Chapter 851



Her elder brother, Howard, had jumped out the moment she was close to his door as though he had been awaiting her return all along.

It was indeed just as she had suspected, for the young boy had been reading a book while waiting for her class with the Marquess to end.

When he heard footsteps resounding in the corridor which the siblings shared, he had hopped out of bed before rushing towards the door.

Now, standing before his little sister, Howard smiled before walking towards her.

“Vonny, let’s go out!” He announced in an excited tone, eager to head outside and spend some time with his baby sister.

Taylor was busy with his training and he did not want to disturb Sept as well.

.....

Therefore, he had waited for Yvonne to complete her classes before he could get the chance to take her along with him.

The two siblings had not gotten the time to be with each other as there was always someone tagging along.

Even right now, Jax was standing behind her but he did not mind as he had already thought of an excuse to get rid of him.

While Howard was scheming inwardly on how he would accomplish this task, Yvonne was surprised after hearing this impromptu plan her brother had made.

They had not decided to go out today and neither did she have any clue about what was on his mind.

Therefore, she was unable to react immediately after this plan was brought to her attention on such short notice.

Finding her to be in a daze, Howard pulled her along before she could make up any excuses to reject him.

“Big Brother will take you to an interesting place.” He lured her as they walked along towards the entrance of the mansion.

Yvonne was already far from the corridor that led to her bedroom by the time she had come back to her senses.

Her body yearned for a nap, however, after noticing Howard’s excitement, the little girl did not have the heart to refuse him.

Thankfully, she had dressed appropriately for her class with the Marquess so she could leave just as she was right now without having to change into a new set of clothing.

If Howard had come by after she had changed into something more comfortable then he would not have been able to drag her along even if he pleaded vehemently.

The brother had already known about her nature after living together for so long and thus had blocked her way even before she could reach her room.

This was how Howard succeeded in bringing his sister along with him on his trip outside the estate.

On their way out, the heir informed Butler Limo who summoned a carriage and a driver for them.

Howard had stated that they would not need any servants to follow them despite the old man’s request to take someone along.

When Jax had declared that he would join them so that he might serve his Boss if she needed, the young boy had rejected this suggestion as well.

“Shouldn’t you be preparing for CLOVER’s entry into the noble market?” Howard whispered, leaning close to the older boy who frowned upon hearing this.

Only Butler Limo and Jax were aware of the Young Miss’s involvement in CLOVER’s matters as the rest of the employees here had been kept in the dark about her secret identity as VC.

The only times the family had openly discussed matters connected to her position as the owner of CLOVER had been in secured locations like the Parlor and the Earl’s office.

Therefore, Howard had been careful to not be too loud when he brought this matter up as there were other servants around.

To them, Jax was already considered to be the second-in-command in CLOVER who would be the face of the business in VC’s place.

Therefore, it would be difficult for him to be seen following the Young Miss of the St. Claire family around the town if he wished to be known as VC’s right-hand man in the future.

Though Yvonne had not yet figured out how Jax would manage to portray two roles at the same time, Howard was using this technicality to his advantage.

Only a few people had seen Jax with Yvonne until now and if they wished to keep his identity as her Butler a secret from more people then it would be best if he did not follow her around all the time.

Once she found a way to conceal his identity as her Butler, he could continue trailing behind her all he wanted but until then, it would be better if he stayed inside the estate.

Jax narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth when he saw the sly glint that had flashed across Howard’s eyes.

On the other hand, Yvonne felt that her brother’s words did make sense as concealing Jax’s initial position as her Butler needed to remain a secret.

If people were to figure out this identity of his after he had been introduced as VC’s right hand then it would not take long before her involvement would be uncovered.

After all, he was her Butler and also the right hand of VC so making the connection would not be too difficult for a discerning person.

“Big Brother can keep me safe, Jax,” Yvonne uttered in a calm tone and the meaning behind those simple words was clear for the young butler to grasp.

She was siding with Howard and asking him to stay behind which made him pout but he nodded nonetheless.

Butler Limo patted the youngster’s shoulder as he too had been left behind by his master too many times in the past.

However, it was not their place to throw a tantrum and demand to be taken along.

They could only agree with their Master’s plans and find a way to support them however they could.

Jax had been taught well by the old man so he did not make a fuss and accepted his fate without much grumbling.

However, he glared at the boy who had put this thought into his Boss’s head.

In response, Howard grinned victoriously as he held his sister’s hand and brought her outside the mansion when he saw that the carriage had already been prepared for their trip to the town.

Yvonne was focusing her thoughts on how to solve the issue with Jax’s dual identity and hence had not caught the secret exchange that took place between the boys.

The siblings were soon inside the carriage which began to move after Howard had whispered their destination to the driver who nodded in compliance immediately.

The two butlers then waited till the carriage was out of sight before the old man turned towards the boy next to him.

“The guards will watch over them.” Butler Limo revealed that the secret guards of the St. Claire family would ensure that the two children were safe.

No matter what the circumstances were, the Earl had given them strict orders to protect his family, and considering their unflinching loyalty towards him, they would abide by his rules without fail.

Hearing this, Jax nodded as he too trusted the guards he had trained with in the past and continued to do so on certain days.

They were indeed worthy of guarding the richest family in the Kingdom as they were on par with the Captain whose skills he had witnessed when he came by to teach his Boss.

If Captain Desmo had known that his strength was being compared with that of the St. Claire family’s guards then he would have taught Jax a lesson he would never forget.

However, the Captain had other troubles to focus his attention on so the young butler was let off the hook this time.

On the other hand, knowing that she would be fine with the guards around, Jax scoffed at that young boy who often got on his nerves before he let go of his worries about his Boss’s safety.

Butler Limo shook his head as the petty rivalry between Jax and Young Master Howard had become a common occurrence in their estate which he had witnessed numerous times by now.

“Why don’t you use this time to practice your other lessons?” He suggested since he knew that Jax’s chores would get burdensome in the future.

The Young Miss had given him certain instructions which he needed to complete in his free time so he could use this opportunity to focus on them.

When Jax heard this, he no longer cared about Howard’s provocation and rushed back to the servants’ dormitory so that he might finish the lessons that his Boss had asked him to concentrate on.
