Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 22
Chapter 1272
(Unedited)
…
Samantha Kane feels a bit annoyed that the guy whom she thought had changed is still the pushover that he was. He would not even fight back against the insult his cousin is throwing at him.
But she did not say anything as she too was an outcast of her own family. She can only try to hold to that boring Rome Lee for support.
That guy might be boring, but he gives her everything she asked for. He would even take her out of that dilapidated place if not for the condition her family has set for her.
The condition is for her to stay with Adam Summers for 2 years and then the family will take her back. This is because the Kane family would want to teach her a lesson. Although her parents are against this, they could not go against the family's decision.
And so, she has stayed with Adam Summers for a year but she did not dare sleep with him. She did not want to have a child with the trash.
Rome Lee, on the other hand, has been urging her to divorce the guy. But she knew that if she did, then she would be shunned by her own family and that she did not want to happen.
While standing beside Adam and looking at the old man entering the hall, she bit her lips and quietly hid behind Adam.
"Grandfather!" the young man greeted the old man who is walking toward them.
Xin Ja frowned a bit as he could recognize the old man as Adam's grandfather according to the pictures he had seen.
The old man showed an amicable smile and hugged the young man.
"Who is that guy?" Xin Ja asked in a low voice at Samantha Kane behind him.
She showed a shocked expression when she heard this.
That guy was talking to him for a while now and he showed a calm expression, but it turned out that he did not know the guy.
She then remembers him acting a bit weird a few days ago. He became strong that he could even beat up Rome Lee. She wanted to ask him but was a bit reluctant. She is not that shameless and brainless as to ask something of him after he discovered her infidelity.
She grits her teeth and then said.
"He is your cousin… Leo Summers… his father is your uncle… did you forget?" she asked curiously.
"Umm…" Xin Ja nods his head in acknowledgment.
She looks at him weirdly as she did not know what is happening to the guy.
When the old man stood in front of Xin Ja, he showed a domineering expression and squinted his eyes.
He looks at Xin Ja up and down and then frowned when he did not see him reacting or something. The young man before him just looks at him without flinching.
"How bold! Why have you not greeted, our grandfather!" the young man angrily shouted.
"Grandfather…" he said with a calm tone.
Everyone in the hall began to discuss in a hushed tone the attitude that Adam Summers is showing. They all knew that Adam Summers is a timid man and is always an introvert. He would always hide from the crowd and would not have the gut to show up in front of everyone.
He would always sit in the corner and when the old man enters, he would run towards the old patriarch and then lowered his head not saying anything.
But now, something seems to have changed.
"Adam… I heard something has happened…" the old man suddenly said.
"Do you know who I am?" he asked.
Xin Ja squinted as he looks at the old man. This old man seems to know something. But he has no plan of hiding anything and just goes with the plan.
"I know you… but only your name and that you are supposed to be my grandfather." Xin Ja said without stammering.
"Albert Summers, right?" Xin Ja asked.
The eyes of the young man on the side suddenly went wide and anger could be seen on his face.
"How dare you!?"
"Anyone! Beat this waste!" he growled.
But Xin Ja did not flinch and just looks at the old man.
"If you don't stop this stupidity, I will waste your grandson in front of you…" Xin Ja suddenly said.
It was a bare threat.
The expression of everyone in the hall became that of shock. How could they not know who Adam Summers is?
"You dare threaten my son and the father? You're nothing but a waste…" said a middle-aged man standing behind the old man.
"Drag this bastard out!" the middle-aged man commanded.
A few security personnel and family guards have already surrounded Xin Ja.
"*Sigh… You will not mind this will you?" he said while looking at the old man.
All this time, his eyes did not leave the old man's eyes.
Xin Ja could see a complicated feeling in the old man's expression.
"It seems that this old man has become a toothless tiger in the family…" he thought.
He suddenly walked forward and got close to the old man. The middle-aged man was alarmed and wanted to get close but the old man stopped him.
"I am not the old Adam Summers… I know something about what happened to my father. If you do not act, I will personally clean the skeleton in the closet of this family… My father and mother…" Xin Ja whispered then slowly backs away.
His voice is clear in the ears of the old man. But those around him even those near the two did not hear anything.
Xin Ja did not want this family to bother him in his quest for growing stronger. For now, he could not cause them trouble because of the Union laws, but if they truly irritate him, he would grab them and then go back and forth to erase their existence.
"Father…" the middle-aged man felt a bit worried.
But the old man lifted his hand to stop him.
"Today is my birthday… I don't want any commotion… Leo, stop being petty." The old man said then turns around and walked to his seat.
The father and son duo along with some of the family members were all stunned. They did not expect that Albert Summers would say such a thing to his favorite grandson just because of waste.
No one said anything and just took a seat.
Soon, the party began and everyone was called to give their gifts to the old man.
From branded watches, expensive rings, classy wine, and prized antiques, the Summers family has shown that they are affluent and rich.
On the side, Leo Summers has already been seething in anger for a while now after his grandfather has reprimanded him.
How could he bare such insult towards him by the man he respected the most?
"Petty? Why did grandfather call me, petty? Is it because of that guy? Damn him!" he muttered under his breath as he glares at Xin Ja who is calmly eating at his table.
He could sense that something have changed in the man. Even his wife on his side is showing some weird expression as she would look at the guy every now and then.
"Did that asshole Rome Lee failed? But we have a deal… It's been a while since I called him…" he then takes out his phone and dialed a number.
An irritated voice answered on the other line.
"Bastard… what is happening?" Leo Summers quickly said in a low yet angry tone.
He talked for a while and then is showing disbelief on his face afterward.
When he hangs up, he is already showing astonishment in his expression.
His eyes turned complicated when he looks at his cousin.
"This cannot be… He cannot be an awakened…" he muttered.
Then suddenly his eyes turned hostile.
"So what if he is an awakened… Even if grandfather would now look on him favorably, he is still trash in my eyes…" he glared with hatred.
When that person was young and his father was the head of the family. He would always envy his uncle's family.
He has a loving father and a kind mother. He is truly envious of them, of the love he is getting.
How come he did not have such a fate? How come his father is just a scheming bastard would always drill in his mind about their father being unfair. How come he has a mother who would not spend time with him and would just send him to school and tutors every day, while she would always hang out with her friends?
Everything was truly unfair.
Even when his uncle died and his aunt mysteriously disappears, his life never changed. The reason why he would always bully his cousin Adam is because he could not accept in his heart that the guy has better parents than him.
So when the guy's life is down, he could not help but gloat about his misfortune and revel in the fate of his family.
It was kind of like a consolation for him… something that made him… happy.
But now it seems that this happiness is once again being trampled.
So how could he just accept it quietly?
