“Is it because we were too forward that Monroe didn't choose us as dance partners?”
“Definitely. In this day and age, you can't be a sycophant.”
“A gentleman invites a lady to dance. That Huaxia guy has no sense of gentlemanly conduct at all. How could Miss Monroe Lily possibly be interested in him? Just look at him, dressed so casually; how can he even think of dancing with Miss Monroe Lily?”
“If I had known that going against the grain would catch Miss Monroe Lily's attention, I wouldn't have been so enthusiastic just now.”
The group of noble young men erupted in heated discussions, filled with frustration and dissatisfaction. Even Count Smithan's expression showed signs of unease.
These arrogant Great Britain nobles inherently believed they were superior, after all, they once belonged to the empire on which the sun never set.
“Count Smithan, what's going on? Your daughter seems to be interested in that Huaxia young man? Who is that Huaxia young man?” Mengli Delson asked coldly.
“I don’t know. I remember that no Huaxia people were invited to this ball,” Count Smithan replied.
“Then it seems they came uninvited. Count Smithan, is the security of your castle merely for show? How can someone who wasn’t invited waltz in here so brazenly?” Mengli Delson said icily.
She had come tonight partly to give Count Smithan face, as they were old acquaintances, and partly to ensure her grandson Bowen became Monroe's dance partner. Now, Monroe was actually considering choosing a Huaxia person as her partner, which was unacceptable for the doting grandmother; she had to intervene.
Hearing his grandmother's words, Bowen Delson quickly said, “That Ni Xingyi was invited by me, but that guy—I certainly didn’t invite him. He shows up dressed like that for a ball; it’s clear he doesn’t take this event seriously. I’ll go chase him away.”
With that, Bowen Delson strode toward Jiang Chen, already shouting before he arrived, “Miss Ni, I only allowed you to come tonight; I didn’t say you could bring these people along. Now that you’ve met my grandmother, it’s time for you all to leave.”
“Mr. Bowie, we—we'll leave right away,” Ni Xingyi said awkwardly and guiltily, aware they had no invitation.
“Then hurry up and get lost; you're just an eyesore here,” Bowen Delson scolded sternly.
Ni Xingyi felt meek and only had one thought in her mind: to leave this troublesome place quickly. She grabbed Jiang Lu and Qin Xusha and started to exit.
“Wait!” Monroe suddenly spoke up. “This is my home; I allow you to stay.”
Ni Xingyi looked up at Bowen Delson and then at Monroe before finally turning her gaze to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen stood there with an indifferent expression. For some reason, seeing his calm demeanor made Ni Xingyi's restless heart settle down as well.
“Miss Monroe Lily, these Huaxia people will only be a nuisance here; why keep them?” Bowen Delson said discontentedly.
“He is the dance partner I chose, so naturally he must stay,” Monroe replied with a smile.
“If you choose him as your partner, you'll likely become a laughingstock in the future. Just look at him—anyone present tonight could outshine him,” Bowen Delson said angrily, feeling his spotlight had been stolen by Jiang Chen.
"Mr. Bowie, please have some self-respect. I don't need your interference in choosing my dance partner," Monroe said.
