"What? Why are you two looking at me like that?" Marcus asked in confusion; the way his grandchildren are looking at him it was as if they are very angry at something he did but he did not know what he did to make them look at him like that.
"It's all your fault why she's doing this to us," Anna said and Aaron nodded in agreement. "But then again that teacher is being childish for something my brother and I did not do. I mean why is she being such a..." Her tone of voice was clear that she is getting more frustrated talking about that annoying teacher of hers.
"B*tch to us?" Aaron said as if wanting to continue what Anna didn't finish saying.
"Aaron!" Mary angrily shouted her son's name, "We are in the middle of having dinner and you say such words!" When it comes to having dinner with everyone else she is very strict not wanting to be rude in front of the food. She would even scold her own father-in-law if he would disrespect the food in front of him.
"Sorry. It won't happen again." Aaron smiled awkwardly at his mother as he apologizes for his mistake. He almost forgot... no, he had forgotten that his mother can be so strict if they are rude in front of the food that other people work hard for. This was one of Aaron's reason to look up to his mother despite the fact that his mother did commit a sin his mother still has her morale.
"Good." Mary smiled gently at her son, "In any case, why are you both blaming it on your grandfather. Hmm?"
For them to blame their own grandfather for their teacher's doing, Anna and Aaron must have done their homework and already has a plan in mind to bring that teacher of theirs down. "Your mother is right. Why are both of you blame me for this?" Marcus asked; his own grandchildren dare to blame him for something he doesn't remember doing. Besides he doesn't even know who on earth is that annoying teacher of theirs. How could he do something towards a person he doesn't even know.
"Well, it wasn't for you firing her father years ago she wouldn't have a grudge against us Colemans, grandfather. But as I said earlier, that teacher is being childish." Anna said as she smiles sweetly at her grandfather but that smile only made Marcus twitches in annoyance. Her smile just reminded him of his son who disappeared from their lives without a word.
'Every passing day you and your twin brother are resembling your father bit by bit and it's very annoying.' Marcus thought. He swears that when he sees that son of his he definitely gonna give him some good beatings for leaving his own family behind. Whatever his son's reason is it is not forgivable to leave his own family who still needed him. He left everything on Mary's hands and as a single mother, she is having a hard time raising her own kids while also managing the Coleman Corporation all her own.
"Please do clarify to me what exactly did I do, my dear grandchildren?" Marcus stopped eating and leaned back on his chair as if readying himself to hear his grandchildren to tell him the reason why is he involved in their own problem.
Anna got tired of talking and explaining things to her mother earlier so she looked at her brother. Aaron saw the looked on her face as if she telepathically telling him that 'It's your turn to explain things.' Aaron sighed in defeat and started to tell his grandfather the story why that teacher of his holding a grudge on them Colemans.
Marcus neatly flat forehead started to wrinkled; he is slowly remembering the incident that happened years ago. He fired her father because he did something so big that is very unforgivable. Her father almost caused Mary to have a miscarriage that day; truth to be told, that teacher's father is lucky that he did not order to kill him for what he had done.
Mary also remembers that person who almost the reason why she was about to lose her twins that day. She could only think what kind of reasons is that person is telling her own daughter to make her hold a grudge against them. Everything that had happened to them has nothing to do with the Colemans. All their actions were all on them, her father-in-law only fired that teacher's father and after that, her father could've searched for another job but he didn't. So if that teacher has to blame someone she has to blame her own father for the misery she experiences.
"Clearly this a false accusation to us!" Marcus angrily said; what he truly hate the most is when people blame him for something he did not do. Sure he fired that guy but it's not his fault that they experienced misery in their life. "You two better do something to that teacher! Make her regret accusing us!" He said to the twins.
Their grandfather was fuming in anger while the twins were grinning mischievously, "Grandfather, we are your grandchildren did you really think that we will let anyone speak wrongly of us?"

[Present time]
"What do I mean by that? Mrs. Brown that teacher next to you..." Nathalia stared at the teacher's direction with an angry expression, "...treats the twins very different from the rest of the class. Don't you think that the twins are being treated unfairly by her? And yet here she is now saying all these nonsense." Nathalia huffed in anger. She can't believe that this very teacher is really shameless; acting like she's the one being treated unfairly when in fact she's doing that to the twins since the very beginning.
"Ms. Vendallin! Just because you are friends with the Coleman twins that doesn't mean that you have to be blind to what's right and what's wrong!" The teacher was gritting her teeth she truly wants to shut Nathalia's mouth right now. She knew that Nathalia would a problem but she did not think much about it because she thinks that Nathalia would be too scared to face the principal, but it looks like that is not the case here.
In the midst of their intense argument to show who is truly being treated unfairly the principal couldn't handle it anymore that she laughed out loud. The scene in front of her is truly a sight.
