Jasper’s words eased up the tense atmosphere a little.
Zachary smiled, leading Henry and Anna into the room first.
Brad and Erik followed closely behind.
When Brad walked past Jasper, he stopped in his tracks and sized Jasper up and down. He suddenly said with a smile, “Would you like to come to the Turners’ to have tea some time?”
Everyone else put on a skeptical expression as soon as Brad said those words.
What was that supposed to mean?
Was he trying to draw Jasper over to his side?
Was he trying to mess with the Laws?
Zachary, who had not walked too far yet, smiled without a single care. He then walked straight into the Imperial Ballroom.
If Brad’s method was that useful, then he, Zachary, would have been doomed a long time ago.
Besides, the relationship between the Laws and Jasper was not a simple partnership that outsiders thought it to be. After going through so many trials and errors together, the Laws and Jasper had already become one.
Among the three other richest families in Harbor City, it was common knowledge that if anyone laid a finger on Jasper, then that person was also going against the Laws.
In other words, ‘I, Zachary Law, have a gorgeous and outstanding daughter like Anna. What the f*ck do you have, Brad?’
Norman and Ian both looked at Jasper with a complicated expression.
They did not expect Jasper to be so outstanding that even Brad would extend an invitation to him.
This qualification was so rare that even the two of them who were from the same generation as Brad had never enjoyed such privilege before, let alone their peers.
