Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query The middle-aged manâs words had suddenly caught everyoneâs attention.
They had only heard about those who shamelessly bought an invitation card for a million just to attend the event.
However, they didnât expect anyone to be so brazen as to sneak in!
âWho?â
âWho is it that snuck in?â
âLet me see who the shameless one is.â
Suddenly, Jonathan became the target of everyoneâs ridicule. When she heard the comments, Margaret added fuel to the fire by pointing at him instead. âHeâs the one that snuck in!â
Pointing at Jonathan, Margaret felt a sense of self-satisfaction, as if she was gloating over having exposed Jonathan.
âAre you the one who snuck in?â The middle-aged man stared coldly at Jonathan and sneered, âYou have caused me to rethink how I see this world. All this while, I have only assumed the worst people would do was to buy an invitation card so that they can bask in the glory of the Blackwood familyâs banquet. However, I didnât expect you to be more shameless than I could possibly imagine! Whereâs security? Come here at once!â
Just as he roared, a group of security guards hurried over in a fumbling manner. To them, every guest at the banquet was a mover and shaker of Jadeborough. Therefore, they knew they couldnât afford to offend anyone.
âWhat is it, Mr. Crane?â the security guard asked sycophantically.
He recognized the middle-aged man as Victor Crane, Chairman of Crane Group. With a net worth of only one to two hundred million, he wasnât considered extremely wealthy. Or else, he wouldnât be seated in the last row next to the toilet.
Nevertheless, he was still someone the security guards couldnât afford to offend.
âThrow this man out!â Victor pointed at Jonathan. âHave all of you been sleeping on the job? How can you allow someone to sneak into the Blackwood familyâs banquet without your knowledge? All of you are nothing but trash. Whatâs the point of paying your salary?â
âWhat? Someone snuck in?â The security guards looked curiously at Jonathan after hearing what Victor said. The Blackwood family was the most prominent in Jadeborough. Hence, there was no way anyone could have snuck in.
âMay I know if you have an invitation card?â The security guard didnât dare infuriate Jonathan yet.
After all, they knew they couldnât afford to offend anyone in the banquet.
âNo!â
Jonathan shook his head.
âIn that case, how did you get in?â The guardâs expression drastically changed when he heard that Jonathan didnât have an invitation card.
How did he get in without one? This is a dereliction of our duty!
âThrough the front door!â Jonathan declared calmly.
âNonsense!â The moment Jonathan finished, Victor pointed at him. âHe doesnât even have an invitation card. How could he have entered via the main entrance? Do you think the Blackwood residence is your home?â
âItâs none of your business,â Jonathan snapped at Victor, who refused to let the matter slide. âAre you the Blackwood familyâs dog whoâs in charge of guarding it?â
âWhat did you say?â
Victor was outraged by Jonathanâs words. âSecurity! What are you f*cking waiting for? Throw this uninvited assh*le out right now!â
âYes, Mr. Crane!â
The guards glared at Jonathan. âSince you donât have an invitation card, please leave at once. Or else, we will have to show you the way out.â
Now that they knew Jonathan didnât have an invitation card, there was no need for the guards to be cordial.
They dared not get on the nerves of the Blackwood familyâs guests, but an uninvited guest like Jonathan wasnât going to be an issue at all.
âOh? What are you going to do about it?â Jonathan sneered.
âIf you refuse to leave, we will have no choice but to throw you out!â the guard scoffed. With a wave of his hand, a few guards behind him surrounded Jonathan with batons in their hands. âSeize him!â
At his cue, the guards prepared to strike with batons. However, Margaret pretended to be oblivious to what was going on.
In fact, she was smiling smugly, as if she was looking forward to the drama that was about to occur.
Suddenly, Josephine interrupted with a frown, âI was the one who brought him in.â
Despite her hatred for Jonathan, she couldnât bring herself to watch him being thrown out of the Blackwood residence.
It would be an utter disgrace.
âYou? Who are you?â Victor snorted. âDo you have an invitation card?â
âI do!â
Josephine brought out her invitation card. However, before she could say a word, Margaret quickly cut ties between them. âDonât listen to her. We didnât bring him in. In fact, he has nothing to do with us!â
âMomâ¦â
Josephine was exasperated by Margaretâs response.
âJosephine, he is a useless coward who doesnât even have an invitation card. Why do you still care about him?â Margaret mocked. âHe deserves to be thrown out for sneaking in here!â
Just as she spoke, Margaret looked toward the security guards. âWhat are you spacing out for? Kick him out already!â
âYou canât do that!â Josephine stepped forward to stop the guards.
âJosephine, step aside. What has he got anything to do with you? Do you know him?â Margaret quickly drew a line between Jonathan and Josephineâs relationship. Just when both of them were in a stalemate, Jonathan, who had been silent throughout, suddenly spoke. âJosephine, you donât have to protect me this way. Even if the head of the Blackwood family is right here, he wonât dare throw me out, let alone a lowly security guard.â
âJonathan, stop it. For how much longer you want to continue this act?â Jonathanâs tone caused Josephine to lose her temper.
Doesnât he realize how dire his situation is? He is about to be kicked out, and yet, continues with his facade? Does he genuinely think heâs some big shot? If he really is one, why doesnât he have an invitation card?
âThe head of the Blackwood familyâ¦â Victor couldnât help but scoff, âYou donât deserve to even see him! Who do you think you are? Youâre nothing but a hoodlum without an invitation card. How dare you claim the head of the Blackwood family doesnât dare chase you out? In fact, thereâs no need for him to be here. Just the security guards alone are enough to throw you out!â
Evidently, Jonathanâs words were a joke to them. The moment he finished speaking, everyone burst into hearty laughter.
Obviously, everyone felt that he was nothing but a clown.
âWhat are you waiting for? Throw him out right now!â At Victorâs cue, the security guards approached Jonathan. Just when they were about to grab him, a thunderous voice rang out. âStop! How dare you touch him?â
Who is it? Why is there another busybody?
As if by reflex, everyone looked in the direction of the voice. The moment they saw who it was, they felt a chill down their spines.
In fact, they were so shocked that they didnât even dare to breathe.
