The other guests looked at the group of foreigners all sitting together. Iris Long must be talking about them. One of them—the demonically gorgeous woman Ashandra Knightson—was reportedly a famous artist. Based on the others' bearing, they must not be ordinary people either. They were Iris Long's…friends? Really?
Iris looked at her friends from Cross Academy and smiled at them. They all surprised her by attending her launch party without informing her. She invited them, of course, but they all gave various different reasons to decline. That was why she didn't expect that they would all turn up tonight. Even Madame Giulia Moretti attended, bearing regards and apology from Headmaster Erwan Dupont for not being able to attend due to conflicts in schedule.
