Chapter 296 Mr. Rhys Is Coming (Part Two)
"He actually tried to stop us at first. However, after he watched the surveillance video and found out
about Marcus's plot to hurt grandpa, he immediately changed his mind. Father has repeatedly stressed
the importance of being filial to our elders. So Marcus actually dug his own grave. He would spend at
least twenty years in prison!"
Terence said, the bitterness never leaving his face. 'When Marcus gets out of prison, he will be in his
fifties. By then, even if he would be enraged with the senior family members' decision, it will be useless
for him to complain or do anything about it, ' he thought.
If Marcus had not plotted to harm Nicholas, the senior family members would not have decided to send
him to prison. At best, they would probably banish him to a remote and desolate area. They would also
restrict his freedom and financial resources. It would have been better than spending the rest of his life
in prison.
If he hadn't been cruel enough to hurt his own grandfather, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Marcus is now finally getting what he deserved! Terence, don't show him any ounce of mercy this time!
He had the nerve to try and murder his own brother and his grandpa! Such a wicked man doesn't
deserve to be forgiven!"
Carla said with a furious look on her face that Terence had never seen before.
When she remembered what had happened in NF City and how much Terence had been affected by it,
all the rage that she had kept began to rise up again. When she remembered how he almost died and
how she almost lost him, she found it hard to suppress her anger from the bottom of her heart. 'It's a
light punishment for him to stay in prison for twenty years. He should be sentenced to life
imprisonment!' she thought.
"Okay, I will do as you said. No mercy for him,"
Terence said seriously with a determined look on his face.
He might have cared about Marcus and their relationship as brothers before. But now, he wouldn't do
that anymore.
Since Marcus had hurt him in such a cruel manner, all the love and care that he had for him vanished
into thin air.
At that point, Rainer opened the door and addressed Terence in a low voice.
"Mr. Terence, Mr. Rhys is coming..."
Terence hesitated for a while before he looked up at Rainer and ordered him, "Let him in."
"Should I go? Do I need to avoid him?" Carla asked. She was a little surprised when she heard that
Rhys was coming.
With a smile, Terence leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. "No, just sit here and wait for me,"
he told her softly.
However, as soon as he got up, Rhys came in.
"Terence!"
Rhys exclaimed while he walked towards him. After giving him an embrace, Rhys said in a warm tone,
"Terence, as soon as I came back from abroad, I came over to see you!
I told myself that I needed to see with my own eyes that you were alright before I could feel at ease!"
For a long while, Rhys did not show himself to anyone. Everyone eventually thought that he was
dealing with some business. But those who knew him better had realized that he just wanted to protect
himself.
Rhys, contrary to a lot of people's opinions, was actually a smart person.
He didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Marcus and Terence. So he had always kept
them at arm's length and was very careful not to offend either of them.
As usual, he had been traveling abroad all this time while Terence and his men were busy collecting
evidence of Marcus's crimes. That way, he could stay away from their conflicts.
"Thank you, Rhys. I'm all right," Terence said with a faint smile. Then he turned to Carla who was now
sitting on the sofa.
Rhys had only just realized that Carla was there. After clearing his throat, he came over to her, smiling.
He then exclaimed, "I'm glad to see you, my future sister-in-law!"
When he saw Carla's broken leg, he looked at her full of concern and asked, "Carla, what's wrong with
your leg?"
Carla smiled awkwardly while she responded, "A few days ago I accidentally hurt my leg. But it's not
that serious. It will be healed fully if I rest for a few more days."
When Carla remembered the first time she met Terence's second brother, she couldn't help but feel
uncomfortable.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't convince herself that Rhys was a kind person.
"Oh, I see. It's good to see that you're all right," Rhys told Carla. Then he turned his attention back to
Terence and said, "Terence, there's a party tomorrow evening. I would like it if you could join us. We
haven't had a party in a long time!
You must definitely make the time to attend the party, right?
It'd be more awesome if Carla is free, then you can go together with her. If we all go to the party, we
can all have a good time. I will also invite you to dinner. Only our family will attend the party and we can
talk freely!"
Rhys looked at Terence, his eyes glowing with enthusiasm. He was waiting expectantly for Terence's
answer.
After a while, Terence replied with a smile, "Fine, since you, my brother, invited me to the party, I must
promise you that I will come either way."
"That's great! It's settled then. Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving now!" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Rhys was very glad that Terence promised to come. After saying goodbye to Terence and Carla, he left
in a joyful mood.
Carla looked at Terence with bewilderment in her eyes. Then, she frankly said, "Terence, according to
my observations, neither of your brothers is normal, am I right?"
