Chapter 728

Sharon couldn’t help but sneer, “You’re just pretending to be high–class, yet here you are embarrassing

yourself at a fashion show. The truth has been revealed, hasn’t it?”

Mia handed the invitations to Tina and responded calmly, “Don’t you know that these two seats are

specially reserved for today? How can you randomly assign seating like this?”

Tina glanced at the invitations, her expression shifting immediately. She promptly apologized, “I’m sorry

for the confusion. Since the two of you hadn’t arrived for some time, we assumed you might not be

attending, leading to this mistake.”

Mia smirked and asserted, “But I’m here now, so please make way for me to

take these seats.”

“Of course, right away.”

na approached Sharon with a nervous demeanor and conveyed, “I apologize, Mrs. Barrett, but these

two seats were reserved in advance.”

“Don’t you know who I am? I’m Mrs. Barrett! How dare you suggest that I give up my seat?

Luna’s expression darkened as she sternly addressed Tina, “Exactly. Mrs. Barrett is a respected guest

who is accustomed to occupying the center seat.

“It’s obvious that you’ve messed up the seat assignments. Shouldn’t we be following the ‘first–come,

first–served‘ principle here?”

Even if Monalize had pre–booked the seats, she still needed to adhere to the principle of seating based

on arrival order.

Tina promptly apologized, saying, “I’m truly sorry for the confusion. However, considering Ms.

Monalize’s VIP status with Vior, she is entitled to

reserve her seat.”

Upon hearing the term “VIP,” Sharon suddenly remembered that Monalize was a VIP member of Vior.

As Sharon observed Monalize’s features, which bore a striking resemblance to Mia’s, she was abruptly

reminded of a time four years ago when Mia’s family had arrogantly flaunted their VIP membership

card.

Sharon couldn’t help but feel uneasy at the memory. Was possessing a VIP membership card really

that impressive?

Observing the situation at a standstill, Katie Turner, the event manager, hurried over and apologized,

saying, “I’m sincerely sorry. It appears that our staff have caused significant inconvenience to our VIP

guests.”

Shelly boasted, “But we’re VIP members. According to Vior’s rules, we’re entitled to priority treatment.

How do you intend to resolve this? Surely you can’t expect VIP guests to sit in those adjacent seats,

can you?”

Nonetheless, Luna refused to back down. Why should Monalize, simply due to her VIP status, claim

her seat?

Addressing Katie, Luna asserted, “This isn’t our fault; it’s your staff’s error. You can’t hold us

accountable for it.

“Are you deliberately trying to drive away the mother of the Barrett Group’s CEO? You wouldn’t want to

go out of business in Bern City, would you?”

Katie nodded in agreement. “This young lady is correct. Fortunately, I’ve just freed up a seat in the

center over there.

“Mrs. Barrett, that’s where you typically prefer to sit, and some of your old acquaintances are already

there.”

Despite her initial resistance, Sharon had little choice but to comply. She didn’t want to face

embarrassment, especially since she wasn’t a VIP

member.

With reluctance, Sharon conceded, “Very well, sitting here isn’t all that important anyway. I’ll go catch

up with some old friends.”

At that instant, Shelly glanced at Luna and mocked, “Oh, my, there’s only one seat left in the middle

over there; it’s barely enough for one person. Why don’t you squeeze in with Aunt Sharon?”

Luna’s expression immediately stiffened, a flicker of discomfort crossing her eyes. She could only turn

to Sharon, seeking assistance.
