Honestly, in terms of schemes and means, Conrad was by far the most powerful peer whom Jasper had ever encountered.
If Gale and the Laws had not backed him up this time, he might not have had trouble bringing down the Hanks family, but he would have had trouble subduing Conrad.
Jasper had a hunch that Conrad would be a huge problem to him.
After suffering a massive blow this time, Conrad was not going to attack rashly anymore, but when he would attack, it was bound to be an earth-shattering one.
“What are you afraid of? When the soldiers arrive, we’ll use a general to keep them off!”
Dawson patted Jasper on the shoulder and laughed. “If you can beat him once, you can beat him twice.”
Just then, the office door was pushed open and Wendy walked in.
“Dad, I’m having dinner with Jasp tonight.” Wendy finished her sentence and was about to drag Jasper out the door.
“We are? I didn’t know that!” Jasper exclaimed in surprise.
“You’ve been working your tail off. Didn’t Julian tell you yesterday that he and his sister wanted to invite us to dinner?” Wendy was exasperated.
Jasper smacked his forehead and said, “Oh, right! Julian wants to introduce his martial artist friend to us. I plan to hire a female bodyguard to protect you.”
Wendy used to be very resistant to bodyguards but had now learned her lesson and did not object. She knew that her safety was no longer her own affairs. She had to think about Dawson and Jasper too, at least to reassure them.
Wendy said helplessly, “I hope she isn’t the nosy kind.”
After a quick conversation with Dawson at the company, Jasper and Wendy went downstairs together.
Julian and Cathy were already waiting downstairs.
“Mr. Laine, Ms. Schuler.”
Cathy took the initiative to greet them with a bright smile.
