Chapter 273 - Revenge 274: Coleman by Name and not by Blood (1/2)
Anna and Aaron snoop around the room, and as they do that, they saw a big book suddenly came in their sight. Like a curious cat, the twins open the book very carefully. The book is old, and one reckless move can rip the pages in just a second.
”Silas Coleman, Noah, Evangeline, wow. It seems that this book is about our family tree, brother.” Anna is fascinated that there is a book of records of each name of her ancestors.
”Yes. I can see that.” Just like Anna, Aaron is also fascinated by the fact that their family has a record like this. ”Let's go to our side,” Aaron stated, then flip through the pages.
The twins arrived at the page where their written name is. And on that same page, their grandfather and father's name is also written. As they are staring at it, they noticed something that made them frown.
”That's unusual, our uncle James' name is not written on this book.” The only name Anna sees underneath her grandfather's name is her father's. In Anna's mind, it concluded to her that her father is the only child of Marcus Coleman.
”Well, it's possible that he is not a Coleman blood,” Aaron commented. Anna and Aaron are not dumb, seeing that James' name is not written on the page, the only way to explain it is that James is not carrying the blood of the Colemans in his veins.
”All this time, I thought that uncle James is the first-born of our grandfather.” Anna doesn't know whether she should feel bad or not towards her uncle James. She may not like her uncle James, but she does feel that way.
”To be honest, I have been wondering why uncle James didn't inherit running the family business.” For any elite family like theirs, first-borns are usually the ones to inherit running the family business. Of course, there is an exception in some occasions, but it is always the first-borns. ”If this is the reason why then I think I understand.”
As Anna Aaron is talking about their uncle James, they suddenly heard footsteps coming near the room. With their heart beating fast, Anna and Aaron hurriedly placed the book back to its original place. After they have done that, they scan the room to find a spot to hide their selves.
”Brother, we should hide inside that big closet,” Anna whispered to her brother.
Aaron nodded his head, then followed his sister inside the closet. In just a nick of time, two people came inside the room without knowing that Anna and Aaron are hiding inside the room.
”Why is the light in this room is on? And the heirloom necklace is also missing.”
”Maybe the old man took the necklace and left the lights on.”
These voices were heard loud and clear by Anna and Aaron, and the expression on their faces shows that they shocked. ”Brother, those voices are uncle and auntie's voices,” Anna whispered to her brother. She did not expect James and his wife to be present here in the old mansion.
