Chapter 898: The Handsome Stranger
The second person who had arrived with Damien was none other than the young boy whom Yvonne quite openly disliked and the feeling between them was mutual.
Therefore, when she had seen the two individuals who were known to put her in a foul mood arriving at the place where she was, it was evident that she wasn’t too pleased.
However, she too, like her elder brother, was curious to know why the two of them had arrived together at this party.
‘Shouldn’t he be with his sisters or around Big Brother?’ She wondered because these were the only people Lyon Jorbin, the heir of the Jorbin family, was often with.
Yvonne might not know much about the young heir but was quite confident that he had no friends excluding her elder brother.
At every party they attended, Lyon was often found hovering around Howard which always made her roll her eyes.
However, today, they got to see something new as Lyon was found with Damien which surely was an unexpected sight for many.
.....
“Where did you disappear to?” Martha, the second triplet narrowed her eyes and interrogated when she finally caught sight of her brother who had wandered off by himself after they had arrived at this party.
A few moments ago, the triplets had been so enamored after being blessed with the good looks of the newcomer that they had not noticed the existence of their younger brother who had arrived along with him.
Only when the handsome stranger had spoken to Young Master Howard did they realize that their brother, who had escaped their grasp after entering the party’s venue together, had finally reappeared.
Therefore, the triplets unwillingly shifted their attention from the handsome stranger to this little troublemaker of their family.
Lyon pursed his lips under the scrutinizing gaze of his three elder sisters before disclosing what had happened to him.
The Jorbin family had arrived early for the Tanner tea party which resulted in them waiting around until the others could arrive.
Even among those families that were beginning to show up, there was none whom he was looking forward to spending time with.
Hence he had left his sisters who had found the Kiron sisters and chose to wander around rather than having to hear them gossiping about everyone else.
He had set out to find something interesting but along the way, realized that he had lost his path.
He was just about to look for a maid who could help him head back to the venue when he found a group of boys coming his way.
“I met Young Master Zimon...” He mumbled in a low voice but his sisters who had heard this frowned and waited to hear more from him.
They had known all along that the heir of the Yona family often tried to build a better relationship with their family by using their little brother.
However, the method he opted for was not something they approved.
Hence they had asked Lyon to stay away from that older boy and their brother, who wasn’t the most obedient child at times, was also happy to oblige.
After all, Lyon had been targeted by the boys who stayed with Zimon Yona on numerous occasions and while the Yona family’s heir pretended to chide them for it, only a fool would believe his words.
In the past, Howard had saved the young boy from their clutches, and ever since that incident, Lyon had been doing his best to stay away from them.
However, today he had failed as those boys had found him while he was wandering alone in the backyard of the vast Tanner mansion.
Learning that it was Damien who rescued their little brother, his impression grew better in the hearts of the triplets who once again gazed at him with greater admiration brimming in their eyes.
While the triplets and Damien had attended the same events a few months ago, they had never truly interacted with each other.
Neither did Damien get closer to them nor did the triplets pay much attention to him.
Hence they had not noticed his handsome face in the past but that had changed after he appeared before them in such a stellar manner today.
Therefore, they could not help but glance over in his direction every few seconds with a shy look in their eyes.
Unaware of the pink bubbles surrounding the triplets as they stared at Damien, Yvonne was busy trying her best not to roll her eyes as she watched Lyon putting on an aggrieved face as he interacted with her elder brother.
Howard and Taylor often protected Lyon from Zimon and his friends at the academy so they were surprised to hear that those boys had attempted to do something useless on such an occasion.
This made Howard who had grown attached to the little boy and Taylor who loved pretty faces feel annoyed for his sake.
“Does he not know where he is?” Taylor scowled while thinking of Zimon’s insolent attitude in his territory.
In response, the triplets nodded in acceptance because no one else was supposed to bully their younger brother.
‘That is our job to do!’ Melissa seethed and scanned the area to locate the culprit but found no clue of him anywhere.
Contrary to what they were feeling, Yvonne and the Kiron sisters were silent spectators to the scene taking place before them.
Aleena had always disliked the Yona family’s siblings so she wasn’t too surprised to hear about Young Master Zimon’s actions which others had no clue about.
Everyone believed that he was an ideal young boy and the Yona family treated him as the apple of their eye.
‘Like brother, like sister!’ She harrumphed before rolling her eyes when she thought of the siblings whom she did not like too much.
Rika, on the other hand, was surprised to hear this as she wasn’t someone who believed the worst in people.
She, as the youngest child of the Kiron family, was strangely optimistic as she had been introduced to only the good side of things due to her elder siblings’ protective nature.
Hence she was oblivious to the true nature of most people in their noble society.
However, ever since she had become the second playmate of the Princess, she had been learning to assess people better as that was a much-needed skill for those in places of power.
While they were lost in their little world, this group did not notice that the appearance of the two new boys had garnered more attention from those around them.
To make matters worse, Topher Tanner, the star of today’s party, emerged right after his best friend made an appearance.
When he saw that his elder brother had also arrived, Taylor was quick to reveal what Lyon had told them which elicited a similar response from Topher as well.
If something had happened to the darling of the Jorbin family while attending their tea party then it would have affected the relationship between the two families.
Hence this time, Zimon and his friends had not only offended the Lyon siblings but also Howard and the Tanner siblings.
While the boys were now busy discussing what needed to be done regarding this situation, Yvonne’s gaze was fixed on the boy with brown hair.
There was displeasure and disgruntlement written all over her face as she leered at him and to her misfortune, that boy had turned over right in time to catch the nasty glare she was shooting his way.
‘How have I managed to offend you this time?’ A sarcastic voice echoed in her mind, making her widen her eyes in the next instant.
Without bothering to reply to what she had heard in her head, Yvonne’s instinctual response was to scan her surroundings.
Only after she had made sure that there wasn’t anyone with etchers in their vicinity did she turn to the one who had spoken.
‘Can you not speak normally!?’ She sneered and scowled right in Damien’s mind using the mental link formed between their etchers.
From the moment she stepped out of her home, Yvonne would suppress her aura to make sure that under any circumstances she did not let anyone know of the powers she possessed.
Using her aura would disclose that she possessed it and this was not something she wished for others to discover.
If others realized that she had aura within her and could wield it then she did not know how they would react but was sure that most of them would not be too pleased to hear about it.
Hence, to save herself from a mountain load of trouble that might land on her if this fact was ever revealed, Yvonne had always made it a point to not utilize her aura when she was outside.
Therefore, the moment Damien had used his aura to form a link between their etchers which initiated communication between them, her first concern was that someone around them could sense his aura reaching her.
Only those with etchers could use their aura as they pleased so if someone were to notice Damien’s aura being aimed at her and the fact that she had the ability to receive it then it would make everything quite obvious for anyone with a discerning eye.
Thankfully, excluding a few young masters close to them, who she was sure had no etchers, there wasn’t anyone who could notice what the two of them were up to.
Hence, she let out a sigh of relief but at the same time, did not forget to chide Damien for initiating a conversation using their mental link when all he had to do was open his mouth and speak.
