“Pfft… Hahahaha.”
Anna could not help falling on the couch laughing.
Henry’s smile froze on his face. He turned his head and stared at Jasper, seemingly trying to confirm whether Jasper was serious about it.
“There’s no need to stare at me. I can tell you for sure that I’m being serious.”
Jasper shrugged and said, “I know you’re very unwilling. After all, you’re an adult who’s accustomed to being free, and to suddenly have your peer, someone who’s even a few years younger than you, guide you, you will feel more or less humiliated.
“Similarly, I’m in a tough position myself. It’s really awkward for me to have a student who’s older than me.
“So if you can persuade your dad and your grandfather, I will gladly skip this errand.”
As Henry listened to Jasper, he knew what he meant.
“What if you use my dad and the rest to pressure me?” Henry said with a scowl.
“We’re not trying to pressure you. We just want you to know that right now, you can’t resist, nor do you have a choice. You can only listen to me,” Jasper said in a mild tone.
“Don’t even think that I like having to watch over you. I don’t have the time for that. But since Mr. Law and Old Master Law requested it, I will think of a way to transform you so that you’ll stop being a little bug, at least.”
“Who are you calling a little bug!?”
Henry stood up abruptly, roaring while staring at Jasper.
“You.” Jasper put down the wine glass, looked at Henry, and chuckled. “What’s wrong? Want to hit me?”
“You think I’m not brave enough to touch you just because my dad and my grandfather are on your side?” Henry said coldly.
At this moment, Anna stood up and frowned at Henry. “What are you trying to do?”
Henry pointed at Jasper and said to Anna, “Didn’t you hear him calling me a little bug?”
Anna said calmly, “Actually, I think he’s right.”
Henry’s expression sank.
“Look at yourself. What else can you do aside from leading a life of debauchery and hanging out with your prodigal friends? We’re even the ones paying your credit card bills. You’re nothing without your family.”
Anna wanted to use this opportunity to wake Henry up, hence she spoke in a very direct manner.
Henry’s expression was cold and dark. He did not utter a word.
“I’ll talk to him,” Jasper said to Anna.
When he saw how anxious Anna looked, Jasper smiled and said, “Don’t worry, if we do fight, this prodigal young master might not necessarily be my match.”
“I’m going to the washroom.” Anna compromised.
Henry was so furious he laughed out loud. “Are you actually worried that I’ll hit him, Sis? Aren’t you worried that I’ll get beaten up instead?”
“If you get beaten up, that’s because you deserve it.” Having said that, Anna walked toward the suite’s balcony.
After Anna left, Jasper said to Henry casually, “You must be really unhappy about this. I don’t intend on pleasing you either, so here’s the deal. You have no choice but to listen to me for now.
“Don’t be in a hurry to speak yet. If I give your dad or even Old Master Law a call right now and tell them about your attitude, do you think they’ll think that I’m being too pushy or will they think that you’re a hopeless prodigal?”
Henry was livid and harrumphed. “So you’re not going to let me go, huh?”
“Well, you can’t say that either!”
Jasper did some stretches and said, “I just want you to understand one thing clearly. You’re nothing after you leave the Laws. As for me, I’m a lone wolf, so no one in this world can stop me.
“Take for example, if the Laws cancel your credit card tomorrow, then even simple things like paying for gas will be a problem for you. On the contrary, I earn all my money, so no one can stop me from doing anything.”
