Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283: No More Hiding

(Myra’s POV)

After Fabian finished his speech, Mr. Larson took center stage. Although I usually don’t gossip, I’ve heard a lot about him from my classmates. They called him cold, aloof, rude, ruthless, and cutthroat. Every word in the dictionary that means cruel and merciless was used to describe him. At least, that’s what the gossipmongers spread.

However, I was in awe and felt spellbound when I saw him in person. He looked too regal, too imposing with every step he took. He seemed unapproachable, just like those rumors. But for me, he was like an angel sent from heaven. It was he, or rather the scholarship program introduced by Mr. Larson himself, that got me into such an esteemed university as Red Stone.

It may be a mere coincidence or fate, but I am extremely thankful and indebted to this person, who was probably not even aware of my existence.

In my darkest days, when I didn’t see any way out and was desperate to escape, this program not only helped me get away but also uplifted me. As soon as he steps off stage, I intend to thank him in person. It’s the least I can do.

My parents are living a less stressful, more joyful life, and Wendy is also enrolled at Red Stone, which is great for her future prospects. She’s enjoying her time here, too. All of this is thanks to him, the one named Jacob Larson. I prepared myself to approach him.

He was almost done with his welcoming speech and was announcing the guest of honor to come on the stage. As soon as he mentioned them, murmurs and whispers started spreading around me like fire. I could tell people were excited, abuzz to see who the mysterious guests were. And truthfully, I was, too.

Based on their introduction and the way Chairman Larson is showering praises on them, they must have a significant influence worldwide. But somehow, this made me a little nervous. I don’t know why, but I felt my chest tightening, which made me stuffy. Maybe it’s because of the dress and all this heavy makeup. Yeah, that has to be it. After all, I am not used to all of this. I just feel uncomfortable, that’s all.

That’s what I thought, but as soon as I heard his next words, my whole body turned cold as an ice sculpture, "Now, starting with a thunderous round of applause, may I please welcome, to take the center stage, our esteemed guests who came here all the way from Kimberg."

"Huh, Kimberg?" My eyes widened as that place triggered alarm bells in my head. ’No way.’

He continued, "The four pillars of the Everests Corporation."

And that was all it took for my mind to go blank. A ringing buzz, tinnitus, filled my ears, too loud to drown out every single cheer, every single clap, and every single chatter happening in the room.

I saw people talking, smiling, clapping, and applauding, but I couldn’t hear a single thing. ’There can’t be such a coincidence. Everests Corporation? From Kimberg? No way ....... No fucking way, this can’t be true.’

I probably should have made a run for it or at least hidden somewhere, but I stayed rooted to the spot. It was as if my legs were made of lead. I couldn’t move them. My eyes automatically looked toward the door for confirmation. My anxiety spiked, soaring through the roof, making me dizzy and wobbly.

As soon as the door opened, warm light revealed four people stepping inside. Their regal aura, their radiant glow, and their elusive charm drained the color from my face, making it pale. They walked gracefully yet commandingly, and people parted naturally to make way for them.

Meanwhile, I was left stunned.

I overheard the gossipmongers whispering again, "Oh my gosh, they’re the famous Everests brothers. So, they are the mysterious guests of honor? Wow, Chairman Larson and Prof. Stephens really went all out, huhh. But why are there only three of them? Aren’t there four brothers? Where is he? And~ who’s that girl beside them? A new face? I haven’t seen anyone like her in the circle before."

"She looks stunning, and just one glance at her and her outfit, I’m sure she’s from a prestigious family," added another, "Look, she’s holding Mr. Brave’s arm. She must be his girlfriend or maybe his fiancée."

"That’s just courtesy, guys offering the lady their arm. And how do you even know it’s Brave Everests and not Alaric? They’re twins, after all," asked the first.
