FULL NOVELXO Chapter 44
Chapter 44 He's My Elder Brother
However, it was Brian's treat today and she did not dare to decide on his behalf. Hence, she looked **** toward Brian.
It was fine had Gianna not looked at him, but once she did, she was startled by how he looked. Brian's face seemed gloomy as if a heavy downpour was about to happen. His eyes glared furiously at Silas while he pursed the corners of his lips tightly without saying a single word.
On the other hand, Silas's face was indifferent as he looked at Brian and asked, "How's your body?"
Brian's gaze turned haughty; he was the complete opposite from the warm, handsome man he was before. "What does it have to do with you?!"
Gianna was slightly shocked and looked toward Silas and then at Brian again. What relation did these two have?
Before she had a proper understanding of the entire situation, Penny opened her mouth and said, "Why are you acting like this, brother? Silas's concerned about you, so how could you say such things?" Soon after, Brian opened his mouth; his tone of voice was chilly as he spoke to Penny. "Don't call me your brother. I don't have a sister like you!"
At this moment, Silas did not wait for Penny to speak. Instead, he continued, "Whether you want to recognize her as your sister, you're still a part of the Nolan Family. Mom already passed away a long time ago, so it's better to let go of the past."
All of a sudden, Brian became agitated. He then immediately stood up; his eyes were bloodshot as he exploded, "If you want to acknowledge this, then, by all means, be my guest. However, I'm not as forgetful as you. My mom suffered from so many humiliations and I remember each and every one of them. If you're willing to enjoy all the glory and wealth by licking someone's boots, then go ahead and do it yourself. Please don't come and disgust me with all this! Now, get out of my sight!"
"What's so great about you, Brian? Who's still willing to take care of you?" Penny puffed as she dragged Silas and was about to leave.
Silas did not budge. Instead, his eyes felt heavy as he looked at Brian and asked, "Brian, Grandpa is sick. Do you have time to visit him?"
On the other hand, Brian snorted. "He's your grandpa. You can keep the opportunity to brownnose him to yourself!"
Silas gave a cold snort. He looked at both Brian and Gianna with intense eyes before leaving with Penny.
As the entire situation unfolded before her, Gianna was stunned. What exactly was happening?
She carefully looked at Brian and noticed that he was already sitting on the ground. His face remained gloomy while his entire body exuded a terrifying hostility. "A-Are you okay?"
Brian took a deep breath and remained silent. Instead, he opened up the candy box Gianna had gifted him. He then took out a candy with green wrapping, opened it, and stuffed it into his mouth. Gianna did not say anything more and sat quietly opposite him.
Perhaps it took ten minutes; perhaps it took even longer.
When Brian was about to finish eating the candy, he slowly opened his mouth and uttered, "He's my
elder brother."
Gianna was shocked to hear this. "Who are you talking about? Silas? Are you a part of the Nolan family too?"
Chapter 44 He's My Elder Brother Brian then continued, "I'm not a part of them since ten years ago." Gianna was stunned again. "Why? Erm, it's okay if you don't want to tell me." Brian's dimmed eyes looked into the distance as if he was recalling the memories from many years ago. "There's nothing I can't talk about. They're not ashamed of it anyways, so I can just say whatever I want to. The relationship between families of the wealthy is more apathetic. Only self-interests are eternal. More than ten years ago, in order to marry Penny's mother, Lara Roberts, Edward deliberately framed my mom for cheating on him so that he could divorce her. In the end, he succeeded in doing so and managed to force my mom out of the house. I still cannot figure out how a man could be so heartless." Gianna was also in disbelief. This man Brian talked about was crueler than her own dad. "Were the Roberts wealthy?" Brian took a deep breath before adding, "Yes. They're loaded. Even more so than the Nolan Group. I was twelve years old that year. Silas and I knew that our mom was being framed in this incident. However, we did not have evidence. Hence, I discussed with Silas that by the time the divorce rolled around, we would have to choose our mom as a way of supporting her. Nonetheless, I did not expect that he would choose to follow Edward after their divorce."
