Life at the Top

Chapter 229

“What are you planning to do?”

Kennedy looked at Bob. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

There was a sinister smile on Bob’s face when he said, “What else?

“Jasper has spent more than a billion to buy Gladness and renamed it Advent Entertainment Group. It’s obvious that he needs to spend a lot of effort doing this.

“It’s not easy to succeed in one thing, but it’s extremely easy to destroy it.

“I intend to start with Joseph White. He was in Gladness for many years and knows many secrets and scandals. We’ll ask him to reveal some of it after some time. I call this controlling public opinion.

“I’ll then ask him to poach several top-notch celebrities from Gladness. I call this pulling the carpet from underneath.”

As he said that, Bob chuckled and said, “Once these are all done, we will contact Emperor Entertainment. They won’t want to see a big entertainment company backed by the Laws rise to popularity. They’re more anxious than us. How do you think Gladness is supposed to stay in business if all the industries are against them?”

The more Mitch listened, the brighter his eyes glowed. Bob did not sleep with so many female celebrities for so many years for nothing.

At least he was clearer than anyone about the entertainment industry’s rules.

“I’ll take care of this.” Mitch offered.

“I want to trample Jasper to the ground myself!” Mitch’s expression was grim, and his eyes were exceedingly sinister.

Kennedy mused on how Jasper was almost turning into a demon residing in his son’s heart. If this issue was not resolved, his son probably would not be able to get over it.

At the thought of this, Kennedy nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll leave this to you. We’ll give you a portion of our family’s resources to support you. Also, discuss this with Uncle Bob. He’s more experienced than you and can point you in the right direction.”

Mitch nodded and said excitedly, “Got it. I’ll come to you for help if I need any pointers, Uncle Bob.”

Bob laughed. “Sure. But it’s best that we start this plan a little later. We will easily alert our enemy if we act now.”

“I understand.”

Mitch gritted his teeth and stared viciously at the magazine he had tossed to the ground, saying, “I’ll let him have fun for a few more days first.”

Bob’s eyes flashed with a deep, meaningful smile. “Before Harbor City stabilizes, it’s best that you stay put. Don’t cause a stir. We’ll defeat Jasper sooner or later!”

“Yes!”

Mitch nodded. Although he was eager to end Jasper now, Jasper was simply too reputable at the moment. With the Laws as his backer, it was impossible to get rid of him alone.

He could only wait for the perfect opportunity!

…

On the other side, Jasper was done packing up his luggage and was ready to leave Harbor City.

Many things in Mainland had been put aside because he was in Harbor City for so long. Now that everything here had been dealt with, it was time for him to hurry back.

Mainland’s industry was Jasper’s top priority after all.

After his farewell this time, it would probably be a very long time before he would return to Harbor City again.

Henry and Anna came to see him off at the airport. They had spent a considerable amount of time together during this period of time and had naturally formed a much stronger bond now.

Henry was completely awake by now. What started as a dislike for Jasper in the beginning had turned into admiration today. Jasper had become his role model.

Anna had witnessed everything that Jasper did with her own eyes. An outstanding man like him had sparked the fondness in the depths of her heart.

When they were bidding farewell at the airport, Henry said to Jasper casually, “Let’s both be pompous together the next time I go to Mainland to visit you.”

“I’m not really good at being pompous, to be honest,” Jasper said sincerely.

“Look, you’re being pompous again.”

Henry twitched his lips. He was already used to Jasper’s unexpected pomposity.

On a side note, their relationship was different than before. They were so close that they could joke around with each other at any time.

Jasper looked at Anna who remained silent the whole time and chuckled. “I’m leaving now, Anna. I’ll come and visit you in Harbor City next time, or maybe when you visit Mainland. I’ll definitely take good care of you.”

“Okay, it’s a deal!” Anna nodded, her eyes flashing with a hint of obscurity. She muttered under her breath, “Have a safe journey.”

“Thank you.”

Having said that, Jasper turned to leave.

He had just lifted his suitcase when a fragrant breeze whizzed past him. The soft and graceful woman was embracing Jasper from behind.

Jasper was taken aback. When he turned around, he was surprised to see that it was Anna hugging him!

He did not expect Anna to be so bold!

One must know that this was Harbor City Airport and she was the Laws’ daughter. If anyone saw this, then this would surely make it to the media headlines tomorrow!

“Don’t move, don’t talk, don’t turn around!”

Anna sounded really anxious. It was as if she was afraid that Jasper would turn around and see what she looked like at the moment.

“I’ll let go after hugging you for a little while,” Anna said.

“I might not have the same courage again next time.”

Jasper could hear her trembling voice and smiled bitterly. “Why are you doing this? You’re acting like death is separating us. I’m going back to Mainland, not to die…”

Her slender and dexterous fingers pinched his belly gently. The charming lady was annoyed. How inappropriate were the things he was saying at this moment!

“Uh…”

Standing next to them was a completely dumbfounded Henry. His first reaction was to stop the man and woman who were bursting with hormones as quickly as he could.

Anna’s identity aside, even Jasper was Harbor City’s celebrity right now. These two! This pose! If a paparazzi captured a picture of this scene, even their children’s names would appear at the celebrity gossip corner tomorrow.

“Gosh, Sis, can you please behave yourself? What happened to being demure?!”

Henry said in a panic, and at the same time, he was sweeping his gaze around the place for fear of being noticed.

Anna ignored him and continued burying her face in Jasper’s back. She said in a slightly trembling voice, “I know you have a girlfriend, but… I have the right to pursue my own happiness too.”

“Yes.” Jasper nodded, a wry smile emerging on his face.

“Ask her to prepare herself.”

Jasper, “…”

Henry yelled, “Ah!”

Anna did not continue and let go of her hands.

“You should probably go through the airport security now,” Anna said.

Jasper gave a chuckle and strode off.

He did not turn back at all.

As such, he did not see the blush on Anna’s beautiful face either.

The maiden’s tender bashfulness had vanquished every other maiden out there…
