Capítulo 12: Revenge 11: It Runs in the Family

[7:00 in the evening at Coleman's Residence]

"SHE DID WHAT?!"

"I'm right next to you. Do you need to shout, Alfonso?" Mary annoyingly looked at Alfonso, who's fuming with anger. Alfonso decided to visit the Colemans to hear what happened at the party, but he never expected that someone almost drugged Anna and that someone is the little brat Rebecca.

"Yes. That girl said it right in front of me." The elder of the Coleman family also came. The twins and their mother are confused about why the elder came to visit in the evening.

Mary could understand Alfonso because he told Mary that he would visit to hear what happened at the party, but the elder went without notice. The elder just said that there's no need for reasons to visit his grandchildren.

"That little..! I already warned you about that little brat, Mary! But you didn't listen to me!" Alfonso angrily said to Mary while gripping the teacup in his hand. He's grabbing it tight that it looks like it might break in any second. Mary sigh at her best friend's criticism.

Her friend is right. She should have listened to him.

"What has been done is done, Alfonso." She just plainly said to Alfonso. She doesn't know what to say. She already knew that as Anna's mother, she should have been more cautious about people who are getting closer to her daughter. But, even so, she's a mother who wants her daughter to be happy. She wants her daughter to have friends.

Ever since her husband suddenly disappeared, Anna has started avoiding interacting with other people. Even with her brother, she's not talking to him.

The only person that broke her daughter's wall was Rebecca. Even though she noticed that something is off with Rebecca, she still let her be near Anna because Rebecca made Anna look less lonely.

"So you're just gonna let it be?" The elder spoke. It's evident in his tone that he didn't like that way Mary said it. There should be a punishment for Rebecca's action. Mary should use her influence to make Rebecca suffer, or instead, she should use their family's dark side.

Some elite family like his family has their own dark side, like associating with the underground economy, drug dealers and many more. In the Coleman family case, they are only associated with the black market.

The elder knows what kind of background Mary has before marrying his missing son. Mary was a gang leader back in her younger days. Even though Mary has a suspicious background, she was a perfect match for his son, who has a family with a dark side. That's why he did not become an obstacle between Mary and his son. Up until now, Mary didn't let go of her old gang. Instead, she became their supporter in times of need.

"Yeah! I second that motion! Are you going to let it be?" Alfonso also knows about the Coleman family's dark side and Mary's venture in the past. That is why he is confused about why Mary is not doing anything to bring that little brat Rebecca down!

In fact, he was one of them! His own gang has a rivalry going on with Mary's gang. In the past, they were mortal enemies. Whenever they saw each other, they were in each other's neck, but when Mary's husband came into their lives, things changed between their two gangs, and the result is that they came into an understanding.

"Did I say I'm just gonna let it be?" There was a tad of coldness in Mary's tone that made Alfonso close his mouth instantly. It's been such a long time since he heard that tone, those who are very close to Mary Coleman know her true nature, cold and heartless.

Back in their old days, Mary was also known for being unmerciful in almost all gangs. Also, in the old days, only he and her husband were not afraid of her.

"Then what are you planning?" The elder was curious, and at the same time, he was looking forward to it. He wondered if Mary will use her old gang to scare Rebecca or to torture Rebecca. Well, either way, it is something he's looking forward to.

"Nothing much, really. I'm just gonna be Rebecca's secret benefactress to an elite school." She said as she sipped on her cup of tea. Alfonso and the elder were in utter shock. They couldn't believe that the heartless Mary Coleman they know will be a benefactor on their little foe, isn't that a bit too nice? That's not threatening Rebecca nor torturing. It's making it to Rebecca's advantage.

"The hell..." Those two words are the only words Alfonso can voice. He wondered what kind of poison did Mary digested to be someone that she's not. Could it be that she still recognizes that little brat as Anna's friend or something? If she does, please someone wakes her up.

Mary chuckled as she saw the elder and Alfonso's expression. She expected that much. "That's not the whole plan, you know?"

The elder frowned at Mary, who's keeping him and Alfonso in suspense. "Then, what is the whole plan?"

"I'm gonna be the secret benefactor to Rebecca so she can go to the same school as my twins, and then guess what?" Mary grinned at them, making the two of them much more curious than they already were.

"Can you please tell us already?! I'm getting impatient here!" Alfonso is getting irritated at his friend's behavior. He never liked this kind of behavior of his best friend. It's making him crazy sometimes.

"Anna will do the torture in school. My daughter will make Rebecca get a taste of hell for messing with our family."

Mary told them the whole story on how Anna suggested better torture to Rebecca 'humiliation' that's the thing that Rebecca wants to avoid the most, and that's the most perfect torture she can get. At first, Mary and Aaron were surprised to hear her say that. They never knew that Anna has this kind of side of her at all up until now.

Mary never expected her daughter to be like this. She thought that her daughter is just a sweet little lamb that needed to be protected. Who would've thought that Anna Coleman inherited their family's ruthlessness?

"Whoa... First, this old man is ruthless, your 'missing' husband is ruthless, you're ruthless, your son is ruthless, and now Anna is also like that?! The heck! It runs in the family!" When he heard Alfonso called him 'this old man,' the elder frowned, but he was just going to let it be for now because he listened to a piece of shocking news about his sweet granddaughter.

He never had a thought that Anna would be just like the rest of her family, he always thought that Anna would be the precious odd one in the family, but he's wrong, his granddaughter is just like him, like his son, like her mother, and like her brother, it really does runs in the family.

"I guess it does runs in the family," Mary said while smiling like a proud mother, and so is the elder smiling like a proud grandfather. Alfonso winced at the sight of these two Colem. They are not even worried that their precious sweet heiress is going to be like them. Alfonso is now worried about Anna's future. It looks like it's up to him to make Anna not become a full-time ruthless person like her family.
