Celena looked pale when the group of people ridiculed and insulted her.
She plucked up the courage to look at everyone and said in a loud voice, "Liam said he can get the invitation, and I believe him. Also, he's not a loser. He's an outstanding man. He's not like what you guys made him out to be. The man I chose is not a useless person."
Upon saying that, she held Liam's arm tightly. She was still a little scared and was shaking a little. However, she still held back her fear and looked right at everyone in the dining room with her head held high.
The hall fell silent as soon as she said that. Then, they burst out laughing.
Their mockery and disdainful expressions made Celena take half a step back in fear. She was still holding Liam's arm tightly. The fear and delicate look in her eyes left Liam incredibly heartbroken.
Liam put his other hand over her freezing hands and smiled at her calmly. "Don't be scared. Don't worry. Trust me."
"Did I hear that right? Did Celena say that the loser is an outstanding person? What part of him is outstanding? How could she even say that?"
"Well, he is outstanding. Not everybody could just lie through their teeth like he did."
"You're right. I've heard enough jokes to last me for a year today. Not only has he grossly overestimated his abilities, but he also lied. If you really could get your hands on the invitation, I'll apologize to both of you. I would even go on my knees."
The group of people kept laughing.
Wasyl, of course, was very happy to see that. He was all high and mighty as he looked at Liam from his seat. Then, he pretended to sigh and said, "Oh, Liam. What's the use of all this? Not only are you humiliating yourself, but you're getting Celena involved as well."
