The banquet proceeded smoothly. People were starting to network and strengthen their relationships. They had come to celebrate Jack's birthday, but they were also looking to secure future benefits.
As the evening approached, they had done what they came for, exchanged gifts, and even indulged in a bit of one-upmanship while doing so.
The banquet was drawing to a close, and some guests had already prepared to leave. Suddenly, they heard a commotion outside. It sounded like an argument.
Jack furrowed his brows, a little irritated. "What's happening outside?"
Elizabeth knew the situation outside best but pretended not to understand. "I don't know. Maybe someone is causing trouble."
Just as she said that, a woman dressed almost identically to Martina appeared in front of the guests. She was accompanied by several burly bodyguards who had their eyes fixed firmly on Martina.
