Asher thought to himself, 'This will be annoying.'
"Dear 'son,' could you please enlighten your father on where you went?" Arthur said, still smiling. He wanted to scold him so much, but if he did, Sylvie would probably eat him alive, saying, 'How dare you scold him on his birthday party.'
"I was feeling a bit irritated, so I wanted to roam around outside a bit," Asher said with an indifferent face. Asher obviously knew that he wouldn't get in much trouble for going outside without security, as Arthur would not question him anymore.
"But you should have taken Emmy with you, at least," Arthur said, not wanting to restrict the freedom of his kids. However, because they were a powerful family, they obviously garnered hate from others. Asher could have been targeted by people if the news of him disappearing was leaked.
"Let's not argue further. I need to dress for the occasion as well," Asher told him and, with a calm face, moved past him.
"Did his rebellious stage begin or what?" Arthur wondered what to do with his son.
"ASHER!!... Where were you?" Sylvie immediately appeared close to him as soon as she saw Asher from the living room.
"Mom, I am fine. Can you let go of me," Asher said while moving away from Sylvie's grip, who held him tightly and was checking if everything was fine with him.
"But you still need to answer my question," Sylvie met Asher's eyes and demanded an answer.
"I was just strolling around, refreshing my mind a bit. I wanted a moment alone, so I left the guards and went alone," he said with an indifferent face, showing no emotion, so even his lie was impossible to be spotted unless you somehow had means to detect a lie.
"Can I go? I need to dress up as well," he looked at Sylvie, who was wearing a beautiful red dress. Coupled with red earrings, with her black hair and black eyes, she looked absolutely gorgeous.
"Okay, my handsome son. I will not trouble you anymore, but don't do it again," Sylvie kissed Asher's forehead and let him go. Arthur was watching the scene between the mother and son pair with a stupid expression.
"You spoil him too much," Arthur came close and told Sylvie.
"I know, but I don't want him to feel caged, so my heart can't handle scolding him either," Sylvie told him as she looked at Asher, who was going up to his room.
Asher arrived in front of his room and saw Emmy who was walking back and forth in front of his room. She saw Asher and finally let out a breath of relief.
"Young Master!!" She arrived in front of Asher.
"You need to get ready as soon as possible!!" Emmy urged Asher to get dressed up. Although the party would begin at midnight, but he needed to arrive early to greet the guests and socialize with them.
"Calm down, Emmy. I will go take a shower and just get the suit sent to my room. I will get ready myself," Asher said to her with an indifferent face. He did not want to get dressed by others. He hated other people touching him, especially when his inner self was already that of an adult.
"And make sure the gift I told you to retrieve is delivered to me during my Gift ceremony."
"As you wish, Young Master, but-" Emmy wanted to say something, but she was cut off as Asher already entered his room. She sighed and gave in, and asked the maid to send the suit directly into the room. She also needed to check on the twins who were still not ready.
Asher took a bath and put on his suit. He wore a black suit with a black shirt, and a red tie. His whole outfit complimented his black hair and crimson red eyes. He looked extremely attractive in normal casual clothes, but wearing formal attire complimented his charm even more.
"Almost forgot this thing," Asher said as he took a pair of black gloves and put them on.
He came down from his room and saw Lucas waiting for him. Apparently, Amelia and Livia were still getting ready, so they were late. Arthur and Sylvie had already gone to greet the guests who were coming. Every guest was from a rich family or represented an influential person. Nathan wasn't going to attend the party with the others. He would be drinking with more important guests, while Arthur greeted the rest with Sylvie.
"Can I go with you?" Lucas hesitantly asked Asher.
Asher looked at him with an indifferent face, which made Lucas think he would reject him. He walked past Lucas and stopped, then said,
"Why are you still standing there? Follow me, or you can just stay here," hearing him Lucas expression brightened and he immediately followed Asher like a duckling.
They entered their cars to go to the spot in the estate where the party was going to be held. The estate was of 500 meters radius and so they took a car to go to the Villa where the party was being held. Greville had a separate villa for occasions and for their family use. This Villa was even more beautiful and bigger than the Family Villa. It cost around 1 Billion AUR making the two villas Asher bought pale in comparison but they, despite being smaller than this, had their own charm.
This Villa was made this big to accommodate various guests and some of the rooms were even enhanced with Sound Proofing Runes which was the room Nathan was staying in. It would work wonders suppressing his loud voice.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious SUV, three people could be seen sitting and chatting together.
"Elena, why don't you tell me what you will do at the party?" Eva asked Elena.
"It's a surprise! Just wait and watch it!" She said while swaying her head left and right happily.
"Don't worry, Eva. I will protect her if any troublesome thing happens," Kevin said while shrugging his shoulder.
"Just don't mess things up too badly, as this could even affect our whole families," Eva sighed and ignored the happy Elena. Louis Rothschild had already arrived at the party a bit earlier than them because he needed to arrive a bit early to show respect towards the Greville family. The youngsters were not bound by such traditions, so nobody minded them arriving a bit late.
They reached the venue and saw several reporters who were flashing their cameras. Some media channels were invited and permitted to record outside the venue, but media was not allowed inside. They walked past the media while arranged security made sure their path was not blocked.
"Look, it's the daughters of the Rothschild and Williams families!" One of the reporters said while looking at the group of three young people.
"Even the famous Kevin Whiteheart, who is rumored to be a prodigy level talent, is accompanying her," the other reporter spoke.
The group of three people walked past the reporters and arrived at the venue. It was around 10:30 PM. They were greeted by a bunch of maids and they passed through them after they showed them their invites.
"Wow," Kevin looked around and saw many activities going on. Every guest had their own tables and a waiter assigned to them. A variety of cuisines could be seen being served. Famous artists were seen performing on the stage to keep the guests entertained.
"Look, it's Elena Rothschild and Eva Williams," many young boys started chatting up seeing the two beautiful girls. Elena was wearing a blue dress which complimented her blond hair and blue eyes. And Eva was wearing a purple dress which looked cute coupled with her blue hair and black eyes. Eva usually wore glasses, so her no-glasses look was refreshing for others to see.
"Kyaa, it's the prodigy of the Whiteheart family, Kevin Whiteheart," some of the girls were fanboying over Kevin.
The trio obviously ignored others and sat together at their reserved chairs. As they were from Elite families, their seating was more near to the Artist's stage, and two waiters were serving them together.
"At least the event is good, just the guy it's for is so annoying," Kevin spoke while sipping on the juice he was drinking from his glass.
"Hush, Kevin!" Eva elbowed Kevin as many other people were keeping their attention on them, and being heard like this was not a good thing for their reputation.
"Whatever, even the people invited here are annoying," Kevin saw many young boys were stealing glances at Elena and Eva, which irritated him and a frown appeared on his face which went unnoticed as he changed his expressions quickly.
"Let's just enjoy the party for now, shall we," Elena spoke and distracted the two of them.
As they were talking, the music went on, and people were socializing with each other talking about recent events. Kevin just talked with Elena and Eva as they politely "refused" many people who came to join their seats.
In the meantime, Asher joined Arthur who was greeting other guests, and Sylvie was talking to a group of ladies.
"Here comes Young Master Greville," one of the men talking to Arthur greeted Asher. Lucas had already gone to the room he would stay in with Livia and Amelia until the announcement was made.
"Oh, Asher here, meet Mr. Willsberg and.." Arthur introduced every person in the group. Asher did not like to mingle with others, so he kept his greetings short. Everybody knew about his nature, so they did not feel too surprised by his demeanor.
"Still the same cold devil, huh!" A voice came from a certain person, and everyone turned to watch who this person was.
