“Please extend my gratitude to the old master on my behalf,” Jasper said sincerely to Anna.
Although it were the Laws who had asked for him, they had treated him with enough respect in all aspects regardless.
Jasper was not one to have an exaggerated opinion of his own ability. He respected Old Master Law, and his words were spoken from the heart.
“You should convey this to the old master yourself,” Anna said with a smile.
“Alright, Little Sis. You’ve picked up the man, I’m leaving now.” Henry took the opportunity to say this just as Jasper was getting into the car.
Anna furrowed her brows and said, “Grandfather wants to invite Jasper for dinner at home tonight. Where are you running off to?”
“Oh shucks, Grandfather also knows that I don’t fancy these kinds of occasions. I’ve already made plans with a friend, so I’ll be going off first.”
As Henry finished saying this, he sped off in a hurry.
Anna sighed. Turning around, she got into the car.
The same moment the driver started the car, Anna said to Jasper apologetically, “My brother, he is in truth a bit rude, so please don’t mind him.”
“Not at all. From the way he sees it, we’re simply not individuals from the same world. It’s not surprising that we might not have things to talk about.” Jasper actually understood this clearly.
“Apart from his group of scoundrels, who else would be of the same world as he?” said Anna unhappily.
As they sat in the car, there was a faint feminine fragrance coming from his side. This fragrance was not heady and carried with it the slight scent of perfume.
Ordinary women certainly wore perfume as not all women had a natural bodily fragrance. Like for Wendy, she did not really fancy using perfume as her body was naturally pleasant smelling.
It was different for Anna, though. The perfume on her body was supplemented by the scent of her own body, making it even more fragrant. Even though it was not heavy, the level of its intensity was one that tugged at heartstrings the most.
Jasper felt some discomfort sitting in the same car with both of them so close together.
They were so close that the two could clearly feel each other’s breath and heartbeat.
“This is the first time you came to Harbor City…”
“This is the first time I’m in Harbor City…”
The both of them opened their mouths and spoke at the same time, then stopped at the same time as well.
Looking at each other, the two began laughing. The previously awkward but charming atmosphere immediately dispersed.
“You speak first,” Anna said softly.
Jasper smiled lightly. “I wanted to say that this is my first time coming to Harbor City and I’m not familiar with the place. I’d like to ask you to bring me around Harbor City later. I heard that Victoria Harbor is the most beautiful at night.”
Anna’s face turned a faint red. She nodded and said, “I was just about to say the same. I’ll be your tour guide when you’re free tomorrow.”
As they chatted happily, the car drove quietly on the road and gradually left the bustling city.
Sassoon Road, Repulse Bay. As the top wealthiest district of Harbor City, almost all of the four wealthiest and most powerful families in Harbor City lived here.
33 was the residence of the Law family.
In Harbor City, the huge gap between the rich and the poor could be seen from the housing.
99% of the people in Harbor City lived in cramped ‘coffin rooms’ with family members essentially piling up on one another.
For a large family like the Laws, the area occupied by their house was so extravagant that their wealth had soared within this rich port city.
Entering through the gates of the villa and bypassing the garden lawn, Jasper then arrived at the door of the villa.
To his surprise, Zachary Law himself was actually waiting at the door.
This action showed that the Laws were really treating him like a distinguished guest!
