Both Drogo and Mr. Heron were stunned when they heard him.
Even Vita was shocked.
He did not expect Jasper to speak up.
The only one unsurprised was John.
After all, John had known Jasper for a long time and he knew that Jasper was a man who did not like being disrespected, nor did he like the people around him getting disrespected.
If he spoke up and interfered with this tonight, it at least meant that he saw Vita as a great friend.
Vita could understand this as well, so after the initial shock, he felt was touched.
“Yo, which moron is it this time?”
Mr. Heron turned around and looked at Jasper icily. Drogo’s expression was one of complete annoyance now.
He already planned to offend Vita, so who cared about the young man beside him?
“Enough. Are you done yet?”
Drogo shouted at Jasper, “I’m the owner here. I already said I’ll send you the same dish later! Don’t take advantage of my kindness!”
If Drogo was conflicted before he made his decision and guilty after deciding, then he was completely annoyed now as he faced Jasper.
He thought that Jasper could not read the room.
“Can you stop causing trouble? Do you want all of us to turn against each other and become enemies? Is that what you want? ”
Mr. Heron was elated when he heard Drogo and snickered icily. He was in no rush to join in just yet; “It’s just one dish. I don’t care whether I get to eat it or not.”
Jasper said, then he looked at the table full of dishes and exotic food before continuing calmly, “I also don’t care whether this table of food is free or not.
“But if we ordered something and you don’t send it over, then of course I’ll ask you about it.”
Drogo scoffed and replied darkly, “Don’t think too highly of yourself, young man. You’re just a youth, what right do you have to talk here?
“Ask me about it? It’s not like I’m looking down at you or anything, but if I’m not even going to entertain Vita, then why would I entertain you?”
Jasper looked at Drogo intently but ignored him.
