"Thanks to your tricks, Jake has been miserable at the amusement park, as he was forced to come back before he even enjoyed" Josephine sighed, she doesn't even know how to express her frustration, "and I had to endure being insulted by that doctor, how much longer do you expect us to suffer because of you?" "Suffer? Who's the one suffering here?" Bryan retorted, no longer able to tolerate the way they're accusing him, "have you ever stopped to consider how I feel? All you ever care about is Jake, why is it always about Jake when I'm the one who is suffering?" "What exactly have you suffered?" Josephine's anger triggered as Bryan talked back at her, "if you hadn't come back home, you'd have been out there struggling to survive in that orphanage, we have provided everything for you, food, clothes, shelter, but instead of being grateful, you're just greedy for more, you're being selfish, Bryan." Bryan forced a bitter smile, trying to hide the pain inside him as he fought back the tear
Bryan had reached his breaking point as he is fed up with hearing their continuous insults, spotting a knife nearby, he grabbed it, sending everyone into a panic, they couldn't figure out why he suddenly armed himself Jake rushed to hide behind Josephine, while the three sisters huddled in a corner. Neil, just a few steps away from Bryan, looked bewildered. Even the butler, usually unbothered, was momentarily stunned, unsure of what Bryan would do next with the knife in his hand, they're almost being like holding their lives in their palms since the knife is gripped by Bryan's hand."Bryan, have you lost your mind? What do you think you're doing?" Neil shouted at Bryan, despite not knowing his intentions behind holding a knife, "do you want to become a hero or what by holding a knife in hand like a thug? Where do those ill manners you got from orphanage would go? Is that what they taught you?" "Darling, why you're enraging him? Can't you see the knife in his hand?" Josephine shouted
"What?" Everyone was stunned into silence noticing the room which not even servants use was used by Bryan but he never complained, the butler cleared his throat before explaining, "When young master Bryan arrived home for the first time, you instructed me to assign him this room, saying he shouldn't be spoiled by luxury too soon."Stacy looked uncomfortable even to step in the room, "but haven't they changed rooms over the past four years?" The butler shook his head, as they entered, they found themselves in a small, dimly lit room, there was hardly any ventilation or sunlight, and the bed was as hard as the floor, lacking a proper mattress, Neil pointed to a worn-out study table, "What on earth is this?"The butler doesn't even know how to begin about this study table which Bryan received out of pity from a mere butler, "Young master Bryan didn't have a study table, and when I suggested getting one, you insisted he should adjust to the lifestyle here slowly rather than be spoiled wit
Josephine showed no remorse for her actions, which stunned the butler, she sighed expressing her frustration, "How can he be so childish at his age? If he is unhappy with his living conditions, why didn't he say something to us? Who asked him to adjust in this room, did we force him or what?"The butler couldn't find the words to respond, so Josephine continued, "He acted obedient so well, but now he's making a scene just because things didn't go as he wanted, who does he think he's embarrassing by living in this room?""But madam," the butler began to give an explanation, but Rosaline cut him off, "you don't have to speak for him, at least you should've told us about this sooner. Yes, we wanted to teach him the value of money, but who asked him to get a part-time job like some roadside beggar for a few pennies? If people find out the heir of the Winterwood family is working like a low-class laborer, it'll be humiliating for us, Did he think about the family's reputation at all?"Aft
The doors slammed shut right in Bryan's face, the orphanage, which had once meant everything to him, had turned its back to Bryan when he was in need.Realizing he had nowhere to go, Bryan started to walk away until he heard a voice call out, "Bryan, wait dude!"Turning around, Bryan saw Ronald running towards him with a bag in his hands, as Bryan stopped, Ronald hugged him tightly, "Man, how can you walk so fast? I nearly lost my breath thanks to you," Ronald panted heavily.Bryan hugged him back, feeling a rush of emotions, ge never thought he would see Ronald again after his death, Ronald looked surprised by Bryan's sudden change of behaviour, Bryan usually hated hugging but now clung to him instead of pushing him away."Are you okay?" Ronald asked, being concerned not understanding Bryan's behaviour. Bryan didn't say anything despite Ronald speaking to him, but Ronald understood the situation through Bryan's silence, "Don't blame Sister, seems like it was your father who told her
"Young master!" Bryan's attention diverted towards the familiar voice calling out for him, it was none other than his butler, John, approaching him, "Mr. John?" Bryan's surprise was quite evident in his voice as he doesn't know why John came to meet him.Ronald, standing nearby, let out a sigh, "First your sister, now the butler, who's next?" He mumbled under his breath but Bryan heard it clearly."Shut up!" Bryan glared at Ronald before turning his attention back to John, "What are you doing here Mr. John? How did you even find me?"Mr. John remained calm, explaining, "It wasn't difficult, young master, the only place you love to visit mostly is that orphanage, so I went there, through them I heard you weren't allowed at the orphanage, so I searched these streets until I found you."Fearing he might be here to convince Bryan to come back, before he could say something, Bryan himself took the initiative to speak, "If you're here to take me back, please leave Mr. John, I'm not ready to
"What?" Bryan asked not understanding what John is trying to say since his voice is too low, but John quickly changed the topic, "it's nothing, young master."Bryan hummed, not wanting to push John to speak, John then offered finally thinking it of a last way, "Young master, if you're not ready to stay in my place, at least let me take you to a nearby motel, it's very affordable, and it is owned by someone I know very well, so I'll get a room for you there to stay for two days."Bryan hesitated, knowing he had no money, but Ronald intervened before Bryan could say something, "please take us there, I have some money." Bryan wanted to object, but Ronald continued holding Bryan's hand, "You can pay me back later, let's go for now Bryan."John helped Bryan and Ronald secure a room at the motel for two days at a low price which is affordable for Ronald to pay, the small room, barely big enough for one person, didn't even have a bed and also a common bathroom, John felt sad seeing the condi
"What?" The principal immediately stood up from his chair with a furious face because of Bryan's disrespectful words, "What did you say?"Ronald tried to calm the situation, but Bryan has already started speaking before Ronald could take a chance to speak, "I mean, with your looks, a mere principal’s chair doesn't suit you, sir, you're perfect for the chairman's seat."The principal's face turned all shades of red listening to Bryan's words, Ronald sighed inwardly watching the principal's face, "Ugh, someone please tell this old pig to stop blushing, I want to die rather than seeing this."Bryan forced a smile at the principal, "What do you think about it, sir? According to me you're the most capable person here to be placed in the chairman's position."The principal blushed even more because of Bryan's continuous sweet words, "You, young man, have quite a useful and wise tongue, I like your honesty.""Honesty my foot," Bryan muttered under his breath, "you buffalo, the animal farm is
