A few of the soldiers who could easily overhear their conversation despite not wanting to were in complete disbelief.
They couldn't fathom how and why Shi Tian would give such a response when it was crystal clear that Vanessa just wanted an apology or some consolation.
Nevertheless, they are just soldiers and are on duty.
This was an affair between these two, so interfering would be impolite and could even cause them to be reprimanded harshly by Theobold for neglecting their duties.
Meanwhile, Vanessa's face changed from red to purple, going from embarrassment to anger.
Taking a deep breath, she needed to calm her agitated emotion. She was embarrassed because his response made it seem like she was being unreasonable and petty to everyone.
She could sense the soldiers were reacting but remained still, thanks to their years of training.
