Victory in Life
Chapter 425
As Jasper hung up the phone, Henry asked hurriedly, "Erik?"
Jasper nodded. "He invited us to dinner at the InterContinental Hotel at 5:30 p.m."
"Hehe, it looks like we're in negotiations" Henry said calmly.
"He held the bargaining chip, so it was natural for him to maximize his profits. Let's see what he says" Jasper said.
Henry let out a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "We also don't need to humble ourselves. I'm the one who started this mess, so I'll take responsibility for it. As I said, worst being worst, I'll come back and be frank with Grandpa."
"We may be guilty, but Erik broke the rules first. Our family will not let this matter go. Do you think Erik had the guts to get the Law family to start a full-scale war with Turner?"
"No." Jasper shook his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Everything is very complicated in the Swallow Capital right now. Local authorities and Harbor City businessmen all paid close attention to the Olympic construction project. Small changes can affect the entire project. If we can't handle this properly, then we'll be in big trouble. Therefore, we must keep the situation under control."
"We also can't lower our vigilance. Look, why don't you go and clean up some things first?"
"First, transfer all funds in the company. Second, prepare an alternative project proposal for the Olympic Village development plan. Thirdly..."
At 5:30 p.m., Jasper, Henry, and Julian appeared at the Imperial Hotel Inter Continental Ballroom in time.
The ballroom was large enough to accommodate more than 20 people dining at the same time, but tonight, there were only six people in this vast area.

When Erik saw Jasper enter, he laughed and got up to greet him, "Ah, our most esteemed guest. Please come in."
Henry stared coldly at Erik, who was full of smiles, and curled his lips. He said, "Stop pretending, Turner. We are all the same, so why bother putting on a fake show? Who are you doing the show for? Seeing a hypocrite like you makes me sick."
Erik indifferently and continued to put a smile on his face, saying, "I heard you're in a very bad mood lately, Henry, and they're right. Winter is slowly coming to the capital Swallow and the air is getting drier. Don't get too angry or it'll be bad for your health."
Henry was almost uncontrollable and was eager to punch Erik in the face. He said with clenched teeth, "My mood has never been this good. It's so good that I can't help but want to trample on your stupid face when I see you."
"Is everyone from Low-class Harbor City?" Lisa stood up and said cynically.
Henry turned around suddenly and looked coldly at Lisa. "It looks like you're itching to get hit because I didn't hit you before, huh? Do you really think I won't hit a woman? Make me mad and I'll hit you any way."
Lisa's expression changed. Despite his anger, he was quite worried that the madman was Henry. He had just witnessed the horror this man could inflict when he was angry.
However, Erik was present at the time, so Lisa, who was filled with considerable confidence, countered, What else do you know besides throwing punches? Only an incompetent person would do the punch."
Henry grunting. "You witch! You must have a death wish, huh?"
At this moment, Ben pulled Lisa aside, gesturing her to stop talking. He said coldly, "Sit down, Lisa. There is no point in talking to someone like that. The more angry he is, the more guilty and fearful he is. Don't you think it's very interesting to see his facial expression now?"
