“We really shouldn’t have come today. It’s a bit of a waste of time. If we had known earlier, we could have visited a few more attractions. We haven’t even had a chance to go to Starlight Avenue.”
“Well, what can we do now…”
“Wait!”
Layna’s voice came from far away inside.
Both of them turned around and saw the mentor skillfully weaving through the crowd, running towards them.
“Mr. Moray, both of these guests were invited by me. Miss Carrie Thomas even received an official invitation from the organizing committee. What do you mean by this?”
The butler, Moray, was slightly shocked, but he needed to save face. “No, they were an hour late.”
“There’s no rule saying that they can’t come in if they’re late.”

“But I think they lack basic respect for this banquet.”
“You lack basic respect for art too! This is a gathering of musicians, and both of them are top music creators from around the world! Please get your priorities straight!”
Layna was infuriated by Moray.
She already had suspicions about the two unknown stars earlier, and now the ones she invited were being stopped at the door by Butler Moray.
She felt humiliated and worried about offending Harrison Clark and Carrie Thomas. Her previous plans were in jeopardy.
So her voice gradually grew louder, and people began to gather around due to the commotion.
Moray did not expect Layna to be so persistent for the sake of two unknown UK people.
Now there was a crowd, and if he backed down, it would be an admission of his mistake and lack of professionalism.
“Miss Layna. Since you’ve also said this is a gathering of musicians and these two guests are creators, shouldn’t they respect the others at the party even more?”
“So I think they’re not qualified to enter! I’m the butler here, and I’m in charge of tonight’s party. I must consider the feelings of everyone! Even if it offends you, I must stick to my principles! Because I think he doesn’t respect music! Because he doesn’t respect everyone!”
Layna was pushed into a corner by his seemingly righteous but actually shameless rhetoric. She quietly turned back to her friends behind her and said, “Please fetch Katie Swift for me.”
She had no choice but to bring out the big guns in the form of superstar Katie. Although this would significantly weaken her ties to Harrison Clark and Carrie Thomas.
But at this point, Layna had to make a decision.
Unfortunately, she received some terrible news a minute later.
Katie Swift had just gone into a small conference room in the manor with several top producers and marketing tycoons.
During the earlier exchange, Katie and the others had reached an agreement on creating an entire album centered around “Self-Combustion”. Talks were currently in the substantive stage, and it was not a good time to interrupt.
Harrison Clark didn’t care and told Layna, “It’s not necessary, don’t force it. We have an old saying in UK, a forced melon is not sweet. To be honest, this kind of party doesn’t appeal to me, and if they don’t welcome us, we’ll just leave.”
Layna tightly clung to his arm, “No, you can’t go. This is too much. I won’t allow it.”
On the other side, Maxwell Campbell and his entourage were watching the commotion with their own thoughts.
Wesley the young actor covered his painful face and sneered, “Hmph! I thought he was someone important, but in the end, he’s just like us, stuck outside.”
Maxwell shook his head, “No, it’s different. We’re desperate to get in there. He doesn’t care at all.”
Everyone behind him looked puzzled, unable to understand.
“Mr. Campbell, why is that?”
Maxwell shook his head, “It’s nothing, it’s just because he’s Harrison Clark. He doesn’t need to ride anyone’s coattails, walk the red carpet, or even release photos. But every song he writes can become an instant hit.”
Everyone was silent, unable to comprehend the level he was on.
At that moment, something changed.
Harrison Clark had a change of heart.
He suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity.
Yeah, a chance to make a name for himself and instantly break into the European and American markets.
So he raised his hand and said loudly, “Butler Moray, you said I don’t respect music, but I disagree. To prove my respect, give me a guitar, and let me show you with actions how I respect music creation. Let’s see if I’m truly qualified to be an honored guest at your ridiculous banquet.”
As soon as Harrison Clark said this,
there was complete silence at the entrance of the manor.
That’s so arrogant!
Who does he think he is?
Who here doesn’t know how to write songs?
Who hasn’t written or sung a few best-selling pieces on the Billboard charts?
There are even dozens of Grammy winners here!
Harrison Clark saw the expressions on everyone’s faces.
But he didn’t care, still smiling calmly.
Carrie Thomas didn’t say anything on the side.
She felt like she had seen this scene before.
The only difference was that the audience now was on a completely different level than before..
