With the situation spelled out so clearly, if Richard still kept assuming it was about him, he’d only further humiliate himself. No… to be precise, when Wyatt and Simon said in unison that they weren’t here for his apprenticeship ceremony, his dignity had already been shattered. Richard didn’t speak again, but the trembling of his hands revealed the turmoil and anger within him.
The crowd watched as Richard, clearly furious yet forcing a smile, stood there, while Winona beside him looked utterly embarrassed and unsure of what to do. ‘So what’s really going on? If these two important figures aren’t here for Winona’s apprenticeship ceremony, what could it be?’ Everyone was baffled. ‘It couldn’t possibly be for this recently-returned Ms. Zeller from the Chambers family’s welcome home party, could it? That would be absurd!’
Simon wasn’t concerned about Richard’s expression. He had rushed to the banquet for one person only. His gaze swept across the garden, and finally, in a small corner, he spotted Yvette eating dessert. There was another girl sitting beside her, and from their proximity, they seemed close.
At the same time, Wyatt also noticed Yvette, a flash of admiration crossing his eyes. This was the girl he’d once briefly encountered at a steakhouse. What had struck him most about her, aside from her beauty and cold demeanor, was her rebellious attitude, so different from other society girls. Seeing her today again, ‘No wonder Jeremiah, that iron-blooded king, treats her so differently. Such a stunning beauty-there’s no match for her among the women of Betrico’s noble families.’
Having found the person he came to see, Simon had no time for small talk. He greeted Wyatt and Zachary briefly before heading straight toward Yvette.
Winona, who had remained silent, saw Simon leaving and, as if suddenly struck by an idea, stepped forward to block him. Her voice carried a hint of plea. “We’ve prepared seats for you and the mayor at the head table. Please, join me.”
Zachary frowned slightly, but Wyatt said nothing. His expression, however, darkened. “This Winona is playing a little game here, trying to publicly guilt Simon into sitting with her.’
Simon paused and glanced at the pitiful-looking Winona. His voice, old and cold, replied, “First of all, congratulations, Winona. But I won’t be sitting at the head table.” With that, he brushed past her without a hint of politeness, leaving Winona standing there, face flushed with embarrassment. Simon walked straight up to Yvette in front of everyone and stopped. “Finally found you.”
Yvette leisurely raised her head, her demeanor lazy and casual, with a gleam in her beautiful eyes. Her upturned eyes carried a rebellious air, and even though she was wearing a gown, she couldn’t hide her roguish attitude. Still, she greeted Simon politely. “Hello.”
Simon nodded cheerfully, ignoring the curious glances and stares from others, and sat right down next to Yvette, engaging her in friendly conversation.
