"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 should invite a lady to dance. That guy from Huaxia has no sense of gentlemanly conduct at all. How could Miss Monroe Lily possibly take a liking to him? Just look at how casually he's dressed; there's no way he should be 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 discussion, filled with frustration and dissatisfaction. Even Count Smithan's expression showed signs of unease.
These arrogant British nobles inherently believed themselves to be superior, after all, they were once part of the empire on which the sun never set.
"Count Smithan, what's going on? Your daughter seems interested in that Hua Xia young man? Who is he?" 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 not on the guest list waltz in here so brazenly?" Mengli Delson said icily.
She had come tonight partly to give Count Smithan face since they were old acquaintances, but mainly to ensure her grandson Bowen became Monroe's dance partner. Now that Monroe was considering a Huaxia person as her partner, the doting grandmother couldn't accept it; 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 the ball; it seems he doesn't take this event seriously at all. I'll go chase him away."
With that, Bowen Delson strode towards Jiang Chen, already shouting before he arrived, "Miss Ni, I only allowed you to come tonight; I didn't invite you to 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 nervously, knowing they had no invitation.
"Then hurry up and get lost; you're just an eyesore here," Bowen Delson scolded in a low voice.
Ni Xingyi nodded submissively, her mind racing with one thought: to leave this troublesome place as quickly as possible. She grabbed Jiang Lu and Qin Xuasha and started to head out.
"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 towards 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, having these Huaxia people here will only be a nuisance; why keep them?" Bowen Delson said discontentedly.
"He is the dance partner I've chosen, so of course 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 fumed, furious that Jiang Chen had stolen his thunder.
"Mr. Bowie, please have some self-respect. I don't need your interference in choosing my dance partner," Monroe said.
