Juan froze on the spot, he did not expect Anna to mention the security camera footage. He specifically chose that cafe to meet up with Rebecca because there is no security camera inside, but he did notice that there is one outside the cafe.If the twins are going to check the footage, then Marcus will see who went in and out of the cafe. He and Rebecca came out of the cafe holding each other"s hands. Marcus will see that scene and there is no chance for him to escape.
Juan looks at Anna"s direction and saw she"s bending her head down; in his view, it looks like Anna is about to cry, but Juan knows that she is only acting like in front of her grandfather.
Despite that, it is clear to him that Anna is driving him to a corner, but there is one thing that Juan couldn"t understand. Why is it that Anna is not even nervous about what Marcus will see in the footage?
In Juan"s understanding, he is not the only one who will get into trouble once Marcus sees the footage; Anna will also get in trouble. Marcus will discover that his granddaughter lied to him about not having a date with Kyle.
As Juan is processing his thoughts, a realization came into his mind. "There"s no way she could have done that."
At first, it did not make any sense because Anna knows that she was also in the footage, but thinking back from the beginning, there was no hint of nervousness in Anna"s eyes. She was calm and know what she is doing. "This must mean that she erased the part where she came in and out of the cafe with Kyle."Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Seeing that reaction from Juan, Aaron smirk, "You think you can get away just by saying you love my sister? Hmph! Well, think again, dumba.s.s!"
"Juan, tell us the place where you saw my sister and Kyle, so we can get this matter over with," Aaron asked.
Juan only looks at him with hatred in his eyes. If he tells them where he saw Anna, then he will be found out too. Whether he tells them the location or not, he will still look like a person who is trying to ruin the relations.h.i.+p between Marcus and Anna.
"I, I..." Tongue-tied; he couldn"t think properly. All his thoughts are scattered around. The excuse that he thought of earlier is now gone. It has become useless when Anna and Aaron mentioned the camera footage.
"That reaction of yours, it seems to me that you are making up stories about my granddaughter."
Marcus is utterly disappointed at Juan; as Juan was growing up, he had supported him, teach him things that will help him succeed in life, and yet, this same person is trying to ruin his relations.h.i.+p with his granddaughter. "Is this how you repay me, Juan?" Marcus asked inwardly.
"No! Why would I do that?!"
"Why would you do that? It"s simple really..." Aaron started, "It"s either you"ve become greedy for wealth or you have some other objective in mind or maybe both, who knows what"s running in that mind of yours."
The more Aaron speak, the more it makes sense for Marcus to figure out Juan"s real motive on wanting to publicly announce the engagement early.
Juan knows that if Marcus announces the engagement to the public, then cancels it afterward; it is going to be a huge headache as the press tries to find answers from them, and false rumors will start to circulate. It will surely damage the name of the Colemans if that happens, and the only way for that not happen is to not cancel the engagement.
"There is no need for it, Aaron. It is clear to me that Juan is lying right in front of my face." For Marcus, it will only waste everyone"s time if they have to check the security camera footage when it is clear as daylight that Juan is trying to ruin the bond between him and his granddaughter.
"This—"
Before Juan can even finish his sentence, Marcus interrupted him, "Say no more! I have enough with your lies! I want you to start packing your things because starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to step inside this mansion or any other buildings that are related to the Colemans! You are on your own now, Juan." Burning in anger, Marcus left the living room, leaving Juan in shock.
Juan did not expect things to escalate this way. He only thought that if he were caught on trying to break the bond between Anna and Marcus, he will only be sent away. He truly did not expect Marcus to throw him out of the Colemans.
"Now everything is settled..." Mary said with a smile on her face, "Twins, it"s already late, time for you two to sleep, and as for you, Juan, you better start packing now. Trust me, you don"t want to anger my father-in-law tomorrow early in the morning."
With nothing else to say, Mary left and went straight to her study office with a satisfied smile plastered on her face.
The only people who are left in the living room is the twins and Juan. They were silent, but after a few seconds later, Juan glared at the twins.
"You do know that glaring at me and my brother won"t do anything, right?" Anna said in a provoking tone.
Anna and Aaron stood up and look down at Juan who is sitting at the couch, full of resentment in his eyes.
In her past life, at that dreadful day, it was Juan and Rebecca who looks down on her, and it was she who has that same resentment engrave in her eyes. "Too bad Rebecca is not here."
Somehow, Anna has not felt the satisfaction in her heart; it is not enough to look down on Juan, she wants Juan to suffer more than she did in her past life.
"I will prove to your grandfather about you and Kyle." He said threateningly, but Anna only looks at him as if he is the most ridiculous being the world.
"Go ahead, I don"t mind one bit." Anna said with a smile on her face, "Grandpa will get mad, that"s for sure, but I won"t get kicked out of the Coleman family." Anna is already prepared to face her grandfather"s anger once he finds out that she lied about not being with Kyle earlier; that is Juan"s threat meant nothing to her.
"You heard my sister, your threat means nothing to her, so you better come up with better threats, okay?" Though, even if Juan comes up with a better threat against Anna, Aaron won"t let Juan touch a single hair on his sister.
Anna and Aaron were about to go to their rooms, but Anna turns around and faces Juan again. Anna made a fist and it went straight to Juan"s face with full force. Once again, Juan is in utter shock; he is now on the floor, sitting still on the spot while holding his swollen face.
"Hoo! That feels great!" Anna said with a large smile on her face. Since the moment Juan showed up, Anna has been itching to do that, and today was finally the day she released that itch of hers.
