“What? I’m not allowed to attend?” George looked furious as he clenched his fists.
He had long coveted the daughter of Dorodo’s Mayor Quentin, Shania. Besides that, he had begged his father several times to arrange for him to approach Shania.
The ball was supposed to be his chance to approach Shania. He did not expect Milos to not ban him from joining!
D*mn it!
George hated Milos so much that he wanted to cut him to pieces!
Wesley gave a long sigh and said, “Who told you to make that mistake? Besides, you’ve also been involved with indecent women. Milos’s right. It’s pointless for you to attend the ball. Besides, you’d be looked down upon if anyone told Quentin and Shania about you. So forget it this time. Stay in the army base and don’t go anywhere.”
“But…”
George tried to defend himself, but Wesley chided, “No buts!”
Seeing that his father was angry, George could only bitterly shut up.
***
It was soon the day of the ball.
As night fell, the mayor of Dorodo’s mansion was ablaze with lights.
The bright hall was bustling as guests dressed to the nines chatted with each other as they held their wine glasses. One could tell that the ball’s attendees were members of Dorodo’s high society.
Mayor Quentin held hands with his daughter, Shania, as he mingled among the guests.
