Feeling her pride wounded, Shelly swiftly responded, "Mia, you don't know the whole story. My relationship with Luna was quite cordial before.
"It was your interference and attempts to sow discord between us that led to our current situation. Now that we've seen through your manipulations, it's only natural for us to stand together against you." Shelly now understood that if she wanted to establish herself in Nord City, she could only rely on her own efforts.

If Shelly hoped to secure a prosperous match in Nord City, she had to carve out her own path.
Indeed, she had little confidence that Timothy would offer any assistance.
Observing Shelly's unyielding demeanor, Mia decided to refrain from further discussion.
Instead, she turned her attention to Luna. "Ms. Maynard, have you decided when you'll inform the staff of your departure? They can promptly handle the necessary arrangements for you.
"It would be prudent to act now, while the guests have yet to arrive. There's still tto secure an alternative venue. We wouldn't want Asher's birthday celebration to encounter any disruptions, would we?" Luna was immediately incensed, gritting her teeth in frustration. Her initial aim had been to provoke Mia, but she hadn't anticipated Mia's bold response.

But how could Luna possibly change venues for the banquet at such short notice? Standing nearby, Shelly wore a surprised expression. "Luna, are you seriously considering changing hotels? Countin I'm with you. There are plenty of hotels out there, not just Aide Castle Hotel.
"I can't stand the arrogance of certain individuals who think they're better than everyone else. It's just a hotel business, after all. What's there to be so arrogant about?" Mia glanced over with a knowing smile. "Well, well, it seems that speople have conveniently forgotten how they used to brag about their partnership with Aide Castle Hotel in front of me.
"Not to mention shamelessly seeking help in organizing events. Do the Barretts all suffer from selective memory loss? Forgetting things quite quickly, aren't we?" Instantly, the atmosphere grew awkward.
Feeling embarrassed by her previous behavior, Shelly added, honestly had no idea you were the owner of Aide Castle Hotel. If had known, I wouldn't have considered hosting any event here. "But honestly, it doesn't matter to me. Luna, let's inform the staff right away that we'll be relocating the event. Frankly, nobody here is concerned about you." With that, Shelly took hold of Luna's arm, ready to leave. However, Luna hesitated after only a few steps. What nonsense was Shelly spouting? In reality, Luna wasn't eager to change the venue for the banquet. After all, hosting an event at Aide Castle Hotel in Nord City would set garner recognition from the entire upper echelon of society, making it a great opportunity for Asher How could Luna possibly hinder Asher's entry into high society? With a smirk, Mia glanced over and remarked, "Is there anything else Ms. Maynard needs clarification on? The check-out procedure is quite straightforward; there's no need to worry." "Who said anything about leaving?" Luna reluctantly conceded, "Honestly, Ms. Lane, I was just teasing you earlier. You didn't take it seriously, did you?" "I apologize, but I have a tendency to approach things with a serious mindset. Ms. Maynard, I hope you will refrain from making jokes lightly going forward. We wouldn't want you to risk embarrassing yourself now, would we?" Standing nearby, Shelly was visibly incensed. Rolling her eyes disdainfully, she interjected, "Luna, did you extend an invitation to Mia today?" Luna chuckled in response. "Looks like I forgot." Suddenly, a voice intervened, dispersing the tension. "What's all this talk about? Ms. Lane is a distinguished guest I personally invited."
