Chapter 326 - Revenge 327: Aaron, The Scapegoat (1/2)

”T-that can't be good. Those people won't be able to acknowledge Aaron as an heir, and even if they did, it will be a whole process.” If that happens, one of those people will try and plot something. They will see it as their chance to take over everything.

”I know. Those people are a bunch of greedy pigs, once they heard about the missing jewel, they will use everything that they have to fill their bellies.” Truthfully said, Marcus has no care about the family treasure, all he cares about is for his grandson to have what is rightful to him.

It would be easy for him to eliminate those greedy pigs, however, that is not an option and will never be an option. There are things that the Coleman family can't do, and they are the only ones who can do it.

”Tell me right away if Arion is back.”

After hearing that, Tess nodded and started to walk towards the door.

”Move, Anna! Move!” Aaron frantically said to Anna. He and Anna are currently eavesdropping at their grandfather and Nanny Tess's conversation. They want to hear more, but their Nanny Tess is about to come out of the door.

If Tess sees them in front of her right after she comes out of the door, she will definitely be suspicious of what the twins are up to.

”W-wait! Don't push me too hard.” Anna is not ready to move just yet when her brother pushed her to go hide in the nearest room.

It seems like what Anna just said didn't get through Aaron's ears since he still keeps doing what he is doing, pushing her. With that, Anna loses her balance. She and her brother both fell down on the floor and it's at the same time when Tess comes out of their grandfather's study office.

With a frown plastered on her face, Tess spoke suspiciously towards the twins,” Aaron, what are you and your sister are doing?” Tess could accuse the twins of eavesdropping on her and Marcus's conversation, but she does not have proof. Also, she is not sure if the twins were really eavesdropping in the first place.

”Uh... we, we were trying to place a prank on the room that Daddy is going to stay in later. But with t-too much excitement, brother and I fall down.” Anna tried to keep her face straight as she lied to Tess. Tess knows a lot about her, and there is a big possibility that Tess will be able to see that she is lying.

”A prank on your father's arrival? Aaron, what kind of nonsense are you trying to teach on your sister?” When the twins heard that, they both inwardly sighed in relief. It seems like Anna's lie worked on Tess, but somehow, Aaron felt he has been treated unfairly.

Aaron was about to say that it was all Anna's idea, but Anna elbowed her brother indicating that he should not say a word. If Aaron says what he wants to say, Tess will know that the twins are lying. After all, Anna is not the type of person who would do pranks on the other people.
