But just then, Butler Dayne burst into the tea room, panting. "Stop immediately! She’s an honored guest!"
Arabelle smiled sweetly and stepped forward. "Butler Dayne, you’re here. Please, take us inside."
But to everyone’s surprise, Butler Dayne walked right past her and came directly to me.
"Let go. All of you, let her go!"
The bodyguards released me at once. Butler Dayne bowed respectfully.
"Miss Liora, please come with me. Mrs. Montgomery wishes to see you."
The entire room fell into stunned silence.
Jaxon quickly pulled Arabelle aside and questioned, "Are you sure you’re not mistaken? This is Arabelle."
The maid hurried to add, "Yes, yes! Butler Dayne, maybe you got the names confused?"
Butler Dayne cast her a cold glance. "You’re fired. You don’t even know who the true honored guest of the Montgomery family is." Without sparing them another look, he turned and led me away.
I felt dazed. It was the first time in this world someone had shown me such dignity.
"This, how could this be possible? She’s just a housewife…" Arabelle’s stunned murmur echoed behind me.
Right in front of Jaxon and Arabelle, I followed Butler Dayne and walked out first.
