The voice reverberated in the yard like a thunder.
Followed by rounds of laughter.
Mr. Ward and Brent put on a long face.
However, Jack smiled nonchalantly, “Let’s go sit at the table by the door.”
Jeweline was furious.
He knew Jack was trying to help him, but Jeweshine and the gang treated him with such arrogance.
Boiling rage filled his chest.
Gritting his teeth, he pushed Jeweshine and the trio away and walked up to Jack’s table with long strides.
“Jeweline, the banquet is about to begin. Where are you going?”
The man being addressed as Paul berated.
Jeweshine stopped him, “It’s okay, Paul. You know him, he’s just a good-for-nothing. Let him be, or it’ll be embarrassing for the Hunter family.”
Just as Jack and the other two sat down, another figure appeared and sat down beside them.
“They didn’t ask you to sit here.” Jack looked at Jeweline.
Jeweline smiled, “I don’t want to sit with those despicable people. I feel more comfortable sitting with you guys.”
“It’s all right. Let’s go back to the main table later.” Jack patted on Jeweline’s shoulder.
“What are you talking about?”
Jeweline rolled his eyes indifferently.
Jack did give him the impression of a rich guy.
But a rich guy from outstation didn’t have the power to cause a racket in the city.
Unless he was a billionaire.
But Jeweline didn’t deem Jack was a billionaire. He never saw such young tycoon.
Jack simply smiled without saying anything.
Mr. Ward and Brent looked at Jack in confusion.
Mr. Ward leaned towards Jack and asked in a low voice, “Young master, are we not going with the plan?”
The purpose of attending this banquet was to investigate about Patrick’s whereabouts.
He understood Jack’s personality. Even if they were at the main table and went through what just happened, Jack would’ve bear with it and continued with the plan.
But based on what he just said, he obviously changed his mind.
Jack patted on Mr. Ward’s shoulder smilingly and didn’t say anything.
He did want to go with the plan in the beginning.
But he had empathy for Jeweline when he saw what he was going through.
They were in a similar situation, it was just that they chose different ways of handling it.
In this out-of-the-way small town, it didn’t hurt to flex a little.
Moreover, Jeweline did give him a good impression.
At the main table.
Jeweshine and the trio turned around to look at Jeweline.
“Jeweshine, something’s wrong with Jeweline’s head today that he dares to throw temper in front of us like that.”
“That guy has nothing but temper. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he’s the direct lineage in the family? Too bad the Hunter family doesn’t run on the orthodox family rules.”
“Oh yeah Jeweshine, how much did you make on the stock market this time? It was such a great achievement. Guess the old master is going to mention it at the banquet later. Jeweshine will definitely secure the place as the rightful heir of the family!”
Jeweshine smiled complacently upon hearing the last sentence.
He said in a low voice, “Not much, just a few billions.”
A few billions? Not much?
The trio was agape.
And immediately echoed.
“Jeweshine is indeed the most accomplished man in the young generation. Who else can be the rightful heir other than him?”
