The rich girls paused, turning their heads with slightly subdued arrogance.
"It's Mr. Howard!"
"Mr. Howard is here!"
Even Ellinor turned to look.
The Mr. Howard they were referring to was none other than Byran Howard, who had previously teamed up with Veronica to expose her at the gallery.
Byran was tall and slim and elegantly dressed in a white tailcoat, looking like a fine young man of noble birth.
He walked over, frowning in annoyance, "What's all the noise about? You guys are too loud!"
One of the rich girls pointed at Ellinor, "Mr. Howard, we didn't mean anything by it! There's just a poorly dressed intruder here. We thought we should ask her to leave."
"Yeah, how can we let such a person into your family's Pearl Moon? It's too classy for her!"
"Mr. Howard, you're just in time. Call the security to kick her out!"
Byran just lifted his chin and looked at them with disdain, "Who told you that if you're not dressed well, you can't come into Pearl Moon? Everyone has the freedom to dress as they like. Why are you meddling so much?"
The rich girls were taken aback. They thought they would be praised by Mr. Howard for defending Pearl Moon's honor, but instead, they were reprimanded.
"But... she really sneaked in..."
"Yeah! She doesn't even have an invitation!"
Byran dismissed this, "If she got in, that means she had the right to. Do you think Pearl Moon security is just here for show and let anyone in?"
"Uh... sorry, we overthought it."
"Yes, we have no right to interfere with Pearl Moon's affairs..."
"Mr. Howard, we're sorry we bothered you."
