Hendrik chuckled and spoke, “Don’t jump to conclusions so quickly, Foxx. Mr. Williams hasn’t even said anything yet.”
Jon halted mid-grumble and looked at Mr. Williams reflexively, only to realize that the other was frowning and looking at him with displeasure.
Jon immediately lost all bravery to speak, not knowing where he had made a mistake.
“The people from Easy Media have made it very clear when they sent over the list that we don’t have to invite a single person on the list. Easy Media has already contacted them and confirmed their attendance,” Mr. Williams spoke calmly.
Jon instantly paled and shouted in shock, “No way! There’s no way someone like Jasper could invite the four rich families!”
Mr. Williams replied coldly, “Are you suggesting that my eyesight and my hearing are horrible because of my age, or are you implying that Jasper is so gallant he’s making a joke about something like this?”
Jon sputtered and was lost for words.
With a scoff, Mr. Williams replied, “The older you get, the more close-minded you are! Leave! You don’t need to follow up on the banquet’s preparations anymore!”
Jon walked out of the office despondently and muttered under his breath with his teeth clenched fiercely and resentfully.
“Just wait and see, Jasper Laine! I won’t let you get away with this! There’s no way you’ll be able to invite all four rich families to the banquet! I’d like to see how you plan to save your dignity when you make a fool of yourself!”
…
At Swallow Capital University, the doors to the MBA refresher course.
Jasper was currently waiting for Wendy’s class to end.
The two of them had agreed to go out for dinner together.
The banquet was in two days and all the guests on the list had already received their invitations.
This MBA class was made up of formidable students. Four to five of them received invitations thanks to Wendy.
The rest of them had also received invitations thanks to their own contacts and ways.
Everyone was currently bragging about the invitation they had, leaving those without invitations embarrassed and disappointed.
In Swallow Capital right now, being invited had become a symbol of their strength.
Wendy walked out of the class excitedly and turned to Jasper happily. “My classmates are very grateful. They keep asking me how I did it but don’t worry, I didn’t sell you out.”
“How are you going to thank me, then?” Jasper chuckled.
Wendy took in Jasper’s gentle smile and her mind was filled with rather indecent thoughts.
She must have thought of something for her cheeks suddenly flushed lightly and she averted her gaze while muttering, “You rascal!”
Jasper felt very wronged considering the ‘rascal’ was completely unwarranted and he was about to speak when he saw Ben and Lisa walking over.
“What are you doing here again?” Lisa asked Jasper distastefully.
Jasper simply replied, “Fetching my girlfriend.”
Lisa scoffed. “I’ve never actually seen someone as shameless as you. You’re even calling her your girlfriend, did you not hear a word I said that day?”
“Sorry, I don’t have the habit of listening to flies whizzing around my ears,” Jasper replied.
Lisa turned slightly pale due to being infuriated and spoke angrily, “Who are you calling a fly?”
Ben spoke calmly, “There’s no need to be angry at the lower class, Lisa. You should take good care of your skin. You’re going to the banquet with Mr. Turner in two days, after all. People from the lower class like him will only get to watch it on TV.”
Lisa scoffed. “You can never be sure. With how good Miss Wendy’s connections are, who knows? She might even manage to get him an invitation.”
