Chapter 631: The Mean Jared

Inside the classroom, Lysander found a spot to sit down, and Orson naturally joined him, idly flipping through his book. Before long, they heard whispers and snickers from nearby. Turning their heads together, they saw a girl sitting behind them, her face marked by a deep scar. Lysander turned his head back emotionlessly; there was nothing there to pique his curiosity.

Orson, however, kept staring incessantly. "She looks familiar, doesn't she?" Lysander twisted his head back around, "Can you stop staring at the girl endlessly?" Orson forcibly turned his head away, "I just think this woman looks familiar, like I've seen her somewhere before... Hey! Aren't you Stephanie?"

Orson, having been raised by Marie, naturally knew Stephanie, though they weren't very close. Previously, Stephanie had looked down on Orson for being adopted and mimicked Jared's haughty demeanor shamelessly. Orson, for his part, disdained Stephanie's affected manners, finding her sickening as she constantly hovered behind Jared. Although the two never confronted each other directly, they ignored each other, maintaining a surface-level harmony while secretly despising one another. When no adults were present, they managed to avoid rolling their eyes at each other.

Stephanie looked up, surprised at seeing Orson, and quickly covered her face, "Orson? What are you doing here?" "Shouldn't I be asking you that? What happened to your face?" Orson had not been home for a while and was completely unaware of the upheaval within the Lyon family.

Stephanie looked down, "It's not important. Are you also studying here?" Orson, who had never heard Stephanie speak so gently before, was curious. The princess-like airs she used to carry were gone. "Yes, did you transfer here too? Does Marie know?" "Yes, she knows. I'm here for graduate studies. My advisor said I had wasted a lot of time with the transfer and suggested I start attending classes to get acquainted."

Orson, though annoyed by Stephanie, did not ignore her as before but instead introduced her to Lysander, draping an arm over his shoulder, "This is my brother, Lysander, say hello." Lysander, disdainfully glancing at Orson, was also unaware of the Lyon family affairs, and such trivial matters were not disclosed to him at Clearwater within the Mountain Veil Order. He nodded politely at Stephanie, "It's time for class." His tone clearly showed his lack of interest in further conversation. Stephanie, sensing the mood, said to Orson, "We can talk more later." Orson nodded and whispered teasingly to Lysander, who responded by stomping on his foot under the table. After class, Orson, who had fallen asleep on the desk, was kicked by Lysander, "Are we going?" "Oh, let's go. Stephanie, it's noon, let's have lunch together." Orson got up, wiping drool from his mouth, and called out to Stephanie.

Being new and scarred, Stephanie had few friends and followed them. In the cafeteria, Orson finally asked her straightforwardly. Stephanie briefly explained her situation, omitting her misdeeds and portraying herself as a pitiable figure. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have listened to Grace, causing Tina such distress. It's only right that I ended up this way, but thankfully Tina holds no grudges, allowing me to start anew."

Orson nodded. "You should really thank me, Tina. It wouldn't be too much even if you knelt down. I knew they were being mistreated in Clearwater, and I would have rushed over no matter what. Thinking of making my Tina sad? Shameless!" Orson kept repeating Tina's name, much to Lysander's annoyance, who couldn't even eat his meal. "You used to call her a country bumpkin, and now you're so happy to call her Tina. Did Tina agree?"

"Mind your own business." Orson snatched the meat from Lysander's bowl, continuing to complain about Stephanie.
