Chapter 637
Pax whistled before he insulted Jack, "What's wrong? Glen already told you to leave, so what are you still doing here?" Thɪs chapter is updated by f͟i͟n͟d͟n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟.net
Tony cackled in response to his words, finally feeling like he was above Jack. Everyone around them started to point at Jack while exchanging whispered words. They were treating him like a laughingstock.
Meanwhile, Charlotte's expression was steely. She was greatly upset that Jack was being mistreated, even more so than if she was the one who was the target of the mistreatment.
When the atmosphere had reached the peak of awkwardness, someone from behind the crowd shouted, "Wait!"
Jack turned around to see Leo scuttling toward them. He looked at Glen unhappily before saying, "Glen, Jack is also an important buddy of mine. We all hope that you can investigate the situation first before making a decision, just like how you would in the past.
"You shouldn't treat this matter so callously. Besides, everyone here witnessed how they were the ones who started causing trouble first."
Zane and Neil also came to stand next to Jack, making it obvious who they supported. Glen's expression twisted into one of displeasure due to the unfriendly tone Leo had used with him. He didn't used to speak like that to him in the past.
Glen took a deep breath and did his best to school his face into a neutral mask. "Leo, you should be enjoying yourself in the private room with the others! Trust me, I'll make sure to handle this issue flawlessly."
But Leo, Zane, and the others continued to stand sentinel by Jack's side. Only Mona looked a little conflicted, though she ultimately shimmied closer to Zane. Glen's composure cracked slightly when he noticed that even Mona had taken Jack's side. He hissed, "Zane!"
His voice was clearly displeased and it was obvious that he wanted Zane to side with him. He still considered himself the leader of their group while Zane, Neil, and Leo were his followers. He was still caught in the mindset where his word was absolute and no one could challenge him.
But Zane had ultimately chosen Jack. "Glen, I think you should investigate this matter further."
Charlotte nodded and added in a quiet voice, "We stand by our friend."
Compared to Glen, Jack was their real friend. Glen grinded his teeth in anger upon hearing their words. A few moments passed before a smile suddenly broke across Glen's face. "How about this then? Since he's your friend, let's get him to the security room to tidy up his clothes first!"
Glen guessed that his relationship with Zane and the others had turned a little distant since it had been years since he last interacted with them. He had no need to get into an argument with those he considered to be his followers. As for Jack, he would still be forced to leave after he was escorted to the security room.
Charlotte refused to budge on her stance. She was going to fight for Jack's innocence no matter what. "Glen, they're the ones who struck against Jack first. You should tell them to apologize to Jack!"
Leo added, "Glen, please handle this matter properly."
Zane, Neil, and Mona were also looking at Glen determinedly. Glen was momentarily stunned before his expression turned even more upset. He didn't expect that they would be so insistent on sticking their necks out for Jack's sake.
Glen had even boasted to his friends earlier that his word was law when he interacted with them. If he told Zane to go west, he wouldn't dare go east. But now his words had come back to bite him. He couldn't help but wonder what type of person was Jack Holland that would inspire Zane and the others to support him so steadfastly.
But there was one thing that Glen was certain about, if he didn't handle this matter properly, it would deal a heavy blow to his business.
Glen always put himself in a higher position of authority whenever he spoke to Zane-like an elder brother speaking to his younger brother-but if he had to arrange the guests of his banquet according to the power they wielded, Zane was most definitely the one who would come out on top.
