You, Me and Our Genius Twins -
Chapter 300
Chapter 300
Upon hearing that, Philip said coldly, "If your sister knew you and Ann joined hands to drug her son,she would not have asked me to take care of you."
A sister and a niece are not as close as a son. Sebastian is the treasure that my wife and I had beenwaiting for. We love him more than our lives. When my wife was still alive, she loved her sons the most.She dotes on them. In her eyes, she even loves them more than me. Her sons are the most importantto her. Now, Emma and Ann want to compete with Sebastian? What a joke. I will punish Sebastianeven harder if he violates the law. I will break his legs! I am already gentle to Emma and Ann.
Emma looked at Philip with a sad gaze, her heart feeling such pain that she thought she was in the pitsof hell.
She always thought she was the exception to Philip. Just as she loved and respected him, he felt thesame way about her.
Philip's care and accommodation to her gave her such a feeling.
Until now, she finally understood that it was nothing but an illusion.
It turned out that Emma was not that important in Philip's eyes.
She had wasted her efforts for so many years. Emma thought Philip knew everything, but it was justher being stupid.
Presently, she was in utter despair.
She regarded the so-called connection with Philip as the consolation she could not ask for.
Sometimes, she was secretly proud of herself.
It was useless that my sister married Philip. It was useless for her to give birth to a child. Ultimately, I'mthe one who is by Philip's side. I have been with Philip for the longest time!
In the end, Emma realized everything was her mere imagination.
In fact, there was nothing going on between her and Philip.
Philip cared for her not because he loved, appreciated, and regarded Emma as a confidant. He wasearnestly carrying out his wife's entrustment to take good care of Emma.
In other words, all the care and treatment Emma received from Philip was because of her sister, notfrom her own charm.
Her former pride and complacency had become a joke.
Having figured this out, Emma covered her face and smiled sadly.
She kept laughing, but her tears streamed down her fingers.
Philip frowned and looked at her weirdly, thinking her reaction was weird.
However, he didn't fall for it.
No one will get away from hurting my son and violating the law! One must be dealt with according torules!
Seeing Emma's intercession didn't work, Ann trembled in fright.
She then knelt at Philip's feet and cried desperately. "Mr. Philip, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I swear I willnot do that anymore. Please don't let the police arrest me. I can't handle it…"
Although buying an illegal drug was not a serious crime and would only give her a fine and detention, itwould leave Ann with a criminal record.
If she was unlucky and met an acquaintance, she would lose all respect after the news spread.
I can't get married. No aristocratic family would accept a woman with a criminal record as the mistressof the house. My life is over!
Ann was crying and trembling all over. However, Philip was unmoved, and it was as if he had a heart ofstone.
Grayson couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help begging for her, "Dad, Miss Ann is trulyremorseful. No matter what, we're a family, so why don't—"
"What do you mean?" Philip's face sank. He looked at Grayson coldly, interrupting his words.
Grayson felt a tingle at the back of his head and his palms were sweating. However, he still acceptedthe pressure and mustered up the courage to say, "Why don't we forgive Miss Ann? She is a young girl,
so she needs the most respect from others. If she's arrested, she can't handle the pressure—"
"She needs respect, you say?" Philip sneered. "If she needs respect, she wouldn't have drugged yourbrother! Remember what I taught you when you were young? Before you do anything, consider if youcan handle the consequences. If she can't handle the consequence of being arrested, do you thinkSebastian can handle the drug she gave?"
At that, Philip looked at Grayson from head to toe. "Grayson, I raised you because I needed you toassist Sebastian. Over the years, I spent a lot of effort on you. I don't think I have mistreated you.However, my adoptive son, who I worked so hard to raise, is helping my niece instead of my son. Iapplaud your courage, Grayson!"
This time, beads of sweat appeared on Grayson's forehead besides his palm.
Philip was obviously dissatisfied with Grayson, so the latter didn't dare to sit still any longer. Standingup, he said, "Dad, please calm down. I didn't mean that. Since the incident has already happened, it'smeaningless to hold someone accountable. No matter what, Miss Ann is our family—"
However, Philip interrupted him sharply, "I said we are cutting ties with her. We have nothing to do witheach other from now on. Didn't you hear that? Or do you want to leave the Hart Family too? Do youwant to be a family with her after leaving us?"
Those words were heartbreaking.
Grayson couldn't bear it anymore and he immediately knelt down. "Dad, that's not what I meant—"
"Stand up! The Hart Family doesn't have this custom!" Philip waved his hand impatiently. "Tell me
directly what you meant. I don't have the time to solve your riddles!"
When Philip was young, he had a violent temper. Then, his character became softer after he married,had a son, and gradually got older.
However, Ann struck a nerve when she drugged Sebastian. Hence, Philip's violent temper from hisyounger self was aroused. Now, he hated everyone, and his words were full of anger.
Philip had not been so angry since a long time ago. Moreover, he was joyful all day long after havinggrandsons and looked like a kind older man. As such, Grayson almost forgot Philip was a fire-breathingdragon when he was young.
Grayson hadn't endured Philip's anger for a long time, so he couldn't bear it. He hurriedly stood up andfelt his legs trembling.
In the past, Grayson's adoptive mother was the one who held the authority.
After her death, Philip was the only authority and the God of the Hart Family.
Grayson would never challenge Philip's authority, even if he had the courage. However, he loved Anntoo much and couldn't stand looking at Ann's pitiful and despairing expression.
Love was such an irrational feeling.
Grayson knew that as an adopted son, he owed Philip too much and he had no right to go againstPhilip's decision. However, Grayson couldn't control himself. It was as if an invisible thread was pullinghim and making him stand up for Ann involuntarily.
