Threat

Night time at Alexander's garden.

"Mom, can we talk?" Javier said. He pulled a chair opposite from his mother and sat.

"What is it?" Ysabel asked. She picked up her cup of tea and took a sip.

"Have you seen the recent news?" Javier asked.

"I did," the old lady responded, "So?" she asked, placing her tea cup down.

"We can no longer hide Julian and Sabrina's identity Mom," Javier said, "We should reveal their identities now or it will damage Sabrina," he added.

"Of course we should," Ysabel smiled, "But only for Sabrina," she said.

"What do you mean?"

Ysabel looked at Javier seriously, "I will never accept that bastard as a part of our family," she said, "I have told you many times not to let Sabrina near that disgusting bastard. Now look at what happened? She's being scolded by the public because of him!"

Javier looked at her mother with disbelief in his eyes, "Really Mom?" he asked, "We're talking about this again?"

Javier as a kid, up until to now that he's already an adult, didn't understand why his mother hated Julian so much. He understood that he was a product of his dad's wrong decisions, but Julian didn't have to do anything with it.

If there was someone his mom should blame, it should be his father and not Julian.

It wasn't his choice to be born out of mistake.

"I will never allow that bastard to be known as a part of our family. He's nothing but a prostitute's child," Ysabel said.

Javier suddenly chuckled, "You know what Mom," he started, "Ever since we were kids, you have always been like this to Julian. He did nothing wrong, but you always blamed him for what dad has done," he said.

"Julian has always been a good kid. Everything that you did to him, have you ever heard him shout back? Yell back at you? He never even cursed at you even though you treated him like trash! And now it's already Sabrina that we're talking about here Mom. You still want to go on with that hateful heart of yours?" Javier spoke in disbelief. It has been years since Julian left home and they weren't kids anymore. He can't understand why his mom couldn't let go of this hatred for his brother.

"Don't speak as if you know everything Javier," Ysabel said, "No matter what you say, I will never approve," she said.

Javier just sighed, "Well I'm not really here for your permission," he said, "I'm here to inform you," he added.

"Javier!"

"It's time to move on mom," he said, "I can't let this hatred of yours towards Julian ruin my daughter. Julian has always been part of the Walker family. You have already robbed Julian of his identity for a very long time and the least you can do to make up for the things you have done to him is to give him what's rightfully his. So what if he's a bastard? He's still my brother," Javier said.

Javier stood up from his seat and bowed to his mother, "I'll go clear my daughter's name now," he said.

"A bastard will never be accepted in society! Don't ruin our family's name," Ysabel raised her voice at Javier.

"Do you know what Julian has always told me?" Javier smiled, "Even though he can't be accepted by the society, as long as I accept him, it's all that matters," he turned around and left.

"Do you think he can persuade Grandma Ysabel?" Kenzie asked Grey while biting her nails.

"90/10," Grey answered which made Kenzie raise her brows, "90% Grandma Ysabel will say no and 10% she will say yes," Grey explained.

"What do you kids mean?" A voice suddenly spoke behind them.

Grey and Kenzie turned their heads at the same time and saw Grandpa George standing behind them.

"What is it you're talking about Ysabel?" Grandpa George asked.

Kenzie and Grey immediately looked at each other meaningfully.

"Uhm, it's about Sabrina and uhm…" Kenzie glanced at Grandpa George, "… Director Julian," Kenzie hesitantly said.

Grandpa George's expression immediately changed after hearing what Kenzie said.

"Dad," Javier said as soon as he arrived at the living room.

"Can you tell me what this is about Javier? What's going on between my granddaughter and Julian?" Grandpa George asked.

"We're back!" Sabrina happily greeted everyone, "Hmm? Why are you guys so serious?" Sabrina asked them in confusion, noticing that their faces were all straight.

Both Kenzie and Grey, in unison, face palmed themselves.

What a great time to enter.

"Come with me first, I need to talk to you," Alexander pulled Sabrina away from the living room and headed upstairs to his room.

"Explain what's happening Javier. Why are Kenzie and Grey talking about persuading Ysabel?" Grandpa George asked once again.

"We plan to reveal both Sabrina and Julian's identity as Walker's Dad," Javier answered honestly, "Something came up and this is the only way to solve it," he added.

Grandpa George sat on the couch. The living room suddenly went silent for a good amount of time before Javier decided to talk.

"If you're going to stop me Dad, it's no use becau---"

"No," Grandpa George interrupted, "You have always been a responsible kid Javier. I trust your decision," he said.

Many years, Grandpa George hid Julian Walker to the public because he was afraid of being scolded. He had Julian at the time where Walker Corporation was on the rise and he couldn't afford to lose the public's trust.

He kept Julian hidden because he was afraid to lose his company too.

George has lived in guilt almost all his life. Guilt for not treating his own son well. Although it's already late to do this, recognizing Julian as his son is the least he can do for him.

"Are you sure Dad?�� Javier asked.

"He's a part of our family," Grandpa George answered.

"He's not!"

Kenzie and Grey once again face palmed in unison.

"He's a Walker Ysabel," Grandpa George said, "He is a part of our family," he added.

"That bastard is not a part of our family!" Ysabel shouted, "Reveal his identity to the public and I will kill myself," she said.

Ysabel lifted the kitchen knife on her hand and placed it on her neck.

Kenzie, Grey and Grandpa George all suddenly stood up in unison.

"Mom!" Javier shouted.

"I will never let you recognize him! Over my dead body!" Ysabel shouted at them.
