If it weren't for the unfair treatment she's suffered, she would have been the most privileged young lady in the whole of B City, born into a wealthy family! She deserves more respect than those three chicks outside!" Jaxon was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
After a while, he managed to speak: "You're so hell-bent on protecting Stephanie that you wouldn't even tell your own grandpa?" "Even if you knew now, it wouldn't make a difference... Once everything is settled, you'll know. Anyway, I've told you what I needed to." Jaxon laughed in disbelief.

It seemed like every tsomeone belittled that girl in front of him, he felt even more sorry for her.

But don't keep giving our guests the cold shoulder; getting to know them wouldn't hurt." Sebastian had no patience for those boring people.
