Chapter 163 - Revenge 162: Died In A Fire? (1/2)

”Grandfather.” Anna sweetly called out her grandfather, who is currently reading a book on the sofa.

Marcus looked up to Anna and suspiciously stare at her. Anna has never called out to him in a sweet tone of voice ever since he announced to her that she is to wed Juan. For his granddaughter to call out for him like that must mean that she needed something from him.

”What is it that you want, Anna?” Marcus dotes on his granddaughter, but his way of doting her is what you call tough. If he isn't tough on her, she might turn out to be unable to fight back for herself, and other people will take advantage of that.

”Grandfather, just because I'm calling you out that doesn't mean that I need something.” Though Anna indeed needs something from her grandfather, she is not going to tell her grandfather that.

”Don't think that you can fool me,” Marcus said in a stern tone of voice.

”Grandfather, look at me, do I look like I need something from you? Is it wrong for me to spend some time with my grandfather?” Anna tried her best to look like she doesn't need anything from her grandfather. How is that her grandfather is so keen at a time like this when he can't even clearly see that Juan has an ulterior motive towards their family? 'Grandfather, do you favor Juan that much to the point you can't even clearly see a person's true color?' Anna shook her head in disappointment; she can't believe that her grandfather trusts Juan so much.

Marcus observes Anna for a whole minute and then sighed. Anna seemed so sincere, and he can't help but feel a bit guilty that he suspected his granddaughter. Marcus gestured Anna to sit down, and Anna, on the other hand, felt relieved and was praising herself for not exposing herself.

Anna and Marcus talked and talked until somebody passes by the living room. It was Juan passing by, Anna smirked and purposely volumed up her voice, ”Grandfather, can you tell me more about Juan?”

Juan halted when he heard Anna uttered his name. It rare for Anna to call his name, and whenever she does calls his name, it's full of hatred. 'What is she up to?'

In the corner of Anna's eyes, she saw Juan leaning behind the wall. Good thing Marcus' back is facing the wall or else, he could immediately notice that Juan is eavesdropping on them.

”You're asking about Juan? Why?” Marcus suspiciously asks Anna. For the first time, Anna was the one who started to talk about Juan. 'Quite unusual.'

”Grandfather, why are you asking me like that? You make it sound like I'm suspicious.” Anna put on a face as if her feelings are hurt, ”Am I not allowed to ask you about Juan?” Anna is so thankful for Rebecca right now; if it weren't for Rebecca putting an act in front of her all this time, she couldn't have pulled off such act in front of her grandfather. 'You might be the person I hated the most Rebecca, but your existence did some good in me in some ways.'

”No. I did not mean it like that Anna,” Marcus did not mean to suspect Anna, but Anna wanting to know more about Juan is just too sudden for Marcus. ”What I mean is... why now? Why are you asking that now?”

Did something happen that his granddaughter suddenly asked about Juan? Is Kyle the reason why Anna asking about Juan? 'To know more about your rival?' Marcus said in his mind.
