Chapter 537 - Revenge 538: Importance To His Plan (1/2)
”You want to meet us first? Why would you want that? Compare to our parents, my brother, and I are powerless. We can't do anything for you.” Anna frowned.
So far, from what she heard from Keith, he needed help to get away from the Ricci family's grasp. Whether or not he is telling the truth that he is being targeted, he should not have approached her or her brother.
This kind of move only made Anna more suspicious of him. 'I wonder what made Leon trust this guy. How can he even trust him?' She inwardly said.
”As you two already know, the Ricci family, more specifically, your grandfather, wants both of you. What's the reason? I don't know. They didn't want to share that secret with me. Meeting you two first is on purpose. I want to know why your grandfather wants the both of you so badly.” Ever since the twins' grandfather got to know about their existence, all Keith hears about is the twins from that old man's mouth.
That old man keeps saying that he will get the twins over and over again. It is almost like an obsession, which made him wonder what is so special about the twins.
Looking at the twins up and down, he said, ”Hmm... I don't see anything special, though.” He mumbled. So far, he doesn't see anything that had taken that old man's interest in the twins. However, he does believe that if he stays long enough to observe the twins, he might figure out this mystery.
”First of all, that person you're talking about, we don't recognize him as my grandfather. He's the reason why my mother was hurting in the past. Second of all, can you tell us already your reason for showing up, so that I can this to my parents right away?” Aaron said in an annoyed tone.
Every time Keith says that the old man is his and Anna's grandfather, it boils his blood. It reminds him that no matter how many times he convinces himself that he has no connection with the Ricci family, the blood that flows within him always connects with that cursed family.
”Heh. I like you.” Keith smiled, then glances at Leon. ”Leon, I like him. I might get along with him!”
Keith sounded so excited, which made Leon sighed inwardly. When Keith reached out to him, he was surprised and suspicious about what he wants from him. Other than his boss and his boss's wife, no one would be able to reach out to him without using any means. To think that Keith could manage to get him in contact, it could mean that Keith is much capable than what his outer appearance makes him out to be.
When Leon went out and met with him, Keith reminded him of his boss. 'Why can't he act in front of the twins the way he did towards me before?' He inwardly asks.
”Are seriously gonna fool around and not go straight to the point?” Anna asked. Her patience is slowly decreasing the longer Keith tries to drag their conversation longer than what is needed.
”Oh! I like you too!”
”Keith! That's enough! There are some people here. I mean, most people here have something else to do. Please don't waste our time with you fooling around like this!” Leon's patience has finally burst. Leon is the one who set the time for this secret meeting. From the beginning to the end, it was all set. He purposely did it this way because he has other places to go. If he doesn't show up at his appointed time, the twins' father will surely be onto him.
”Okay. Geez! No need to be so angry.”

Keith started to tell Anna and Aaron about what happened before he ran away. Keith did not deny the fact that he did a lot of bad things. He also shared that he is put on a mission to keep an eye on the Coleman family.
He would have continued to do so if the Ricci family did not kill the only person who is very important to him, his mother.
All of the members of the Ricci family only care about themselves and their achievements. They were taught that way, but his mother was different. Despite being trained to be cold-hearted, she gave him a lot of love and kept him away as much as possible from the bad things that were being taught in the Ricci family.
