John Jackson and the rest of them were all quick-witted and intelligent people.
They could easily tell what was going on at just a glance.
They could tell that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right.
The other people in the room were not on the level to drink with them whereas the atmosphere was slightly off. With that, John and the others clinked their glasses with Jasper and left the room.
Jasper had no interest in staying there either. He followed John and the others to the Orchid Chamber upstairs.
On the other hand, Wendy did not leave as she instantly got surrounded by a bunch of their classmates.
“Wendy, those people were all here to look for Jasper Laine?”
“They seemed to treat him very courteously.”
“What kind of person is Jasper now? How can he have a meal with those renowned people?”
Annoyed by all the questions, Wendy spoke out directly, “Weren’t you all sucking up to Ivan Larson just now? Why do you guys care about Jasper? Does a poor jerk like him deserve your attention?”
It was common knowledge that women tended to hold grudges. Thus, it was impossible for Wendy to forget how they mistreated Jasper just now.
All of them had awkward expressions on their faces. A few of them were embarrassed.
“Wendy, we’re all classmates. Don’t be like that,” Quinny said while pulling at the hem of Wendy’s shirt.
Wendy’s impression of Quinny was rather good. Furthermore, she did not do or say anything against Jasper from the very beginning.
Letting out a sigh, Wendy waved a document folder at Ivan, whose face was ash pale. “Do you know what’s inside this folder?” she asked.
Natural person shareholder: Jasper Laine (Fully-owned holding).
Sharp intakes of breath instantly resonated in the room when all they caught sight of the keywords in those three lines of text.
