Conrad scoffed. "Everyone in Seechertown knows better than to mess with me. You entered a private room and intruded on my night out, and now you're trying to leave with one of my friends. Who the hell do you think you are?"
Whitney said, "Just tell him to leave, Shelby. Don't make this difficult for us."
She had been friends with Conrad for about half a year now. He was a generous man, with friends who were just as wealthy as he was.
Whitney had received quite a few gifts from Conrad, even in the form of cold, hard cash.
She knew what Conrad was trying to do, and had thus kept him at arm's length while maintaining a close enough friendship with him. Whitney was certain that all she had to do was figure out what Conrad liked and kept him happy, and she would be set for the rest of her life.
Thus, she did not want Wilbur to get on Conrad's bad side.
A wealthy young man like this was not to be messed with.
Whitney thought that it was not worth it for Wilbur to offend Conrad, and even felt like Shelby was kind of dumb.
There was nothing wrong with hanging around rich people. Why did Wilbur have to be a wet blanket? What an idiot that man was!
However, Shelby shook her head. "No. I'll be leaving with Wilbur. Have fun, you guys."
She turned to leave, with Wilbur following behind her.
Cameron got up in a fit of fury as he shouted, "I'll change my family name if you can get out of this room alive tonight, Penn."
"What are you doing?" Shelby exclaimed.
Howie sneered as well. "You refused to play nice, so we don't have to play nice either. You can leave, but this guy's staying."
Wilbur smiled. "Sure. You can head back first, Shelby. I'll handle it from here."
