Chapter 36 - In denial

"Aunty Clara stop lying here. Yes I admit that your family took me in and paid for my tuition fee and I'm very grateful for that. I will be forever be grateful for that. But ask yourself, how has family been treating me all this while when I've been in your house, from the moment that I got into your house I always been treated worse than a dog in . Since I got to your house I've been the one doing almost everything in your house from cleaning to washing dishes, to washing clothes and on top of that you always scold me a belittled me and at times I go to bed without eating but I've never complained not even once. Ask yourself Aunty Clara, since I got to your house whenever have you ever bought me clothes and now you are saying that you clothes me?"

When Aunty Clara saw how the students were looking at her she panicked and shouted and said "stop lying you poor pauper"

John retorted back "I'm not lying and you know it. Is it a lie Uncle?"

The way John said the "Uncle" he was being sarcastic about it.

Being put on the spot Benjamin Lewis decided to change the topic and said "that's not why we are here. Let me ask you this, did you order someone to break my son's leg?"

"No" John lied with a straight face

Aunty Clara shouted viciously "you liar. You son of a bitch I know you did that. Stop lying"

"Let me ask you, how are so sure that I did that?" John asked calmly

Aunty Clara shouted "Because Jacob told us"

"Haha and you believe him. We all know that Jacob is a big liar. For all we know he might have offended someone and got his legs broken and he's too afraid to say it to you and now he just wants me to take the blame for it again as usual." John spoke so calmly without any emotional fluctuations.

"You are lying. What do you mean by my son wants you take the blame for it?. I know you did it. My son is not that kind of a person." Aunty Clara couldn't control her emotions and began to shout hysterically.

"I was just waiting for you to say that. Didn't your son Frame me for stealing your Money Uncle?" John looked at Benjamin and asked.

Benjamin put on a perplex expression and asked "what are you talking?"

"From your expression is either you are a good actor or Your precious Son didn't tell you anything. What I'm saying is that Your precious son Jacob stole your money and put it in my room to frame me for it" John said.

"Is a lie my son will never do that. You are lying". Aunty Clara looked at John viciously and said. At the same she was wondering where John got his courage from to talk back at them in such a way.

Aunty Clara was not the only one thinking that way even Benjamin was thinking the same. He couldn't come up with any idea how the docile John he knew has changed in just barely 24hrs.

John put on a surprise expression and said "oh is that so? But I have a video of your son here in my phone confessing to his crimes. Do you want to see it? So tell me if your son could lie about that to frame me, then tell me why couldn't he do the same with this one as well. I will say it again I had no hand in your son's misfortune."

As John was saying that he sent the video in which Jacob was confessing to his Uncle's phone.

"It Is a lie, it is a lie, you made that up. You break my son's leg. You will pay for this you heartless bastard. You did, you did" Aunty Clara behaved as if she has gone mad when John took out the video of Jacob confessing, she was almost rushing to attack John if she was not held back by Benjamin .

She couldn't think straight again especially when she recalled how her precious son might never walk straight again.

John put on a perplex expression and said "Why are you so sure that I did it Aunty Clara? It is that you know who did that to your son and just like him you both have connived to make me take the blame again. Because despite this evidence against your son you still insist that I did it. Is it that your precious can never do anything bad? What do you think Uncle?"

Aunty Clara kept shaking her head and said to her husband "yes, yes, my precious son. Why are you not saying anything? Are you just going to let the culprit who break your son legs go scot free. Be a man and do something. I want him to rot in jail for the rest of his life for doing that to my precious son. Yes, yes. You must lock this criminal up."

Aunty kept on behaving as if she has gone mad. Seeing his wife behaving like that in public and with all the people watching, Benjamin felt a tinge in his heart.

Benjamin patted his wife back and said trying to comfort her "Calm down, I will handle it for you. I will make him pay for what he has done to our son" he turned towards John and said "all I know is that you did that to my son. Since you said that he framed you up then you had the biggest motive. I'm sure you did that to him in order for you to get back your revenge on him. I will make you pay for it. I will make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail."

After hearing what Benjamin said, John just shook his head and said with a bitter expression "I had a tiny bit of hope that you would at least do what is right but I've been disappointed yet again. I'm going to ask you this again one more time, have you ever seen me as your nephew at all for once in your life?"

Benjamin didn't pay attention to what John said at said instead "cut the crap, after breaking my son's leg do you still expect me to see you as my nephew, today I'm going to discipline you in the name....." As Benjamin was talking, his phone rang.
