With Jasper giving him the green light, Henry was instantly elated.
However, seeing as the rest of the guests had also been attracted by the commotion and had surrounded them, there was no way Henry could run over and deliver a few more kicks to William now.
As expected, a Vice President from Colossal Investments’ Headquarters soon walked over.
“Mr. Laine, Mr. Law, I believe that there must’ve been some sort of misunderstanding.”
The Vice President smiled wryly. He was infuriated by William’s foolish actions, but he had no other choice than to clean up his mess after him.
Others may not know who Henry was, but he sure did.
Thus, he knew that it was going to result in huge trouble the moment William, that imbecile, insulted Henry.
To some degree, the Vice President would much rather William have insulted Jasper instead of Henry.
Jasper looked at the Vice President calmly and spoke in a meaningful tone, “I see. So, the Vice President believes that William’s verbal attack and racist remarks to my partner were merely a misunderstanding, correct?”
In the United States, racial discrimination was a huge issue that was broadcasted loudly.
Hence, right after Jasper spoke, the expressions of the black people in the hall, as well as the white Vice President changed.
The black people looked at William distastefully, causing the Vice President to feel the urge to kick William twice more.
“Mr. Laine, Mr. Law, please believe me when I say that Colossal Investments will not allow any racist behavior or opinions. I’m sure Mr. William had accidentally misspoken.”
With that, the Vice President turned to look at William who had cake all over his face and was wearing an embarrassed and painful expression. “What are you waiting for? Apologize now!”
