After toasting the main table and giving them his thanks, Jasper realized that Julian had vanished, which meant that the latter had gone to work.
With a small smile, Jasper took the napkin Scarlet handed him to wipe his mouth. Then, he said, “Let’s go, I still have twenty to thirty tables to toast and thank. How’s your alcohol tolerance, by the way? Do you want to come with me?”
“It’s not too bad,” Scarlet replied softly, sneaking a glance at Jasper’s expression. It was as if she was worried that Jasper would get upset upon finding out that she drank.
It was evident that Scarlet was overthinking as, instead of being upset, Jasper replied with satisfaction, “Great. Let’s drink a bit and hold them off.”
“…”
Half of Scarlet’s gentlemanly image of Jasper immediately shattered when she heard the words ‘hold them off’.
However, the man’s kind and caring reputation still held firm in her mind.
The banquet lasted for at least another two hours.
Despite calling it a gala, it was essentially an event for the upper class to socialize.
Everyone seemed to understand the modus operandi as they chatted aimlessly with each other. Everyone was friends regardless of whether they were acquainted or not, almost like how men who sat at the same table in bars became sworn brothers.
Julian only rushed back when the gala was about to end. He whispered in Jasper’s ear for a bit as the latter nodded before he continued to send the guests off.
It was only right that Jasper sent people like Kayden and Kennedy off in person.
After watching them get into their cars and driving away, Jasper said calmly, “Go dig a little further and find out whose villa they went to. We might find something. Who knows?”
Julian nodded understandingly.
“Let’s go, Jasper.” Zachary arrived a little late. His complexion was flushed, and the man seemed to have drunk a bit too much, but he was in a great mood.
Jasper definitely had to send Zachary back to the hotel himself.
“You don’t need to come with me, Jul, I’ll leave by myself later. Send Scarlet back to her hotel then go back and rest,” Jasper instructed Julian.
Julian glanced at Scarlet, then nodded and turned to start the car.
“Go back first, see you next time,” Jasper told Scarlet.
Despite her reluctance, Scarlet nodded obediently and bid him farewell, “Alright. I’ll get going then.”
Scarlet did not forget to bid Zachary, the extremely distinguished figure, goodbye as well.
“I’ll be leaving, Mr. Law.”
“Hmm.”
Zachary nodded faintly.
While the tone was indifferent, Scarlet still let out a sigh of relief.
She knew that no celebrity in harbor City’s entertainment industry could illicit such a response from Zachary.
For those celebrities did not even have the right to greet Zachary.
After Scarlet left, Jasper got into the car with Zachary and Henry.
“Uncle Law, what’s the situation with the Boyle family?”
Now that they were finally alone, Jasper immediately asked about the situation with the Boyle family.
“What do you think?”
Zachary scoffed. “The Boyle family got into big trouble with some business over in Southeast Terra, and Kennedy just so happened to be able to help. The two families have been contacting each other very frequently lately.”
Jasper nodded and chuckled. “Looks like the two families have reached an agreement.”
“Ignore him. Boyle won’t be able to cause any major issues,” Zachary stated domineeringly.
