Shelly huffed. "What did you mean by that? Are you looking down on us? You're talking as if we're desperate to hold a party at your place." Timothy piped up, "What rights do you have to say that? A good-for-nothing like you who only knows how to live off the family shouldn't say something like that." "Tim, how could you say that toin public?"

Raymond chided, "Luna, apologize to Ms. Lane now. You shouldn't have said anything mindlessly u didn't know better. People with think badly of us." "I didn't say that alone though." She was reluctant to apologize too.
He stepped forward and whispered into apolar. "You can choose not to apologize, but you won't be considered as one of us amo "But what about Asher?" "Take him with you!" Only then did she grasp the gravity of the situation.
