The butler’s gaze shifted from Jenna to Gilbert, his expression one of undisguised disdain.

Then, with a marked change in demeanor, he turned to Madisyn, awaiting her instructions with respectful attentiveness.

Madisyn’s voice was calm but firm.

“People like them shouldn’t attend the banquet.

“Got it,” the butler replied without hesitation, his tone turning icy as he addressed Jenna and Gilbert.

“I’m sorry, but you should Leave now.

Jenna was taken aback, her eyes widening in disbelief.

“Excuse me? You want us to leave? We’re invited guests here! What gives a butler like you the right to tell us to leave?”

“If you don’t leave immediately, I’ll have security drag you out.

The butler’s voice cut through the air like a sharpened blade.

Authority dripped from every word, leaving no doubt that defiance would be met with swift consequences.

Gilbert’s disbelief morphed into anger.

Was this butler serious?

Since when did the servants dictate terms to guests? His eyes narrowed as he clenched Jenna’s hand, dismissing the butler’s threat with a contemptuous glare.

They were going inside, whether he liked it or not.

But before Gilbert could take another step, the butler snapped his fingers.

In an instant, a squad of burly security guards materialized, surrounding the couple on all sides, their presence as imposing as a wall.

Without a word, they seized Gilbert and Jenna, manhandling them with practiced efficiency, and unceremoniously tossed them out onto the gravel driveway.

Guests continued to arrive, their elegant attire contrasting sharply with the disheveled pair now sprawled on the ground.

Jenna’s meticulously chosen outfit was smeared with dirt, her humiliation as palpable as the dust clinging to her clothes.

The onlookers stared at them, a mix of shock and disbelief painting their faces.

“Isn’t that Gilbert from the Santos family?” one guest muttered in disbelief, his eyes widening at the sight of Gilbert being thrown out.

“And that girl-she’s Jenna from the Chapman family, right?” another whispered, equally bewildered by the scene.

“Did they somehow cross the Johns family?” A few more guests joined the hushed speculation, trying to piece together the reason for this public disgrace.

As Gilbert listened to the murmurs around him, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Desperately, he tried to salvage his dignity, turning to those who recognized him.

“It’s not what it looks like! The Johns family’s staff are completely out of Line-acting all high and mighty!”

His voice carried a mix of frustration and indignation, but to the others, his words sounded almost laughable.

How could the staff bully someone of his status? The very idea seemed preposterous.

Jenna, feeling the weight of the stares and whispers, could barely hold back her tears.

Her lower lip trembled as she looked up at Gilbert, her voice small and pitiful.

“Gilbert, this is too much! They’ve gone too far!”

Gilbert gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.

“Don’t worry, Jenna.

I’m calling my dad right now.

I’m not letting Madisyn get away with this His expression darkened as he yanked out his phone and quickly dialed, his fingers trembling with anger.

But the moment the line connected, he was met not with sympathy but with a thunderous roar.

“Gilbert, you idiot! What did you do this time?”

Gilbert’s mouth went dry, his words stumbling out in a rush.

“Dad, why are you screaming at me?”

“Why?” His father’s voice thundered through the phone, each word laced with fury.

“Dane just canceled our partnership! We didn’t have many deals with them to begin with.

Are you trying to ruin our company? I sent you to that party to represent the family, and this is what you did?” The sheer anger in his father’s voice was almost tangible, hitting Gilbert Like a physical blow.

Gilbert stood there, reeling, his mind scrambling to make sense of what had just happened.
