You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 975

“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!
