Conrad smacked the table hard and roared, “Don’t be so full of yourself, Henry Law! Do you think you can disrespect us just because your father is rich?”
“Hehe…”
Henry removed his feet from the conference table and stared at Conrad before saying, “Anyone else is qualified to say those words but not you, you old braggart. Got it?
“Had it not been for your rich father, would you even have stood a chance to be here today? You’re just a f*cking idiot.
“Darn it. We’re both trust fund babies with hard-working dads, so don’t pretend like you’re some sort of VIP in front of me!”
As he spoke, Henry grinned at the sullen and livid Conrad, adding, “Oh that’s right, you forgot something. I not only have a hard-working father, but also an awesome grandfather. Your father is the only one you can fall back on, so stop boasting in front of me or I’ll smack you to death.”
Conrad was losing his mind.
He merely said one thing about Henry in a fit of pique earlier, but Henry shot back like rapid fire and said at least seven to eight things about him.
Moreover, there was no room for him to refute.
Truth be told, he had indeed relied on his family’s business to get to where he was today. Had he not been a Monty and had he not been lucky enough to be born in a well-off family, he probably would not have achieved what he had achieved today.
Conrad gritted his teeth, and with a trace of sanity left in him, he said with a sneer, “Just because you have a stronger backing than me, you think you can disregard me as a human? Fine, I’ll find someone who’s on par with you and see how you can handle that.”
As he said those words, Conrad got up and walked toward the conference room’s lounge. He opened the door and said, “It’s your turn now, Mr. Langdon.”
Having said those words, Mitch Langdon walked out of the lounge with a smile while everyone’s attention was on him. He first glared bitterly at Jasper and then looked at Henry while smirking. “Hey, Henry. Surprised to see me?”
Henry was surprised indeed. “F*ck me. No wonder Conrad is so full of himself. It’s because you’re here to back him up, huh?”
As Henry said those words, he chuckled and continued, “What’s wrong? The slap you received in Harbor City wasn’t painful enough? Do you want me to do it myself?”
