Chapter 329 - Revenge 330: Sneaky Little Brats (1/2)
Startled by Marcus' words, James cannot help but clenched his hand into frustration. Like always, Marcus will always side himself to Arion. In his mind, Marcus will never side with him whether he is right or wrong.
”But, father-”
”No buts, James.” Marcus coldly said cutting off James. ”There are things that are better to be kept in secret. That may be the case, but there is no need for you to worry because you will know everything when the time is right.”
Once again, James proved to Marcus that he is not ready to face the truth about what does the Coleman family does behind the shadows. As always, whenever James speaks like that, he is able to make Marcus feel like he only wanted to save himself.
In the Coleman family, the number one thing that has always been taught to its next-generation is that family is the number one thing that one should protect. And in the organization, every member is like family. Looking out for each is the rule over there, and James just does not have that flare.
James shuts his mouth, he couldn't say anything back. He has failed in making Arion look like a bad guy. His father's words just made him look like the bad guy instead. He has been around all the time ever since Arion left, but now that Arion is back, it seems like his father no longer sees him.
In James's opinion, Marcus should be angry at Arion for leaving the family for so long, and that Marcus should take everything that belongs to Arion and give it to him. After all, it does belongs to him at the very beginning of the chapter.
”About the family heirloom,” Marcus started. ”We must use everything that we have to get it back. That thing has been in our family for generations and I cannot accept the fact that during my time of me living in this damn earth, the family heirloom has gone missing and possibly will never return.”
Truthfully, Marcus has no other way of explaining it. That jewel is just an expensive jewel. It can be replaced, however, the thing that inside the jewel is the real family heirloom. That thing is the one thing that Marcus wants back. It's only him and Arion who know what is the thing inside the jewel, and Marcus is sure that his son understands why he wants it back so badly.
”Of course, we must, father!” James said. To James, that missing jewel is not just a jewel, it's his key to take over the Coleman family business, to have the Coleman family in his palms, and to make his brother not to ever look down on him ever again.
For now, he will be willing to cooperate in whatever is necessary until they found the jewel. And once the jewel is found, he will grab it and show it those greedy pigs, then will have no other choice but to accept that he is the new Master of the Coleman family.
After hours of talking, James finally decided to head back, and once he reached his car, he immediately took out his phone and dialed someone's number. After a few rings, that someone, finally answered. ”What do you want?” Said the person over the phone.
”You better not talk to me like that, young man,” James said in an irritated tone. He always wonders why this person over the phone never respected him the normal way. Whenever they talk to each other, there is always hatred of his tone. No matter what James gives to him, it seems like it is never enough to please this young man.
