Chapter 681
At the Jordan mansion...
Charmine took some time off to accompany her family for lunch. Suddenly, the butler came in and said, "Madam, the people from Jordown Group are here."
As he spoke, a man clad in a suit walked in.
The man looked around the house in disgust before eyeing the dishes on the table.
They were mere ordinary dishes like pasta, chicken, and salad.
The man shook his head in disapproval. "Has the Jordan family stooped to such a stage, eating a poor man's meal? Even the salad our President eats would be a hundred times better than this table full of dishes!"
His tone was full of mockery and contempt.
The Jordans glowered at his words.
"And what are you doing here?" challenged Adam. "You’re not welcomed here."
"Hmph. Of course I don't want to come to this poor housing area, but I don't have a choice. Our Jordown Group is hosting a banquet, and as you're a small and rather well-known company in Burlington, we'll still make the gesture of sending you an invitation in person," the man spoke as he took out an invitation and handed it to them.
"It's your banquet,” Adam scoffed, "what makes you think we'll go?"
"All of the attendees are renowned people in Burlington, and Burlington's top one hundred are going as well. Although you're going bankrupt soon, you're almost within the top one hundred, I hope? Unless you're not coming because you think you can't even get into the top one hundred? Or are you all so embarrassed to attend the event of the upper class? Are the Jordans scared?" 1
His cold words were provoking, dipped with fiery contempt.
If they did not show up, it would be as if the Jordans had no dignity to show themselves.
Daresay, it would be as if they were hiding!
Senior Jordan slammed his hand on the table, exuding an authority only an elderly man possessed. "No matter our status, it's not for a small assistant like you to mock, to force US. Get out! Someone, get him out!" snapped Senior Jordan.
The butler made a gesture with a cold face to the bodyguards. "Out!"
"Hah! What a bunch of losers. Still acting arrogant, eh? You're eating so poorly at home, and I'm giving you all a chance to eat something better during the event. Don't waste this opportunity!" The man's eyes were almost growing on his head.
The Jordans were so angry that their faces were turning green!
Adam instructed, "Guards, ask them in to drag him out!"
Charmine, who had not spoken all the while, suddenly said, "Everyone, do calm down. Since they've come to US, it's only natural we should go and support them."
"Oh, Charmine, you have some wisdom after all..." The man's expression eased a little. However, before he could speak, Charmine had already stood. She walked over to take the invitation from his hand.
