Meet My Protective Brothers Chapter 730

Sharon addressed Katie, "How come 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 available 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 place, feeling utterly embarrassed.

Shelly clicked her tongue in disapproval. "Luna, if you end up without a seat later, 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 glanced at Luna as she inquired, "Miss, do you have a Vior membership card?"

Flushed with embarrassment, Luna quickly responded in a subdued voice, "No."

Katie felt slightly awkward as she said, "Miss, based on the regulations, 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 the latest dress from Vior, but you're not a member. Did you perhaps borrow this outfit?"

Mia couldn't resist stealing a curious glance at Luna. Indeed, Luna was adorned in the latest Vior dress, perfectly complementing her cunning demeanor.

Shelly seemed to have hit the mark. Had Luna borrowed the dress?

After all, only Vior members had access 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 labels.

"However, since I'm accompanying 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."

Shelly 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 façade of nobility!"

Shelly candidly exposed Luna's true character.

Luna 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 available over there. Allow me to escort you."
