Deep Affection: Honey, Come Back To Me

Chapter 35 Revenge

"Uncle John, are you planning to do something to Aunt Nina?" James asked, his voice trembling with apprehension.

"What do you think?" John replied, a hint of disgust clearly evident in his eyes.

Had James been using his intelligence in studying, his brother and sister-in-law would not have pushed the responsibility of disciplining him to John.

James was stunned in disbelief. This time, John was really going to deal with Nina himself.

What surprised him was that John was no longer a young teenage boy, but the way he behaved was even worse than that of a schoolboy in his teens. He was intensely bullying a girl in order to attract her undivided attention.

This was way too mean!

James treated Nina as his respected aunt, senior and friend, so he tried to plead on her behalf, "Uncle John, why don't you consider it again?"

"You seem to have a good relationship with her," John stated and turned to look at James in a dominant way. "Tell me her weakness."

John seemed to be smiling, but in actual fact, he was forcing James to tell him and wasn't going to stop until he got his answer. James felt creepy. If he dared to lie his way out and say that he didn't know, he was sure to get hit and his blood would definitely splash on the spot.

"Uncle John, please, don't do this!" With a wry smile, James tried to make light of the situation and teased back, albeit in a nervous tone. At the same time, he hid himself behind Henry.

He sighed deeply and told her the truth. "That investor is willing to invest under one condition. He is willing to give the money and invest, if and only if, he can have Michelle's friend, Nina, attend a wine party."

"But why? What does she have to do with it?"

"Look at her. Don't you find that she looks adoring and beautiful? The investor must have taken a fancy to the girl. We can't let her do such a vile thing. Just forget about it."

"You're right. Just tell them that Michelle doesn't have a friend named Nina. Anyway, we can't hurt that innocent child."

They reached an agreement and pretended that they knew nothing. However, they were a little disappointed somehow. It was their lifelong wish for the project to continue its progress and come to fruition.

But as soon as their hopes were raised, it was completely destroyed immediately.

"Don't worry, I can go," Nina volunteered. She had arrived at the kitchen door a while ago and heard every word they said.

She saw their excitement, expectation, disappointment, and kindness, one emotion after another, and sometimes, a mixture of everything.

This must be John's way of taking his revenge on her.

He had asked her to go to the wine party.
