Looking at the Everers, whose status in Norburgh was far lower than that of the Gastells, the whole family, including the elders and children, had shown up at the bangart.

Il people hadn't known better, they would have thought that the Everetts must have gone bankrupt and couldn't afford to eat, forcing them to freeload at other people's banquets.

People thought the Everetts didn't understand the basic etiquette and manners required to attend someone else's banquet. They felt that the Everetts didn't deserve to cozy up to the Ludens. They figured that the Everetts were just waiting to be the entire city's laughingstock.

"The number of people attending the Everetts annual banquet has nothing to do with the Gaskells, right? Mrs. Gaskell, aren't you overstepping your boundaries?" Hera asked while wearing a faint smile.

Queenie speered at the mention of the Everett's annual banquet.

"Are you still half asleep and confused? This is the Gastells' annual banquet!" "I think you're the one confused, Mrs. Gaskell," Hera said, glancing at the sign at the ball entrance.

"If you can't read the words clearly, you might want to wear your reading glasses and take a good look.” Everyone turned to look at the sign with "Sedna's Annual Banquet written in large characters.

Sedna was Gideon's subsidiary company In the country Queenie and Terence's expressions changed tically. They had been busy greeting guests and hadn't noticed the sign. At this point, they c tell if the sign had been swapped or if it had always been there.

Queenie's face darkened Making such a basic mistake was incredibly embarrassing.

couldn't "Oh dear, the words are so large. Can't you see them, Mrs. Gaskell? Even an old lady likecan clearly see the words 'Sodna's Annual Banquet from here. Are you sure your eyes are okay? Do you need to see a doctor?" Mildred asked exaggeratedly "Grandma, my teacher says pointing out others' shortcomings in public is rude. It will make them feel embarrassed.

Hera thought, “This is just a little bit of fun. Why are you all so happy?" Christopher fell slightly pleased when he saw the sign. It turned out that Hera didn't change the venue without informing him..

"Didn't you say this venue was booked by the Gaskells? He glared coldly at Queenie, speaking bluntly. He had to speak up for Hera "So, we didn't get the venue wrong How could Mrs. Gaskell say that? Alice also supported her son After that, she gave Hera a reassuring look, implying that they had her back "This is ridiculous!" Even Andrew spoke up.

Hera suddenly found them endearing.

"was just wondering why the Gaskells were behaving like hosts at the Everetts banquer" "I thought the Gaskells had fallen so low they had to becthe Everents' servants.” "Queenie had just said that the venue was hers. This is so embarrassing."

"I heard Queenie and Mr. Gideon were competing for this venue, When she couldn't get it, she forcibly took over." it's How arrepent."

"She's been overbearing in Norburgh for a long time. It's ap ime. It's a pity that then Everetts had to deal with her." "Isn't there anyone to put her in her place?" Guests in the banquet hall whispered and discussed among themselves This p spublic
