I'm going too.
“And me too! I also want to meet Mr. Lowe, who's famed to be impartial!”
Stella and Gianna quickly chimed in about tagging along.
“Sure, let's go together!” Simon waved his hand as he spoke.
Just as Benedict and his family were about to head out to meet Glen, Simon suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to Jared. “Didn't you say you've eaten at Mr. Lowe's house before? Since we're heading up to give him a toast now, do you also want to follow us?”
As soon as Simon's words fell, Benedict and his family turned and threw Jared mocking looks. They believed he would not dare to follow along since that was equivalent to exposing his own lie.
Indeed, Jared shook his head without hesitation. He then added, “He should be the one offering me a toast instead!”
The crowd was slightly shocked at first, but a peal of laughter soon entailed after they recovered from their trance. “Are you still dreaming? You said Mr. Lowe should offer you a toast? Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? I'll pass your words to Mr. Lowe when I meet him and see what he'll do to you!”
Finishing his words, Simon led Benedict and the rest out of the room.
Just as they stepped out, Stella stopped and turned around. “We might stay to have lunch with Mr. Lowe after offering him a toast. Go ahead and pay the bills later; there's no need to wait for our return. Also, those two empty wine bottles are probably worth a few hundred. Don't forget to bring them home. It'll be sufficient for you guys to last through a few days.”
With that, she chuckled and walked away.
“Jared, are you out of your mind? Why did you even say that? Aren't you just landing yourself in hot water?” Hannah looked at Jared and asked him worriedly after Benedict and his family left.
“Mom, nothing bad will happen,” Jared reassured smilingly.
Gary let out a huge sigh all of a sudden. “How much does this whole table of food cost? What do we do now?”
