Chapter 321 Hypocrisy
Colin's cruelty was engraved in his bones.
His tough living environment nourished his ruthlessness since his childhood.
Hearing what Colin said, Hank reached for the cigarette on the coffee table, and his face darkened.
Colin fished out a lighter from his pocket. He fiddled with it and then flung it into Hank's arms.
Hank caught it and looked down to light his cigarette but failed.
Hank's hand holding the lighter did not shake, while every time he rolled the metal spark down, he missed it.
Four or five times later, Hank clenched his teeth and clutched the lighter without moving.
Colin looked sideways at Hank and stretched out his hand, saying, "Allow me."
With that, Colin snatched the lighter from Hank's hand and lit the cigarette in Hank's mouth. "Hank, birds of different feathers do not flock together," said Colin.
Hank took a puff of the cigarette and asked, "Do you know why Grandpa has been siding with my mother?"
Colin put the lighter back into his pocket before sitting down again. "It doesn't tickle my fancy," said he coldly.
Hank took the cigarette off the corner of his mouth. Regardless of what Colin said, Hank continued, "Apart from the reason that she has done a lot of lousy things for Grandpa, it's because of my maternal grandpa."
Colin was not interested in what Hank said. He looked down and caught sight of the bells on his wrist.
During the day, the bells were bound by the cuff, so they could not make any sound.
At the moment, even a slight move of his wrist would make the bells jingle.
Receiving no reply from Colin, Hank paused for a while before saying, "Colin, my mother is also pathetic."
Colin finally reacted to Hank's words and looked at him lazily. "What does it have to do with me?" asked Colin.
Hank lost his tongue.
Just because she was pathetic, she could hurt others unscrupulously?
Just because she was pathetic, she didn't have to pay the price for what she had done evilly?
If that was the case, everyone might as well be someone pathetic.
Anyway, in the name of being pathetic, people could just discard their dignity and didn't tell right from wrong.
At this point, there was no need for them to continue the conversation.
Colin stood up and slowly rolled down his cuffs. He then stated with mockery and indifference, "Hank, you're neither sheerly kind nor bad enough."
Hank asked instead, "What about you?"
Colin broke into a smile and looked at him, uttering, "I never said I was a nice person."
Hank had been suppressed by Colin in all respects tonight. At that moment, he suddenly wanted to retort as he asked, "Are you bad enough?"
Colin smiled faintly and said, "You bet. Did you see me be kind to you guys?"
