Chapter 304
"Giselle, you must understand that respect is mutual.There's no reason to be polite if the host doesn’t
treat us as valued guests."
Lily found the environment uncomfortable.She would have left long ago if she were not here as
Rebirth's representative.
"Still..."
Giselle wanted to continue, but someone interjected, "I'm sorry.The two of you mentioned something
about the host not respecting their guests.Am I right?"
The two turned their heads simultaneously and saw an older man.
The man sported a head of silver hair, but he took good care of his skin, so he did not look his age.He
gave off a sophisticated vibe as he directed his inquiry at Lily and Giselle.
Giselle recognized the older man at a glance—Wesley Parker.She drew a sharp breath and blurted,
"M-My apologies, Mr.Parker.That wasn't what we meant..."
"Are you saying I misheard you?"
Wesley touched his earlobe and said, "I think my hearing is fine, though."
"Mr.Parker, you're mistaken."
Giselle tried to explain, but Lily stopped her.
"Your hearing is fine, and you heard it right.That's what I meant to say.The host does not respect all of
their guests and is biased toward some.That's what I think."
Upon hearing that, Giselle widened her eyes.She did not expect Lily to be so bold.
'Does she even know who Mr.Parker is?!'
"Mr..."
Giselle tried to salvage the situation, but Wesley was not giving her a chance to do so anymore.
Wesley looked at Lily, his eyes narrowing as he said, "Really? Please enlighten me.I'd like to know
what made you think that way."
"Lily? Lily,"
Giselle whispered her name, hoping to stop her.It probably would change nothing, but it was worth a
try.
Finally, she heard those words that made her break down.
Lily looked at the silver-haired older man before her.He had a unique demeanor.
Although he sounded friendly, his tone revealed a hint of superiority.
Clearly, Wesley disapproved of Lily’s viewpoint and was unhappy to hear it because his questioning
sounded more like an interrogation.
"The event organizer was the one who hosted this so-called welcome dinner and invited everyone
over.However, they did not allocate any personnel here to escort us in.I've been here almost an hour
but have met none of the organizing committee members.Their voices attracted the crowd’s attention
and gathered around the trio.
"I believe it's fair that the event organizer sent invitations to all the participants.However, I heard that
the person in charge went to welcome a more important guest, and that's why they're not here.How's
that fair to the rest of us?"
Lily felt the organizer should not have ignored all the other guests, even if they needed to entertain
other guests who were more important.
They simply did not care about the rest.
In reality, Lily's comments reflected the feelings of some guests who were too hesitant to speak up.No
one was willing to be the person who called out the event organizer.
Among the crowd were Frank and Melanie, who came after hearing about the commotion.
They stood at the outermost layer of the crowd circle and coldly watched on.
Frank sneered and said faintly, "She's such an idi*t! Things are about to get interesting."
Melanie was puzzled.
"What do you mean?"
