After the message was sent, there was no reply for a long time.

Levi sent another one.

[???]

Still nothing.

He called Franklin. When the call connected, Levi asked, “Today is the Wilson Tech annual banquet. Where are you? It’s already so late. Why haven’t you shown up?”

“I’ve got something going on today,” Franklin said.

“So you’re not coming?” Levi asked.

“Yeah. Have fun,” Franklin replied.

Levi fell silent.

Before he could ask anything else, Franklin said he had urgent matters to deal with and hung up.

Levi stared at his phone.

Since Franklin had already made it that clear, Levi did not press further.

In his view, given how much Franklin cared about Julia, if he were not truly tied up, there was no way he would miss the banquet.

Just’as Levi was about to call Harry, Harry’s call came in first. “I’ve got something to handle too. I won’t be going.”

Levi sighed. “Alright then. You guys are really busy, one after another.”

Harry did not say much. He chatted briefly with Levi and then hung up.

Julia had already seen the messages Levi sent in the group.

Franklin was not coming. Chad had told her that earlier.

As for Harry, the day after she sent him the invitation, he had messaged her to say he had too much on his plate and could not make it.

He did not even bother calling her. One text was enough to dismiss her.

“Miss Brown.”

Rex walked over to her. “I still have something to take care of, so I’ll need to leave first.”

Unlike most people, Rex had arrived very early.

The Cole banquet was also being held tonight. Julia knew he was heading there next.

She smiled politely. “Mr. Hardin taking the time to come despite his busy schedule already means a lot to me. Since you have other commitments, I won’t keep you. I’ll be sure to attend Zongxing’s banquet tomorrow on time.”

“You’re too kind, Miss Brown,” Rex replied.

Rex was indeed on his way to the Cole banquet.

No matter how much he disliked Maggie, when it came to business, he could not deny Cole even basic courtesy.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Julia, he turned and left.

As soon as Rex was gone, Levi saw that neither Harry nor Franklin had shown up and felt bored. He came over to tell Julia that he was leaving as well.

Hearing that Levi was about to leave so soon, the smiles on the faces of the Green family and Brown family members stiffened, barely holding together.

Most of the guests in the banquet hall had come because of Franklin and Harry.

With neither of them present, at least Levi and Rex showing up had helped save some face.

But now, with Franklin and Harry absent and Levi leaving not long after arriving, they could already imagine what the other guests would think.
