With Jasper giving him the green light, Henry was instantly elated.
However, seeing as the rest of the guests had also been attracted by the commotion and had surrounded them, there was no way Henry could run over and deliver a few more kicks to William now.
As expected, a Vice President from Colossal Investments’ Headquarters soon walked over.
“Mr. Laine, Mr. Law, I believe that there must’ve been some sort of misunderstanding.”
The Vice President smiled wryly. He was infuriated by William’s foolish actions, but he had no other choice than to clean up his mess after him.
Others may not know who Henry was, but he sure did.
Thus, he knew that it was going to result in huge trouble the moment William, that imbecile, insulted Henry.
To some degree, the Vice President would much rather William have insulted Jasper instead of Henry.
Jasper looked at the Vice President calmly and spoke in a meaningful tone, “I see. So, the Vice President believes that William’s verbal attack and racist remarks to my partner were merely a misunderstanding, correct?”
In the United States, racial discrimination was a huge issue that was broadcasted loudly.
Hence, right after Jasper spoke, the expressions of the black people in the hall, as well as the white Vice President changed.
The black people looked at William distastefully, causing the Vice President to feel the urge to kick William twice more.
“Mr. Laine, Mr. Law, please believe me when I say that Colossal Investments will not allow any racist behavior or opinions. I’m sure Mr. William had accidentally misspoken.”
With that, the Vice President turned to look at William who had cake all over his face and was wearing an embarrassed and painful expression. “What are you waiting for? Apologize now!”
William suppressed the burning anger within him. He did not understand why he had to apologize when he was the one who had gotten hit.
However, under the Vice President’s demanding gaze, William bit his tongue. He knew apologizing was the only way to resolve this issue peacefully.
Apologizing to Henry was fine, he would treat it as an insignificant attack on his dignity.
However, he would much rather die than apologize to Jasper.
Rooted in place, William ignored the burning agony in his abdomen. He felt like a clown, one that everyone was currently laughing at.
All of this was Jasper’s fault!
William blamed Jasper for everything.
Taking a deep breath, William first apologized to Henry with a bow. While the latter sneered, William turned to Jasper.
“My apologies, Mr. Laine.”
Jasper took in William’s pitiful state and spoke calmly, “Now that I think about it, we’re old friends, aren’t we, Mr. William? If memory serves me right, you’ve always had something against me, haven’t you, Mr. William?”
William calmly replied, “Those are personal matters. They have nothing to do with what happened today.”
“Is that so?” Jasper chuckled, “And yet, I’ve heard that you tried to prevent Sena from going public through Colossal Investments, Mr. William.”
When he said this, all the guests’ looked intrigued.
Who would have thought that there was such a story behind today’s incident?
The Vice President’s expression changed as well and he hastily turned to Jasper, “No matter what, Mr. Laine, our partnership is going well now, isn’t it? I have faith that our partnership won’t deteriorate because of such external factors.”
