Chapter 508 - Revenge 509: Suspended

"I'm so sorry about my parents' behavior." Anna feels ashamed that Kyle has to see her parents arguing like that.

Kyle is the guest of their manor, and she has been thought that no matter who it is as long as it's the guest of the Colemans, she should behave accordingly. And yet her mother and father did the exact opposite of what she expecting them to act.

"It's alright, and honestly, my parents are like that too." It might not seem too obvious, but Kyle's parents do argue the same way from time to time. By now, he is used to it, so he does not mind seeing Anna's parents' other personalities.

In fact, he is happy to learn more about his girlfriend's parents. The more he learns about her family, the more he felt like he is a part of their family too.

"I can imagine your father acting like that, but your mother? I can't picture her like that." After her visits from the Robertson mansion, Anna learned quite a few things about Kyle's father. He is very different from how the public sees him.

As for Kyle's mother, Anna sees no difference from how the public sees her and how she is in private. 'I wonder there will be a day I will another side of her.' Anna momentarily pondered.

"Well, you'll see. When the time comes you will see a whole new side of my mother. She's quite fun to be with." 

Anna smiled when she heard Kyle said that. It's rare for Kyle to talk about his family whenever they are together, and whenever he does mention them, Anna has this curiosity inside of her that she can't shake off.

'He may not look like it, but he does care for his family deeply.' He inwardly said, then she wrapped her arms around his.

She feels comfortable walking side by side with Kyle in the garden like this. It almost makes her feel like she's living in a fairy tale world. Everything seems so perfect to the point she didn't wanna leave this momentary world.

While Anna and Kyle are having their moment together, there is one person from the second is watching them and there is a smile plastered on his face.

"It's still morning and you two are already showing your love all around the manor." He mumbled, but the butler behind him heard him loud and clear.

Butler Michael glances at where his Master is staring at, and unconsciously he revealed a smile. Whenever his Young Mistress shows that beautiful smile of hers, he can't but be extremely happy. If there is one thing he wishes for, that would be he wanted the Coleman family to live happily now and forever.

The Coleman family is the only family that he is willing to anything for just to keep their smiles intact, especially Anna's.

"Master Marcus, shall I prepare your breakfast?" Butler Michael asked.

"Yes, and please bring it here."

Since Butler Michael and Marcus practically grew up together, the butler is not afraid to express his thoughts towards Marcus. "Master, pardon me, but don't you think it's quite inappropriate to spy on your granddaughter like that?"

"I know, but I want to," Marcus said without even batting an eye. Butler Michael can only shake his head in disappointment. His master can't even say a reasonable excuse to him. He is just doing what he wants just like always.

Even if his master does have an excuse, it is still inappropriate to spy on Anna and Kyle. As a matter of fact, no matter what the situation is, spying on others is not his master or anyone else should do.

"Master, the Young Mistress will hate you..." Butler Michael tries to change Marcus's mind by saying that Anna will hate him if she happens to learn about this.

"She won't hate me when she doesn't even know what I did." A smile appeared in Marcus' face. That smile is like saying to Butler Michael that he better not say a word about this to Anna.

Butler Michael sighed and said, "As you wish, Master."

Even if Marcus didn't signal him or say a word about it, he still wouldn't say a word to Anna. He may be serving every member of the Coleman family, but whole loyalty belongs to one person only, and that would be Marcus Coleman.

Without further ado, Butler Michael left the room and went to prepare Marcus' breakfast.

"Instead of staying here around the mansion, why don't the two of you go and have fun outside?" Mary suggested to Anna and Kyle.

"But Anna said that she can't go out today because today you're going to decide what kind of punishment you will throw at her."

When Kyle read Anna's message yesterday, he wishes to be the one in Anna's shoes. He doesn't want Anna to get hurt even if it means that she deserves it. But he is not going to say what he thinks to Anna.

He knows that when it comes to her family's organization and problems, she wants to face the consequences of her action head-on, even if it means that she will get hurt physically and mentally. That's one of the things that he likes about her, she's very brave.

"Wha-" Mary is somewhat speechless when she heard that. "Well, I did say that, but what's stopping the two of you from going out?" 

Mary is confused. She admits that she said that she will be announcing the children's' punishment today, but she never said that they are forbidden to go out. 'How much of a misunderstanding did they got from what I said yesterday?' She inwardly asked.

"Isn't the punishment supposed to be physical?" Ophius slowly asked.

"Goodness, gracious! That is such a huge misunderstanding! Do I look like the type to do that?" As soon as Mary asked that question, everyone went in silence. They don't know what kind of answer should they say to her. 

Realizing the mistake in her question, Mary rephrased her words. "I do punish some people physically and mentally, however, it's only towards people who are our enemies and traitors. To those who are on our side, if they make a mistake, the punishment is either they are kicked out of the organization or be suspended until further notice."

"Wait. If that's the case, then why Lucia and I are not allowed to go home yesterday?"

"Please. Don't think I don't know what kind of person your fathers are. Like seriously, do you really want to go home when they are mad?" Instead of saying anything else, Mary would rather like to hear Lucia and Ophius thanking her for saving their ears from getting scolded by their parents.

Thinking about it more deeply, Ophius now understands that situation that he is in now. Sure he got scolded by Mary either way, but his father's mouth is nonstop and he feels like it's not gonna stop until his ears popped.

"So... what is the punishment?" Aaron asked.

"Normally, if you don't follow the protocol, you'll get suspended for a year." The four people who got themselves in trouble were shocked to hear that, and they felt like that everything they worked hard for is falling apart. "But since you guys did manage to get something very useful for our organization, you guys will be suspended for two months."

Although two months feel like a very long time for the four of them, they would rather take that than being suspended for a whole year. Not doing anything for a whole year is like killing them on the inside.

They want to move around and feel the thrill. The organization is the only place they could find to have the thrill that they want.

After listening to all that and understanding them, Kyle stood up and said, "Well then, since that's the case, Anna and I will have a fun time outside of this mansion."

Without waiting for anyone to say a word to them, especially Arion, Kyle dragged Anna out and immediately drove away from the Coleman mansion. If he waited for another second, he's afraid that Anna's father will stop them from leaving.

He knows he has to be on Arion's good side, but it's been a while since it's just him and Anna alone.

"That punk! How dare he kidnapped Anna!" Arion angrily said.

"Arion, just drop it." Marcus' voice was suddenly heard from behind. Arion turned around and saw his father shaking his head at him. "You did the same thing to Mary back then, what gave you the right to say that?"

Back when Arion was courting Mary, Arion literally took Mary out without Harrison's permission. And what Arion just said was the same words Harrison said back then.

'Now you know what it feels, Arion.' Marcus inwardly said.

"But... but that time is different from this time!" Arion tried to come up with proper words, but he could not think of anything else because he is too guilty.

"It might be so, but the situation is the same."
