Felipe’s words redirected everyone’s attention back to him.
Compared to Cassian, with his ordinary looks and bitter demeanor, Felipe looked even custom suit, meticulously styled from head to toe, the contrast was stark.

Next to Cassian, Felipe looked more like a valet than the guest of honor.
They were confused why the leader of the Cloudshadow Sect would have chosen someone so painfully average.
Though that thought lingered in everyone’s minds, no one dared say it aloud. After all, Felipe was the future son–in–law of the Cloudshadow Sect, and these people were eager to curry favor, not make enemies.
“Mr. Cherry, we’ve been waiting forever for you to arrive!”
The crowd of rich heirs immediately swarmed him with dazzling smiles. They were quick to flatter him and to trample on Cassian in the process.
“This lowborn really doesn’t know his place. He did not open the door for you or carry your things. He even swaggered in ahead of you! Does he think he’s the protagonist here?”
“Exactly. It’s all his fault we mistook him for you, Mr. Cherry!”
“It was a misunderstanding, please don’t take offense.”
“I’ll admit, the lowborn looked decent when standing alone, but next to you? The difference is obvious. No matter how he dresses, lowborns are still lowborns. They just can’t compare in looks or class!”
Cassian glanced at them coldly, indifferent to their attempts at mockery. These people didn’t matter. The only thing on his mind was Raven’s
whereabouts.
But Felipe relished the attention. Watching them fawn over him made him feel completely at ease. With growing arrogance, he lifted his chin proudly and began reprimanding Cassian with smug superiority.
He said, “Cassian, this is Forreb, not the lower realm you crawled out of!
“I warned you before. You’re in Forreb now, and you’d better start acting like it. Every move you make reflects on the Cherry family. If you humiliate yourself, you humiliate all of us. Are my words just noise to you?”
He added, “You couldn’t even be bothered to hold the door for me, and then you strutted in ahead of your betters? I demand that you apologize. Now!”
The crowd instantly caught on to Cassian’s status in the Cherry family.
Sensing an opportunity to score points with Felipe, several of them ramped up their jeers. “Lowborn, apologize already!”
“Mr. Cherry is right. In Forreb, you follow Forrebian rules!”
“You should be behind him at all times, open doors, carry his bags!”
“A grown man who can’t follow basic etiquette? I think you’re doing this on purpose. Are you trying to replace Mr. Cherry?”
But Cassian ignored their noise. He turned his gaze to Felipe, his voice low and sharp.
He said, “I came with you to this party. So when are you going to call your Cloudshadow Sect fiancée and ask her about Raven’s situation at the Inspection Bureau?”
“Raven?”

“The Inspection Bureau?”
The crowd fell into a puzzled silence, looking from Cassian to Felipe.
Felipe, however, remained smug. He sneered as he replied, “Don’t waste your breath over that filthy woman who smuggled herself in from the town realm. You think her kind is worth my calling my fiancée?”
