Chapter 383 - Revenge 384: Revealing The Truth (IV) (1/2)
”Don't put all the blame on me. I already had Juan to do that part of the job, but that stupid brat messed everything up! Entirely it's not my fault. You should have done it instead if you really want my father to die.” James said in an irritated tone.
”I would have done it if your grandfather trusted me more.” Marietta just could not understand why would James let others do his dirty work when he can approach his father without any problem.
James didn't respond. Truthfully, the reason why he ordered Juan to do his bidding to put poison on his father's food is that he did not have the courage to do it himself. Despite the fact that he is angry at his father for hiding to the truth about his birth and not making him the heir, he still sees his father as the who raised him.
It may sound hypocritical of him, but deep inside he knows that he did not want his father to die directly by his own hands.
”Remember, James. Your father didn't tell you the truth about your birth. It was me and my wife who you owe the truth from. If we didn't tell you the truth, then your father would have kept your origin in silence.” Rent reminded James without him or his wife, he will never be able to find out the truth about his birth. He wants James to feel obligated to pay back the truth that they told him.
The moment Marcus brought James into the Coleman family, many people were against it because James doesn't have the blood of a Coleman flowing in his vein. Despite what the family members are saying, Marcus stubbornly adopted James into the family with or without the people's consent.
Marcus also put a rule to everyone that no one is allowed to tell James the truth about his birth. He also said that he will be the one to tell James once the time is right. However, it seems like Marcus did not have the strength to do it, that's why Rent and his wife stepped in and started to manipulate James.
”Yes. I'm very thankful for both of you, but there is nothing we can do!” Just hearing of the fact that his father has no intention of telling him his origin makes his blood boils in anger. He has the right to know about his birth, and yet, his father chose to hide it from him.
He could not understand why would his father decided to keep things from him. During the time he is growing up under the care of his mother and father, he always felt that there is something he must know. Something that is needed to fill the void inside him.
When Rent and Marietta came and told him that he is an adopted child of Marcus, James didn't believe it. Since he was not willing to believe it, Rent brought James to the Old Mansion showed him the family tree of the Coleman family.
His little brother's name was written in it, but his name is nowhere to be found. Hesitating to believe that, Rent told him to have a DNA test with Marcus and that is what James did. When the result is out, James was having a breakdown.
At that time, he was filled with anger and sadness, and all he could think about is to make his father pay back all the lies he told him.
Noticing the little commotion that is happening on James' side, Marcus already got the feeling that his son is one of those traitors or worst might be the ring leader of everything. He might not be able to hear anything that they are saying, but their actions speak louder. It seems like they are trying to finding a way out of their problem just in case twins' evidence points towards them.
”Well? Are the two of you gonna make us wait like this?” Martha asked. Without even told to, she is already guessing who is the traitor in the family, and her heart aches for her cousin who values family more than anything else.
”Of course, not, Elder Martha. In fact, everything is ready now.” With a smile on his face, Aaron played the videotape on the screen.
James who turned his attention the TV screen is shocked to see a familiar face. ”Isaiah!” He mumbled. He heard every bit of words coming out of Isaiah's mouth. His plans and everything was told out loud to the old man in front of Isaiah.
He can't believe that for the sake of money, Isaiah sold his plans just like that. 'Isaiah, are you stupid? Why didn't you noticed that the old man in front of you is only acting.' James' hands are now trembling in anger. While Rent and Marietta are relieved that Isaiah didn't mention any of their names.
