You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 569 That's How Powerful It Is!

"She..." Grayson appeared somewhat embarrassed as he began. "She was feeling frightened. So, I requested Asher's company to escort her to the nurse's office for some rest."

"Emory." Madeline turned around, calling out for Emory.

Emory quickly walked over and saluted. "Mrs. Hart."

"Look after Ann on my behalf," Madeline instructed. "Keep an eye on her and ensure she doesn't run off due to fear."

Grayson remained silent.

"Alright, Mrs. Hart." Emory nodded and turned to leave.

As he passed by Leonard, he whispered, "I'll watch over Ann. You take care of the Young Master and Mrs. Hart."

Last week, Leonard recuperated from his injuries and officially rejoined the team.

Initially, their Young Master promised Leonard a month off, an all-expenses-paid vacation as a reward.

But Leonard only went out for a while and came back within a week, saying that going out alone was boring and that he preferred to work.

So, Leonard returned to the side of Madeline and the Young Master. The four brothers could "fight side by side" again.

Emory hurriedly left, making Grayson even more embarrassed.

He choked for a while before saying, "Madeline, don't worry, Ann won't escape out of fear..."

"What exactly happened?" Madeline didn't argue with him and changed the topic.

"It's my fault..." Grayson said remorsefully. "I accompanied Ann to go shopping, and when we came out of the mall, I saw a man harassing Caitlin. I knew Caitlin is your friend, so I went over to help. The man who was harassing Caitlin wanted to hit me, but Caitlin stopped him. His fist landed on her instead, and she almost fell. I helped her up, and she happened to fall into my arms…"

At this point, he couldn't continue.

Madeline frowned. "Did Ann see Caitlin falling into your arms and then push her away, leading to Caitlin being hit by a car?"

Grayson nodded with difficulty. "Yes, that's what happened..."

After a pause, he remembered something and hastened to clarify, "Madeline, please believe me. Ann didn't mean it. Her actions were impulsive, and she didn't foresee the car..."

"The process doesn't matter," Madeline said. "I only care about the result! If Caitlin is alive, Ann is guilty of intentionally causing harm. If Caitlin dies, Ann is guilty of intentional murder. There's not much I can do, but I can guarantee that whether Caitlin lives or dies, Ann will face suitable consequences and won't evade punishment due to anyone or anything."

Grayson's embarrassment grew.

Madeline didn't name names, but he knew that the "anyone" she referred to was him.

This was said for him to hear.

Madeline wouldn't let Ann off the hook for anyone or anything.

He regretfully punched the wall.

Had he known, he wouldn't have meddled.

If he hadn't intervened, Caitlin wouldn't have landed in his arms, prompting Ann's furious push.

Caitlin wouldn't have been struck by a car, and Ann wouldn't be confronting imprisonment.

It was entirely his fault.

Keeping to oneself was his motto. Why did he ignore it and meddle today?

Sebastian, who was standing quietly beside Madeline, saw his expression and couldn't help but chuckle lightly. He asked casually, "Grayson, what are you thinking?"

Grayson was startled and stood up straight. "Mr. Hart, I'm not thinking about anything."

"Is that so?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you sure you can hide it from me?"

The four brothers had grown up together since childhood and knew each other best.

Sebastian could tell what Grayson was thinking with just one glance.

"Do you regret meddling?" Sebastian put his arm around Madeline's waist and casually put his other hand in his pocket.

Grayson replied, "N-No, I don't."

"Grayson," Sebastian emphasized, "you're not a child anymore. If you possess the courage to think, you should also possess the courage to admit it. Do you regret intervening?"

"Mr. Hart, you've misunderstood me." Grayson's scalp tingled. "Caitlin is Madeline's friend. When I saw Madeline's friend in trouble, I had to help! I do harbor some regrets, but not because I assisted Madeline's friend, but because of my presence. Madeline's friend met with an accident due to me, and her life hangs in the balance..."

As he spoke, he convinced himself and became somewhat righteous. "If I hadn't gone to help Madeline's friend, maybe she would be safe now. It's all because I recklessly appeared that Madeline's friend is lying in the operating room. That's why I feel regret..."

"Are you sure that's what you think?" Sebastian asked calmly. "Aren't you regretting helping Caitlin because no matter whether Caitlin lives or dies, Ann won't be able to escape imprisonment?"

Grayson lapsed into silence.

He seemed to think that way.

But even if he had a hundred times more courage, he wouldn't dare to tell the truth, okay?

Besides, Caitlin's life was uncertain, and he was genuinely worried about her.

He was worried that Ann would go to jail, and he was genuinely worried that Caitlin might not survive or might be seriously injured.

He didn't want any agitation. He firmly stated, "Mr. Hart, I'm genuinely worried about Madeline's friend. I feel guilty and blame myself for appearing and causing Madeline's friend to have an accident..."

As he spoke, he convinced himself and became somewhat righteous. "If I hadn't gone to help Madeline's friend, maybe she wouldn't have been hit by a car..."

He was so cowardly that he couldn't admit what he truly thought. Sebastian couldn't be bothered to expose him and simply said, "Whether Caitlin lives or dies, Ann is going to jail. Be prepared, and don't struggle in vain."

Grayson was rendered speechless.

All he could do now was pray for Caitlin's safety. It would be best if her injuries were superficially severe and she could recover after surgery without any lasting effects.

"What about the man who harassed Caitlin?" Madeline asked. "Is it Lucian Wheeler? Where is he?"

"It's Lucian," Grayson replied. "After Caitlin was hit, he became very agitated and wanted to beat Ann like crazy. The police arrived and stopped him, but he even attacked the police. He was taken to the detention center by the police."

Madeline was at a loss for words.

She wanted to say something else, but the door of the operating room opened, and Leigh Shefford came out.

Madeline hurried forward. "How is she? Is Caitlin all right?"

"She's stable," Leigh informed. "Her spleen ruptured, and she sustained a few fractured ribs, but the surgery succeeded, and she's out of critical condition."

"That's great!" Madeline finally let go of the worry she had been holding onto.

Grayson also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

As long as Caitlin wasn't in critical condition, Ann's guilt would be much lighter.

Ann pushed Caitlin, causing Caitlin to be hit by a car. Strictly speaking, it was an accident.

As long as Caitlin was willing to forgive Ann and settle it privately without going to court, Ann wouldn't have to bear any legal responsibility.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Leigh took off her mask and raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you thinking about how to help Ann avoid punishment? Stop dreaming, okay? Do you know the name of our law firm? Mansion! Even if someone unrelated harms others, they won't be able to escape from us. Moreover, Caitlin is our friend. Let me tell you, Ann is doomed this time!" RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
