“Uncle Law, is Gladness Entertainment seriously considering selling?” Jasper asked. Zachary nodded and said, “Their boss, Michael Lane, is an old friend of mine.” “Gladness Entertainment Movies is a branch of his company, Gladness International Corporation. It did quite well in the early years, and the company earned quite a bit of money in the movie industry. However, Harbor City’s movies have been losing their popularity in recent years.“Which is why he has decided to switch his focus from the movie industry to financial asset management and go international. That’s why he wants to carve out the entertainment portion of his company and sell it.” Jasper thought to himself that the head of Gladness Entertainment Movies, Michael Lane, was a visionary. In his past life, Harbor City’s movies had peaked in the 90s. Gangster films, gambling films, and movies starring Stephen Cole had made up the youth of a whole generation. However, their fame started fading starting from the ye

“Alright, you deal with your matters in Harbor City first!” “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.” Jasper talked to Wendy about other matters before hanging up. However, he did not go straight to bed. He used the hotel’s computer to browse the news and make some notes in the notebook he brought along with him. Although rebirth was Jasper’s greatest advantage, it would slowly weaken over time. Jasper was not one to sit on his laurels both in this life and the previous one. Thus, he needed to study and analyze the day’s news. Hard workers would not necessarily succeed, but successful people were always hard workers. Jasper was convinced of that. The next day, Anna dropped by the hotel with a tailored suit for Jasper. “It’s for the charity ball tomorrow,” Anna said as she passed the clothes to Jasper. “How did you know my measurements?” Jasper asked in surprise. Anna said gleefully, “Besides being the second young lady of the Law family, I’m also a designer. It’s not th

Anna and Henry arrived at the hotel in the early afternoon to pick Jasper up. You would never drive yourself to such formal events, which was why the Law siblings had their chauffeur drive them in the family’s other Rolls-Royce. Henry, also dressed in a suit, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Jasper stepping out of the hotel. “Why bother buying an entertainment company when you look like that? Might as well go star in a movie and gain instant fame,” Henry said with jealousy. Jasper laughed as he got into the car. “Starring in a movie is such tiring work. How could it be as easy as being a CEO?” Henry clicked his tongue and was about to say a reply when he noticed something. He stared intently at the suit Jasper was wearing. A couple of seconds later, Henry wailed and said in equal parts anger, jealousy, and woe, “Anna Law, isn’t this the suit you designed?!“You wouldn’t let me wear it no matter how much I asked. Were you waiting for Jasper?!“I’m your brother! You

As the crowd stared, the Rolls-Royce pulled to a stop at the red carpet. Someone immediately came forth to open the door. Lights immediately began flashing wildly. It was as bright as if someone was shining a large searchlight. Henry was the first one to get out of the car.The wealthy son was well-known by both the tabloids and the crowd. Then, there was a face that most people did not know. “Who’s that?” Someone asked curiously as they watched Jasper getting out of the car. Even though they had no idea who he was, everyone understood that any person who could enter a venue in the same car as Henry Law would be someone important. He would have to be at least an esteemed guest of the Law family to have such eligibility. Both Zane and Mitch’s blood were boiling as they stood some distance away. They were wishing they could charge forth and pummel Jasper to death. Under the flashing lights, Jasper turned to stand by the car door in a gentlemanly manner. He reached out

Who was Anna Law? She was recognized to be the most beautiful lady in the upper circle of Harbor City.She was the apple of Old Master Law’s eye. The number of people who wanted to date her could form a line that stretched from Victoria Harbor to Causeway Bay! They were all sons of rich families too. However, they were now hearing this from Henry Law? The journalist who asked the previous question seemed to think that they had struck gold, but by the time they wanted to ask another question, Henry had already walked off. He was finally free from the flashing lights once he had crossed the red carpet and entered the hotel. However, the socializing that came after was also a pain. The differences between various cliques were exceptionally obvious in vanity fairs like these. The four big shot families formed a clique of their own, and no one else was allowed in it. When the four big shot families were done socializing, they would scatter off to look for those who were

Mitch stared at Jasper’s retreating figure. He felt blood pooling at the base of his throat, but he could neither swallow it nor spit it out. He had just been gloating over the fact that Queenie was his date, and Anna Law suddenly appeared beside Jasper the very next second. Queenie was pretty and famous enough. To be honest, one could not be embarrassed bringing Queenie along to any event. She was on par with his status as Mitch Langdon too. However, one was always worried to be compared with.A man’s success was measured by the woman beside him. Queenie was fine, but could she and Anna be compared side by side? They were miles apart. Mitch felt his face burning, and that translated to him feeling annoyed as he stared at Queenie. “Young Master Langdon… You…” Spooked by the look in Mitch’s eyes, Queenie was just about to speak when she heard Mitch saying, “F*ck off!” Queenie stared at Mitch, flabbergasted. “I said, f*ck off!” Mitch turned after speaking coldl

Just then, Zachary had already led Jasper over to a modest-looking middle-aged man who had a pair of round glasses on. “Jasper, this is Michael Lane, otherwise known as Mr. Lane. He’s the CEO of Gladness International Corporation.” “Mike, this is the wonderful young man I’ve been telling you about, Jasper Laine.” When Zachary was done with the introductions, Jasper extended a hand and said while smiling, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Lane. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Michael smiled as he shook Jasper’s hand. “I’ve never heard about you in the past, but Zach’s been talking about you for the past few days.” The fact that Zachary and Michael had nicknames for each other proved that they were on close terms. After exchanging pleasantries, Jasper said, “Mr. Lane, I won’t beat around the bush anymore since Uncle Law is here. I’m interested in purchasing Gladness Entertainment, which you currently own.” Michael glanced at Zachary before he smiled at Jasper and said, “I do intend to se

“Mr. Laine, you’ve been really close to the Laws recently. You guys must be planning something together. No matter what you are planning, you have to count me in as well!” Jasper raised his brow at Michael’s words. Logically, the first thought that came into Jasper’s mind was that Zachary Law must have told Michael something.However, Jasper immediately snuffed out the possibility of something like that happening. From a business perspective, Zachary had a position that ranked higher than everyone present here. Even if he had a good personal relationship with Michael and wanted him to join his side, he would not just disregard Jasper and tell Michael everything. For now, the fact that he was working together with the Laws was absolutely confidential.It was impossible for Zachary not to understand the risks of involving more people in their plans. If something like that were to be exposed to the outside world, especially by someone from the Law family, it would definitely
