Bella Harper, having listened to so much from her position in the audience, could no longer bear to see her best friend harassed by these people.
She lifted her skirt and ran forward, berating angrily,
"You bunch of blind old fools, do you know who Aria Knight is? She's my sister-in-law. She's a member of the Harper Family yet to be officially joined by marriage. How dare you press her like this? Aren't you afraid that my brother will come back and destroy you all?"
Bella Harper was high-profile by nature; there was hardly anyone in the circle who didn't know about this major Harper Family's young mistress. Who would dare to provoke this revered figure?
She declared that Aria Knight was her future sister-in-law, which everyone half believed.
The group paused their confrontation with Aria Knight, assessing the situation.
