Chapter 261


    Tommy and the others couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing Glen’s words.


    Benedict’s face was flushed with embarrassment immediately. Although he was unhappy, he did not


    dare utter a single word.


    “No, no, no!” Devin waved his hands in dismissal before pulling Simon toward him. “This is my son,


    Simon. Benedict is his father-inw!”


    Glen calmed down after getting a grasp of the situation. However, his tone was still stern and cold


    when he asked, “Why did you bring so many people along, Mr. Moore? Don’t you know I want to dine


    here discreetly?”


    “I’m so sorry, Mr. Lowe. I’ll get rid of them at this instant!” Devin shuddered in fear before kicking Simon


    and roaring, “Get lost! What a bunch of dimwits!”


    Simon was so startled, and he left immediately. The same could be said for Benedict and his family as


    they left the room hastily.


    That was an utter embarrassment for him and his family.


    “What was that, Simon? Why does it seem like Mr. Lowe had no idea we were showing up?” Gianna


    was furious upon getting out of the room.


    “I can’t believe you have the audacity to ask me that! This is all you guys’ fault! Why wouldn’t he be


    upset? He just wanted to have a meal in peace before all of you barged in.” Simon was in no mood to


    bow down to his wife after receiving that kick.


    ording to Simon, he was ming Ste as well. Hence, she felt embarrassed upon hearing his


    words.


    “That’s enough! Stop creating a scene! Are we not embarrassed enough?” Benedict red at Simon


    and his wife before saying, “Let’s go back and wait for a while. Who knows? Perhaps Mr. Lowe would


    change his mind after Mr. Moore put in a few good words!”

    “Yes, my dad will definitely try again. In the meantime, we should head back first.” Simon nodded.


    With the wine sses in their hands, everyone went back sullenly.


    As soon as they got back to their own room, they saw Jared packing up all the food in takeaway boxes.


    Jared wasn’t surprised to see Benedict and his family’s return.


    “What are you doing, Jared? Is this what you do when you’re treating someone to a meal? Since we


    are still here and not done eating, how could you pack up the food? Are you trying to flee without


    paying the bill?” Ste fumed the moment sheid eyes on Jared. At the same time, she wanted to


    release her frustration after what had happened.


    “If I remember correctly, some of you said they were going to dine with the mayor. Furthermore, I heard


    none of you wanted toe back. Did I remember wrongly” Jared shot Ste a cold look and chuckled.


    “Wait, did you guys get ignored and chased out?”


    “Cut the crap! You’re just jealous. We’ve already dined with the mayor, and we’ve even offered him a


    toast. What do you know? You’re just a useless ex-convict. Besides, I thought you said you’ve been to


    Mr. Lowe’s house to dine? We’ve asked him about that, and he denied it,” Javier said with a look of


    contempt.


    The way he tantly lied about his encounter with the mayor was deceivingly convincing


    Although Benedict and his family were aware of Javier’s lie, none of them stood out to contradict him.


    Obviously, Jared knew right away Javier was lying. Also, their wine sses were still full when they


    returned. Why would their sses still be full after drinking with the mayor?


    “Javier, perhaps you should sharpen your lying skills. Your wine sses are still full! How could you’ve


    drunk with the mayor? Seeing how you could lie about such a thing, you’re just as despicable as a


    useless ex-convict, if not worse!” Jared snickered.
