Lucas did not dare admit that he actually did not know Melody's tolerance for alcohol. He did not know Melody would get drunk and disoriented with just one glass of champagne.

Beatrice advised Lucas not to go back downstairs. "Just stay here and take care of Melody. Your grandfather and I can handle the rest."
Lucas got up to escort Beatrice out, feeling somewhat concerned. "You two are getting older. I'll take care of her for a while, and if everything's okay, I'll go back downstairs."
Beatrice waved her hand dismissively. "Don't worry about it. Just stay here."
To put it nicely, the guests that night needed to be entertained by Beatrice and Cedric. To put it less politely, aside from a few close friends, they were not particularly interested in mingling with the others. A small matter like that was not something they could not handle.

Quinn's expression darkened. Even though she was dependable on her care, that was not Thalia's reason to mock her.
Thalia scoffed and crossed her arms. "Do you think you're someone special? If it weren't for me taking you in, you'd probably be wandering around Molomia by now. Don't try to lecture me from a moral high ground. Nobody can stop me from doing what I want."
