*ping* A system notification popped but Asher ignored it and decided to check it later.
Seeing Amelia and Damian leaving with Asher, the security also followed them. But Asher still left some of his team behind to take the trio to their hotels if they wanted to.
Elena was burning with anger inside her. As the only daughter of the Rothschild family, nobody had ever threatened her like this before. But she held her anger in and looked at Kevin with a worried face.
“Kevin, are you alright?” Elena helped Kevin get up.
“Yeah, don’t worry. I am fine,” Kevin spoke with his eyes full of anger as he wiped the dust from his clothes. As a member of the Whiteheart family, which had recently become an elite family, he had never thought that he would be humiliated like this. Seeing his emotions, Eva immediately tried to calm them down.
“Let’s not do anything rash. The influence of the Greville family is very strong in Somaria, especially in Soran,” Seeing her explanation, Kevin calmed down a bit.
“Yes, Eva is right, Kevin. We should talk to our families about this incident before doing anything,” Elena said while holding Kevin’s hands.
“Okay, but that guy was too cruel. Amelia will only suffer with him,” Kevin said while looking at Elena.
“We cannot interfere in their family, Kevin, and we only met Amelia this last month during our last year group assignment. She may not like us interfering with their family matters,” Eva tried to reason with Kevin. Kevin wanted to say something but he got interrupted before he could speak,
“Let’s move from here. People are gathering here because of the commotion earlier!” Elena said and pulled both Eva and Kevin along.
“Tell your young master that we don’t need his accommodations!” Elena said to one of the bodyguards Asher left behind to take them to their hotel.
“Victor, book a place for us to stay,” Elena said to her personal bodyguard. He nodded at her request and went to make the arrangements for their travel. In the meantime, the three of them decided to stay in the lounge to relax their minds.
The three of them attracted some people curious gazes towards them but people didn’t react for Kevin the same as Asher. As Asher, who despite being 13, looked like a 16-year-old because of his height and boosted growth due to his Awakening, Kevin looked like a 15-year-old because he was smaller and looked more like a child than Asher. Asher’s cold and indifferent face also gave an aura of maturity around him that attracted people to him.
*********************
In the Black & Gold Rolls-Royce, Amelia was sitting with her head down, and Asher did not speak anything to break the silence. So, Damian decided to question Asher to help Amelia a bit.
“Ash, I know you don’t like being bothered, but you still should have given them some face. All three of them are from elite families, and this might bring trouble for you later in the future.” Although he liked the treatment Kevin got, he still knew the repercussions of such actions.
“You think I don’t know this? I know, but I cannot allow any outsiders on our estate at this moment,” Asher spoke without looking at Damian. Amelia’s ears perked up a little, listening to Asher’s reason, although she wanted to ask why, but she didn’t want to talk with Asher at this moment.
“What something bad happened!? “Damian spoked immediately, he was curious why Asher answered in such a way.
“No, nothing like that, you will soon realize what I am talking about,” Asher gave an indifferent look at Damian.
“And Amelia, I don’t know how you wasted your years studying at your academy, but it seems you still don’t have any sense of who to make friends with and who not to,” he reprimanded Amelia in a cold voice.
“Come on, don’t be harsh on her. Although I also dislike the three of them, they are not that bad, right?” Damian was trying to mediate between the siblings, but every effort was going down the drain. Amelia wanted to cry at Asher’s scolding, but she held her tears in.
“I-I know how to judge people,” Amelia spoke in a low voice.
“And you want me to believe it after seeing all that? Do you think bringing those three with you on your private flight, favors will arise of Greville being friendly with other elite families,” Asher told her with his indifferent voice. His manner of speaking was hurting Amelia even more, but she still thought about what he just said.
“And did you even think that this behavior of yours could become an excuse for our countless enemies to join forces with each other to counter us?” His words were true. Amelia herself realized her mistake.
“I-I am sorry,” Amelia was about to cry, and Damian saw this and he could not handle it.
“Ash, it’s enough. Why do you keep scolding her? And was there a need for you to embarrass her in front of her friends?” he tried to question Asher. Although he knew slightly why Asher would react like this, he did not know why he didn’t want them to not be back in the derivatives.
‘Sigh! Only because of you I am leaving her alive.’ Asher thought in his mind. The only reason he even tried to bother getting Amelia away from those three was because of Damian. If Damian did not have an unrequited love for Amelia, his actions would not be this ‘soft’ for her.
“You will realize when we get home why I didn’t want to take them with us. And stop annoying me if you want to impress her,” Asher did not even bother looking at Damian, who was slightly red because of being caught off guard by Asher.
Even the half-depressed Amelia was looking up to see Damian’s reaction. ‘Cute,’ she thought as she was distracted by Damian’s act. She was also slightly aware of Damian’s interest in her, but she did not want to break their friendship, so she decided to simply ignore it.
The rest of their time reaching the Greville estate was full of silence. Nobody spoke a word after this. The car reached the mansion and they arrived in front of it.
“Straighten your facial expression, if you don’t want to make a spectacle of yourself,” Asher told Amelia while getting out of the car before her and Damian.
“Here, take my handkerchief and wipe your eyes!” Damian handed it to her, and she obliged, wiping her slightly puffy eyes and applied some light makeup quickly on her face.
She did not know what was waiting for her inside, but she did not want to embarrass herself anymore. Amelia was a very prideful person, but this pride of hers did not work on Asher, who was like a small walking trauma for her.
Asher waited for both of them to come out and decided to check his system notification.
