Henry’s wife would one day be the famous Queen of Diving.
This was something everyone in the country knew about.
However, Jasper was uncertain if this girl Henry seemed so reluctant and bashful to talk about now was the same Queen of Diving in his past life.
After all, even if Jasper was going off the memory from his past life, Jasper and Henry’s statuses were miles apart, and he only knew what gossip articles wrote about. Jasper had no idea if Henry had any girlfriends before the Queen of Diving.
By ‘girlfriends’, Jasper was referring to serious relationships. As far as Jasper and Henry were concerned, women Henry had been with before this were nothing other than sex-buddies.
Still, from the way Henry was acting now, Jasper realized that Henry had truly fallen for this girl.
Jasper immediately felt a headache coming.
Zachary had made it clear that children from rich families like Henry were destined to inherit the family business, meaning the Law family would play a huge part in Henry’s marriage. The man in question did not have any particular opinions of this back then.
However, this was mainly because he had not found anyone yet.
It was a different story now.
Jasper did not really know how Henry had ended up with the Queen of Diving his past life, but she was well known in the sports industry, which the Law family had coincidentally shifted their focus to and began investing more in. Therefore, their getting-together was not totally unprompted.
Even so, Jasper was intrigued by this girl that had captured Henry’s heart.
“What’s her name? Where is she? Do you have pictures?”
Jasper’s three consecutive questions had Young Master Law feeling embarrassed.
“Can you not gossip as much as the paparazzi?” Henry asked irritably.
“Sure, I won’t ask then. You deal with this yourself, I promise I won’t ask at all,” Jasper spoke uncaringly.
Henry suppressed his embarrassment and ignored the Coca-cola on his face when he heard Jasper. He quickly leaned over and said, “No, I can’t decide on my own. I still need your help.”
Jasper chuckled and replied, “Then why are you complaining about me asking these question? I’ve got to at least know the specifics of this girl if I’m to advise you, right? How else am I supposed to help you?”
“Help me plan. You know how difficult dating is for me, right? Considering my identity and status, I’ve got to at least confirm that she’s not just with me because of my family,” Henry stated genuinely.
“Not bad, you’ve actually thought this through,” Jasper praised.
“Her name’s Jill Cobb. She’s on the National Diving Team.”
Jasper’s eyes widened when he heard Henry. He could not help but marvel at the habits of fate.
After everything that had happened, Henry still met the Queen of Diving in this lifetime.
This was a good thing. Their successful relationship in Jasper’s past life meant that Henry was less likely have his heart broken now.
“What’s with that expression? She’s a first-grade diver, not some prostitute, okay?” Henry defended in displeasure.
Jasper smiled. “It’s not that, I’m just very curious. How’d you even fall for someone in the Diving Team… I thought you’ve been Nauritus City all this while? The National Diving Team should be far away in Swallow Capital, no?”
“She just got back from a competition in Australia, and she happens to be instructing for Southeast Province Diving Team right now.”
Henry looked rather embarrassed. “It was by pure chance that we met, and we’ve only seen each other a few times. I can’t really tell why, but I like her a lot.”
“Let’s go look for her, then,” Jasper urged.
“Should we? She might be busy…” Henry’s desire to do this was written all over his face, but the man also looked hesitant.
Jasper felt emotional at Henry’s behavior. ‘Even the fearless Young Master Law can be sensitive.’
“Well, we won’t know unless we look for her. Come on, let’s go together. I’ll help you take a look and see whether she’s right for you or not.”
Jasper got up and dragged Henry out of the office.
However, he went to look for Wendy before they left.
“I’m going out for a bit. Postpone the meeting with Wayne and Jose to later tonight–I’ll buy them dinner instead.”
Jasper then left a confused Wendy standing there while he dragged a blushing Henry out like an overgrown child.
“What the hell are those two doing?” Wendy was confused.
…
The Southeast Province Diving Team was training at the Provincial Sports Center. It was a short distance from Southface River, and took less than twenty minutes by car.
Henry was suddenly terrified when Jasper dragged him to the entrance of the Diving Center.
“F*ck maybe we shouldn’t just go in there. We’ve only just met, so this is really inappropriate,” Henry said as he fought back against Jasper and refused to let him go inside.
“Don’t tell me you haven’t confirmed your relationship with her,” Jasper gasped.
“Confirm what?” Henry tried to mask his guilt and embarrassment by acting tough. “We’ve only met twice and exchanged less than ten sentences. What the hell am I supposed to confirm?”
“Didn’t you tell me all you had to do was use money and luxury items to get women in bed?” Jasper joked.
“F*ck you, how’s that the same?” Henry glared at Jasper harshly and spoke, “You better not blow my cover. I told her I’m a high school teacher.”
“What bullsh*t teacher? With the way you act, she’s got to be crazy to believe that you’re a teacher,” Jasper was filled with joy.
“F*ck you. I’m not going to talk to you anymore if you keep laughing at me!” Henry growled angrily.
“Okay, okay, I’ll stop. Come on, we’re just going to look. It doesn’t have to mean anything,” Jasper replied, ignoring how Henry was still hesitant and unwilling as he pushed the doors open and entered the facility.
“Hi, could I ask where Jill is?” Jasper stopped a female diver who was about to go to practice and asked.
The female diver looked at Jasper weirdly before she pointed at another building and spoke, “Drinking coffee in the lounge with Mr. Kain.”
“Thank you.”
Jasper thank her and then dragged Henry over.
They arrived at the other building and realized that these secondary buildings were all offices. Most of them were occupied by proper businesses except for the ones occupied by the Sports Center and Sports Team, with just a few exceptions.
There was an office for the manager of a training team, which was an externally-sourced private company. The manager oversaw the sourcing investors to sponsor the sports team.
They arrived at the lounge and Jasper was about to knock on the door when he heard a man shouting inside.
“Jill Cobb! Don’t you dare think you’re some sh*t now just because you’ve gotten into the national team and you’ve won a few medals! Do not forget that I was the one who brought you to where you are today. So what if you’ve got a few good records? You’d still be nothing without me!
“All I did was request something small and you can’t even fulfill it. You’re getting brave now, are you? Think you can disrespect me now, huh?”
