17. What Happened Between You And Your Brother?
Chapter 17, What Happened Between You And Your Brother?
"What can I do to change things back to the way it used to be in this family?" Loveth pleaded in front of her husband's study room, feeling very remorseful about the strained relationship between the father and son, but he only pushed her away.
"You can't change anything," he snorted, "you've already done a lot, you can start by doing nothing now, just go to your room and enjoy your designer bags"
When Loveth Baron heard this, she was even more disturbed in her mind, it was hard not to understand what he was saying with this simple words of his.
It's been so long and yet again, she is made to realize that he had not forgotten about it.
She left his office sorrowfully and went to check out on her son. She knocked on his door, but Johnathan wasn't answering her, he was so busy being enraged that he. Pushing all the creams and daily skin care that laid on his table.
That was the best way to get rid of his hurt and anger at the moment, he hasn't been angry for a long time, in fact, the last time he remembered was when he pretended to be I'll and deliberately skipped school because he didn't read for a quiz in school.
When his mother found out, she still took him to school and he had to take the quiz, well in fortunately for him, he failed.
He was so angry that when he came back, she started hitting the next things he saw and practically sent his room into a huge mess of broken glasses and scattered books on the floor.
Even at his grown up age, Johnathan still behaved like a child because he didn't know another way of releasing his emotions.
…..
Master John Baron on the other side got into his office, brought out his phone and started making one calls.
"Hey dad. So you have finally heard the news?"
Of cause, Jame was the first person Master Baron would call, after all, he is now currently the President of the company, he had to make sure that he knew how to handle things like this.
"James, what happened between you and your brother?" John Baron just cut the chase and went straight to the point.
James stopped for a minute, held the phone away from his eyes and waved at the other people in the office to leave him for a minute.
"Hold on dad" he said as if suddenly remembering something.
When they all heard him say that, they started excusing themselves one after the other.
Earlier, done managers and a few directors that were there happened to be nearby and came to the office when they heard the incident.
Before the call, James was addressing them about what to do with the issue because somehow words had already gone out about the incident of Johnathan claiming to be the Legitimate child of the Barons.
"Sir how should we handle it?" They asked James.
"How else, I want you to suppress the news from going far, but not too much because we kind of need the …."
James had not finished saying what he wanted to say when his phone started ringing.
"Oh it's the Chairman, I better take this" before taking the phone call.
That was when the other people in the office heard him and excused themselves to allow the two men talk.
Everybody except one person.
"Uncle Bernard shouldn't you also excuse me first? Am talking to my father" James said, his voice was loud enough for both Mr. Bernard and Mr. John who was on the phone to hear them.
Bernard opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw the phone on James's hands, he decided against it.
"Yes sir, I'll go out first" he greeted his teeth, stood up and left the office before closing it after him.
He went to his office and cursed James for deliberately showing off in front of him.
"That rascal, if not because of me he wouldn't be here!" Bereaved shouted as he hit the waste bin the moment he entered his office.
The even if today had definitely reminded him that he shouldn't be reluctant when dealing with James from now on, if not, the boy will just slip from his hands without him even knowing.
Bernard's head started pounding as he thought of how to speed up his plans.
As for James, he really just wanted to emphasize the point of being the only son of the Baron, the one and only heir who's now the CEO of Baron Enterprise.
When he successfully sent them all out of his office, he sat on his swivel chair and return the phone back to his ear.
"Yes dad, you were saying?"
John was very angry at James and wanted nothing than. To run to just appear in the office and beat the hell out of him.
But that would be too irrational, there wouldn't be any different between him and his 'useless sons if he did that so he had to quietly embrace the whole thing with greeted teeth.
"James, couldn't you handle the responsibility? I gave up my position as the president to you and what, in less than a month a scandal is already flying about from my business?" John scolded James from the phone.
"What are you saying dad? Don't you know?…" James was not in a hurry to give his old man an answer.
"Don't I know what?.."
