Reborn: Revenge - Volume 2: High School Year Arc Chapter 527 Revenge 528: They Are Not Going To Help

On their way back to Coleman’s company building, Stan curiously ask Arion, “What is the deal going there anyway?”

As far as Stan knows, Arion is not the type to deal with people like Franklin’s family personally. He knew that Arion would make his move, but he believed that Arion would just send someone else to do it for him.

Arion stayed silent for a moment, thinking if he should tell Stan. What Franklin told him somehow involves the Robertson family. ‘I guess it wouldn’t hurt to share.’ Arion inwardly said.

“I went there personally because I want to confirm if they are truly connected with the Ricci family, and as you know, the Ricci family has been quite the troublesome group these days.” Before their children were born, Stan already knew about the Ricci family. In fact, he had made contact with one of them. He wasn’t as nice as he is now.

He was at the phase were rebelled against his father a lot when he was young. His father at that time does not believe in what he is capable of. As a young teenage kid, Stan goes on ways to make his father acknowledge him.

One of those ways was getting himself involved with the Ricci family. He knew that they were a bunch of dangerous people and he wasn’t supposed to talk to any of them. But he did not care, he still went out and continue getting involving himself with them.

“I can’t believe that those bastards are still around. What do they want this time?” After meeting his wife, it changed him. Stan did everything just to get away from getting involved, and it was a tough rough.

Stan can say that it was luck that Arion and Mary were around to help him out. Since then he owes the Coleman couple gratitude of debt.

“They want my children for their own benefits. To be more precise, it’s for their experiments.” Just thinking that his children will become guinea pigs for their experiments makes his blood boils in anger. They have already done that to his wife, and he is not gonna let them do the same thing to his children. Arion can’t wait for the day when getting his hands around the neck of Mary’s father.

“The Ricci family already have everything that they want. Power, wealth, name it all, they got it. Why do they need more?” Every time that Stan hears the Ricci family, he always wonders what do they get out of the things they have been doing.

“I don’t know and I don’t care about their reason. They have been like that since the beginning their family has risen.” Arion does not care about the reason behind their actions, all he cares about is to get them away from his family as far away as possible.

“Well, since we’re going to be a family in the future. I will help you go against them.” Stan puts his thumbs up and smiled confidently at Arion.

Arion, on the other hand, gave Stan an annoyed look. “Family? Nonsense. Don’t get your hopes up, Stan. My daughter and your son’s future together is not set in stone yet, and I am not about to let that happen.”

“Come on, when will you give up? Your daughter is stubborn, so is mine. Even if everything is not sure yet, do you really think that you can keep them apart from each other at this moment?” Even if Arion did manage to lock Anna in some secluded place, his son, Kyle, will find a way to find her no matter what. That is how important Anna is in his son’s life.

“It’s annoying how deep your son has fallen for my daughter. It’s giving me the creep.” Arion can’t help but somehow blame himself for the reason why Kyle has gotten this far. The first time he met Kyle, he gave that brat advice. If he had known about this from the beginning that Kyle was talking about Anna, then he should have said the opposite of his advice.

“You talk as if you didn’t do the same thing towards Mary.”

“What are we gonna do now? Our company, our fortunes are all gone.” Franklin’s wife kept on crying and crying, while on the other hand, Franklin stared into the ceiling. What happened took on his energy. He did not expect all of this to happen in one go.

“Shut it. You and your daughter are the reason why we are in this situation in the first place. If you had just shut your mouth and discipline your daughter, none of this would have happened.” The only people Franklin can blame for this miserable moment is his wife and daughter.

Erica wanted to rebuke back, but she could not find the right words. The moment Arion left the manor, that is when she finally realized her mistake. She was only protecting her daughter. Is defending her daughter is the wrong thing to do? Of course, it is not wrong. But she did too much, she has been blind about everything that her daughter has done that she did not realize how far Veronica has fallen deep in the bad side.

“How about the Ricci family? Can’t we ask them to help us out?” Veronica’s last hope lies within the help of the Ricci family. Just one word from them, then everything changes. They can still turn the table around and have their revenge.

“You’re right! Let’s call them! I have their number on my phone.” Erica excitedly said and calls the number saved in her contacts.

Franklin only watched the two. It doesn’t excite him to hear that name coming out of their mouth. He already knew the answering they are going to get. ‘What is the point of calling them? If there was, I would have called them moments ago.’

“Yes? Who is this?” A woman’s voice was heard at the other end of the line, and Erica can tell that this woman is annoyed. Nevertheless, no matter what kind of a mood this woman is in, it does not matter. She will do what she intended to do.

“This is Erica Lace, wife of Franklin Lace. Listen, I need your help-”

“Lace? Ah, the Lace family who got its company ruin in just a day. No. The Ricci family will not help you.” The woman coldly said to her.

“B-but why? After all the things that my family has done for the Ricci family, why would you turn your back on us?!” Erica has no idea what is exactly her husband is doing for the Ricci family, but she does know that her husband has been pleasing them for a while.

All this time, she thought that the Ricci family owes her family.

“You got some nerves asking for help from us. Did your husband not tell you that we don’t help people like you? Once you are in ruin, we don’t give a damn about it.” As soon as she said that, the call immediately ended. Leaving Erica and Veronica wordless.

Their hopes immediately faded away like a bubbled. They both glance at Franklin, but he only scoffed at them for their foolishness.

“Dad, you’re not even gonna do anything?” Veronica asked. She is quite annoyed that her father seems to be nonchalant about their situation.

“What is there for me to do? You and your mother did great damage, there is no way for me to fix it. And if there is even another way, I don’t think I want to fix it. I’m done fixing your mess.”

~~~

“Nathalia, did you do this?” Lannie asked. She was browsing her phone, then she suddenly saw the news about the company Veronica’s father owned. From what the article said, the company is now ruined and the reason behind it is unknown.

The only person that she could think of is Nathalia who she asked for help.

Nathalia took Lannie’s phone and read the article. She looked surprised. “I didn’t do this, and my skills are not that great to create this mess.” While reading the article, Nathalia felt a bit bitter. ‘Someone took my prey. How annoying.’

“Hmm… it must be Anna’s father then.”

“My father? What did my father do this time?” Anna who accidentally overhear that conversation suddenly got curious. Anna glanced at the phone in Nathalia’s hand and saw the title of the article. Without knowing all the details, Anna already knows the answer to her question. “Now everyone will accuse me of this.” She said.

“Accuse you? Why would they accuse you?” Lannie asked confusedly. Anna didn’t do anything wrong. It was Arion who made all this possible.

“Well, my confrontation with Veronica only happened yesterday, then suddenly, this happened? What do you think people will have in mind?” As a part of the Coleman family and the only favored daughter in the family, people believe that she is a pampered princess and whatever she wishes will be granted.

Anna can already imagine what kind of rumors will be flying around by tomorrow. ‘Damn it. Those annoying flies will believe that I asked my parents to do this. And I will look like the bad person here.’
