Chapter 425 - Revenge 426: Slacking Off (1/2)
”My guess was right. I can't believe how easily that bastard James can be swayed.” It is clear on her tone that she is extremely angry, but aside from that, the twins are a bit shock to hear their uncle James' name.
”What do you mean by that, Mom? What did cousin James do again this time?” Jay was never been close to James back then, and it really did surprise him to learn that James is harboring such thoughts towards the Coleman family.
”He-!” Before Martha can even finish her sentence, she looks at the twins and asked, ”What are the two of you doing here?” With the news that she just received, she thinks that the twins should not be here and that they should somewhere else.
”Uh... because we're told about a week ago that we are supposed to be here under your care every day after school. You know, training.” Aaron replied. He is not quite if Martha is asking a trick question or a serious question, but either way, his answer is right. At least in his opinion.
”What? No. I mean, yes.” Martha felt that her headache suddenly got worse once she heard that answer form Aaron. ”What I mean is that shouldn't the two of being with your grandfather right now?” Martha will perfectly understand if the twins didn't come today because, at this very moment, Marcus really needs his family at his side.
”What do you mean by that?” Anna asked, then she turned around to face her brother. ”What does she mean by that? Didn't you just told me that there is nothing wrong with our grandfather?”
At every second that is passing by right at this moment, Anna's heart is beating fast. She has no idea what is going on with her grandfather, and because of that, she's slowly remembering the of a certain in her past life, the day she saw her grandfather coffin getting buried underground.
”Last time I check, before I went to school today, he was fine. I did not notice anything. And if something did happen after I left home, someone should have called us.” Aaron is just upset as Anna is. His heart is also beating fast to the point that it's making him think for the worst-case scenario.
”What's the supposed to mean?” Martha asked with a frown plastered on her face.
”Our parents are currently busy with their work, and obviously, they also have no idea what happened because they are out of the mansion the whole day the same as me. And apparently, no one at the mansion didn't bother to tell us anything!” At this point, Aaron is furious.
”What happened to our grandfather, Elder Martha?” Anna anxiously asked.
Looking at the expressions that twins are giving to her, Martha can't help but sigh. It truly seems like they have no idea what really happened. ”I don't have the exact details of what really happened, but when I was talking to him over the phone, he was not breathing normally.”
Martha wanted to go right away to check on Marcus. However, she was caught up with everything and had to go home to change her clothing.
”You know what? I'm done talking.” Aaron declared. ”Anna, let's go. We don't have the luxury to stay here pondering about what happened to Grandfather.” Without saying anything else, Aaron pulled Anna out of the mansion.
After the twins disappeared from their sight, Jay started to speak. ”Mom, are you sure that something bad happens to uncle Marcus and you're not just making the worriedly crazy about their grandfather, right?”
Since Aaron is the one driving, Jay is somewhat worried that Aaron might drive the car way too fast and might cause himself and Anna in an accident. 'Young kids these days can quite troublesome.' Jay inwardly comment.
”Jay, do you really think that your mother is capable of joking such a thing?” Martha spoke in a sarcastic manner. ”Also, get the car ready. We're going to the Coleman mansion after I change my clothes.”
”Roger that, Mother.”

”What do you people think my parents pay all you for?! Huh?!” Aaron shouted the moment he discovered what happened to his grandfather. ”All of you have one single thing to do on this matter, call us! My grandfather's family members!”
