“Oh? It seems like you aren’t here to celebrate then.”
Jasper turned around and called out, “Julian.”
“I’m here!”
Julian made his way toward Jasper.
“Kick these two people off the venue. They weren’t invited.”
As soon as Jasper finished giving his orders, Zane yelled out in a fit of rage. “Jasper Laine, what are you doing?!”
Mitch had an extremely unpleasant expression etched across his face as well.
He did not expect Jasper to act in such an arrogant manner and kick both of them out after exchanging just a few sentences with them.
If he and Zane were to get kicked out of the event like a wounded dog in front of everyone, it would be beyond humiliating for them. They would be too ashamed to even return to Harbor City.
“This is a topping-off ceremony. I had personally invited everyone present to celebrate the completion of the Southface River project. Since both of you aren’t here to celebrate, why should I let you stay?” Jasper asked them calmly.
The corner of Zane’s mouth twitched; What Jasper said made sense. Thus, he glanced at Mitch instinctively.
There was a dark expression on Mitch’s face. He sneered coldly and said, “There’s no need to use your tricks on me, Jasper Laine. Didn’t you send out invitations to both our families? We’re here to attend the ceremony, but you’re kicking us out instead. If news about this breaks out, who will seem to be the one at fault here?”
Jasper raised his brow and said, “You’re mistaken. I sent out invitations to your fathers, Mr. Bob Lancaster and Mr. Kennedy Langdon. I intended to invite both of them, but neither of your are on the guest list.”
Mitch and Zane’s expressions changed. They had both seen Jasper’s invitation. As he had said, their names had not been on the invitations. The invitation did not invite Bob and Kennedy to bring their respective family members along either.
Mitch’s face flushed red in anger as he let out a disgruntled huff and said, “Since we’re not welcome here, we’ll leave.”
“If you’re here to celebrate the completion of the project, you’re definitely welcome.”
Jasper’s words caused Mitch and Zane, who were both walking away crestfallenly, to freeze in their tracks.
“Regardless of your original purpose behind coming here, there’s no need to leave in such a hurry now. Stick around to greet some guests with me.”
Zane laughed derisively after listening to what Jasper had said. “Are you crazy? What do you take us for? Do you think that we’re your followers like Henry Law? Why should we follow you while you greet your guests? Do you think that you’re that important?” He questioned.
“In any case, I’ve already told you what I wanted to say. It’s alright if you don’t wish to come along,” Jasper said. He then led Julian toward the entrance of the building.
Zane stared at Jasper’s silhouette suspiciously. “Mr. Langdon, what is he playing at?”
Mitch shook his head slowly and said, “I’m not sure. Let’s see what’s going on.”
Henry sneered as he glanced at the two of them. Based on his understanding of Jasper, he knew that there had to be some kind of trap awaiting them.
Jasper had just walked back to the entrance when a few luxurious cars arrived and came to a stop in front of the entrance.
Initially, the arrival of these few cars did not attract anyone’s attention. After all, apart from the reporters, everyone attending the event was of a noble and wealthy background. The event was packed with people, and there were plenty of rich and reputable bosses amongst the guests.
No matter how wealthy they were, could they compare with the Laws?
No matter how much authority they possessed, could they compare with the official from the provincial government?
Therefore, those who noticed the cars simply disregarded it after sparing it a brief glance.
However, everyone’s hearts began to race once they caught sight of the person that stepped out of the car.
