Chapter 3
At the ancestral house of White. Shouting could be heard across the whole mansion. "What the hell are you thinking!!!!! I already said that it wasn't mine!!!! is the DNA test isn't enough to prove my point to that f**king brain of yours!!!! Even more so you could have just run a test of tour own!!! Not send fucking murderers that could have end my brother and my two nephews life!!!" Gerald White, the current head of white family, shouted at his wife after hearing the news. His brother already informed him about everything that happened at his house.
He was angered by the fact that his wife cause this kind of thing. He couldn't help but think about how traumatized his nephews were, and the fact that his own brother could have died. A cold sensation run down his spine remembering the pictures and surveillance footage that his brother sent to him and their father.
His wife not daring to talk about anything. She just hang her head, when a loud bang rang through the whole living room, the mansion's door forcefully opened by a couple in their sixties that walk fast, only to stop at the arguing couple.
With a loud snap, Michelle was thrown off to the ground by the heavy slap she received from her mother in law. "I have never been disappointed and distress in my entire life!!! You could've killed and dismembered my youngest son and grandchildren by a fact that has no proof or any basis of existance!!!" her calm but cold voice sent the temperature terribly low.
"Do have any idea about how my two grandchildren doing right now!! After experiencing that b**ody night!! Do any of your working brain cell knew where they are now!!" Elizabeth White took her phone out, putting a video in play. She then grab Michelle's hair forcing her to look at the scene where a pair of twin hugging each other while shivering at the corner of a room, their eyes moist. As if any moment now they would have cried. "There look. Do you see the consequence of what you have done."
Michelle flinched at the pain, but bit her lips not daring to say anything. George White the previous head of the house, Father of Gerald and Greyson White, suddenly said "In this house the first ever thing that you would have notice upon entering is the family's rule and values. First, do not fight for anything that could cause the entire family to collapse. Second, do not kill anyone for the sake of inherenting the family's headship. Third, let any child choose their own path after they graduated in both the public and family's education. That's how this family works that has been explained and drilled for three hundred years. Not once this family cause such disturbing scene." Cold light flash through his eyes. He still couldn't get over at the look on his grandchildren's face, the terror they forcefully hide inside their eye.
The room regain its silince when a tapping sound echo through the room from the second floor of the mansion, accompany by soft footsteps. Grant White, appeared supported by his walking cane and his faithful butler at his side, Miles.
He look down at the scene below, "Greetings father/grandfather" the three greeted him with Michelle still not speaking any word. "Michelle Selvan. With the power as the oldest living White, i, upon the name that runs through our blood, hereby anounce your removal at the family ancestry as the wife of Gerald White and mother of his children. You or any from your family shall not step from any land the White's own. Removing any power or authority you and your family have from any company the White's own, any properties that has been given shall be returned. Your accounts that hold any money earned from us shall be froze." Orders rang out one by one while Miles taking notes of it preparing to sent it to the family's attorney.
Michelle collapse. "No no no!!! You can't do this!!!! you can't!!! My son shall get everything!!! you should have just die!!!!" she shouted broken by the sudden event.
Another powerful slap woke her up. Only to see that it was from her son, anger could be seen in his eyes. The fifteen year old boy accompany by his twin sister, Gideon and Hillary White, look at their mother as if eyeing a monster.
From their family own education they were taught to have independent minds, follow family values and forge their own path if they want to. They knew they could choose whether they want to inherent the family business or build a path of their own future.
They loved each of their family members Especially their twin pair of cousin that they grew up and play with during the days when they were young. This includes their mother, even if she constantly annoys them at how they should be the one to manage the family's business and not their cousin. They didn't pay attention to her rumblings.
They have heard everything from the beginning. Using their own contacts they soon knew exactly what happened. Devastated and fearing what kind of nightmare will their cousins have at their sleep. News that could've anything contain about the White Family will always explode at the media.
They already own almost half of the raw food industry in the country and 15% of the world. Promoting fresh food sources around the world and those that could have been waste was delivered and cooked for any establishment that taking care of the elderly and retired war veterans. Even the orphanage and the slums. Reducing the cost that could have usually put a hole in their pockets just to feed the whole family.
They never expand after gaining their current state, they only stabilize and research on how they could promote growth of whatever in their hands without resulting on the use of chemicals.
The pair of twins, never wanted to manage the family business, the siblings want to establish their path, they already discussed it with their grandparents and great grandfather. They were only waiting for an opportunity to say it to their parents, because they knew their mother will object their decision. While having their father's full support. But now their hearts broken into pieces on the last hope that they have for their mother. They always think that if they use their own hands and forge their pwn path, bringing wealth to thir mother, she could have been proud.
"We never wanted to manage the family business. We didn't pay attention to your rumblings when we are young. Treating it as just your own idea of how should we built our own path and future. But this!! Mom it's too much!! We never expect you to be like this" Hillary pour out her bottled feelings.
"Why don't you just be content with what you have now, mom." Gideon stated rather than ask the sentence he spoke. Disappointment written all over his face.
...
Gideon look at his two younger cousins, he just stood there gathering some of his courage. "Big brother!!" the two shouted upon noticing him, flinching a little, he scratch the back of his head and laugh awkwardly.
"Want some ice cream?" he ask, gaining a shining eyes from the two. They we're about to say yes when Greyson enters the room. "Hmm. What this? I don't remember allowing you guys eat ice cream today" asking playfully. "But dad!! We want ice cream!!" he couldn't help but shake his head at the scene infront of him. Lucas and Liam didn't stop until their dad gave in, after getting what they want. The three cousins, talk and laugh while playing video games. Then after a few hours Hillary joined them for a long movie marathon.
Little by little the pair of brothers seem to forget the nightmare they just face. Falling asleep, the four didn't even have any strength to move, they just lay comfortably while hugging each other.
Greyson haven't been able to resist, he took he phone out snapping several photos, feeling that it's not enough with just a phone he stealthy walk out the room to get his brand new camera. Taking photos to satisfy his craving for cuteness. When he heard Ace Williams White, the new member of their family, cried hoping to gain some attention. Still holding his camera when a sudden idea struck him.
"Who's my little cutie~" he tickle Ace with his nose. Successfully making him laugh, "Now let's have some photoshoot my little cutie~" Ace just smile and laugh.
Hilton just smile a little, not before reminding Greyson, "Sir it's best to not move too much. Your wound is still fresh." but only getting a dissatisfied look, as if saying that 'you just don't have a cute son' resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
Sighing, he took out the news paper he haven't manage to read due to the current ongoing hiring for staff. Checking each and every information he could find, making sure that everything was under control.
The front page of the news was about the claims and proof that Michelle Selvan is the mastermind of the 'Crazy Killers'Night' along with some of her family members. Dirts about their family begun to surface after losing the White's protection.
Hilton just stare at it for a while before putting it down. He didn't want to remind everyone else of what kind of nightmare transpired on that night. Wishing for the two young masters to just forget and get over their fears.
