Cole had lost to Jay three years ago. It could be said that he was utterly crushed even from the planning stages and in terms of IQ. As such, he never wanted to be in a confrontation with Jay again in his lifetime.
However, Spencer wished that the whole world would be in chaos. Hence, he used a psychological method to provoke Cole with all his might. “My son, Dad is elderly now, so if I’m the one to step forth to get your cousin back, it would be considered taking advantage of the weak. It would be humiliating if word gets out. So, the task of getting your cousin back now rests upon your shoulders.”
Glancing at Cole’s indifferent expression, Spencer started to coax his son again. “You and Jay are both leaders for the new generations in our family. He’s your aunt’s son, and you’re my son. Both of you are Grandpa’s grandsons, so the two of you are Tweedledum and Tweedledee and have your own merits. If you go and get your cousin back, I’m sure you’ll succeed.”
Cole’s eyelids started twitching badly.
Spencer had never praised him before. It had been an abnormal day, so it was clear what the wolf’s real intention was.
“Dad, that’s a truly reasonable and great analysis,” Cole retorted without batting an eyelid.
Spencer touched his chin while smiling and said, “Of course. Is Dad ever unreasonable?”
“But, you’ve overlooked one thing.”
Spencer’s smile froze up. He had a bad feeling about this. “What is it?”
“Innate skill.” Cole gave him a blank look.
Spencer smacked his lips and replied, “Okay. Even if you’re not as talented as your cousin, you still have the Corvettes backing you up, yes?”
Cole said again, “My innate skills might be slightly inferior to him, but you and my aunt’s talent are poles apart.”
There was a profound disgust in his eyes.
Spencer was stunned.
Cole’s final blow then completely crumbled Spencer mercilessly. “Even if I have the Corvettes, they can’t make up for the world of difference in IQ between you and Aunty.”
A weak voice was suddenly heard coming out of Jay’s lips. “Zayne!”
Zayne heard Jay calling out to him, and he hurried to his bedside. He asked eagerly, “You’re awake, Big Brother?”
Jay’s incomparably sunken peach blossom eyes showed a hint of mourning tears. “I want to know what happened during Angeline’s accident. All of it… Including…”
Jay paused slightly. The thought of Angeline getting bullied by Cole made his heart ache to the point that he could not breathe.
“Why did that scumbag Cole bully her?” The blood in his eyes shot up again.
Josephine and Zayne did not know much about this matter. At this moment, Sis Shirley, who had been silent, sighed and said, “Don’t worry, Jay. That night, Little Angeline was merely frightened by him. Cole did not manage to bully her.”
Her voice was getting weaker and weaker, and her hands were tightly holding onto her sleeves due to shame.
