As he finished and turned to see the imposing woman beside Fleur, he stiffened right then. "Madam Yimmel? W-What are you doing here? My dad just sent someone to Bralog-" Yora snorted coolly. "Hmph! It would be the end of the world if I had to wait that long!" Jon quickly hung his head, sweating all over his brow in silence.

One might say that the Lane family would not enjoy their current status without the Yimmels' help-even Mark usually had to defer to her.
And since Yora was as unreasonable as she was assertive, the Lane were all terrified of her.
Even as Yora stared at Jon, he felt goosebumps, his throat suddenly parched as he did not know what to say.
And after much staring, Yora asked quietly, "Jon, right?" "Y-Yes, Madam Yimmel. It's Jon," Jon quickly replied, wiping the sweat off his brow at the stime.

And to be honest, Jon earnestly respected his cousin.
If he were to take her place, forget about doing better-Lanecorp would be lucky if he did not run them into the ground. That was why Jon turned pale when Yora told him that he would be appointed the new head of the Lane family.
Be it in competence or experience, Jon could not fill Helen's shoes! However, Yora seemed to read his mind and asked coolly, "You don't think you can do it, do you?" "You're right, Madam Yimmel. I have no right, and I'm not as competent as Helen to lead the family. It's just..." Jon was terrified, and becoming et head of the family was a burden to him and would not do him any good.
