Jasper pulled the door open by its handle and turned to glare at Jacob and Hector with a wretched and fierce gaze.
“F*cking childish.”
Then he turned and left.
The luxurious private room was suddenly empty, leaving Hector and Jacob to stand embarrassingly alone inside.
Hector glanced at Jacob’s bloodied and pitiful face. He handed a few pieces of tissue to his brother and whispered, “Here, Jacob. Wipe the blood off your face first. Should we go to the hospital?”
Jacob could feel his face and body burning with pain.
“Motherf*cker…” Jacob wiped the blood off, his eyes flaring red with anger.
“And Jim f*cking riding on their coattails!” Thinking about how more than half of his injuries were caused by Jim, Jacob wanted nothing more than to drag Jim back and cut him to death.
“F*cking hell, Jim’s nothing more than a piece of trash! Hitting and kicking you just because Jasper and Henry were here, he must have a f*cking death wish!” Hector clenched his teeth and spoke.
Indignation flared within him, and Jacob spat out the words resentfully, “Jim’s just a nobody, we can deal with him however we want. The problem here is Jasper. There’s too much about him that we don’t know about. I didn’t expect him to be so strong!”
Fear flashed through Hector’s eyes. “What do we do now, Jacob? Jasper didn’t look like he plans to let us go at all… Not to mention that he still has Henry supporting him.”
“Let’s go home first. We’ll discuss this with Dad,” Jacob clenched his teeth and spoke.
Hector shuddered and replied with fear, “Dad’s going to kill me when he finds out.”
Jacob glared at Hector and growled. “We would never have gotten to this point had you not provoked the wrong people outside, you useless piece of trash!
“You heard the call Jasper made just now, didn’t you? Harbor City’s Gladness Entertainment Movies is his too. We have nothing to fear when it comes to Easy Media, but how long can my companies hold on if his company from Harbor City steps foot here?
“Does this look like a problem either one of us can deal with? I’d rather we confess now than confess when we’ve gone beyond the point of saving. Go home with me now!”
…
“Are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital, Uncle Yapp? It’s better to let a doctor take a look.”
Jasper asked Jim kindly after descending the stairs in the clubhouse.
Jim shook his head and smiled. “It’s just a small injury. I’ll be fine after a bit of rest.”
Jasper nodded. “Alright then. I still have other things to do, so I’ll have Julian send you back.”
Jim hummed in acknowledgment and glanced at Henry not too far away carefully. “Jasper, about you and the Law family…”
Despite the truth written before his eyes, Jim still could not believe that Jasper was so close to the Law family.
Especially when it came to Jasper’s attitude. Jim could tell that they were more than just friends.
It was very unusual for the son of such a prominent family to treat Jasper with not an ounce of temperament but instead with respect and slight fear.
Jasper smiled and replied, “I spent some time in Harbor City and worked with the Law family before. It’s something Dawson knows about.”
Jim nodded in understanding and reminded, “Be careful then.”
Jasper gave him a small smile. “I know my limits.”
Jim still wanted to ask Jasper what his relationship with the Law family’s daughter was, but he sighed and swallowed his words back when he saw that Jasper was already walking toward Henry.
Despite without the qualifications to be a part of such a high social class, Jim had made a living in Swallow Capital for so many years now that he knew relationships of husband and wife were mere lies to feed the common folk.
All those truly with power and authority were surrounded by women.
Especially when it came to members of the Residence. If they came from a wealthy family, women were something they did not lack.
