Fabian was a man of his word. He said three hours, so Jasper saw Henry and the gang getting escorted out of the detention center not a minute more or a minute less.
Henry was grumbling as he strutted out of there. As he walked, he was boasting to Alex who looked very off-color.
“What did I say? So what if he’s Fabian Atticus? Does he have an extra ball hanging between his legs? Even if I f*ck him up, what can he do to me? He’ll still let us out obediently in the end.”
While he was being detained, Henry knew no one would dare to do anything to him. On the other hand, Howard’s hot temper and impressive body ensured the latter did not suffer much.
On the contrary, Alex, who was weaker and did not have a powerful family, suffered quite a lot. Therefore, he became the target for them to vent their anger. Those people were obviously venting the anger they accumulated from Henry and Howard onto Alex. Thus, Alex’s face was swollen and bruised. He was even walking with a limp.
However, fortunately, he only suffered some flesh wounds. Even though Alex did not have a strong family like the Atticus Family or the Laws, he was still someone well-known and reputable in Harbor City. Even though those people listened to the Atticus family, they did not dare to go overboard with this.
“Mr. Law, you’re fine, but I’m not. ”
Alex clutched his face and said with a sob.
However, after he said that, he did not hear Henry’s response for a very long time. He lifted his head and saw Henry running toward a man on the opposite of the road while screaming on top of his lungs.
“F*ck me! I knew you wouldn’t leave me to die!”
Henry ran toward Jasper and pulled him into a tight hug.
This action stunned Alex and Howard. Everyone knew Henry’s temper and behavior, so who was worthy of being treated like that by him?
As Henry’s two best friends, Alex and Howard never experienced this kind of affection before, even though they had gone through thick and thin with him. Alex started to feel a little jealous inside.
Meanwhile, Howard stared at Jasper while looking pensive.
After patting Henry’s back heavily, Jasper said, “How are you? Did you suffer in there?”
Henry said cockily, “They wouldn’t dare to even if you gave them balls of steel.”
Jasper nodded and said, “This is my fault. I didn’t think this through.”
Henry grinned and said, “What does it have to do with you? I let it go to my head back then. I can’t stand seeing that idiot Fabian looking pleased and arrogant. That’s why I decided to stir sh*t up.”
“Well, your father put all important matters aside and is waiting for you to go back home now,” Jasper said.
Henry’s expression changed and he said, “Damn, straight out of the pan and into the fire, huh? I can’t go home now, if I do, that old thing will kill me.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be with you,” Jasper said with a soft smile.
At this moment, Alex and Howard walked over.
“Let me introduce you guys, this idiot with the swollen and bruised face is Alex Jean, and that’s Howard Branson.”
Henry pointed at the two of them and said, “This is the boss. He’s my brother-in-law, Jasper Laine.”
When Alex heard Jasper’s name, his eyes lit up. Not a lot of people knew what Jasper looked like in the circle of young masters in Harbor City. However, almost everyone had heard of him.
News of his work from the previous market rescue to the direct monopoly of half of the entertainment industry in Harbor City that almost disabled Mitch and the others had spread like wildfire.
Moreover, they knew that Henry was causing trouble for Fabian for Jasper’s sake.
“Hello, boss!” Alex had no limits. He immediately went and greeted Jasper to try to suck up to him.
On the other hand, Howard merely nodded at Jasper and said stiffly, “Hello.”
Jasper had a good feeling about these two men who were willing to risk everything for Henry. Hence, he smiled and said, “Thank you both. I owe you one.”
