A Cue For Happiness Chapter 153

Chapter 153

Kenneth alighted the Maybach that pulled up nearby. He then walked toward Franklin and Sophia withan Icy expression before lecturing, “What kind of behavior is this? I heard that you two have beentreating Yara poorly, but this is unacceptable! She gave birth to the both of you after ten difficult monthsof pregnancy. Is this how you repay your mother’s hardships?”

The twins fell silent as that was the first time Kenneth had yelled at them with such a harsh tone.

However, the twins refused to give in.

They thought in unison, Treat Yara as our mother? Never! Over our dead bodies!

“Great-grandpa, I’ve done nothing wrong!” Franklin exclaimed. “That woman started it! She forced us tocall her our mommy, and she even hurt Sophia! I told her to let Sophia go, but she refused! Sophia wascrying in pain!”

He would not have reacted so violently if Yara had chosen to hurt him instead of his sister.

Meanwhile, Kenneth’s arrival had surprised Yara too. She did not expect him to witness Franklin’sattack on her but was pleased that it worked in her favor.

Yara knew the twins harbored a great deal of respect for Kenneth. Thus, she decided to brainwash thelatter into taking her side. That way, the twins would have to think twice before ever disobeying heragain.

“It’s my fault…” she uttered, fake tears rolling down her cheeks. “I know that you two don’t like me verymuch, but I’ve been trying my best. All I wanted was for us to spend some quality time today. I didn’tthink that you guys hated me that much…”

“You’re a wicked woman!” Franklin clenched his jaw. “Who would want to spend quality time with you?Why don’t you talk about how you hurt Sophia?”

“I would never do that!” Yara uttered pitifully. “I’m your mother! Plus, all I want is to spoil Sophia rotten.Why would I ever hurt her?”

“You’re lying!” Franklin rebuked.

Yara feigned a hurt expression as she said, “Fine. This is all my fault, okay? Please don’t be upset…”

Franklin was a smart kid, but he could never win against Yara’s sly acting.

Kenneth was losing his patience as he stood by and listened.

Eventually, he had enough and bellowed furiously, “Shut your lips, Franklin! I will punish you once weget home!”

Franklin and Sophia were the precious twins of the Bowers family.

Even Steven had to give in to them when they played tricks on him.

The only people that the twins feared were Samuel and Kenneth.

Thus, the twins obediently entered the car under Kenneth’s instruction.

Sophia glanced over at her brother with an anxious look. “F-Franklin… Franklin…”

“Don’t be afraid, Sophia…” Deep down, Franklin was afraid of whatever punishment awaited them athome. However, he did not want Sophia to worry, so he reassured her, “I’m not afraid of a littlepunishment! I would rather suffer than apologize to that woman!”

Sophia nodded but held tightly onto her teddy bear out of guilt.

She secretly felt bad that Franklin was getting punished for protecting her.

Once they got home, Kenneth sat in front of the twins at the Bowers residence’s living room.

It was the first time that the two witnessed Kenneth’s anger, and thus, they were starting to worry.

Yara, who sat beside Kenneth, felt utterly pleased with the situation.

Even without Samuel’s help, she was confident that she could deal with the twins; After all, she hadKenneth’s support.

“Grandpa, I’m fine…” Yara pretended to assure as she exposed the wound on her arm. “I haven’t beena good mother. I failed to spend quality time with them while they were growing up. I am to blame forour estranged relationship… Everything is my fault!”

“Blood runs thicker than water,” Kenneth emphasized firmly. “Family comes first. Yet, those two don’tseem to understand something fundamental like respect for family members at all.”

The twins remained silent.

Family comes first?They thought to themselves.

Does Great-grandpa think we’re idiots?Of course, we understand the importance of respect within ourfamily! But this woman isn’t our Mommy!

“I want you both to prove that you’ve learned your lesson by apologizing to Yara at once!” Kennethordered.
