Nolan and Delissa sat stiffly on a wide sofa. Across them, a pale-skinned man full of spots on his facial skin that was beginning to wrinkle, was instead sitting with a relaxed lean. He was accompanied by a middle-aged woman with eastern face but wide eyelids that still looked beautiful and appeared natural. The woman continued to target them with a look of trivial eyes. Nolan and the woman repeatedly met fierce eyes like two new old enemies.
"Grandfather, how are you? Healthy?" Nolan tried to put on a big smile and nodded respectfully at the man before him, so the woman next to the grandfather smiled cynically.
"Not to get stale. You're so considerate of my father-in-law because he wants to, right? And in your heart, you pray that he dies quickly!"
Nolan barely jumped off the couch hearing accusations from a woman who was none other than Norman Ricci's late brother-in-law. Her name is Cecilia Ricci, a Uighur, one of the most beautiful female contributing tribes in the world. The parasites also decreased in the son, Kenneth Ricci, a man with a striking appearance that had blocked Nolan and Delissa in the elevator to the giya brawl Ricci. The man is now changing his clothes because it was hit by Delissa vomit.
"There's a war like this, anyway?" Kenneth has returned and changed his clothes. His chirps relaxed the atmosphere that had stiffened due to the words of Cecilia just now. When Delissa's eyes accidentally made contact with Kenneth, Delissa blinked for a moment admiring Nolan's half-brother's appearance. Kenneth looks more normal in a casual but classy Moe Ricci casual suit. Delissa only realized, after the man took off all his tacky accessories, Kenneth was more handsome than Nolan.He was downcast with skin blushing because Kenneth then did not release the gaze of Delissa for a moment. The man seemed to be assessing something in Nolan's mistress. Delissa's self-esteem feels like it's worth the display in the storefront.
Nolan clings to Delissa and pretends to embrace the woman, so Kenneth whistles to watch his step-cousin's attitude.
"Nolan is just like innocent young girls who are easily hit by a fist, well," Kenneth said no less spicy than his mother. Delissa who understood the meaning of the conversation immediately glared at Nolan as if demanding an answer, but the man next to her simply looked indifferent. Delissa seemed slapped to be reminded of the fact that Nolan was a flamboyant and himself a victim.
"What are you here for?" The heavy voice of Cornelius Ricci makes the atmosphere back silent after the presence of Kenneth who had diverted attention with his haphazard behavior.
"Before, I wanted to convey my greetings from Mami. He can't come here." Nolan explained with controlled voice intonation.
"Sad. Olivia is just a mistress, not worth setting foot in this place. Your sister-in-law's eyes must be blind to your mother's smitten! Pretending to be an honorable woman, but still picked up from the street!" Cecilia again grabbed the chatter, as if she would not listen to any words coming out of Nolan's mouth. Seeing the stepson who was raised by his late brother-in-law alone, he was not willing. Especially considering the family history of the widow of two children is opaque, until Olivia and her sons and daughters do not deserve to be on the list of Ricci family.
"Little."
Cecilia locked her lips after Cornelius Ricci rebuked her hard enough. He lost the vote. If her husband is not busy with business affairs now, surely the husband has the same opinion with her.
"We've handed you the Norman villa. What else do you guys want? You are not a legitimate family and have no right to demand a share of the shares left by Norman in Moe Ricci" Norman Ricci said plainly without making a word at all.
Nolan's blood was boiling. His family had endured years of shame to be recognized as part of the Ricci family, but it never came to fruition. But not this time. Nolan is determined to change the wheel of fate, mother, and sister. They must not accept this humiliation any longer! They now even have the weapons to control the Ricci breed.
"Grandfather Cornelius, we are aware that we are nobody in your life, but Grandfather should know this fact sooner or later. Kenneth isn't the only legitimate heir to the Ricci-breed"
"Supply, you! You intend to get rid of my son?!" Cecilia failed to control her emotions in front of the in-laws. He pointed at Nolan's face with a fierce look, as if he wanted to tear the young man to shreds until he could no longer be recognized. Kenneth embraces Cecilia with his sturdy arm so that his mother does not lose face as a respectable woman. His sharp eyes also targeted Nolan with a savage. Meanwhile, Cornelius Ricci still looks calm. The old man just shook his head inexhaustibly.
"Olivia, Olivia .... I really don't understand what else your mother is planning" Cornelius said in surprise.
"Forget it!" hardik Cornelius Ricci with eyes blazing furiously. "I don't want to reopen old wounds. We've lost Norman and the first heir to this family because my son chose to live with you!"
"We found Grandpa's lost grandson. He's still alive."
"lik! You sly people! Don't trust him, Dad!" Cecilia was very upset to hear the nonsense from Nolan. However, Cornelius raised his hand to tell the woman to shut up.
"What do you say?" Cornelius asked in a tone full of doubt and doubted Nolan, but still he was curious to the point where Nolan's lie would end.
Nolan then held Delissa's shoulder tightly in his arms. "Delissa, my future wife, she's Grandpa's granddaughter."
The expression of everyone in the room was like being struck by lightning instantly hearing Nolan's confession.
"We covered up her identity all along for fear that her safety was threatened by Aunty Cecilia's jealousy."
"That's slander, Dad! She doesn't look like a Norman princess! I watched myself as Brother-in-law gave birth in the hospital!" shouted Cecilia kalap. Cornelius was stunned by the overwhelming shock. The inner struggle was going on inside her as she tried to notice Delissa being held in Nolan's arms. The man's body trembles trying to find a resemblance between Delissa and her first lost grandchild. Kenneth even approached to observe Delissa more closely. "You're Bonita?"
Delissa was asked that. He did not know about the name called by Kenneth, let alone being hit by the man's facial radiation up close. However, Delissa hid her awkwardness with a forced knotty smile.
"I should be able to recognize when I first saw you with Nolan" the man muttered as he closely watched Delissa.
"Keep away, don't get too close!" Nolan warns his step-cousin to keep his distance from the woman.
Kenneth laughs amusedly while staring at Delissa who is daunted because she threatens. "You must have proof of DNA testing before you claim to be Bonita" he said.
"Yes, right! Haha. I can guess what the test results will be like, Ken. These two people are just liars with big guts. They must not know how miserable it is in prison for spreading hoaxes." Cecilia smiled happily at the speed of Kenneth's actions in anticipation of the situation. Delissa increasingly parno himself heard the threat of criminalization against him. It .
"All of you know, I have proof!" Nolan let go of Delissa, then rose with defiant body language. He is ready to go to war with the heirs of the Ricci breed.
"Delissa or Bonita, now also pregnant with my child .." he added with a triumphant hiss. Cornelius Ricci grabbed the seat back behind him. The old man almost fainted.
