Chapter 44
Chapter 44 He’s My Elder Brother
However, it was Brian’s treat today and she did not dare to decide on his behalf. Hence, she looked toward Brian. It was fine had
Camila not looked at him, but once she did, she was startled by how he looked. Brian’s face seemed gloomy as if a heavy
downpour was about to happen. His eyes glared furiously at Silas while he pursed the corners of his lips tightly without saying a
single word. On the other hand, Silas’s face was indifferent as he looked at Brian and asked, “How’s your body?” Brian’s gaze
turned haughty; he was the complete opposite from the warm, handsome man he was before. “What does it have to do with
you?!” Camila was slightly shocked and looked toward Silas and then at Brian again. What relation did these two have? Before
she had a proper understanding of the entire situation, Penny opened her mouth and said, “Why are you acting like this, brother?
Silas’s concerned about you, so how could you say such things?” Soon after, Brian opened his mouth; his tone of voice was
chilly as he spoke to Penny. “Don’t call me your brother. I don’t have a sister like you!” At this moment, Silas did not wait for
Penny to speak. Instead, he continued, “Whether you want to recognize her as your sister, you’re still a part of the Nolan Family.
Mom already passed away a long time ago, so it’s better to let go of the past.” All of a sudden, Brian became agitated. He then
immediately stood up; his eyes were bloodshot as he exploded, “If you want to acknowledge this, then, by all means, be my
guest. However, I’m not as forgetful as you. My mom suffered from so many humiliations and I remember each and every one of
them. If you’re willing to enjoy all the glory and wealth by licking someone’s boots, then go ahead and do it yourself. Please don’t
come and disgust me with all this! Now, get out of my sight!” “What’s so great about you, Brian? Who’s still willing to take care of
you?” Penny puffed as she dragged Silas and was about to leave. Silas did not budge. Instead, his eyes felt heavy as he looked
at Brian and asked, “Brian, Grandpa is sick. Do you have time to visit him?” On the other hand, Brian snorted. “He’s your
grandpa. You can keep the opportunity to brownnose him to yourself!” Silas gave a cold snort. He looked at both Brian and
Camila with intense eyes before leaving with Penny. As the entire situation unfolded before her, Camila was stunned. What
exactly was happening?
She carefully looked at Brian and noticed that he was already sitting on the ground. His face remained gloomy while his entire
body exuded a terrifying hostility. “A-Are you okay?” Brian took a deep breath and remained silent. Instead, he opened up the
candy box Camila had gifted him. He then took out a candy with green wrapping, opened it, and stuffed it into his mouth. Camila
did not say anything more and sat quietly opposite him.
Perhaps it took ten minutes; perhaps it took even longer.
When Brian was about to finish eating the candy, he slowly opened his mouth and uttered, “He’s my elder brother.” Camila was
shocked to hear this. “Who are you talking about? Silas? Are you a part of the Nolan family too?” Brian then continued, “I’m not a
part of them since ten years ago.” Camila was stunned again. “Why? Erm, it’s okay if you don’t want to tell me.” Brian’s dimmed
eyes looked into the distance as if he was recalling the memories from many years ago. “There’s nothing I can’t talk about.
They’re not ashamed of it anyways, so I can just say whatever I want to. The relationship between families of the wealthy is more
apathetic. Only self-interests are eternal. More than ten years ago, in order to marry Penny’s mother, Lara Roberts, Edward
deliberately framed my mom for cheating on him so that he could divorce her. In the end, he succeeded in doing so and
managed to force my mom out of the house. I still cannot figure out how a man could be so heartless.”
Camila was also in disbelief. This man Brian talked about was crueler than her own dad. “Were the Roberts wealthy?” Brian took
a deep breath before adding, “Yes. They’re loaded. Even more so than the Nolan Group. I was twelve years old that year. Silas
and I knew that our mom was being framed in this incident. However, we did not have evidence. Hence, I discussed with Silas
that by the time the divorce rolled around, we would have to choose our mom as a way of supporting her. Nonetheless, I did not
expect that he would choose to follow Edward after their divorce.”
