Felix Lynch was the first to react. As the man of the house, he asked, "What's going on?"
Felicity Lister hurried forward and briefly explained the situation to him. Felix Lynch's expression darkened. In a cold voice, he said, "This isn't the place to discuss this. Let's go to the second floor. Zane, you stay here and entertain the guests."
Pushed out of the circle by his elders due to his junior status and forced to linger on the outskirts, Zane Lynch was speechless. 'No, I want to go up and listen too!'
Wanda Chamberlain, however, remembered Felicity Lister mentioning that Zane Lynch had personally invited Arabella Donovan and Eloise Donovan. She had a mind to let him join them upstairs, but Felicity once again stopped her.
Wanda Chamberlain knitted her brows. Though confused by the other woman's action, years of tacit understanding made her swallow the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.
