Nerissa snorted inwardly at their apparent snobbery, determined not to let it dampen her spirits. She glanced back at the entrance, where Beryl, Zhaogu, and Haitao were guiding the guests, their energy vibrant and welcoming.
Old Master Yang and the Old Madam became the main guests of honor and were tasked with cutting the ribbon.
