Chapter 1020

What was lan Kingsley doing here?

The waitress' heart skipped a beat the moment she recognized lan. Her first instinct was to rush off and inform the manager.

"Shhh." lan frowned slightly, his voice calm and composed. "Let's keep this quiet."

"O-Oh... Of course," she said quickly, nodding with a mix of nervousness and excitement. Then, she asked, "Would you like me to call the manager to personally attend to you?"

lan replied, "No need. Just carry on with your work."

He had come with Myra to meet Jack, and they had important matters to discuss. Attention was the last thing he wanted.

lan gave the waitress a polite nod, then turned to Myra, extending a hand.

"Come on. Jack's waiting for us inside." They slipped into the private room one after another.

As soon as they disappeared, a group of staff clustered around the waitress and asked curiously, "Leah, who was that guy? And why did you look so stunned when you saw him?"

"Keep your voice down," Leah Satch whispered back. "That was lan Kingsley, the general's son. He's a very big deal. I saw him once at an event. Even our boss goes out of his way to stay on his good side."

The waitresses' expressions shifted instantly. None of them had expected lan to be the son of the general. With that kind of background, he could rival even someone like Gerard.

Their hearts started pounding, and they began devising plans.

"Wait a minute. If he's the general's son, then who exactly is this 'Jack' he mentioned?" one of them whispered, remembering how lan had spoken to Myra just moments earlier. Her face paled with realization.

"That's right! He's so handsome and wealthy! I want him."

The others lit up, as if they'd stumbled onto a secret worth millions. Their excitement was impossible to hide.

Leah nodded along. Her thoughts started to race as well. Ian and Myra were here to meet someone, and they'd looked serious, almost like they didn't want to upset whoever was waiting for them.

Could it be that there was someone even more powerful already inside the café?

Her mind reeled. Who in the world could this "Jack" be-someone lan would speak of with such respect?

They stayed at their post near the entrance, lost in their imaginations, dreaming up images of the mysterious figure who had yet to appear.

Meanwhile, Myra and lan slipped into the private lounge, which was already buzzing with people.

Jack sat at the head of the table, casually chatting and laughing with a group of impeccably dressed guests.

When Myra and lan entered, Jack greeted them warmly, rising to shake their hands with a bright smile. He quickly introduced them to the others.

As the introductions unfolded, both Myra and lan found themselves stunned. They

hadn't realized just how much influence Jack truly commanded.

The investors from Chopington were just as taken aback. They had always known Jack as the

self-made founder of flaven Net a man who didn't have a strong family background but maintained a notably close relationship with Alnewgo's mayor. That alone had

earned him their respect.

Now, they saw the general's son and the Tarthy City's Liaison Officer Chief's

daughter greeting Jack with such respect. Both of them could stand on equal footing with Gerard.

With such powerful connections,

Jack's position was unbeatable. The

investors from Chopington couldn't help but regard him with even greater respect. Their tone grew noticeably more cautious, fully aware that a single misstep could carry serious consequences.

Meanwhile, Myra and lan were equally taken aback. It wasn't just that Jack was on familiar terms with someone like Frank. What truly stunned them was that the leading figures of Chopington's financial elite were Jack's distinguished guests. Moreover, they showed genuine respect toward Jack. This overturned everything they thought they knew about him.
