“Everyone needs to suffer a little first.”
Jake nodded and said, “I understand.”
The second Jake left, Dean came over. Dean had a smile on his face, still looking very kind and easy to talk to.
“Mr. Laine, it’s almost dawn now, I really can’t hold on any longer, so I will go back and rest first.” Dean said politely.
Jasper nodded and said, “ I will arrange for someone to take you back.”
“That’s not necessary.”
Dean waved his hand and said, “Everyone is very busy, so I won’t trouble anyone. Anyway, we aren’t very far from the hotel. It’s fine for me to go back by myself.”
Jasper smiled and said, “Okay, come back after you’re well rested.”
“Of course, it’s my honor to be able to participate in such an amazing event.”
Dean politely nodded to Jasper and Henry before he turned around to leave.
Jasper frowned slightly as he looked at Dean’s back.
“Henry…”
Jasper called out suddenly.
“What’s wrong?”
This look angered Young Master Law.
“What do you mean by that? Do you think I am nothing but a useless second-generation that only knows how to cause trouble?”
“No.” Jasper quickly rejected the thought.
“Don’t worry. I might not be able to do anything else, but I’ve been practicing how to tail and keep an eye on someone ever since I was young. So I won’t fail when it comes to this guy,” Henry said, feeling pleased with himself.
He clapped his hand and got up. He said, “I’m not needed here anyway, so I need to look for something to do. It’s fine if Dean doesn’t do anything, but if he does, I promise I’ll get to the bottom of it for you.”
“Okay,” Jasper grinned and accepted.
“Damn, why do I feel like I’ve fallen into your trap?”
