The autograph requests came in all bizarre forms. Many women had discreetly scribbled their social media handles or phone numbers alongside their requests, while others had left bolder notes expressing their admiration for Jack.
These things didn't matter to Jack, though.
Galileo couldn't resist rushing over and grabbed Tatiana's arm. "Tianna, Greta is calling for you! Cecilia just brought back perfumes from Fleny. Come and take a look."
Tatiana shook him off and hissed, "Let go, Galileo. What's wrong with you?"
When she refused to move, Galileo turned his anger toward Jack. "Back off, country bumpkin! Stop polluting Tatiana with your peasant ways. Get out! You can't stay in the backyard."
Behind them, Knox and his entourage of spoiled socialites snickered. After all, mocking someone like Jack was just idle entertainment to them.
Tatiana was angered by Galileo. "How dare you speak to Jack that way! I'm telling my brother about this!"
Unfortunately, Maverick, the leader of the younger generation, had been summoned inside by Vincent for a lecture. Hence, there was no one around to stop the fight.
Just then, a petite lady darted forward and seized Tatiana's hand. "Come on. Leave the guys to their nonsense. Let's go chat with the other ladies!"
The group of ladies was bored and curious, eager to see how Jack would deal with the conflict. Since the guys were trying to make fun of him, the ladies were more than happy to sit back and enjoy the show.
