Chapter 166 - Revenge 165: Foul Move

"Before I say anything, mind if I ask you two questions first?"

"Ask ahead, elder."

After seeing the file, two questions are running in his head, "The first question, how did you know Juan?" Nathalia and Anna couldn't get through the file, so, how did they know about the existence of Matteo?

"My grandfather introduced him to me as my soon-to-be husband," Anna said in a bitter tone. When Nathaniel heard that, he was surprised. So surprised that he did not know what to say. "A long time ago, Juan saved my grandfather's life, and I think as a return, my grandfather supported Juan. At that time, I think Juan was 10."

The part where Anna said that her grandfather supported a 10-year-old child is a no surprising fact for Nathaniel. For all the years that he had known Marcus, Marcus always has a soft spot for children no matter how cold-hearted he might seem to others. 'This is quite a fate that the Colemans have.'

"Now that the first question is over, here comes the second one..." Nathaniel's face has gotten serious after saying that. "Why do you badly want to know about Juan's parent?" Even if Nathaniel wants to tell Anna the whole story behind Matteo's parents, he can't because he wants a valid reason from her if she wants him to tell her everything.

"Because he is harboring evil thoughts to my family. How can I be so sure? I have been keeping an eye on him since the day he set foot on the Coleman mansion. Secretly having a meeting with Mr. June, and giving Mr. June a big sum of money is not a good sign."

What everything Anna just said is all the truth; she indeed has been keeping an eye on Juan. Even though she got all this information to bring Juan down, it is still not enough because Juan is an expert now in manipulating her grandfather's mind. That is why she wants to have all cards in hand to fend off Juan's lame excuses to her grandfather.

"Whatever those two are planning is not gonna do any good to my brother. And we both don't want anything to happen to my brother, correct? After all, Aaron Coleman is the rightful heir in both the organization and the Coleman Corporation."

Using Aaron's name in front of an elder is Anna's trump card. She knows very well how the elders put so much effort into cultivating her brother's skills. She also knows that the elders don't want their efforts to be in vain that's why if there is a threat towards the heir, the elders will surely make their move to eliminate it. Besides using her brother's name is not a big of a deal to make Nathalia's grandfather speak because her brother is somewhat involved in the Juan situation anyway.

Nathaniel smirked and said, "Using your twin brother's name is a foul move, and yet at the same time, a good one." Somehow Nathaniel can see the person behind Aaron in the future; the person who will help him behind the shadows. 'Mary, you sure have given birth to a quite unpredictable duo.'

Anna shrugs, "What can I say? I can't get the answer that I want if I did not use one of my cards."

Hearing that response from Anna, he coldly laughs at her, which can send shivers to whoever hears it. "You're quite bold, princess. But I like that, quite beneficial to the organization that you Colemans are so proud of." Like Aaron, Anna also has the edge of a Coleman. She may look like she doesn't bite, but looks can be very deceiving. "Now sit properly, and I'll tell you everything."

"I can finally relax! I couldn't believe that your grandfather could be so intimidating when he talks seriously." It took Nathaniel quite a while when he was telling Anna everything about the file. And after Nathaniel was done telling Anna everything he went off somewhere else.

Anna was listening to him very carefully, but at the same time, she was nervous because of the tone Nathaniel is using. 'Why can't that old man speak in a normal way? I almost thought that I couldn't breathe.'

"And I can't believe that you act too boldly in front of my grandfather. I can't even do that." Nathalia said as she shivers at the thought if she were to act boldly at her grandfather, the consequences for her will be dire.

Anna scoffed at Nathalia and said, "Please, your grandfather is nothing compare to my grandfather. He's more intimidating." Whenever Marcus is angry or talks very serious, Anna would always avoid being near her grandfather.

"Well... If you put it that way, I guess you are right."

Anna took out her phone, and looking at the time now Anna felt an urge of excitement. "I have to go now, Nathalia. I gotta hurry back and see my brother."

"Are you gonna tell Aaron everything that my grandfather told you?" Though the answer in her question is obvious, Nathalia still asked Anna.

"That's one of my reason for hurrying back," Anna said with a sweet smile on her face. Back in her past life, Anna remembers that her brother brought someone home, and she is excited to see that someone again in this second life of hers.

Without waiting for Nathalia's reply, Anna already hopped on the car and went off. "Why does she gets so excited about seeing her brother? They practically see one another every day."

Nathalia knows how much Anna loves her twin brother, but Anna and Aaron live in the same house, so why is Anna so excited to see her brother? 'If I were her, I would get tired of seeing Aaron every day.'

Meanwhile, at the Coleman mansion, Marcus is facing a young man in his study office.

"What it is that you want this time?" Marcus said in a calm voice. This young man in front is truly amusing him. So daring of this young man to come and face him head-on with nothing but confidence in him.

"Recently, my grandfather told me his side of the story, and I would like to hear yours if you don't mind?" The young man said with a smile on his face.
