You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 572 Don't Make It Difficult For Us!

"Accident? Are you kidding me?" Before Sebastian and Madeline could speak, Leigh sneered. "She's an adult. There are vehicles everywhere on the road, doesn't she know that? She didn't accidentally bump into Katy; she pushed her! How could you say it's an accident?"

Grayson looked at her and earnestly said, "Dr. Shefford, I was there at the time and can assure you that Miss Ann didn't do it on purpose. She was just agitated and lost herself… And then…"

"Stop!" Leigh made a pause gesture. "I'll ask you one thing. If it was Lucas lying in that ICU now, would you act the same?" She raised an eyebrow and asked in a clear voice, "If it was Lucas who got run over, would you still call this an accident?"

That rendered Grayson speechless. The question struck a chord, and if he answered yes, the brotherhood between him and Lucas would come to an end. But if he answered no, it would be hypocritical of him to ask for mercy from Madeline and Leigh.

He began to put himself in their shoes. If Lucas got injured, he surely would not be able to stay calm. Did it matter if the other party did it intentionally? If the other party shoved his brother under the wheels, they should bear the corresponding responsibility, right?

Who cared if it was intentional?

His brother's suffering was real, and he would be heartbroken for him, so why would he care if the other party did it intentionally or not?

Leigh continued, "Mr. Grayson, I know it's easy to be kind when you haven't been hurt, but I hope there won't be a day when you go through what we suffer now."

Not being able to retort, he instinctively looked at his older brother, who still wore a smirk. However, the amusement in his eyes was much more evident. Without a doubt, Sebastian enjoyed his defeat. H-How did I end up like this?

Although he felt unwilling and worried that Ann would be heavily sentenced, he dared not say more.

Soon, Sebastian saw Madeline and Leigh off, but Grayson pretended to be occupied and secretly found Ann. When she saw him, she immediately rushed into his arms, crying. "Grayson, that woman didn't die, right? I won't be in trouble, right?"

He pushed her away, not knowing what to say. With Leigh's relentless chase after her and Carlisle's intervention, it would be a fantasy to escape from punishment.

There had been a dispute between Ann and Madeline, rendering her a motive. In addition, as an adult, one should consider that shoving someone onto the road is extremely dangerous.

With these two reasons combined and Carlisle's abilities, this case would most likely be charged as intentional harm. Even if he helped Ann hire a good lawyer and tried to get a lighter sentence, the punishment would still start with at least one year of jail time.

Thinking of this, a strong sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart. Seeing him silent, she trembled in fear. "Grayson, say something! Why aren't you saying anything?"

He struggled to find the words and finally piped up, "Miss Ann, don't worry. I will do my best to help you."

Ann cried loudly and hugged him tightly. "Grayson… Grayson… You must help me… I have nothing left; I only have you…"

How did she end up in such a miserable state? She was the cousin of the Hart Family, with so much support, living a glamorous and prosperous life. Suddenly, she was losing everything bit by bit. Now, besides Grayson, she had nothing left.

She could not accept how her life unfolded into a hellhole before her eyes. This shouldn't be my life!

Luxury had been her company ever since she was a child. Had she walked the right path, her life would have gone from being the cousin of the Harts to becoming one of the women of the house, continuing to live in luxury and glory…

"Grayson, Grayson…" She tightly clung to his neck, crying until she felt weak.

Grayson was her only lifeline. Besides him, she could not find another man who would be willing to marry her. I must marry Grayson. I must…

The best way to tie him down was to give him her virginity. Grayson had feelings for her, and he was a responsible man. As long as she gave her untouched body to him, he would marry her!

She knew all too well that she had harmed Madeline and Leigh, who would never let her off the hook. Those two malicious women would take advantage of the situation and try to send her to prison!

Besides Grayson, no one would help her. Still, his power alone was too feeble; he was no match for Sebastian! Instead, she could only risk more and beckon Sebastian and Philip over Grayson's side.

How would she do that? The only way was for her to become Grayson's wife. By gaining that position, she would also become the second daughter-in-law of the Harts.

Whether it was for Grayson or the reputation of the Harts, the family would protect her and prevent her from going to jail. It's just a car accident—yeah, an accident. As long as they don't pursue it, there's no need to go through legal procedures. It can be resolved privately, right?!

All in all, if she wanted to avoid going to jail, she had to become Grayson's wife…

But Sebastian is a fox! He arranged two bodyguards for Grayson, claiming to protect him, but in reality, they were monitoring us and preventing us from being together!

Whenever she met Grayson, those two lunatics would stare at them, making it impossible for her to succeed in turning their relationship into a reality. At that moment, she knew she could not wait any longer. Time is ticking!

If she could not handle Grayson, jail would be her next stop. I'd rather die than go to jail!

She took a deep breath, released her grip on his neck, and tremblingly said, "Grayson, let's talk in private. I have something important to tell you." She turned her head and looked at the door, where Birch and Winter stood firmly at the doorway, not giving a d*mn about her and staring at the two of them.

Grayson let out a helpless sigh and approached his bodyguards. "You two, please leave. I need to have a conversation with Miss Ann," he said.

He intended to convince Ann to apologize to her victims. After careful consideration, he realized this was the only way to salvage the situation for her.

If Ann displayed a more remorseful attitude and made herself appear miserable, it might provide an outlet for the three women to vent their anger. Then, he could step in and mediate, and perhaps his sister-in-law and the others would be willing to give her another chance. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

However, he could not express these thoughts in front of Birch and Winter, afraid they would inform Sebastian.

If Sebastian discovered his attempt to help Ann, he would surely berate him.

"No, Young Master Grayson," Winter replied, a playful smile on his face. "We have been instructed to keep a close watch on you as long as you're with Miss Evans. If we fail to fulfill our mission or make any mistakes, we will face consequences. Please don't make it difficult for us, Young Master Grayson."

The man was rendered speechless.
