You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 49 She’s Crazy

He shot Phoebe an icy look. His eyes were filled with hatred, and his gaze pierced her soul. “Phoebe, your dad was the one who staged this whole thing, and he bribed the driver to hit Dan. He pretended to be the good guy by sacrificing his life to save Dan. Didn’t you know about this at all?” Nigel looked right into Phoebe’s eyes as he questioned her in a slow tone.

Phoebe shuddered before she screamed at him. “What nonsense are you saying? What nonsense is that? My dad didn’t do such a thing! You’re accusing my dad of something he didn’t do! My dad sacrificed his life to save your son, yet you’re not thankful at all. You’re even putting the blame on him! You’re so heartless, Nigel! Are you even human?!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

He sneered. “Look at the way you’re reacting. You must know about this, right? I knew it…” He nodded slowly. “You and Bryan are biologically related. You guys lived under the same roof, so you must have known about his plot. You must have sensed something even if he didn’t tell you! I always thought you were dumb, but I just realized that I’m the dumbest person. I was fooled by an idiotic woman like you for more than ten years!”

“No… No…” She shook her head frantically. “I didn’t know… I don’t know anything! It’s all fake! It’s a lie! You’re framing my father. He saved your son—your family should be indebted to me. You guys can’t be so ungrateful, and you guys can’t just forget about me like that. You can’t—”

“Hah!” Nigel let out a cold laugh as he slowly stood up and pressed his palms against the table. He leaned forward to get closer to Phoebe. “The evidence says it all, Phoebe. You and your father’s scheme has been exposed! You have to pay for what you did! You and your father lied to my son and me, and you guys made us sacrifice so much for you and your daughter in the past 20 years.

Your father hurt Dan’s leg, and he still suffers from its after-effects until today! Just you wait, Phoebe. I’m going to make sure you pay for everything you and your father have done! I’m going to make sure to turn the rest of your life into a living hell!”

Nigel’s eyes were filled with strong hatred as he glared directly at Phoebe. His sharp stare felt like a knife stabbing into Phoebe’s chest. She shivered before shaking her head like a madwoman. “No… No… No…! You can’t do this to me, Nigel! I don’t know anything at all! You must have gotten it wrong. It must have been a mistake.

My dad is an extremely honest and loyal man—he’d never do such a thing. Someone must have framed him. It was Madeline, wasn’t it? That b*stard, Madeline, must be trying to harm him! Doesn’t she have all sorts of connections? She must have gotten those people to create these fake pieces of evidence just to frame my father! You can’t trust her, Nigel. Don’t trust—”

Smack! Nigel sent a slap across her face. His slap was so hard that she could see stars. Blood trickled down the corner of her mouth, and she pressed her hand against her lips as she glared at Nigel in disbelief. “You hit me… How dare you hit me…” All these years, she had been placed on a pedestal in the Taylor Family. She could do whatever she wished to, hence she was always the one slapping others, and not the other way around. In the past, no one would dare to lay a finger on her, but Nigel had just hit her!

“It’s rare for you to be hit by others, huh?” Nigel’s figure towered over her, and he fixed his cold, stern glare on her as he spoke. “This is just the beginning, Phoebe. You’re about to understand what it feels like to live in a living hell! For the rest of your life, I’m going to make you suffer endlessly. You’re going to suffer until you die an undignified death! Years later, you’ll realize that the time you spent in prison was actually the best time of your life! You’ll desperately wish to return behind the metal bars, where you will try your best to stay alive until you take your last breath!”

“No… No… No…” When she thought of her terrifying cell, she shook her head and screamed as tears of fear rolled down her cheeks. “I’m begging you. Don’t do this to me, Nigel. I don’t know anything, and my father is definitely innocent. Please, Nigel. Help me get out! Nigel… For the sake of Isabel! Yes… Yes…” Phoebe was like a drowning person who had just found a final twig she could cling onto. “Think about Isabel, Nigel. Our Isabel! She’s all grown up and has reached the age of getting married. How is she going to find a good family if her mother’s in jail?” she said while gazing at Nigel hopefully.

Her heart felt like it was being sliced when she thought about her daughter. She hunched her body as she began to sob and wail. “Please, Nigel. Please think of our daughter! You love her, Nigel! She can’t have a mom who’s in jail. Please, Nigel. For the sake of Isabel, get me out of here!”

“Hah!” Nigel curled his lips into a sneer. “Isabel? Isabel’s your daughter, not mine. What has she got to do with me? She shares the same blood as you and Nigel. Now that Bryan’s master plan is exposed, do you think Isabel will still get to be a young lady in the Taylor Family?”

Phoebe froze. What does he mean? D-Does he not recognize Isabel as his own daughter? “No! You can’t do that!” She leaped over to Nigel before grabbing his collar and shaking his body. “Are you crazy, Nigel? Isabel’s our daughter! How could you abandon your own child like that?”

Phoebe had lost her parents a long while ago, so Isabel was the only person who was blood-related to Phoebe. Isabel was practically Phoebe’s life. If anyone ever insulted Isabel, no matter how small that insult was, Phoebe would lose her temper and criticize those people. However, Nigel had just said that he no longer wanted Isabel. He didn’t want Isabel to be the young lady of the Taylor Family anymore!

How can this happen? This is about as bad as when I received the news about staying in prison. Phoebe clung to Nigel’s collar as she continued shouting like a crazy woman. Nigel forcefully pushed her to the ground before stepping on her chest. He glared down at her with an icy, ferocious look.

“Does she have the right to be my daughter? I loved Sam and Dan’s mother, and I wanted to just care for my two sons after she left. I didn’t plan on remarrying anyone. Yet, because of Bryan’s lies, I was forced to marry you! If Bryan hadn’t come up with this plan, I wouldn’t have married you, and Isabel wouldn’t have existed! She shouldn’t have existed at all to begin with!

Thinking about her reminds me of you and your disgusting father! I’m already being generous and kind by not releasing my anger on her. Do you think she can still be the young lady of the Taylor Family? Do I look like an idiot to you? Do you think our family members are still going to act like we’re your servants?! I already helped Bryan take care of his daughter for half a lifetime. Do you think I will still continue to care for his granddaughter?”
