Life at The Top novel Chapter 129

Jasper looked at Henry and said in a mild tone, “That’s the difference between you and me.”

Henry was sullen, feeling very upset and itching to punch Jasper in the face, but he had to admit… Jasper had touched a sore spot.

He would be nothing if he left the Laws. It was true that as soon as his credit card was canceled, he would have no way to pay for gas. It just so happened that his car was running out of gas now…

When he saw Henry’s conflicted expression, Jasper tossed him a bait in a timely manner. “If you follow me and learn from me before I leave Harbor City, then I will not only turn you into your father’s right-hand man but when it comes to trading, no youngsters in Harbor City will be your match either.”

“Really?” Sure enough, Henry was hooked.

Trust fund babies were humans too. Henry was not naturally bad, nor did he want to be a little bug. If given the chance, he was eager to improve more than anyone.

Judging from his past life, the future Henry would come to his senses later in his life. After marrying the queen of diving in accordance with his family’s arrangement, he then started to manage his family’s business in an orderly manner as well.

Therefore, it had never crossed Jasper’s mind that trust fund babies were idiots. They had received high-quality elite education from an early age, so they would not be any less educated than others, only wiser.

Henry was one of the best.

“Really!” Jasper nodded.

“Okay, I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow and introduce you to a friend. If you agree to my condition, then I’ll do as you say,” Henry said.

“Cool,” Jasper said casually.

“Heh.”

Henry grinned and said, “I’ll be leaving first, then. Ask my sister to go home earlier.”

Having said that, Henry swaggered out of the room.

Standing on the balcony, Anna saw Jasper coming over and asked, “Done?”

“We’re not like other families. Take my dad, for example. He has an elder sister and a younger brother.

“My aunt and uncle, however, were told that they were not eligible to compete for the family assets and were not allowed to do business when they grew up, hence my aunt is now a lawyer and my uncle a professor at a medical school.

“It’s the same for my generation. The heir is designated, but if my eldest brother is truly inept, then I might take his position, but I don’t want that.

“When you’re born in a huge family, while you get to enjoy the benefits of your family, you also bear huge responsibilities. Having these responsibilities means that you don’t have a say in many major decisions in life.”

Jasper nodded and said, “Old Master Law has his reasons for setting the rules. He has avoided family disputes, at least. Look at other Harbor City’s aristocrats. All of them have had a history of heirs competing for family assets. The Laws, on the other hand, never had similar news.”

Anna let out a slight smile and gently ran her fingers through her hair next to her ear, chuckling. “It’s late. I should be heading back now. Give me a call if anything goes wrong tomorrow.”

“I don’t think that’s necessary!”
