In truth, Jasper had been watching Prince’s expression and reactions since Timothy entered the room. From Prince’s reaction, Jasper had some gained valuable information.
Prince did not expect Timothy’s appearance. In fact, Prince was extremely shocked.
Just as Jasper thought about how the situation would change with Timothy’s appearance, Henry spoke up.
“I am…”
While Timothy was overcome with utter rage and resentment, Henry was completely unafraid.
As far as he was concerned, there was no reason for him to be afraid when he did not kill Timothy’s son.
Timothy immediately glared at Henry when the latter replied.
“Henry!”
Timothy clenched his jaw, his voice sounded extremely pitiful.
“My son’s been spending time with you people all this while. Even if he was ignorant and accidentally offended you, then couldn’t you just have scolded him? The Law family is powerful and wealthy, we can’t afford to offend you.”
“But you shouldn’t have killed him! I’ll make you pay with your life for this!”
Henry frowned and replied patiently, “I know that you’re very angry, but you have to listen to my explanation. This has nothing to do with me.”
“Nothing to do with you?!” Timothy smiled in extreme anger.
“My son is now a cold body lying in the morgue. You think a mere ‘nothing to do with you’ will let you get out of this unscathed? You’re going too far!”
Timothy shouted. The group of people he brought over seemed to be well prepared and each of them had a cold look in their eyes as they each pulled out a machete from their waists.
From the way things looked, it seemed like these people would do anything to take Henry’s life today. There was no going back once that happened.
Julian’s gaze was serious and he looked ready to move anytime.
Just then, Jasper walked out.
“Mr. Burke, there really is a misunderstanding.”
Jasper’s tone was calm. “Just think about it, everyone knows that it’s big trouble to be involved in a murder. Not to mention the murder of someone from the Burke family. What deep hatred must Henry have toward your son to kill him without regard?”
“Even if he’s got some irreconcilable hatred with your son, there’s no need for him to kill your son himself and leave evidence behind, right?”
“He could’ve just found some random people to kill your son in secret. There’s no promise that he would get away, but at least he wouldn’t leave such obvious evidence, correct?”
“More importantly, even if Henry had killed your son, there’s no way he would wait for you to come after him here. It’s not logical.”
Jasper’s words were sensible, but Timothy was driven by the pain of losing his child and he did not care.
“I don’t care who you are but get lost right now. I don’t need to hear your explanation all I want right now is to make Henry pay for killing my son!”
Timothy had just finished speaking when the dozen or so men immediately surrounded them with gleaming blades in hand.
Just then, Prince took two quiet steps backward and narrowed his eyes as he watched the scene unfold.
Regardless of why Timothy appeared here, Prince could tell that Timothy’ s appearance had helped to break the impasse Jasper caused. This was something good for him.
Once Jasper realized that a conflict could not be avoided, he no longer hesitated.
“Jul, disarm them.”
Julian immediately carried out Jasper’s instruction. While there were more than a dozen people and they were all evidently fighters from their fierce faces, these people were no match for Julian.
