“Dad.” Bryan controlled his temper and greeted his father.
“Oh, now you remember I'm your father? If I hadn't said anything, would you have acknowledged me?” Darius spat.
The edges of Bryan's lips twitched. Stifling his fury, he explained, “How can you say that, Dad? It's Benjamin's fault. He's the reason I'm angry.”
“What are you angry about? Did he do something wrong? Even if he did, you're partly in the wrong for shouting like a madman soon after arriving here. You are his elder brother, so act like one!” The old man glared at Bryan.
Frustrated, Bryan argued, “Can you stop being so biased, Dad? My family business is on the verge of collapse!”
Then, he glowered at his younger brother. “If Benjamin hadn't targeted me, I wouldn't have been this angry!”
Calmly, Benjamin wiped the corners of his lips.
However, before he could say anything, Darius spoke up. “Don't think I have no idea what you did just because I don't concern myself with the family business anymore! You only have yourself to blame for what happened because you schemed against your brother first!”
Bryan's expression changed.
“Your inability to continue running the family business speaks of your incompetence! If there's nothing else, get out of our sight! Don't you see we're eating here?” The scowling old man didn't at all care
whether his eldest son had dinner yet or not.
Frowning, Bryan glanced at the table and was stunned when he saw six children with identical faces. Are they all Benjamin's kids?
They all wore a grimace on their countenances, clearly expressing their disdain for him.
It was only natural that they disliked their uncle, who shouted at and seemingly bullied their father.
“Dad, this is...” Bryan swept his gaze past the dining table and noticed Arissa's unfamiliar face. Is she their mother?
“She's Arissa York, your sister-in-law and the mother of the sextuplets!” Darius introduced. “Issa, he's my eldest son, Bryan!”
“Hello, Bryan!” Arissa stood to greet him but was dragged back down to her seat by her husband.
“Don't act so friendly toward him! He doesn't see you as part of the family!” Benjamin uttered.
While Arissa felt awkward, Bryan's expression turned even gloomier. “Can you not put words into my mouth, Benjamin? Who says I don't treat you all as part of the family?”
Glaring coldly at his older brother, Benjamin snapped, “You should listen to what you're saying!”
The man didn't even think of showing respect to Bryan, who was the eldest child of the family.
Bryan promptly flew into a rage when he noticed his brother's mocking smile. “Do you treat me as part of the family, then? You do realize you're driving me into a corner, right?”
In response, Benjamin smirked. “Did I do something?”
Bryan was stumped. Sure, he didn't, but what he's allowing to happen is crueler than what he would've done! Those people will flock to whoever is capable of granting them benefits! novelbin
“When it comes to businesses, it's every man for himself!” Gazing at him icily, Benjamin roared, “You were the one who tested my limits, so don't blame me for retaliating!”
“You!” Bryan was livid. I know how ruthless he can be, but I didn't expect he would actually take action against me!
“There are some things you shouldn't covet!”
Bryan was rendered speechless by his brother's retort.
“Why are the two of you bickering over such a trivial matter? You may not want to eat, but we do!” Darius reprimanded Bryan. It wasn't easy to get Benjamin back here for dinner, yet Bryan's here to ruin everything!
With a foul expression, Bryan sat at the dining table. “I haven't eaten yet!”
Subsequently, he glared at his brother again. “How does ruining me benefit you in any way, Benjamin?”
Benjamin couldn't be bothered to quarrel with him, so he responded wordlessly by putting on a mocking expression.
“Are you here to eat or annoy us? If you don't want to eat, get out of here! I didn't invite you home for dinner!” Darius bellowed angrily once again.
Bryan glowered when he noticed his father was on Benjamin's side.
