His tone was filled with contempt as he spat, "Arabella, have you lost your mind?!"
"Can't you grasp how crucial this signing event is to me? I personally crafted every single invitation!"
"You have no place here!"
"Are you seriously claiming you received an invitation? Have you no decency?"
Elara chuckled mockingly, her words laced with derision:
"Hearing her, one might actually believe she was invited to this momentous occasion."
"I never imagined someone could stoop so low as to lie so brazenly in front of everyone."
Rowan scrutinized me with evident revulsion, scoffing:
"Your poverty must have driven you mad, trying to sneak in and network. Have you looked in a mirror? Your pitiful appearance makes you unfit even to polish our footwear!"
Unfazed by their jibes, I calmly produced the invitation from my purse:
"Dorian extended this invitation to me."
