Chapter 425 - Revenge 426: Slacking Off

"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!"

After safely arriving at their destination, Anna and Aaron immediately run off towards their grandfather's bedroom. They saw him unconscious on the bed with the doctor right beside him, checking his pulse. The doctor told the twins that their grandfather fainted because of extreme anger.

After hearing the doctor's words, Aaron called out everyone who is working at the mansion.

"Just because the butler of the house and Nanny Tess are not around that doesn't mean all of you should be slack off on giving of us, your bosses, information about what's happening in this mansion." Anna's voice sounds cold, colder than Marcus' voice when he is angry.

It made the workers tremble in fear. They knew that the young lady of the house has changed, but they never thought that she would change like this.

"B-But the Elder Master said that w-we don't have to call a-any of you." One of the maids said. From the way she speaks, she is not even confident in the word she is saying.

"You know, it is really annoying to think that you are lying in front of my face and you are not even confident at words." Everyone in the mansion knows that Aaron is not a very big fan of people who lies in front of him, and they know that the people who lie to him will have to expect that they will have no next in the mansion. "You should have at least make me believe in you were saying."

Since the young master of the house has seen through her lie, the young maid couldn't help but tremble in fear. Slowly, she is starting to feel that she does not have enough strength to support herself, and she also feels that there is no more tomorrow for her here in the Coleman mansion.

Seeing the expression on the maid's face, Anna knew exactly what she is thinking and the maid sure is right because that is what is going to happen today.

Without anyone noticing, there are two people entered the front door, Jay and Martha. Noticing that there is a heavy air that surrounds where the twins and the workers are, the mother and son pair decided to stay on their spot and watch the whole scene.

"Brother, do you want me to say it to them?" Anna asked.

"No. Let me do it."  Aaron showed them a smile, a smile that reminds most people in the room that the Colemans are not the people should mess with. "Since the master and the mistress of the house are not around and obviously, the elder master of the house is not in the right condition. As such, I, the young master of the house is in control of everything that is going on in this mansion."

This is the first time that Aaron that he would like to use his title to do everything that he wants. Usually, he would do things after he has proven to everyone that he is worthy of it.

He doesn't want to be the type of person who solely relies on his family fortune to get things done. However, these people in front of him are making him be that person.

"By tomorrow, I want all of you to be out of this mansion. And if I see a glimpse of your shadow, better be prepared that you won't be able to work to any other places." With a cold stone voice and a very serious expression, Aaron made sure that everyone heard him.

It might seem that Aaron is being unfair for being too hasty in his decision, but for him, in this case, he doesn't care. All he can think about right now is the big mistake the workers did today.

"That's a big hasty decision you're making over there, young master." It's clear as day that Martha is amused at the show she just watched.

Turning his head around, Aaron sees Jay and Martha coming towards him. "Whatever's the consequences is, I do not care. All I care about is the fact that these people didn't do their job properly."

"We know. We heard everything over there." Jay is also amused at the fact that Aaron is making him remember the one time that Arion blew off steam like that. "I say, that you are more worthy to be the next master of this mansion. I'm quite impressed."

"If you dislike my brother's decision, Elder Martha. I suggest that you forget trying to make him rethink his decision because I support his decision and we're going to stick to it."
