Was Vespera insane? Even if they won, they didn't have to be so smug about it!
Belinda and Vespera weren't willing to compromise. Then, Belinda forced out a smile and said, "If Mr. Reid has something to say, of course I'm all ears."
Belinda turned toward Dominic. With his legs crossed, Dominic seemed carefree. He looked charming. He smiled and said, "Let Ms. Gildon speak for me."
Without missing a beat, Vespera said, "Gladly."
She smiled brightly as her gaze swept across the guests before settling on Belinda. She said, "First, we would like to thank the association for their generosity.
"Second, as the new owner of the island and the castle, there will be a few updates to the sleeping arrangements tonight.
"The new owner will be taking the master bedroom on the third floor. As for Ms. Belinda, since you have enjoyed surprising your guests so much, we thought we would return the favor. You'll be staying in a guest room on the second floor.
"By the way, the wind gets really intense at night. You might be scared of staying there alone. So, we have decided you can pick ten men to accompany you."
Belinda gritted her teeth out of anger. Meanwhile, the guests thought it was brutal.
Vespera stared at Belinda for a few seconds before turning back to the crowd and saying, "The rooms on the third floor are spacious as well. Feel free to move to the third floor."
After Vespera finished speaking, the hall fell dead silent. Dominic got up and walked over to Vespera's side. He tapped her lightly on the nose and said, "Don't bother being generous to cowards."
The guests thought, "Was that aimed at us?"
"Good night, everyone. See you tomorrow," said Dominic with a smile.
With that, Dominic headed for the stairs, casually taking Vespera's hand as he passed. His actions were natural.
