Sharon addressed Katie, “Howe there’s only one seat? She came with me.”
“I apologize, Mrs. Barrett. Nearly all the guests have arrived today, and there are no spare seats. If you
request two invitations in advance next time, we’ll reserve two seats in the center for you.”
Katie responded tactfully, leaving Sharon with no room to object. She could. only concede, “Then
please check for any avable seats nearby and arrange one for her.”
“Of course, that’s not a problem.”
Rising from her seat, Sharon headed directly toward the center seats opposite.
Meanwhile, Luna remained standing in ce, feeling utterly embarrassed.

Shelly clicked her tongue in disapproval. “Luna, if you end up without a seat
would you like to share with me?”
Who allowed Luna, this bitch, to be so arrogant just now?
Luna’s expression darkened, and she clutched her handbag tightly. “No, thank you.”
Katie nced at Luna as she inquired, “Miss, do you have a Vior membership card?”
Flushed with embarrassment, Luna quickly responded in a subdued voice,
No.”
Π
Katie felt slightly awkward as she said, “Miss, based on the regtions, as a non–member, you’re not
permitted to attend this show.”
Instantly, Luna’s face drained of color. She had never felt so humiliated in
her life.
“Luna, you’re wearing thetest dress from Vior, but you’re not a member. Did you perhaps borrow this
outfit?”
Mia couldn’t resist stealing a curious nce at Luna. Indeed, Luna was adorned in thetest Vior
dress, perfectlyplementing her cunning
demeanor.
Shelly seemed to have hit the mark. Had Luna borrowed the dress?
After all, only Vior members had ess to Vior products!
Taking a deep breath, Luna responded, “Shelly, it’s true that I’m not as affluent as the rest of you. I
usually don’t pay much attention to designer
“However, since I’m apanying Mrs. Barrett here, my friend was concerned that I might face
judgment.
“That’s why they lent me this dress. But it’s just a garment. Whether it’s designer or not, it doesn’t hold
much significance to me.”
lly was left momentarily speechless by Luna’s retort. However, deep down, a hint of unease gnawed at
her, as if she had been slighted.
Mia’s lips curled into a cold smile as she spoke, “Ms. Maynard, it seems. your words don’t align with
your actions.
“If you truly don’t care about brands, why did you choose to wear your friend’s dress? You could have
declined, but you chose to wear it, didn’t you?
Shelly quickly caught on, “Exactly. When we were searching for seats.
earlier, Luna, you came off as rather arrogant, didn’t you?
“You even ridiculed Monalize for her inexperience in attending shows and
understanding the protocols here.
“Aren’t you someone who doesn’t prioritize money? Why the sudden
change in attitude now?”
Keeping her anger in check, Luna calmly responded, “You’re entitled to your opinions.”
Mia’s smile widened, “Shelly, did you notice that? Perhaps we should learn a thing or two from Ms.
Maynard about being thrifty. Despite the obvious wear and tear, she’s still strutting around in that
designer dress.”
Mia couldn’t bear Luna’s act of pretending not to care about money, especially when it was obvious that
Luna was materialistic.
Had Luna shown more openness and generosity, Mia might have viewed her differently. However, due
to Luna’s current behavior, Mia saw her as hypocritical and pretentious.
“She’s just too financially strapped to afford new clothes, yet she acts all superior. If she’s truly capable,
why doesn’t she just part ways with the Barrett family? She remains for financial reasons but puts on a
fa?ade of nobility!”
Shelly candidly exposed Luna’s true character.
quivered with anger, sensing the judgmental stares of those around her, seemingly ridiculing her.
To alleviate the tension, Katie promptly turned to Luna and said, “Miss, as a friend of Mrs. Barrett,
there’s another seat avable over there. Allow me to
escort you.”
