Chapter 378 - Revenge 379: The Next Successor (1/2)

”Tell me again, what are we doing here?” Mary is still confused about why her husband told her to cancel all her meetings for the rest of the day. She understands why she had to cancel her meeting someone important because she has to be there for her daughter, but she plans to continue her original schedule after that.

Who would have thought that her husband literally forced her to cancel everything she planned today.

”Today's the day, the truth will be revealed, my love,” Arion said plainly. In his tone of voice, Mary noticed that there is a hint of anger. She wanted to give her husband a scolding for her not telling her what is really happening, but she held back.

Unlike her husband, she knows how to read people's moods. And thinking about that, she is still slightly upset that her husband has to mention Keila's past in front of everyone and especially to Keila who is still stuck in her past.

”Son, whatever you are doing, I hope it's not gonna affect me in a bad way.” Ever since Arion told him that they are going somewhere place and that there is going to be a big reveal, Marcus is somewhat feeling nervous.

It's the same feeling when he thinks that something bad will happen to the people that he loves.

”I'm sorry, Father, but I think what's going to happen later, will surely break your heart. That's why I made sure to call the necessary help that you need just in case something bad happened to you.” Behind that cold expressionless father of his, Arion knows deep well how his father cares for their family.

He feels bad about what is about going to happen, but it's better to let his father know about than letting him live his life not knowing what his older brother is doing behind the scenes. If he won't let him know, then it will only hurt him so deeply once he discovers it by himself.

Marcus wants to know more, but before he could even ask another question, they have already arrived at their destination. They are now currently at the Old Mansion of the Coleman family.

Seeing the cars that are parked in front of the Old Mansion, Marcus knew right away that there is going to be a meeting between higher-ups in the family. It's a tradition that whenever there is something to discuss, the Old Mansion is the place where the meeting should be discussing.

However, there is one thing that has been broken in their family tradition. The patriarch or the matriarch of the family should be the one leading the meeting.

Noticing that her father-in-law didn't have a clue that all of this is happening, Mary opens her mouth and asks, ”Arion, did you arranged all of this by yourself?” By marrying into the Coleman family, Mary put a lot of effort into having to learn every traditional way of the Colemans.

”No. It's not me, but I do know what's the meeting is about.” Arion is careful enough not to reveal who is the one held responsible for breaking the family tradition. He wants everyone, that is present, to know that his children are capable of uncovering a person's dirty secret all by themselves.

Once they have entered the biggest room inside the Old Mansion, a lot of stares are directed towards them. Some of those stares hint how greedy a person is, while some are just there to get things over.

”Cousin Marcus, it has been a very long time since we last saw each other!” An overly friendly old man suddenly stepped forward to give Marcus a hug, however, instead of receiving the hug, Marcus gave that old man a cold stare.

”Cousin Rent, I still remember telling you that I don't like receiving hugs.” Marcus half-lied. What he truly meant is that he doesn't like receiving hugs from the people he doesn't like. Of course, most people in the room know that fact, but for some reason, his cousin Rent doesn't like to take a hint.

”Hohoho! Cousin, you are as grumpy as ever! When will you start getting soft? You're already at the age where you should be receiving and giving love to those who are closest to you.” Knowing what kind of a man Rent is, everyone in the room can see through his words. Rent's words actually mean that he wishes for Marcus to die already so that the main forces of the Coleman family will weaken.

Enraged by the words coming out of Rent's mouth, the Coleman twins, Anna and Aaron, stepped forward and faces Rent.
