Mia was surprised by Jack's retort. She was taken aback by how rude the server was to go against her, and even boldly argued that servers were people. Who did this punk think he was?
However, a glint flickered in Feena's eyes, seemingly understanding the situation from Jack's reply, slowly realizing Jack might not have been a server.
However, she was afraid to clarify Jack's identity. After all, she knew him too well. Plus, Jack's family background did not provide any support in his career.
Standing not far away, Amelia and Queenie looked at Jack in shock. Jack's reply was humble and courteous at this second, yet it shut Mia up. They felt relieved from the situation.
After all, Amelia and Queenie were working to entertain and serve the guests. Mia's condescending tone toward servers angered them, so Jack's retaliation indirectly helped them.
When Thomas read the situation, he stood on Mia's side, pointed his finger at Jack, and reprimanded, "What is the meaning of this? If you are not a server, who are you? Don't tell me you're one of the business owners invited to this submission. I think you're a thief, here to steal from a premium event like this."
"Tom is right. If you can't prove your innocence, I'll get security to lock you up."
Thomas and Mia's accusations grew louder, attracting doubtful gazes toward Jack from the crowd.
From their odd and suspicious gazes, they seemed to have assumed Jack was a trespasser.
However, Jack remained calm and unfazed. He looked at Mia disdainfully and said, "I don't need to explain to you trash bags about how I got here. Take a good look in the mirror before you throw any accusations."
Mia and Thomas were trembling from anger.
