Chapter 181 - Missing thread

"Eeeeekkkkk" Seline screamed loudly at the scene enfolded in front of her. Her face and neck turned as red as ripe tomato while she subconsciously covered her eyes with her fingers but peeked from the gaps in between them to see the hilarious view.

Where as the Scott acted as if he didn’t see the intruder but his kisses became more quick and rough. Jean just rolled her eyes while gripping Scott’s shoulders tightly, but as soon as she listened some other person is coming into room she instantly pushed Scott away with all her might. Then she hurriedly went into bathroom.

Scott frowned at his sister while looking at receding figure of his woman. "You, don’t you have manners. Don’t you know that you should knock the door before entering. Do you know-"

Then he saw his mother who is glaring at two of them. She sprinted in to the room after listening to her daughters scream.

"You, come out with me. NOW" Susan scolded her daughter and dragged her forcefully to the door.

"Mom you are supposed to scold them. Not me" Seline glared at Scott who is smirking while he adjusted his position on bed.

"I said enough, Seline. They are grown up and more over I want grandchildren soon, so logically I should scold you not them for disturbing their precious moments " Susan grinned unable to maintain her poker face

.

"But theoretically this is wrong. They shouldn’t do-" Seline looked her mother with puppy eyes.

"Enough of acting too innocent honey, you are yet to explain about your relationship. So, why don’t we go out and talk about that." Susan reminded her daughter.

"Uhmm.. I will, after Raymond comes. He will be shortly thereafter" Seline glanced at her brother. They should discuss about the family rift.

"Mom, we should also talk to them about that" Scott shot a meaningful glance at his mother who nodded her head.

"Guys. No need to rack your minds for that. I and Raymond already knows about it" Seline beamed at her shocked mother and brother.

Before Scott could talk Jean exited the bathroom. Her complexion is better than before but she looked little tired. Jean avoided her mother in law’s gaze and looked down, she could also not look at Seline, who will surely tease her with no mercy.

Scott sighed softly and pulled her close to him. May be to save her from embarrassment there is a sudden knock on the door then followed by several of them.

Raymond and Shawn are waiting out of the room patiently. Jean sighed and quickly sprinted and hugged her brother like a little child getting bullied.

Ray and Scott chucked at the same time looking at cute expression of Jean. Susan keenly observed every move of her daughter in law gauging her emotions and feelings. Jean couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable for that.

Scott protectively wrapped her in his arms and carried her into the dining room not bothering his mother. He made her sit between him and her brother so that she would not escape from completing her dinner.

Shawn frowned upon seeing the food, Everything are made of vegetarian dishes. "Guys, why is it only veg. Who is that saint here"

Seline grinned at him. "My dear little fuzzy brother, our sister in law here is pure vegetarian because she hate torturing any other living beings. She once said to me that, Her motive is to not kill even a single living being intentionally. She is too sensitive and vulnerable" she pursed her lips and patted Jean’s shoulder.

Scott glared at his sister annoyingly. After what happened between Jean and his mother, this point is little out of date. Jean felt very deep urge to dig a hole and bury herself into it.

The atmosphere around them became little awkward ... how could someone so hostile to her own uncle could have such type of motto.

"Little correction, Not every living being. This will be practical only when you say it as ’every innocent living being’ because there will be some persons out there who needs a proper lesson." Susan smiled graciously at Jean.

Jean’s face instantly brightened, this words means a lot to her. Her mother in law indirect supported her recent actions whole heartedly. Susan saw the glowing face of her daughter in law and shook her head softly, Jean is surely one kind of person. Now she is nothing but a silly woman who is over thinking the matter.

Scott fed her all the dishes thoroughly until Jean begged him to stop. He even used his own mouth to pump the various soups into her mouth, even others didn’t stop him and in fact they supported him till her stomach bulged up like a pregnant woman. Later he coaxed her to sleep and exited the room before locking it from out.

She is so precious to him that he don’t want her to suffer any forms of mental stress...

In study room all of them gathered to talk about Scott’s grand parents. They should have a perfect plan to clear Jean’s name and as well as persuade him for Seline and Raymond’s wedding.

As every one of them knows about family rivalry they didn’t beat around the bushes and directly came to the point.

"First of all we should find out why Black’s suddenly changed their minds and betrothed Raymond to Grey’s. There should be a reason for that sudden change given with how close the elders of each family use to be" Shawn seriously said it and wrote it on the board with the marker.

" As I remember this happened after the death of your great grand father. You got betrothed to Cassandra after some five to six months after his death. Then only your grandfather became Elder of the your family and suddenly announced this" Susan said to Raymond who keenly listened to her with serious expression. Shawn wrote in on the board.

"How old am I then" Seline asked her mother.

"Around sixteen or seventeen I guess" Susan

scratched her head trying hard to remember.

" Are you sure, mom" Scott asked her thinking about something seriously.

"Hmm.. not that sure, but approximately between fifteen to eighteen." Susan was so busy with her political parties at that time and more over she got to know about this fight long after the real incident.

"Shawn note it down" Scott pointed his brother who quickly wrote it on the board.

Jean parents died almost at the same time. If they get to know the exact time when this rivalry between the families happened that might cross the path with her parents accident.

"Raymond could you ask your elders about this fight. You know that none of my grandparents know that we siblings are aware of this." Scott looked at his childhood friend whose eyebrows are creased.

"I would have asked this before only but the problem is this incident happened between your grandparents and my grandfather. My grandma was not aware of it until my mother told her. And now my grandfather is no longer alive. This is one sort of cliffhanger" Raymond looked at Scott then averted his gaze on to Scott’s mother.

"Aunt, do you remember anything related to my great-grandfather. Like when his will was read or something that happened after his death" Ray asked Susan.

"No, Raymond. Grandfather was not that close to Summers family then. Your mother might know about it, sad that your grandmother is in coma"

Susan patted Raymond’s shoulder for his loss. In the very next year of his grandmother’s coma his father died. The only person who knows about all these should be his mother but she never showed interest in all these family dramas and don’t have any precise ideas about this.

"Aunt, as per you Summer’s family is not that close to my great-grandfather then. Then what about Grey’s, are they close to my great grandfather in such a way that he betrayed Summer’s just to get with Grey’s. Summer’s family is wealthier and influential than Grey’s"

Raymond scratched his head. There is something they are missing. A thread which will connect all the incidents.

" I am not sure but very probably they are not that close. In business and private matters they are nothing but equal to strangers. Personally I am not sure if your great-grandfather knows them are not. But one thing is sure, he is kind of person who stands on his promise more than he valued his own life. But he betrayed his word to Summer’s and had chosen Grey’s" Susan said certainty.

"There is something fishy here. We are missing something, why would they select Cassandra over Seline and also promise her security" Susan mumbled subconsciously.

"What did you say, promise her security..." Scott asked his mother little loudly.

"Yes, they said that they will protect Grey’s heir" Susan said as if she remembered it now.

"Can it be Jean, they promised for" Shawn asked while scribbling every thought of them on the board.

"Yes, it might be Jean. Adam and his wife might have schemed something to make Cassandra betroth to Raymond. Jean is the actual heir but after her parents died she was forced to give all her assets to Cassandra" Scott seriously said.

"I do remember something. When me, Nathan and Kiara went to Grey’s mansion that time Vanessa was extra cautious to not let Jean approach me" Raymond remembered the incident when Vanessa and his own father tried to kill Jean.

"Yeah, our prediction might be correct but even before this fight happened, Jean parents were dead and Jean was forced to give up her heredity." Scott said.

"That means we don’t know about whom your great grand father promised. It might be Jean or Cassandra. To make this clear we have to know when the will was written. Is it before Jean’s parents death or before it"

If it is written before their death, Elder Black was talking about Jean then. Or else it might be Cassandra. If he was talking about Jean then that is something related to her parents. Otherwise it is about other thing which they still have to find.

"I will see what I can do. From today I will be staying in my ancestral home. May be I could find something" Ray promised Scott who is now holding his head in his hands. Poor soul looked pretty exhausted.

"OK, what about you and Seline. When will you talk to the elders" Shawn asked concerned about his big sister.

"My grandma is in coma. Next Elder alive in my family is my mother who don’t have any problem with me and Seline. She is willing to apologies, so this is not a big problem"

Raymond smiled at Seline and entwined his fingers with her.

"More over we are going public about our engagement on this Friday in banquet party. So it won’t be a problem with that old geese" Seline happily said then she realized her mistake and bit her tongue while side glancing her at mother.

"You, when did you get engaged. Why are we not informed, Huh... you are same as your twin brother. We didn’t get to know about his Jean until I barged into his room only to find her clothes disheveled on the floor. You know how sad I felt then, Why are you not giving importance to your parents when it comes to your relationsh.i.p.s" Susan yelled at them. Her eyes are brimmed with tears.
