Hendrik chuckled and spoke, “Don’t jump to conclusions so quickly, Foxx. Mr. Williams hasn’t even said anything yet.”
Jon halted mid-grumble and looked at Mr. Williams reflexively, only to realize that the other was frowning and looking at him with displeasure.
Jon immediately lost all bravery to speak, not knowing where he had made a mistake.
“The people from Easy Media have made it very clear when they sent over the list that we don’t have to invite a single person on the list. Easy Media has already contacted them and confirmed their attendance,” Mr. Williams spoke calmly.
Jon instantly paled and shouted in shock, “No way! There’s no way someone like Jasper could invite the four rich families!”
Mr. Williams replied coldly, “Are you suggesting that my eyesight and my hearing are horrible because of my age, or are you implying that Jasper is so gallant he’s making a joke about something like this?”
Jon sputtered and was lost for words.
With a scoff, Mr. Williams replied, “The older you get, the more close-minded you are! Leave! You don’t need to follow up on the banquet’s preparations anymore!”
Jon walked out of the office despondently and muttered under his breath with his teeth clenched fiercely and resentfully.
“Just wait and see, Jasper Laine! I won’t let you get away with this! There’s no way you’ll be able to invite all four rich families to the banquet! I’d like to see how you plan to save your dignity when you make a fool of yourself!”

The banquet was in two days and all the guests on the list had already received their invitations.
