Henry’s analysis made sense.
Yet, Jasper could not help but feel like there was more to this incident.
In all honesty, from what he came to understand, the Royal family was an extremely powerful presence in Waterhoof City, or even the entire mainland.
If people like Norman could gain the Royal family’s support, then he would have made a huge name for himself long ago.
However, he had only come to seek the Royal family for help once he was on the edge of life and death.
Either Norman and the Royal family had history and this was a favor the latter owed the man, or there was a more to this situation that outsiders did not know about
Still, Jasper could not help but feel like he would meet the Royal family sooner or later.
“The most important thing is that I’ve never planned to let Norman and Lisa go,” Jasper said calmly.
Royal family or not, Jasper would weed out and completely destroy the father-daughter duo.
He could not opt to give up and run just because some so-called Royal family appeared out of nowhere.
Jasper might as well sell his company and go back to farming if that was the case.
“If you really need it, I could help you get you a meeting with someone from the Royal family.” Henry suggested.
Jasper shook his head and rejected him.
“No. You can’t be involved in this, because that means the Law family will be dragged into it. The situation will only become difficult to control if that were to happen.”
“Let’s wait and see. If this Royal family wants to protect Norman, then they’re going to have to contact me.”
Henry shrugged and replied, “You decide then. I’m going back to play my game, but remember to ask if you need my help.”
“The Royal family might be powerful, but that doesn’t mean they can do whatever they want. Keep yapping bullsh*t and I will still slap them across the face.”
Jasper’s premonition was right, as a middle-aged man came looking for Jasper at noon.
“Hi, is this Mr. Laine from JW?” The middle-aged man was extremely courteous as he greeted Jasper by the door with a small respectful smile.
Jasper glanced at the man. He could tell from one look that this middle-aged man was not the host, but someone like a messenger.
“I am. And you are?” Jasper asked.
The middle-aged man smiled and replied, “I’m Coffey Copeland. My apologies for disturbing you so suddenly, Mr. Laine.”
“Coffey Copeland… What a unique name.” Jasper smiled.
Coffey was unfazed, as if he was used to people making fun of his name. The man bowed slightly and said, “Mr. Laine, I’ve been ordered to invite you to a meeting.”
“With who?” Jasper asked.
“Dominique Royal, the little prince,” Coffey raised his voice slightly when he said the name. He seemed to hold endless admiration and respect for the man.
Indeed.
Jasper’s heart chilled.
“The little prince wants to see me, but he won’t come and invite me himself?” Jasper asked calmly, narrowing his eyes.
Coffey frowned slightly, as if displeased by Jasper’s ‘arrogance’. Yet, he replied gently, “The little prince values this meeting with Mr. Laine very much. Thus, he’s decided to wait at the venue in advance.”
There was no fault in both the tone and content of the man’s words.
Even so, Jasper still felt the forcefulness of the little prince in it.
Instead of appearing himself, the man had booked a place and sent someone to invite him.
This meant that the little prince was certain that he would attend.
“The car’s already waiting downstairs, so would you please follow me to the meeting, Mr. Laine?” Coffey piped up again, upon seeing how Jasper remained silent.
“Give me a moment, I need to change,” Jasper replied calmly.
The entire time, Jasper had never once planned to invite Coffey into the room.
