Ben chortled at the suggestion. “So what if he shamelessly finds a way in? Think about the setting.
“Who’s going to pay him any attention, hmm? He can’t possibly introduce himself as Wendy’s boyfriend every time someone talks to him. The host will just think that he’s an idiot and throw him out! Hahaha!”
Lisa covered her mouth as she snickered. “Maybe no one will even talk to him at all? He’s just going to stand in a corner and take a few pictures so it’ll prove that he managed to smuggle into the upper class.”
Jasper calmly watched the two cousins’ performance and asked, “So you’ve been invited too? You’ll definitely be going, right?”
Lisa replied arrogantly, “Mr. Turner and I are close. We might even get married in the future, so what are two invitations? Of course, we’ll be going. Why, are you scared? Or are you upset that Miss Wendy didn’t get you an invitation at all, hmm?”
Jasper replied unaffectedly, “Neither. It’s nice to know that you’ll be going. It’d be a shame if you weren’t.”
Ben was sharply aware that Jasper’s words held more meaning to them than it seemed, but Lisa spoke before he could say anything, “Stop playing around. Oh, how I wish Wendy didn’t get you an invite this time.
“Then at least you’ll truly understand what the upper class actually is. It’s not something a nobody like you can pretend to be part of. You’ll only look like some cheap replica and make a fool of yourself!”
“The upper class?” Jasper asked and huffed a laugh. “Then I shall anticipate understanding what this upper class you claim is.”
Lisa scoffed. “Of course, you’ll anticipate it. What a shame that you can only dream of becoming a part of it one day.”
Lisa then turned to Wendy and chided even though the latter’s expression was completely indifferent. “I’ll say this again, Miss Wendy, but you should really consider it. Ben is more outstanding than that nobody in all sorts of ways imaginable. Why can’t you just understand such simple logic?
“That nobody can’t do anything else except gloat baselessly. He’s just going to cling to you and feed off you. He’s not worth your time at all. Someone as outstanding as my cousin should be your correct match here.”
Wendy stared at Lisa coldly and suddenly sighed.
“To be honest, this is the first time I’ve met someone like you. Everything you talk about, you try and drag the upper class into it. Do you really think that you belong in this so-called upper class with your resources and ability?
“The real upper class don’t act like you.”
Wendy’s words made Lisa’s expression turn sour. The woman glared at Wendy and spoke angrily, “I’ve been polite to you this entire time. What are you trying to say here?!”
Wendy scoffed. “All you do is mock my boyfriend and there’s only so much I can endure before you piss me off. Humiliating him is no different than humiliating me, and you expect me to welcome this, why?
“You keep acting like you’re better than everyone else as if everything you say is for my sake. Let’s be blunt, what does my relationship have to do with you?”
Lisa was irked with humiliation. “I’d ignore women so easily deceived such as you had it not been for the fact that Ben likes you!”
“Then please ignore me.” Wendy took Jasper’s hand and spoke, “Let’s go, Jasp. There’s no point in talking to ignorant people like this.”
“Hold on.”
Ben called out after the two who were turning to leave.
Looking at Jasper calmly, Ben spoke, “Do you have the guts to take up my challenge for a fair fight? I won’t hold my familial background over you, but I will make Wendy change her mind and choose me within three months.”
Lisa scoffed. “You don’t need a woman who won’t admit to her mistake until it’s too late, Benny. What fair fight? As if he’s worthy of it.”
“Enough, Lisa. I know what I’m doing,” Ben spoke calmly.
Ben then turned to look at Jasper arrogantly and sneered, “Do you dare?”
Jasper laughed and replied, “A fair fight?”
