Chapter 11 - Chased out

When her husband didn't say anything after she said that, Aunty Clara became even more angry "Benjamin why are you not saying anything. I want this poor beggar out of this house immediately. Is either he goes or I leave this house with my children. You choose. Why are you still trying to be reasonable with a thief. He has been stealing your money for a very long time and now that he has been caught red handed he still doesn't want to admit to it. What if one day he ends up selling us just because of his love for money. I just want him out of here immediately. I don't want him to corrupt my kids"

When Benjamin Lewis heard the threat coming from his wife saying that she would leave if John doesn't, he knew that he had to make a choice now so he turned towards John and said "John I brought you here with the sole intention of helping you better your life but what did you do? Instead of trying to do something productive with your life, you ended up being a thief. It was my mistake for trusting you so blindly by bringing you here but right now your stay in this house is over. I want you to leave my house immediately. You should be lucky that I'm being so kind by not handing you over to the police"

"What are you still waiting for? Didn't you hear what my Dad said. GET OUT" Caroline shouted at John's face

"Like I said earlier Uncle I didn't steal your money but I know that what I say would not be accepted as the truth. But Uncle I have a question for you, have you ever seen me as your nephew at all? Because ever since I came to your house I have suffered from one humiliation to another from your family but you have just been watching from the side and had never said or done anything about it. So is it a sin to be poor? The fact that I'm poor doesn't make me less of a human does it? I know my parents are poor but my father is your brother isn't he? So the fact that we are poor means that you don't see us as family is that it?"

After hearing John's series of questions, Benjamin became angry and said with disgust "When I was struggling in life where was that stupid brother of mine. All he knew how to do was to waste his time idling around and don't you dare call me your uncle because we aren't related all"

When John heard the second half of his Uncle's statement, he widened his eyes in shock and asked "What do you mean we are not related?"

Benjamin came back to his senses when he realized that he had said too much and he tried to avoid that topic "never mind. Just get out of my house and I don't ever want to see your face again"

Since he didn't want to say it, John didn't think much about it and said "can I at least get my clothes?"

"Hahaha you called these rags that you are putting on clothes? Don't make me laugh, ok go ahead and take those rags you called clothes and get out of here immediately" Jacob said to John in disdain.

When John walked towards his room to get his clothes, he over-heard Jacob's voice from behind saying "Dad I will follow him to his room to make sure he doesn't steal anything"

When John got to his room and started packing his clothes, Jacob badged in and started laughing "how do you like the drama?"

John ignored him and continue packing his clothes. Jacob didn't get angry after being ignored, instead he said "you will always be beneath me you poor beggar and just remember that wherever I see you, I will make you suffer. From your expression i can guess that you already know that I was the one who framed you up. So what if you know, nobody will believe you even if you say it, so just be a good dog and leave and I wish you a pleasant miserable life you poor beggar" "Hahaha" Jacob laughs after he said that.

When John finished packing his clothes, he carried his luggage and walked in front of Jacob while furiously glaring at him.

Jacob became scared after seeing John's glared, he took a step back while saying "what do you want to do?

John just glared at him and didn't say anything, after glaring at him for a long time, John just left the room without saying anything.

When John left the room, Jacob held his beating heart and calmed down because John's glared scared the shit out of him because for a second he thought John was going hit him. After calming down, he followed John out of the room.

John strolled out of his room and walked towards the door without looking at everyone.

As he walked towards the door, he heard Aunty Clara's voice from behind "so the useless piece of trash has finally decided to come out of his room. Wait. Stop right there "

John stopped in his tracks to listen to what Aunty Clara has to say when he heard Aunty Clara saying to Jacob "Jacob have you watched him closely to make sure that he hasn't stolen anything from us again?"

"Yes mom I have" Jacob reassured his mother

"That's my good son. Now you trash get out of my house because the sight of you disgust me" Aunty Clara snorted coldly and said to John in disdain.

John just bowed down his head and left the house.

But who would thought that after John Lewis left the house would be the start of his brighter days.
