Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 187

“Burn those who burned me!”

Chapter 187

The Rochester’s POV:

The day the Rochesters received a birthday invitation from House Christiansen, Calvin was elated. He saw this as a sign that House Christiansen was ready to merge the families.

“Perhaps that useless girl did something right.”

He thought to himself as he prepared for bed. For the past three months, Calvin had been trying to reach Graceland. All the attempts, however, had been in vain. She no longer had the same phone

number, and she never provided any updated information. For weeks Calvin fumed about her ungratefulness and lack of respect.

“How dare she shut this family out!!! That ungrateful ingrate! I’m her father! Over three weeks with House Christiansen and she hasn’t set any type of business meetings up!”

CRASH!!!

Calvin threw his glass of gin at the wall as he cursed Graceland. Noah and Brian rushed into the

study curious about what the ruckus was.

“What the hell happened in here?”

Noah questioned as he slowly walked into the room. Brian trailed behind him; a puzzled look on his face as he saw the stain from the gin on the wall.

“Dad…are you okay?”

“No! I want to know what the hell is going on with your sister!”

Brian’s face twisted up, of all the brothers, he held the highest disdain for Graceland. He couldn’t figure out why someone who didn’t grow up with the same resources as he did be better than him in so many ways. Graceland was smarter than him and more talented. She was actually more superior than all of them. And whereas he took full advantage of her talents, he still hated that he had to resort to such behavior just so succeed.

Since she had been gone, his grades suffered significantly, and his father and Noah noticed.

“Are

you telling me the only way you can pass a test is if Graceland cheats and take it for you?”

:

Noah stood firm with irritation in his voice as he confronted Brian about yet another failed test. As he scolded Brian, Noah couldn’t help but think about all the things that had changed since

Graceland left.

In addition to Brian and Olivia’s grades, Cole was suffering from ‘writers block‘. The truth was that Graceland had composed some of his best pieces. Cole was a fairly talented pianist, but Graceland was on the level of a prodigy. Her ability to compose flawless pieces fell into the shadows of Cole who used her work for his advancement in Kingston’s grand orchestra.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do! My conductor is threatening to demote me as lead pianist and composer! Has anyone heard from Grace? I need her help!”

Cole paced as he panicked thinking about his position.

Sharon sat silent. Since Graceland’s departure, she had mixed feelings. On one hand, she was glad that pest was gone. But on the other hand….she hated how Graceland embraced Marla Christiansen as if she were her mother.

“That little bitch! Treating that woman like she’s her mother! I knew she would be nothing but trouble!

Benard…you screw up!!‘

Her thoughts rattled on as the family continued to suffer at the loss of Graceland’s depature. It wasn’t until the birthday invitation that they felt any hope might come.

“This is good! We can ask her to come to the estate for a few weeks and help!”

Cole exclaimed as he read the invitation.

“What makes you think she’ll come back here? If you ask me…she was a little too eager to leave.”

Brian scoffed as he scanned the TV for something to watch.

Noah’s brows furrowed as Cole responded.

“Of course she would. Look, Graceland may not be one of us, but she’s always been desperate for our approval. Besides, she’ll probably leap at the chance to stop playing maid and nurse to her comatose

husband.”

Brian and Olivia laughed hysterically at Cole’s comment.

“Oh! Big brother! Do you think I can get Graceland to complete my homework!”
