As the sun began to set and darkness covered the land, Jared got himself changed and prepared to attend the banquet.
Nonetheless, Josephine slept so soundly that she shook her head after Jared tried to wake her up. “You should just go alone. I'm not coming with you. I'm too tired and I just want to sleep.”
After giving Josephine a look, Jared turned and left. Given that she was wearing a protective jade pendant, he would know instantly if she was in any danger.
Meanwhile, at Glamor Hotel...
Everyone who was someone in Horington was there. Due to Jared, William's position in Horington was significantly elevated. In fact, even Walter and Glen had to treat William with respect.
As for the other families, all of them ingratiated themselves with William and were envious of the fact that he had a wonderful daughter.
“Mr. Chance is here,” someone yelled.
The moment they saw Jared enter, everyone stood up to welcome his arrival.
After greeting everyone with a slight nod, Jared took his seat beside William.
As everyone settled down, they were filled with excitement. After all, to be able to share a meal with Jared was a coveted honor by all the prominent families in the city.
“Mr. Chance, I heard that you rejected General Long's invitation to replace him as general at the Department of Justice. Is that true?”
Walter was the first one to ask about the matter.
Jared broke into a slight smile. “I'm just too busy to take over that role.”
Everyone gasped upon learning that Jared had declined the offer. As a result, they were astounded as to how powerful Jared truly was.
After all, the general of the Department of Justice in Summerbank was a position that was senior to even the mayor and coveted by many.
“Let's drink to our heart's content tonight and not talk about business,” William proposed by raising his wineglass. He was cognizant that Jared didn't like others sticking their nose into his business.
