Chapter 253 - Luck

Rolando didn't go out today. When everyone arrived at his house, Rolando was sitting in the courtyard and cleaning the grass he had just plucked. No one knew what he was going to do with it. He did not look up when he heard someone coming. Only after he finished the cleaning did he look up at others.

First, he glanced at Emily, who he had seen before, and then he looked at Vincent.

Mr. Rolando revealed a thoughtful expression. Then, he looked at Emily again and heard her say, "Mr. Rolando, he's very important to me. I hope you can cure him."

Vincent looked at Mr. Rolando with a faint smile.

Rolando observed him for a while, and washed his hands. Then he said to them, "Come in."

Emily noticed that Rolando's expression was strange when he looked at Vincent, but she couldn't tell why. However, she could be sure that Rolando didn't have any hostility. It was just that he looked at Vincent's face for a long time, as if he was confirming something.

Rolando went in first. Just as Emily was about to enter, she was stopped by Rolando. "Wait outside."

As he spoke, Vincent stepped in. Just as he turned around, Mr. Rolando had closed the door. Emily could only see that Vincent seemed to give her a determined look through the crack.

Probably doctors all had their own peculiarities and no one was allowed to watch. Emily was nervous, but she couldn't show it. She just pretended to be fine and paced back and forth outside the door.

However, what happened inside the door was different from what she thought.

Spencer, Doctor Miracle, sat on a chair and poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking for a while, he said, "You are so lucky and you are still alive."

Vincent sat opposite him and only show a slight smile when he heard this, "Well, I'm just lucky."

It was not easy to become the patriarch of the Scavo family. He was able to become the patriarch not only because of Mr. Rolando's support, but also because his mother was accidentally killed in the internal disorder of the Scavo family.

Actually, this was an important factor that motivated Vincent to risk his life the patriarch.

At that time, Vincent was only thirteen years old, and his sister was only seven years old. However, his mother did not protect her youngest daughter at the critical moment, but protect him by sacrificing herself. Hence, Vincent witnessed the death of his mother. He remembered that the bullet was clearly flying towards him, but was blocked by his mother.

She shouldn't have protected him. Vincent thought about it that the worst thing his mother had ever done was to save him. But, she indeed protected him.

That period of time when his family was experiencing internal disorder was the darkest time. Everyone used dirty means to frame others, and what they wanted was only the patriarch. Vincent had been studying with his cousins since young. His mother had once taught him not to forget his initial ideal. No matter what he wanted to do, he could just do it. Even if he wanted to abandon everyone in the Scavo family and go out into the world, his mother would also agree with that.

His mother never doted on him. If he made a mistake, she wouldn't scold him. Even if he had a fight with his cousins, his mother would only tell him to stand in the corner as a punishment. After he knew what he had done was wrong, he would not be allowed to explain. He was just sent back to sleep. The next day, his mother would admit that all the mistakes were made by her, instead of Vincent. In front of the entire family, she kindly apologized to everyone. That kind of scene impressed Vincent deeply. From then on, he would never make any mistakes.

He knew why his mother was not close enough to him, but he still envied his sister for resting in his mother's embrace. Mother would always stay in his sister's room to tell her stories and wait for her to fall asleep. Children always yearned for parent's love and care. But after that, he seemed to be mature overnight. He became very respectful to his mother, and much more sensible when dealing with others.

As the boys in the family grew up, the annual exam also came, which was a test for the future patriarch. Even though Vincent's mother didn't teach him a lot, like how to handle the affairs of his family, or how to deal with the family business, Vincent seemed to be born to be a leader. In the past when he was playing with his cousins, occasionally, he heard that those people discussing business in front of him. In the five examinations of "Literature, Commerce, Law, Industry, and Martial Arts," he won first place in each exam.

He knew a secret, so he couldn't bring shame to his mother.

Parents were not allowed to be judges if their children took part in that exam. Thus, the five examinations were quite fair.

It was the fact that he won the first place that brought a calamity to him in the future. He thought that his mother would be very happy. After all, he had inherited his father's will. However, when he returned home, he saw his mother sitting alone in the study holding a photo of his father.

She was talking, but she sat so far away that Vincent could only hear a few words, "...Perhaps this is his fate."

Whose fate?

He didn't know it at that time. But the next year, something happened the day before the inheritance ceremony.

His mother died. She pounced on him and protected him. She said before she died, "Take good care of your sister."

Vincent's hands were covered in blood. His sister's crying and Mr. Rolando's angry voice echoed in his ears. They were so noisy, but he didn't seem to hear them. He grabbed the gun from the bodyguard beside him and rushed out.

He was too weak, and before he could take revenge, he was knocked unconscious by Rolando and thrown into the room.

He didn't become the Patriarch. He had to guard his mother's remains for three years. But the family needed a patriarch. A cousin won the first place in the examination and became the patriarch.

At that time, Vincent was too naive. He thought that there would be no accidents. Until one day, his sister died in his car and her corpse was exploded into pieces. Vincent knelt on the ground and held a piece of burnt clothing. He let out a miserable roar like a beast.

Why?

He was not involved in competing with others for the position of the "patriarch". Why did his mother and sister die? Why?

During that year, it was the most desperate period of time for Vincent, and he was almost mad. After his mother died, he hired a group of expendables. Afterwards, these people helped him kill his cousin, which was only because the cousin might have participated in the assassination of him.

Might?

Vincent curled his lips and sneered. He would rather kill his cousin by mistake than let anyone off.

Most Scavos were dead or crippled because of his slaughter. Of the thirty cousins of the family, only eleven survived.

Vincent was so ruthless that he was even cursed by one of his aunts. However, he turned a blind eye to this and continued to do what he wanted. He was as cold as an envoy that came from hell, and he looked dour and gloomy.

Rolando then helped him become the patriarch. Under his management, he brought his family business back to life, which was nearly bankrupt. At the end of the year, the dividends were twice as much as that of the previous years. People began to admire him. However, a lot of people died for his success. There were still some people who were dissatisfied with him, but they were too weak to make a difference.

At the age of seventeen, he was almost assassinated again. However, this time, the bullet only hit his thigh. He could clearly feel that his blood was instantly frozen and he was about to die.. This was the only thought he had at that time.
