“T-That brat…”
Phil pointed in the direction of the door from which Jasper had left and said without knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Back then I thought Kayden was the steadiest and Fabian was the most maniacal among the younger generation in Harbor City. From the looks of it now, this kid might defeat both of them.”
“The moment I saw him, I thought of something,” Morrie said.
All the people of their generation trusted Morrie’s judgment. He never made a mistake when it came to judging one’s character.
“This feels like the plot of Lolita.” Morrie let out a sigh gently and said softly.
Upon hearing that, Zachary stared blankly at Morrie before guffawing.
While he was laughing, his face was filled with the same sort of gratification and complacency that one would feel when his peers finally acknowledged the junior he had his set sights on.
Zachary’s love for this young man was not to be outdone by his love for his biological son.
Phil shook his head. Although he was shocked by Jasper’s finesse and wisdom, he felt Morrie was exaggerating when he said that.
The plot of Lolita?
Did this mean that Jasper was Humbert and all of the younger generations in Harbor City were Lolita?
What a joke.

Harbor City Sacred Heart Hospital.
Since this was the best private hospital in Harbor City, every patient here was either rich or famous.
Even in Harbor City, which ranked among the top in the world in income per capita, not everyone could afford to pay 3000 Harbor Dollars for a 15-minute consultation with a doctor.
However, the high price provided meticulous care. They had the top medical team in Harbor City. If they could not cure your disease, they would contact the top experts in various fields around the world for a co-consultation.
The officials and nobles in this land cherished their lives the most. Because on this, Sacred Heart Hospital always had the foundation to take root in Harbor City. Meanwhile, its majority shareholder was the Atticus family.
Therefore, when Fabian was hospitalized, he was naturally assigned the best care.
At this moment, Fabian was warded in the best VIP room. His head was wrapped in gauze, but some blood was still seeping out from it. It made Fabian’s face look very pale.
“How’s the situation?” Fabian closed his eyes and lay in bed as he asked faintly.
“Those three were subdued and the Laws called your father a few hours ago. However, he doesn’t have much to say to Zachary Law.”
“He asked me to tell you to focus on recuperating.”
A man in his fifties said softly.
Fabian slowly opened his eyes and replied coldly, “This is a chance that’s hard to come by. I want to call my father. No matter what, I want to make the Laws pay a painful price.”
“Your father is taking care of this so please don’t worry too much,” the old man said comfortingly.
“Does he think I won’t be able to handle this because I suffered so badly before this?” Fabian growled.
The old man immediately stopped talking.
At this moment, the door to the room opened.
The bodyguard in black said respectfully, “Mr. Atticus, there’s someone here to see you.”
Fabian roared, “Is it a mediator for the Laws? How ridiculous. Do they not see that I am recuperating? I don’t want to see anyone!”
The bodyguard answered awkwardly, “He said his name is Jasper Laine and he said you’ll want to see him after I tell you his name.”
Fabian eyes widened immediately.
