Chapter 215
In the study. Theo was sitting in a chair with a serious expression, his hand still on his cane. Rachel and Trevon were sitting side by side at the desk.
No one broke the awkward silence. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a needle dropping to the ground.
Time passed bit by bit. Theo was waiting for Trevon to explain himself. However, after a few minutes, Trevon was still sitting there calmly and had no intention of saying anything.
Theo was impressed by Trevon’s composure.
Helpless, he compromised and asked in a deep voice, “Tell me, what exactly happened to your arm? Did you do it yourself?”
Hearing Theo’s words, Trevon was neither surprised nor panicked. He took a cup from the table with his uninjured hand and fiddled with it. He said unhurriedly, “Yes. And no,”
Rachel was not as calm as Trevon. When she heard his answer, she was quite shocked as if something was stuck in her throat.. She had always been calm, but now she looked at Trevon with disbelief in her eyes. “You injured yourself?”
Seeing Trevon’s expression and attitude, Theo was sure about his guess and cursed Trevon as a little brat in his heart. He said to Rachel. “Don’t be puzzled. He did it himself.”
Rachel was lost for words for a moment.
Theo continued to ask. “What about Max’s injury? Who did it!”
Afraid that Trevon would lie, he added, “Don’t try to brush me off with your previous explanation. Do you think Carlos and his family will believe what you said just now? They left only because they don’t have any evidence now.”
Trevon was naturally clear about it, and he was confident that Carlos couldn’t find any evidence. “They can come to me again if they find evidence. Anyway, I didn’t drug MaxTM
Theo’s face instantly darkened. He said sternly, “So, Max was telling the truth. When he was drugged, you were in his room and watched it.”
Trevon felt disgusted and continued to play with the cup. “I was forced to. Max isn’t quite powerful in bed, and I think he has suffered from kidney deficiency. Even if nothing happened to him last night, he might not be able to have a child in the future.”
Theo stroked his temples resignedly Were they talking about whether Max would have a child?
Rachel glanced at Theo’s expression and knew that he was on the verge of losing his temper. Under the table, she tugged at the corner of Trevon’s shirt, signaling him to mind his words. She also snatched the cup from his hand and put it back on the table. ‘Hurry up and tell us what happened. Look at how angry your grandfather is.”
Trevon no longer wanted to enrage Theo, afraid that Theo would have to go to the hospital. Thus, he told the truth, “It was the people from the Turner family who took revenge on Max. I was just an audience for Max’s excellent performance. I injured myself, and it has nothing to do with the Turner family.”
Theo rubbed the space between his eyebrows and sighed. “The Turner family asked you to do it yourself, and they had shown some mercy. You should be content. How did Max offend Natalie?”
“Two years ago, Natalie was drugged, and Max tried to rape her. Before that, Max went to the hospital to harass Natalie and didn’t respect her. I think that’s the reason.”
Theo slammed the table suddenly, causing Rachel to tremble. He said angrily. “Was he crazy? He even dared to have ill intentions for his sister-in-law. Even if the Turner family didn’t punish him, I would deal with him. Why didn’t you tell me anything back then?”
Being questioned, Trevon lowered his eyes guiltily and reply softly. “There was no need to mention it.” Moreover, he had gotten Natalie out of trouble in time.
Theo snorted. “You’re taking advantage of Natalie. The Turner family has been merciful enough to you. If it weren’t for Jasper, I would have slapped you and taught you a lesson.”
He gave a few more instructions. “Keep an eye on Jasper, Peggy is stubborn. I’m afraid that she will take things too hard and attack Jasper. If anything happens to Jasper and Natalie, I won’t let you off.”
“Got it.”
Trevon walked out of the study and went downstairs. Jim, who was waiting at the staircase, followed him.
Sitting in the car, Jim reported. “Mr. Trevon, everything has been settled. Mr. Roberts has removed the surveillance footage, and Mr. Carlos won’t find any evidence.”
“Um,” Trevon responded briefly. He had to admit that Joseph’s method of killing two birds with one stone was truly ruthless
Jim was confused about one thing. “Mr. Trevon, did you install the surveillance camera in Mr. Max’s room? But I heard that surveillance cameras are absolutely forbidden in Grand Manor.”
Speaking of which, Trevon was somewhat grateful to Joseph berause Joseph left him evidence to clear his name. It seemed that Joseph’s computer skills were not bad. At least, Jim did not find anyone else entering Max’s room after checking the surveillance footage for an entire night.
It could be said that Joseph came and went as he pleased without leaving a trace.
Trevon did not want to explain it to Jim. “Focus on driving. Don’t talk so much nonsense.”
Jim did not get an answer and became more puzzled. Early in the morning, he went to Phoenix Manor and sent a splint to Trevon Then, he was asked to Grand Manor to get the surveillance records. Unexpectedly, Jim felt extremely nauseous and almost vomited on the spot when watching the video. Because the surveillance camera was facing the bed, so Max’s and the female celebrity’s every move was captured and recorded clearly. Fortunately, both of them were not that skillful at making love, or else Jim would have had a nosebleed.
The video was high-definition and even more exciting than the blue movies.
Moreover, Jim could watch the complete work in one go without paying a single cent.
After watching the video, Jun felt that he had gone through severe trauma. He wondered, “Max’s skills are really poor. I don’t understand why he is still so passionate about physical relationships”
Trevon didn’t intend to reveal what Joseph had done to Max. On the one hand, it was because the Turner family was Natalie” family. On the other hand, the Turner family wasn’t in Athana, and Carlos and the others were no match for it at all. If they wanted to vent their anger, they might cause trouble for Natalie, who was alone and weaker.
Hackett took a photo of Sherri and Ruby, and behind them was the sign of the Athana Amusement Park. In the photo, the scene looked cozy as Sherri and Ruby were smiling brightly.
Hackett took nine photos and posted them on WhatsApp with a few lines of words. “I will always be with you, just like a sunflower always seeking the sunlight. I need you, just like a sunflower needing photosynthesis.”
After typing. Hackett read the content of his post again and nodded in satisfaction. He walked to Sherri with a blissful expression and said. “Have you forgiven me? I stayed up late last night and transferred money to you 1828 times on Venmo. My hands are still trembling. Check and see if I have Parkinson’s.”
Sherri was actually in a good mood. She tried to look indifferent and held back her laughter. “Alright, since you’re so sincere. I’ll forgive you. Go have fim with Ruby.”
Being forgiven, Hackett smiled more brightly. “Ruby, come over here. Let’s go take the carousel together. How about it?”
Ruby said yes, but she still refused to call Hackett “Dad”.
Ava and Natalie walked toward Sherri, not hiding their jealousy at all. Natalie shook her head and pretended to complain in an envious tone. “Talmost can’t stand you guys. Mr. Blackwell has spent a lot of effort to coax you. Other than Venmo, he came to the amusement park together with you. How busy he is.”
Sherri was delighted. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and said proudly. If he dares to play any tricks again. Ill break up with him without hesitation.”
