At the same time, Lisa and Ben, who were worried about offending Henry, saw Jasper’s figure as well.
They felt their scalps getting numb as if they had just been electrocuted. They cried out in surprise and disbelief involuntarily.
“It’s him!”
“Do you guys know him?”
Ian and Norman asked quickly when they saw Ben and Lisa’s reactions.
Putting aside the rest, the organizer of this banquet was destined to flourish after this.
If their children were able to have some connections with someone on this level, would it mean that their family was in luck?
Ben and Lisa looked at each other and saw each other’s pale faces.
How would they dare to tell the truth? They had a connection with him, but it was a horrible one.
Lisa was beside herself when she remembered that she had called Jasper a low-level person and a hillbilly in so many different ways.
Yet, she was the low-level person now!
Perhaps the reason they were able to show up was not because of how powerful the Turners were, but it was that Jasper, the organizer, wanted to see their expressions after they knew the truth.
Lisa wanted so badly to crawl into a hole.
Ben also could not take this. He was almost drowned by fear and regret.
If he knew Jasper had such a scary background and identity, he would not have had the courage to pursue Wendy.
Now, these two had not even settled the matter of them offending Henry when it was suddenly revealed that Jasper was powerful and had such a huge background. They felt as if they were in a dream.
“This time… we’re in huge trouble,” Ben gritted his teeth and said with no color on his face.
Lisa thought about it and comforted him, saying, “Benny, don’t worry. There’s a way to turn this around.”
“What do you mean?” Ben frowned and looked at Lisa.
Lisa took a deep breath, and her eyes were twinkling wisely. She appeared to be farsighted at this moment. She said, “Actually, the person who’s the most difficult to handle is Henry. The rest will be easy once we settle him.
“Even though Jasper is much more powerful than we thought, so what? He’s not one of the four rich families. He’s just a person who’s trying to make connections with them at most. Even if he’s not the low-level person we thought back then, I don’t think he’s that powerful, right?”
Ben frowned and thought about it. He was not saying anything.
“Mr. Turner promised that he’ll help us talk to Henry. When that happens, do you think Jasper will be able to do anything when Mr. Turner shows up and warns him?”
Ben nodded slightly when Lisa said that.
“If that’s the case, Jasper is nothing. However, I saw earlier that he might be friends with Henry. I’ll go talk to Jasper later and you should go look for Mr. Turner. As for the rest, we’ll figure out what to do when the time comes,” Ben gave the final verdict and said.
…
At this moment, Erik was looking at Jasper who had the spotlight on him. Everyone’s eyes were on him as well. Erik’s face was pale, and he only felt his throat getting bitter and dry.
Even though he had been defeated by Jasper back then, he never accepted his fate and kept wanting to seek revenge this whole time.
However, at this moment when he was looking at Jasper, Erik felt a huge sense of helplessness.
‘We’re both young, but how can you be so much better than me?
‘How am I going to seek revenge on you?’
He clenched his fists, and his heart was filled with unwillingness.
Everyone had always been jealous of him, and this was the first time he was jealous of another person the same age as him. Plus, this jealousy was bone-deep.
“Did you promise Lisa that you’ll help her talk to Henry?” Brad averted his unreadable gaze from Jasper and asked nonchalantly.
