The conversation in the garden got so awkward that it got silenced.

It was then a sharp scream came from inside the hall.

Jeanne turned around. She had a feeling that something had happened.

She strode inside swiftly.

Fourth Master Swan watched her strode in and decided to follow her inside.

In the hall, Jeanne saw her son, George, standing in the middle and was surrounded by people.

When Jeanne strode over, George looked at her with a grievance.

Jeanne was already wondering what took George so long in the men's room and now it seemed like he had already come out by himself.

She looked around and saw Octavia, who also garnered quite the attention to herself.

Octavia was hugging her falling dress and she was screaming in panic.

Someone had stepped on her dress and caused it to slip off her. Even her nude color breast pads were exposed, embarrassing her in front of everyone. "What's wrong?" Damian came over in a hurry.

"T-This rascal stepped on my dress on purpose! He did it on purpose!" Octavia was driven mad by the embarrassment that she could barely keep herself calm. Damian threw a glance at Thedus.

Thedus quickly took his jacket off and covered his mother's embarrassment.

"No, I didn't do it on purpose. I came out of the men's room and wanted to look for my mom. I accidentally ran into Grandma," George explained with teary eyes and an innocent look. "Grandma, I really didn't mean it. I'm sorry."

He even politely bowed to express his apology.

Octavia would never let the boy off with just an apology. She pointed at George and screamed, "You ill-educated b*stard! Someone send him out immediately!"
