If one could comprehend something when other people had guided them, that was being savvy—it was cleverness.
If one could subconsciously learn while actively applying something after another’s guidance and then immediately turn it into one’s own means of conducting everyday life, then that was wisdom.
As a first-rate heir, Henry had received the most elite education ever since he was young. Whether it was the influence of his family or his environment, he would only be smarter and have more advantages than ordinary people.
Not every heir or heiress was feeble-minded.
Henry was a little stubborn and mischievous, but it was undeniable that he was indeed a diamond in the rough.
He could shoulder great responsibility with a little carving and polishing.
Therefore, Jasper was very satisfied with Henry’s performance now.
At the very least, Jasper finally had some confidence in Zachary and Old Master Law’s expectations in letting him coach Henry.
A harsh beating from the real world was the best teaching material. Jasper reckoned that it might not be a bad thing to let Henry suffer a big loss this time.
After returning to the hotel, Hector rushed to work relentlessly while Jasper and Henry returned to the room to discuss the next strategy.
Fortunately, after Old Master Law came, Anna went to stay in the same hotel as Old Master Law to take care of him. Meanwhile, Henry stayed behind because he was afraid of getting lectured.
If Anna were still here, this matter could not be kept hidden for long.
“Right now, we can only locate the person first and see if we can follow the clues to come up with some evidence. The current situation is very disadvantageous for you and me. The main thing is we don’t know what exactly they made you sign and how they’re going to use these things.”
Jasper analyzed as he sat in the study, pouring a cup of tea for Henry and himself.
Henry said with a grimace, “It feels like there’s always an invisible bomb by my side.”
At this moment in the hotel’s parking lot.
Lisa and Ben were sitting in the car, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
“Lisa, I feel like Young Master Turner is sending us to our deaths,” Ben said with a dissatisfied expression.
Lisa took a deep breath. She stared at the tall and glorious hotel building in front of her and said, “What are you afraid of? We now have Henry’s fate in our hands. What else do they still dare to do to us?”
Ben said with a frown, “But why didn’t Young Master Turner come by himself to fish for information about Jasper and Henry and have us come instead?”
Lisa said through gritted teeth, “Didn’t you hear Young Master Turner say that he has other matters to attend to? Cousin, don’t think too much. Now that we’ve already gotten involved with this matter, it’s impossible to pull out even if we want to.
“Do you think Henry and Jasper will let us go after everything has been exposed? If we don’t do a good job for Erik, he won’t even care about us when the time comes. We’d really be tethering at the end of our ropes then.”
Ben made up his mind upon hearing this. With a deep voice, he said, “You’re right, we have no choice now. Think about how Henry treated us before. Not only us, but even our parents were thoroughly disgraced! We must avenge them!”
The two of them got out of the car and entered the hotel after finishing their discussion.
Ben took a deep breath as he came to the door of the room. Just when he was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.
Looking at the expressionless Julian, Ben said coldly, “Are Jasper and Henry here? I want to meet with them.”
“Wait here,” Julian uttered the two words coolly, turned around, and entered the room.
Jasper’s voice came from the room after a moment, “Come in.”
“How arrogant,” Ben sneered and brought Lisa into the suite.
Jasper sat on the sofa in the living room of the suite, looking at Ben and Lisa who walked in.
“Where’s Henry?” Ben asked when he did not see Henry after sweeping his gaze around upon walking in.
“He went out to run errands,” Jasper said playfully, “I initially thought it was Erik behind the scenes, but I didn’t expect the two of you to be meddling in this too. Now that I think about it, Erik must be afraid to be exposed and criticized. He doesn’t dare to get involved in some dirty business, so the two of you are his best tools.”
Ben and Lisa’s complexions changed. The latter stepped forward and said, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“It doesn’t matter if you understand or not. Anyways, you two have to make the purpose of your presence clear. If you have anything to say, just say it,” Jasper said indifferently.
Ben sneered as he stared at Jasper and said, “The way you pretend to be all dignified is really disgusting.”
“Your attitude was much better when we met backstage during the banquet a few days ago than it is now,” Jasper said playfully.
Ben was overcome by anger when he suddenly recalled the time he had apologized to Jasper humbly but still got humiliated.
“Don’t think that you can be so haughty just because you have power. I’m telling you, there are way more people in this world who have better means than you. Who do you think you are? Have you heard of the phrase ‘pride comes before a fall’?” Ben berated.
Lisa sneered and spoke up immediately after, “Yeah, I can’t stand people like you the most. Pretending as though you’re the most amazing person, aren’t you disgusting?”
“Erik asked you two to come to talk about this nonsense?” Jasper asked.
Lisa scoffed and said, “Of course not. We’re here today to inform you and Henry that Young Master Turner will get the stock transfer procedures done soon. When the time comes, everything you and the Laws did in Swallow Capital will be accredited to Young Master Turner.
“And the money… The Laws are really rich, huh? The account of the branch company in Swallow Capital contains more than a billion.
“Young Master Turner is also very interested in the Olympic Village project proposal. He asked us to send word to thank you for putting forward your plans and ideas, increasing Young Master Turner’s certainty in seizing the Olympic Village project.”
Jasper looked at both of them and said flatly, “Both of you tricked Henry into signing the contract with underhanded means, but that can be completely invalidated. Don’t you know the law?”
Ben let out a loud laugh and said, “File a lawsuit if you have the guts. We have time to engage in this lawsuit with you. It’s written in black and white with the company seal. Do you think the foul play can cover up the fact? Do you think the court will listen to your one-sided statement or look at the evidence?”
Lisa sneered and said, “Are you angry? I bet you must be so angry now, right? After all, you’re about to lose such a big project, and that’s more than a billion dollars worth of loss. If I were you, I might as well go and jump off a building.”
“Haha, this is the consequences of going against Young Master Turner. Before this, you really thought that you were so great when Young Master Turner fell back a little bit. But you don’t know that once he strikes, there’ll be no room for you guys to even defy him!” Ben said proudly.
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
From outside the door, Henry sullenly threw in a man he had caught.
The battered man rolled and crawled his way into the room. As soon as he looked up, he suddenly locked eyes with both Lisa and Ben.
“It’s you!”
“It’s you!”
“It’s you two!”
The three of them exclaimed simultaneously, their faces filled with horror.
