A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 95: Cole Scott; The Doubt.

What family secret? Cole asked himself as he dropped the phone

Despite his anger, curiosity raced inside him. He glanced at his father, tho was sleeping soundly

This was the first ne he had seen Patrick Bentt

kak, and Cole d-dn't know how to fext

Geoffrey was curled up on the small couch, sleeping as well With nothing else to do, and Ivy's odd statement

piercing his heart, Cole left the room quietly and proceeded to Dr Coffins office

The office was situated far from the room, so Cole walked quickly before his Dad or Geoffrey woken

He found the office and knocked

"Yes, cin," Di Collins said.

Cole entered the white room

Dr Collins lifted his head from his table 'Ah, Mr Scott hope everything is okay?

Cole frowned at the title He hated being called Mr Scott

"Everything is good" he replied, sitting opposite the doctor's table "I just wanted to ask you squestions"

"Alright Dr Collins said, straightening up.

Cole sighed, not knowing how to begin. "lvy toldwe have sfamily secrets you know about "

Di Collins's brow lifted Tamily secrets? | never told her that."

Cole sighed with rebel. He already knew Ivy was lying

only told her that your mother hinted that there was trouble at home, which could have contributed to her

depression Dr Collins said

Cole's heart flipped. What was this?

"What do you mean troubles at home?" he asked, hearing the fear in his voice.

Dr Collins leaned forward. "I meant in her marriage"

"My mother's marriage was fine," he countered immediately.

Dr Collins sighed. "Ivy said the same. And like | told her, your mother didn't say that directly"

Cole's chest tightened with dread. His parents' marriage had been fine. If there had been issues, he would have

been the first to know

And then his fear switched to anger-towards Ivy.

"You didn't have any right to share that information with Ivy he snapped.

Dr Collins's eyes widened with surprise. "She's your sister, | thought it was-

"She's no longer my sister," Cole interrupted. "She's nobody now."

"But that's her mother too," Dr Collins countered. "And by law, | have "

"Fuck the law!" Cole stood up, anger coursing in his veins. “She is no longer my sister and she had no right. If

you give her private information again, I'll take you to court!" He stormed out of the office before Dr Collins could

respond

When Cole reached the hallway, he panted. Why did he do that? It was so unnecessary

"Damn," he groaned out loud as embarrassment took over.

He was scared, and like the pussy he was, he had turned that fear into anger for

Ivy He couldn't believe-didn't want to believe-that his parents had issues.

So many things weren't adding up and he was beginning to doubt a lot of things. He would ask his father, Patrick

was sure to tell it as it was

He proceeded back to his father's room, and was surprised to see that Patrick was awake, but Geoffrey was still

sleeping "Where did you go?" his father demanded. Even in sickness, Patrick was still authoritative

"I went to get something,” he lied, averting his eyes.

Patrick coughed gently. "Has Abram gotten bar

the deal went."

Cole rolled his eyes inwardly. Even now, his fat

"No, he hasn't," he said, moving closer to the bed. "But I'm sure he will soon"

"Givethe phone. | want to call him myself," Patrick ordered

A frown set on Cole's face. "You can't conduct business in this state. You need all the rest you can-"

"Is it your fucking business?" Patrick snapped "Givethe damn phone!" Cole was stunned, but he quickly

brought out the phone, and stretched it out. "Dial the number Patrick ordered again, his tone firm despite his

exhaustion. Cole flinched slightly as he dialed the number. It rang, but Abram didn't pick up "He is not picking,"

he said.

"Try again," Patrick hissed

As Cole redialed the number, Geoffrey stretched and woke up. The number rang again and still went unanswered

"He's not answering," Cole said, his voice wobbly a little.

"When he calls back, | want to know immediately, Patrick instructed,

Cole's chest tightened as he nodded. He had just gotten back from Canada, running errands like a little boy, yet

Patrick didn't trust him with affairs of the company.

He knew how unempathetic Patrick could be, but he thought that after doing everything, Patrick might get to

respect him. Maybe even acknowledge him.

Afterall, he was the only child who stayed to help.

Unable to stand the hurt, Cole moved to the door. "I'll be right back, he murmured and left.

In the hallway, he exhaled, tapping his forehead lightly. Was it possible that Ivy

was right? "No," he groaned, unwilling to accept that theory.

He began to pace to clear the thoughts in his head. He needed answers, but how

was

"Cole?" Geoffrey called, interrupting him.

Cole turned to him. "Hey Geo."

"Are you okay?" Geoffrey asked with a frown.

he going to get them?

"Yes," Cole replied and then sighed. "I just found out something weird," he said truthfully. “And | want to ask Dad,

but | can't." Geoffrey's frown deepened. "Is it about money? | don't think-"

"No," he cut in. "It's about my mother. | really just want to know."

Geoffrey scoffed. "Then ask. He will tell,"

"It's not that simple."

"It is," Geoffrey insisted. "Just ask."

Cole looked at the encouraging smile on Geoffrey's face and nodded.

"Anyways, I'm going inside," Geoffrey said, turning towards the door. "Just ask "Alright, | will. Thank you," Cole

said with a nod as Geoffrey went back inside. him."

Cole sighed again and made his way inside. Patrick still had that tight expression on his face, and Geoffrey was

on the couch.

"Were you able to reach Abram?" Patrick asked in that sannoyed tone.

"No," Cole said, shaking his head.

He sighed. It was now or never.

"Hey Dad," Cole began. "I would like to ask you a question,” he said, exchanging looks with Geoffrey.

Patrick immediately saw the looks. "Geoffrey is also now my son. Anything you have to ask me, do so in his

presence."

Cole swallowed "Yes, 1-"

"So go ahead, Cole, | don't have all day" his father interrupted rudely

Patrick was stuck to the bed. Where else was he going? Cole wondered but didn't

dare ask out loud

"Did you and Mom have issues?" he asked, his stomach knotting with fear.

"Issues?" Patrick frowned. "What sort of issues?"

Cole stepped closer, "Marital issues."

Patrick's frown deepened. "Where the fuck did you hear that from?"

His heart pounded with fright, but it was too late now. He couldn't stop. "Dr

Collins," he said-not wanting to mention Ivy- toldMom had depression, and it might have been caused by-"

"What the fuck, Cole? Patrick flared. "What sort of unintelligent question is this? | loved my wife and she loved

Geoffrey rushed to his side, and began to pat his back gently

Cole moved closer too, but beneath his fear was an unexpected

emotion
