The Princess and the Pauper

Half an hour later. The family of four of Lucas was invited to Reflections Villa. Bernard and Cornelia sat in the main seats of the living room, their faces with anger and disappointment. On the sofa to the left were Kenneth and Louisa, looking as calm as the eerie stillness before a storm. To the right sat Arabella, her expression unreadable. Romeo knew what followed was a private matter for the Collins family, and as an outsider, he had excused himself half an hour earlier. The five brothers came in one after another, each carrying designer shopping bags from various brands. Jewelry and valuables were dumped onto the coffee table, quickly piling up into a glittering mound along with the family of four's passports, bank cards, and other personal items. Bernard was livid, striding over to his second son and grabbing handfuls of the jewelry, hurling it at him with fury. Alma was petrified, wondering what exactly had happened and why her grandfather was so angry. "You ungrateful wretch!" Bernard's voice trembled with rage. "You think you can escape after everything's been exposed? To think I, Bernard Collins, raised someone like you." It seemed his anger was insatiable, and he struck Lucas across the face several times. Lucas kept his head down the entire time, not once lifting his gaze. Alma, however, became anxious. "Grandpa." “Shut up." Bernard's furious voice sent chills through the family. Especially Alma, who was utterly shocked. Never in her life had her grandfather spoken to her in such a tone, let alone yelled at her in anger. Bernard was too angry for words. He glared at his son and then turned his gaze to Beverly, his anger turning to a bitter laugh. "Well, the two of you are quite the pair. I, Bernard Collins, have lived a good long life, and never thought I'd be played for a fool by my own son and daughter-in-law." "Murder, arson, hiring hitmen, money laundering. What is it you two haven't done?" Bernard's roar was like thunder, leaving Frederica and Alma completely shocked. How could their parents. With a crisp sharp, Cornelia stepped forward and slapped Beverly across the face.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
