Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âSomething happened within the Lodge family. Do you know about it?â Arianna asked.
âYou mean that the old man from the Lodge family is dead?â Nathaniel calmly replied as he started to clean up his bottles while studying them closely.
âOf course, thatâs not all. Have you heard of Henry Lodge?â Arianna sat on Nathanielâs chair and looked at him. âSince youâre Lilyâs exâboyfriend, you must know a thing or two about the Lodge family, right?â
Nathaniel sneered mockingly as the fingers that were fiddling with the incense stopped. Moments later, he continued, acting as if nothing had happened, âIf it werenât for Mother telling me about it, I wouldnât have known she was from the Lodge family. So, how much do you think I know?â
âHuh?â His answer surprised Arianna. âWow, you were quite a horrible boyfriend then.â
âThatâs all in the past now!â His downcast eyes showed no emotions. âWhy are you here, Ari? Iâm sure itâs not just to lecture me.
Arianna drawled while playing with a pen on Nathanielâs office table, âSince you donât know the Lodge familyâ¦â
âDid I say Iâm not familiar with them?!â Nathaniel snapped.
âDidnât youâ¦â Arianna was shocked. Just a while ago, he said he did not even know Lily was from the Lodge family, so how much could he possibly know about the family?
âJust because I didnât know much about them last time doesnât mean Iâm still clueless. Also, it shouldnât mean Iâll continue being ignorant.â Nathaniel stopped studying his incense bottle. and stared at his sister.
Then he smiled coyly and continued, âHenry Lodge is that old manâs youngest son, but heâs not much older than either Lily or Justin. He shouldâve been the one to inherit the family head position, but he left the family years ago, and no one had heard of his whereabouts since. The Lodge family never tried searching for him, so it was as if theyâd forgotten that he existed.â
His information was accurate, so Arianna nodded and commented, âThatâs right, no one had expected him to return to the family at a time like this. Besides, his timing was impeccable. Who knew something this huge had happened within the Lodge family?â
âIt was no coincidence at all,â Nathaniel smirked as he lifted his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose and sneezed softly. âDo you know why Henry left the Lodge family in the first place?â
âYou know the reason?â Arianna lifted an eyebrow and turned to him with interest.
It took a lot of work to obtain detailed information about the Lodge family. Arianna had personally tried to dig for information, but as the family was very lowâprofile, information about them was scarce.
Hence, there was a limited amount of information about Henry too.
She only knew he had left the family ten years ago, but she was sure no one knew what he had been up to or where he had gone all these years. Besides, no one cared about him after he left the family.
âThe Lodge family is a mysterious and influential family skilled in kickboxing. There arenât many families skilled in martial arts anymore in todayâs modern society. Henry was gifted in martial arts and was supposed to take over as the family head. Still, for some reason, the family banished and stripped him of his ability to practice the Lodge familyâs kickboxingâ¦â
âWait, did you just say banished?â Arianna could not help but interrupt Nathaniel, shocked by this discovery.
Nathaniel stopped, glanced at her briefly, and nodded.
âIs your information credible?â Arianna frowned as she was skeptical of Nathanielâs information. âIf he were banished, that wouldâve been huge news. Even if they tried to hide it, the Lodge family elders wouldâve heard of this. Why would they still side with Henry, knowing he got banished from the family?â
cup of tea âThis is getting interesting,â Nathaniel took a seat in front of Arianna and took the he had made a while ago. He took a sip and drawled under Ariannaâs intense gaze, âThis could only mean that they were tied together by greed and a shared interest!â
