A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 640

The important figure was none other than Frank Grant, the mayor of Perthter City, who Jack had met once before. Gareth had found out that Frank was in the area dealing with some business and had insisted on inviting him to Glen's birthday banquet. It didn't matter if he only stopped by for a short while.

Frank's appearance caused an uproar in the banquet hall. Those who knew who he was couldn't help but let out surprised gasps. Meanwhile, Gareth was beaming at the fact that he was able to invite Frank to make an appearance at his son's birthday banquet. It would be a great honor for Glen.

Frank wasn't surprised in the slightest when he noticed Zane and the others. But what surprised everyone else the most was how Frank had ignored both Neil and Zane in favor of approaching Jack first. He greeted him warmly and asked, "Jack, my little buddy, are you having fun?"

His actions sent everyone spiraling into further chaos. They noticed that Frank had not only addressed Jack as his "little buddy", but he had also reached out both hands to shake Jack's hand. His gestures were usually reserved for esteemed guests or individuals of the same standing as him, but he had offered it to someone who was considered a junior to him.

Glen's heart hammered in his chest wildly as he wondered what was going on. Even Zane and Neil were feeling a heavy weight in their chests, not understanding why Frank was treating Jack so amicably. Only Charlotte was privy to the reasons behind Frank's actions, but even she thought that he was going a little overboard.

Frank did not share her opinion. Jack hadn't only saved his life, but he had also indirectly promoted the advancement of national diplomacy, which Frank considered to be great achievements. After shaking hands with Jack, Frank noticed that something felt off in the banquet hall. He asked, "What's going on?"

Neil explained everything that had transpired to him. After he was done, Frank nodded before directing his gaze toward Glen, who had an uncertain expression on his face. His voice was light when he said, "If that's truly the case, then you're in the wrong in this situation. As the focus of today's event, you should treat every guest with respect."

Frank's words made cold sweat run in rivulets down Glen's back. He nodded hastily before going over to Jack. He lowered his head and stuttered, "I… I'm sorry. It was… my fault earlier."
