"Today is the day you meet all the Gibson family," Hannah said.
Avery sat in the swing beside Hannah. She will be lying if she says she was excited to meet the other family members. Hannah turned to look at her, and a smile appeared on her lips when she saw the uneasiness on Avery's face.
"I know you're not really excited to meet them. But can you do me a favour?"
"Yeah, sure. What is it?"
Hannah held Avery's hand and squeezed it lightly.
"Can you be by his side. Please don't leave him alone with those people."
Avery knitted her brows together.
"I don't get you?
Hannah took a deep breath before saying." I guess it's time to know the real Gibson."
Hannah stared at the abyss.
"Alex's parents died on his sixteenth birthday. His uncle Lennox Gibson planned everything. In the Gibson household, the eldest is supposed to get the greatest share of the property. But Lennox didn't like the idea of that, he wanted everything yo himself, even though he was going to get the greatest share. My father didn't like the behaviour Lennox was portraying. He was the eldest, but he only thought of himself and parties. So my father, Anthony, decided to give the greatest part to Rue, Alex's father, who helped in growing the family business. Lennox then got married to one of our allies. My father wanted him to be responsible. So he suggested that if Lennox had a family, he would be responsible. But that wasn't so. He kept partying. Rue also got married to her best friend. On Alex's sixteenth birthday, my father decided to share the properties. Lennox's secretary eavesdropped on my father's decision to give the greatest part to Rue. Upon hearing that, Lennox was overwhelmed with rage. Once a happy day turned into something gloomy. The party took place in this manor, Alex's parents drove from the family company to the manor. And that is where the unfortunate happened. They had an accident on the highway due to a brake failure. After the investigation, Lennox was the prime suspect and was sentenced to life imprisonment. My father died a few days later. Lennox left his wife and two kids. Jolly, Lennox's wife is the she devil herself. If you can just cope with her."
Hannah sniffed back the tears which threatened to fall but she held them back. She turned to her side and Avery's face was wet with tears.
"Let's go inside, shall we?" Hannah suggested
