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 | be asking you that? What happened to your face?" Orson had not been hfor 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 | had wasted a lot
of twith the transfer and suggested | start attending classes to get acquainted."
Orson, though annoyed by Stephanie, did not ignore her as before but instead introduced her to Lysander,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdraping 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 tfor 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. | shouldn't have listened to Grace, causing Tina such distress. It's only right that |
ended up this way, but thankfully Tina holds no grudges, allowingto start anew."
Orson nodded. "You should really thank me, Tina. It wouldn't be too much even if you knelt down. | knew they
were being mistreated in Clearwater, and | 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.
Lysander remained silent but observed Stephanie covertly.
Later, Orson kindly took Stephanie around the school to familiarize her with the environment. Kongham
University had constructed many new buildings, making it quite different from Stephanie's tthere. Lysander
followed behind, quietly calling Tina.
After hearing him out, Tina laughed and said, "I know, you don't need to worry about her, just focus on your
studies."
"Tina, don't you needto teach her a lesson?" Lysander was eager to show his loyalty.
Since Tina had handed over the Emerson family to Lysander, he hadn't seen her. He barely received replies to his
messages. Knowing about Tina's situation in Clearwater, he understood that Stephanie's stories were likely
understated.
He wanted to defend Tina's honor, but Tina's voice cooled, reprimanding him, "Lysander, you are the head of the
Emerson family and the leader of the Mountain Veil Order. | gave you this position and power to enrich yourself,
not to squabble with trifles!"
Lysander shuddered, realizing his mistake. How could Tina care about such a minor character as Stephanie?

He had been too eager, forgetting his role.
"I'm sorry, Tina."
Tina sighed, "Look further ahead. First, manage the Emerson family's company well. The company's performance
is declining, and there's instability among the staff. With internal threats looming, you need to keep order at
hto focus on your responsibilities."
"Yes, | understand, Tina," Lysander replied.
Tina then ended the call.
Jared, noticing Tina's serious expression, couldn't help but ask, "What trouble has that little rabbit caused you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnow?"
"What little rabbit?"
"Little bunny."
Jared smirked slightly, "When it comes to Lysander's issues, you always get so petty."
It's no wonder Marie said he was mean!
Jared didn't mind being called harsh. He knew Lysander had eyes for his wife for years, yet he couldn't do much
but spare him for her sake.
Could he be anything but harsh?
Regarding Tina's issues, he admitted to being petty. What else could he do?
"Stephanie had lunch with Lysander and Orson today. It's her first day at school and she's already fitting in," Tina
said, half-lying on the sofa, resting her head on Jared's leg. "Her social skills are quite good."
Jared was browsing through a tablet, looking at Paula's latest research report on a chip. There was little progress,
but it was somewhat successful.
"However she wants to be, it's not our concern."
Tina laughed, "Try not to be too harsh, especially since Marie is still around. Give her sface."
Jared paused, put down his tablet, and playfully kissed Tina twice.
"If you callharsh again, I'll just kiss you."
Tina blinked, amused by the proposition.
