Charlotte scoffed coldly. "Jonathan, when did you become so ballsy that you would accuse him of sneaking in? If my brother knows you have said something like this, what do you think he will do? I can guarantee he will plant a huge slap right here!"
When Jonathan heard this, his body shuddered uncontrollably. Clearly, Jonathan had tasted the wrath of the big guy, Neil Grant, more than once. If Neil knew how rude he had been toward Jack, the consequences would be catastrophic.
Jonathan forced out a smile that looked even worse than crying. "Char, y-you're so funny. The two of you don't seem close. I doubt that he knows Neil."
Charlotte let out a cold laugh. "We're not close, huh? Do you know that Zane also sees him as a big brother figure? Since you're bold enough to use that tone with Zane's big brother, I'm sure Zane and Neil will never let you off that easily."
Charlotte's words were like a bombshell, causing uproar amongst the crowd.
They were unsure who Zane was, but if Charlotte could name drop him so casually, he must have been no ordinary person.
Plus, Charlotte also mentioned her elder brother, who had taught Jonathan a hard lesson. Even her elder brother saw Jack as his big brother.
To those who were disrespectful to Jack earlier, this was undoubtedly the most terrifying movie they had ever been in.
Especially Jonathan, whose face was as pale as a corpse.
Although he didn't understand why Zane would regard Jack so highly, he knew pretty well of Zane's pride and Neil's ruthlessness. Since both valued Jack so highly, it was evident how much Jack meant to them.
Jonathan couldn't help but shudder. He started to stutter as he said, "Char, y-you must be joking, right?"
Thomas, Mia, and the rest had their mouths opened wide, unable to utter a single word.
Feena was equally flabbergasted. She never expected Jack, whom she grew up with and knew inside out, to have such a connection. She thought long and hard about where this woman might have met Jack.
Ryan, Amelia, and Queenie, who were behind him, were surprised by Jack's background. They had always looked down on him, yet he turned out to have such a strong and well-connected background.
Queenie's expression darkened, realizing her assessment of Jack had been off the mark. She never expected a man with such an average family background and simple clothing to have such a prominent social circle.
She shouldn't have judged a book by its cover.
