Mr. Harper, who was entertaining the guests, suddenly received a call from a security guard stationed outside.
“Boss, someone from the military is here. He doesn’t have an invitation card, but he seems to have a rather high position in the military, and he made an imposing appearance. Should we let him in?”
Mr. Harper was puzzled. “Someone from the military? But we didn’t send out any invitation cards to people with military backgrounds. What’s his name?”
The security guard replied, “He said that his name is Joel Fletcher.”
Richard, who overheard the name, was shocked. He immediately put down the champagne in his hand and dashed out to greet him.
After a while, Richard was seen humbly and respectfully attending to an incredibly good-looking man in military uniform.
Joel’s presence stirred up a rather large commotion at the scene, especially among the students of Bayside University.
“Oh, my! I-It’s the General!”
“Is this a sign that the Harper Family is doing exceptionally well? They actually managed to invite the General to attend this event!”
“Who’s Joel? Is he someone powerful?”
“He’s the first legitimate successor of the Fletcher Family, and he’s also the youngest Senior Colonel in our country. If nothing unexpected happens, he’s going to be the youngest Major General very soon!”
“Why would Joel come to this place? Could it be that he has some kind of relationship with the Harper Family?”
The unexpected appearance of Young Master Fletcher instantly raised the quality and level of the Harpers’ banquet sky-high.
Joel instantaneously became the center of attention of the banquet upon appearing. Everyone wished to build a connection with him. Though Richard had no idea why Joel was here, his presence today was a great honor to the Harper Family.
