This time, Arnold didn't stop his son's actions.
In the Empire of Qustia, social ranks existed since ancient times, where people had been ranked accordingly, from scholars to farmers, workers, and merchants.
Although they were now in the 21st Century, businessmen's status had grown far higher than that of mere academics. They weren't the lowly businessmen in the olden days who were regarded with contempt.
However, due to the historical influence of the official standard for thousands of years, the people of Qustia were in awe of the chief.
Therefore, Arnold knew that Kingsley was most likely the head of the Coliree Group.
Yet, in front of so many provincial and municipal leaders, he still chose to keep silent.
Eric noticed that his father didn't stop him, and he couldn't help but get even more excited!
He pointed at Kingsley and continued, "Boy! Don't pretend to be deaf! Just leave if you still want to keep your reputation intact!"
"Alas…" Kingsley sighed and placed his chopsticks down. "Is it so hard for me to have lunch?"
He stood up and walked over slowly to Walter and Loretta.
After he bowed in front of the two, he said, "Mrs. Hewitt, I did come to wish you a happy birthday and for you to live a healthy and prosperous life. Unfortunately, I rushed over and didn't have time to prepare a proper gift for you. I hope you don't mind."
"Thank you," Mrs. Hua said dotingly. "It's already a blessing that you could attend my birthday."
Kingsley smiled softly. "However, even though I didn't have enough time to prepare a birthday gift, I've invited a group of people for you!"
As soon as he said that, there were sounds of drinks being spat out.
"Pfft! Did I hear that right? Inviting other people on their birthday?! Where did he get his courage to spit those words out?!"
"Hahaha… Is there something wrong with him? He didn't invite all his seven aunts to dinner, did he?!"
"How could Mr. Maslow have such a worthless friend?! Isn't that such a slap in the face?!"
