The restaurant was deathly quiet.
No one imagined that Reginald Sterling, instead of backing up Dupont, would actually turn against the manager who was defending him!
But Reginald didn't care in the slightest about the reaction of the people around him.
"M-Miss Vance... my sincere and deepest apologies!" Reginald begged, his voice coming out hoarse and shaky. "Please, forgive this man's ignorance and my wife's stupidity... they don't know what they're saying! They have no idea who you are!"
The silence that fell over Xylos-Zero now was even more intense.
It was a shock that paralyzed every customer, every waiter, and above all, Mr. Dupont.
The name "Vance" echoed through the hall like a death sentence.
Dupont felt his knees go weak, his finger, which had been pointing at Isabella moments before, now trembled uncontrollably.
