Chapter 263
That was it. Suddenly, there was a deafening silence as everyone gaped in bewilderment.
Not only were Benedict and his family stunned, but the group of people Glen brought along was equally shocked. Why is the mayor being so respectful toward the youngster? This is unbelievable!
Tommy couldn’t help but giggle silently as he swept a glance at everyone in the room.
The entourage of officials following Glen quickly came back to their senses. There must be a reason why Mr. Lowe is so respectful toward the young man! Perhaps he’s the son of someone important!

Unfortunately for him, Benedict was in no state to give him an answer. By then, he couldn’t possibly tell Devin that Jared was merely an ex-convict, and he wasn’t anyone worth mentioning.

“I didn’t even get a sip of it. Someone told me it was meant for them. Hence, I wasn’t allowed to drink it!” Jared was staring sinisterly at Simon when he said that.
