You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 548 Fear

Sophie sneered, "Elijah, if you are shameless enough, try going out and saying this to someone else. See if they will curse you to death!"

"No! No! No!" Elijah repeatedly denied, "I didn't say it. I absolutely didn't say it! It was all nonsense Ashley spouted!"

"Does your whole family think I'm a fool?" Sophie forcefully pushed Ashley into Elijah's arms. "Just you wait, Elijah. I will make you lose everything. You will have nothing left!"

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Elijah hurriedly pushed Ashley away and chased after her from behind. "Sophie, you misunderstood me. You know you are my favorite niece. I—"

Sophie suddenly turned around and kicked him hard in the abdomen.

He screamed in pain, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground.

Sophie turned and left.

Seeing Elijah being kicked down by Sophie, Silvia was scared and hurriedly rushed over to help while angrily scolding Sophie from behind. "Sophie, have you gone crazy? How dare you lay your hands on your uncle?! You have no respect for your elders, you—"

"Shut up!" Elijah covered his abdomen and gritted his teeth. "Go back quickly. How embarrassing."

They were already outside their house at this moment after he chased after Sophie.

There weren't many people in the morning, but there were still some early risers around who curiously looked over when they saw the commotion.

Silvia's loud voice attracted more people.

He had never been so embarrassed before. Standing from the ground, he held his stomach and limped back to the courtyard.

Ashley stood in the courtyard, panic-stricken, and when she saw him return, she couldn't help but take a few steps back. "Dad..."

Elijah only spared her a gloomy glance as he walked past her toward the living room.

"Mom!" Ashley threw herself into Silvia's arms.

Seeing her disheveled appearance, Silvia felt both distressed and angry, and she began to reproach her daughter. "Why did you blurt out everything? Is this something you can talk to outsiders about? Just look at the mess you've caused. If Sophie finds out, who knows what crazy things that lunatic will do?"

Since Sophie kicked their whole family out of Foreman Group, she had been calling Sophie a lunatic. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

She thought Sophie was a lunatic.

When Sophie's father was alive, the person he loved the most, other than Sophie, was Elijah.

It only made sense for Elijah and his son to inherit Foreman Group after Sophie's parents passed away.

Even if they didn't get the inheritance rights, they should still have important positions in Foreman Group.

However, Sophie dared to kick their whole family out of Foreman Group!

She was a heartless person who didn't care about any relationships or favors.

Now that Sophie had found out that the whole story about Ashley's relationship with Edmund was fake, that it was all a scheme by their family, who knew what crazy things that lunatic will do?

"I'm sorry, Mom..." Ashley cried, "I was drunk... I didn't know that gigolo would record me, let alone give the recording to Sophie... I didn't know. I didn't know anything..."

"You..." Silvia shook her head and pulled Ashley into the living room.

Seeing Ashley enter the room, Elijah grabbed the teacup in front of him and flung it hard at Ashley. "Get out! Get out! I don't have a daughter like you anymore!"

As the teacup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces, Ashley trembled in fear and cried, "I'm sorry, Dad. I know I was wrong. I didn't mean it. I got drunk, and I don't even know what I said... A-And that gigolo must have intentionally tricked me into talking. I—"

"Get out!" Elijah interrupted her by angrily shouting. "Didn't I tell you long ago that you must take that incident with Edmund to your grave? That you must not reveal a single word to anyone? Do you take

my words as nonsense?"

"I'm sorry... I didn't know it would turn out like this..." She sobbed. "I didn't mean to! A-And you were the one who forced me to sleep with Edmund back then. I didn't want to! You were the one who forced me!"

"Get the hell out of my face!" Elijah grabbed another cup and threw it at her. "I don't have an idiot for a daughter. I don't want to see you anymore. Get out!"

"Elijah, calm down." Silvia walked over and sat beside him as she patted his back to calm him down. "Ashley definitely didn't mean it. Now that it has happened, blaming her won't help. Let's think of a way to resolve this."

"Resolve it? It can't be resolved!" Elijah sighed dejectedly. "Don't you understand Sophie by now? She's a madwoman! She's reckless, self-centered, arrogant, and doesn't care about anyone! She said she wants to make our whole family lose everything, to have nothing left. She will definitely do it!"

He rubbed his face hard as fear filled his eyes. "Our family... is finished!"

Hearing his words, Silvia, who was initially angrier, now also became alarmed. "Is it really that serious? But... But Sophie is your niece! When her parents were alive, they valued you the most, and she always respected her elders. Will she really do something excessive to an elder like you?"

"Elder?" Elijah sneered. "Sophie is willful and heartless. What does seniority matter to her? She and Edmund grew up together since childhood. Even though they're childhood sweethearts who were deeply in love with each other, she tortured him to the brink of death the moment she suspected him. She is even crueler than a normal person would be to their enemies!"

He shook his head. "Sophie is heartless. What's the point of talking about seniority with a heartless woman?"

He grabbed a handful of hair as regret washed over him.

He didn't understand Sophie well enough.

If he had known that Sophie was a heartless lunatic, he wouldn't have schemed against Edmund back then.

He risked his own daughter's innocence to frame Edmund because he was afraid that if he used someone else, they would end up betraying him.

He knew that by using his daughter, his daughter would definitely keep her mouth shut and not betray him.

He never expected that that lunatic Sophie would redirect her anger at Ashley toward him and remove him from Foreman Group!

So what if he succeeded in bringing down Edmund?

He brought down Edmund because Edmund was blocking his and his son's path, so he wanted to get rid of Edmund and let his son replace him.

But he paid the price with his daughter's innocence. In the end, not only did he not gain any benefits, but his whole family was kicked out of Foreman Group.

Not only did he not get what he wanted, he ended up losing what he initially had.

The gains did not outweigh the losses.

He thought being kicked out of Foreman Group was bad enough, but now, his foolish daughter actually spoke the truth with her own mouth, letting Sophie know that the whole incident was his ploy.

So, the situation wasn't over yet. Sophie made it clear that she wanted to make him lose everything. She wanted to leave him with nothing.

He believed that Sophie could do it.

She had the ability and was ruthless enough to do so.

Perhaps, in a short time, he would be a bankrupt and heavily indebted loser.
