Chapter 389 - Revenge 390: It Has Nothing To Do With Me (2/2)

From what the twins observed earlier, the elders seem to acknowledge Martha's suggestion. In addition to that, they also decided not to go along with Martha's decision on retiring from her position. Martha is going to take responsibility for what she did in another way.

”Yes, ma'am!” The twins said at the same time.

”Martha, with that strict attitude of yours, I don't think you can win the twins' heart. Most likely, they might run away from you.” Marcus said in a teasing tone. Since their youth, Martha is the type of person who dislikes children, but despite that, she gave birth to a son, Jay, and he grew up to be a wonderful man.

Still, Martha is socially awkward to young teenagers like the twins. That is why Martha treats teenagers coldly and scold them when she sees them doing something wrong. Martha is a good person, she just doesn't know how to communicate with teenagers whose thinking is way different from hers back in their younger days.

”Capture their hearts? My purpose is not to capture their hearts, Marcus. My purpose is to have the twins be ready for the future.” Instead of giving up her position as one of the elders in the Coleman family, the other elders decided to have Martha train the twins for future purposes.

Seeing that twins' performance earlier, the elders didn't have any doubts that their family's future is already taken care of. But since the twins are still young, they need more experiences. The only person who can teach them everything that they need to learn is from Martha.

”For the future?” Anna asked in a confused tone. She has no idea where this conversation is going at, and for some reason, she felt like she doesn't want to take part in it.

”Yes. Since announcing the heir of this family to the public is coming near, I think it's only right to have Martha teach you both what you need to know.” While saying this, Marcus and the rest finally reached their destination. It has been a while since Marcus stepped foot in this room.

He still remembers the first time he stepped foot in this room. His whole being was filled with excitement, and because of that, he read every book that is in this room. He wonders what kind of feeling did the twins felt when they first stepped into this secret room.

”Wait. My dear brother is the one you have in mind to become the heir of our family, am I right? So what am I doing here? I mean, none of this has anything to do with me.” From the very beginning, Anna showed no interest in wanting to compete with her brother to become an heir, so she sees no point of being summoned to come along into this room.

”Such nonsense, young lady. Of course, it has something to do with you.” Martha spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. Her first opinion of Anna is that the only thing Anna wants is to support her brother all the way, and Martha took a liking to that part of Anna.

Competing to become an heir is quite common in the main branch of the family, and this is quite a surprise for her to know that Anna has no intention of competing with her brother. She already has a goal for her future and that doesn't involve working in the family business.

”How?” From the way Anna sound, she is clearly rejecting the decision the elders has made for her and her brother.

”First of all, it's clear that you don't have any intention of competing with your brother, and worry not, we will not force you to compete. And secondly, the only reason why I'm going to teach you too is for you to be able to support your brother in the future.” Martha explained, then she looks at Anna with a serious look on her face, ”You do want to support your brother in the future, am I right?”

”Yes. I do want to, but do I really have to go through this?” Anna is now feeling sulky of the fact she has to go under training with Martha.

Anna's main reason why she doesn't to be part of it is that she will have less time to spend with Kyle. Kyle is already busy his schedule, but if she becomes busy too, then there is no time for them to see each other at all.

Thinking that it will take a very long time to see each other again is really making Anna sad.

”Please tell me the reason why you don't want to?” From the beginning, Martha can tell that the twins have a plan to get her support, but why is Anna rejecting this opportunity to get into her good side?

”I'll have less time with Kyle if I agree to this.” Although Anna said it in a low volume, all of them in the room heard her clearly, and they don't even know how to respond to that.
