No! Jason could not afford to lose face to Joe.
Jason suppressed the frustration that he was feeling as he continued speaking to the security guards in a gentle tone. “Brother, I am also a car enthusiast and I own this exhibition hall. Just allow me to step in and take a closer look at the cars for a brief moment. I promise that I will definitely treat you well in the future.”
The security guard was a veteran soldier with an upright personality. Therefore, he declined Jason’s request without any hesitation at all. “Sir, I am just going to repeat myself one last time. If you are not the owner of these cars, you are not allowed to approach or get closer to these two cars!”
When Jason saw that the other party was refusing to give him any face at all, he was extremely angry and annoyed. Gritting his teeth angrily, he threatened the other party. “Do you know that my family owns this exhibition center? You are just a security guard, but you actually dare to go against me? Do you want me to get you fired immediately?”
The guard replied, “I am sorry, but I am a security guard working for a security company. I am not a security guard working for the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center. Even if you are the boss of this exhibition center, you have no right to control or fire me at all!”
“You!” Jason was very embarrassed at this time. “You are ridiculous!”
After that, Jason yelled, “Do you believe that I can chase you out of my exhibition center right now?!”
The other party looked at Jason with a blank expression on his face as he said, “We have already signed a contract with the management team of Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center because we are renting this spot in your convention center today. So, you have completely no right to chase me out of the exhibition center. Moreover, my job is to protect the safety of this car. If you have any other questions or opinions, please do not hesitate to contact my boss directly.”
Joe walked up to Jason, smiling before he asked, “Oh, Mr. Grant, what is the matter? Are you so furious because the security guards refuse to allow you to get closer so that you can touch the cars? It seems like we are the same after all!”
Jason glared at Joe and glanced at Claire with an embarrassed look on his face.
He had been bragging earlier, but it seemed as though the security guard refused to give him any face at all. He really could not touch the two cars even though he really wanted to prove that he could do so. This was such a shame!
When Jessica saw the frustrated expression on Jason’s face, she quickly said to Joe, “You are nothing but a peasant, so who are you to compare yourself to Mr. Grant? Do you believe that I will ask the security guards to chase you out of the exhibition hall right this instant?”
Just then, a reporter stepped forward with a camera in his hand and said, “Brother, the security guards already told you that you are not allowed to touch the cars. So, please stop causing a scene here. You are blocking all of us, and we cannot take any good pictures of the cars at all.”
The crowd of people also echoed, “Exactly! Why are you so desperate to touch the cars? Just take a look at it from afar!”
“He must be one of those vain people who want to touch the car and take a picture of himself touching the car to post it on his social media account!”
The expression on Jason’s face was very ugly at this time. If he was not allowed to touch the cars, wouldn’t he be the same as Joe?
As he thought about this, the expression on his face darkened as he approached the security guard once again. “I am giving you thirty seconds to move away. If you still try to block my way, I will chase all of you and these luxury cars out of my exhibition hall immediately! Let me see how you are going to proceed with the auto show, then!”
At this time, a manager dressed in a suit hurried over as soon as he heard the commotion.
There was a group of sturdy and muscular bodyguards following closely behind him.
“What is happening? Who is causing a commotion here?”
When Jason saw the manager, he asked him arrogantly, “Are you the person-in-charge?”
“Yes.” The man nodded before he continued speaking, “I am the executive manager of the auto show exhibition. My name is Luke Marshall. You are?”
Jason snorted before he said, “I am Jason Grant, the owner of the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center!”
Luke nodded slightly before he replied, “So, you are Mr. Grant. What is the matter?”
Jason spoke to him coldly, “Your subordinates are truly very incapable! I want to go up to the platform so that I can take a closer look at the cars, but he refused to let me do so. What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?”
Luke smiled before he replied, “Sorry, Mr. Grant, but these two cars have already been bought by a customer. We are just waiting for the customer to pick up the cars. Since these two cars are so rare and expensive, we cannot allow just anyone to touch the cars if they are not the owner.”
Jason frowned before he said, “Does that mean you are not going to give me face as well?”
“I am really sorry, Mr. Grant,” Luke replied immediately. “I cannot give face to anyone on this matter. We have received very specific instructions that no one is allowed to touch those two cars as long as they are not the owner of the cars.”
Jason was extremely furious. He could not believe that Luke would turn down his request in front of so many people, especially since Claire was also here right now!
He was furious!
Well, they could not blame him for going crazy, then!
Jason shouted angrily, “Okay! Since you are so powerful, I believe that our small exhibition center is too small to accommodate you. Please take all your cars and leave the exhibition hall immediately!”
Luke replied, “Mr. Grant, don’t you think that this is too much? We have already signed the contract, and we have already paid upfront for the rental of this exhibition hall. Do you really want to breach the contract?”
“So what if I choose to breach the contract?” Jason replied in annoyance. “I would rather pay you the liquidated damages as long as I can get rid of you immediately!”
At this time, Jessica hurriedly persuaded Jason in a low voice, “Mr. Grant, if we breach the contract, we will have to pay three times the amount that the other party has paid for the rental of the exhibition hall. If the chairman finds out about this matter, he will surely be angry…”
Jason was stunned again.
Joe laughed as he said, “Mr. Grant, do you mean to tell me that someone of your status cannot even touch those two cars at all? Is it honestly that difficult for you to touch the cars? To think that you are the general manager of the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center! This is such a shame!”
Jason replied angrily, “Who said that I cannot touch those cars?!”
After he was done speaking, Jason turned around and pushed Luke aside before saying, “I will touch those two cars today no matter what happens! If you do not want to cause any trouble, you’d better stand aside. Otherwise, I will definitely teach you a lesson!”
Luke was very anxious when he saw Jason rushing toward the limited edition Aston Martin ONE-77. He hurriedly called for the security guards to stop him.
Jason did not expect that the security guards would really try to stop him. Therefore, he yelled out loudly, “I want all the security guards in the exhibition center to come over to me now!”
Even though the security guards who were guarding the cars were hired from an external party, there were a lot of security guards working for the exhibition center itself. Who was afraid of whom?!
When Luke saw the security guards working for the exhibition center running toward them, he called Graham immediately because he was afraid that there would be a conflict.
