You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 375

Eddie was taken aback as well. The older one got, the wiser one was; he was experienced and knowledgeable enough to tell how exceptional Madeline was. He could not help but to exclaim in silence.

Initially, he presumed that Madeline married Sebastian because of her kids and face. He never expected her to be this captivating. Based on that one move of hers, he could tell that she was someone who had learned for many years to have such a solid foundation.

A seemingly frail woman was actually a martial arts expert? Even an elderly like him was mesmerized by the contrast, let alone youngsters like Sebastian. Eddie averted his gaze from Madeline and Leigh onto Ava; their difference was plain to see.

Just how did Bryson and Penny raise her? There's nothing she's good at; she's unbecoming and cruel. Thank God she's not one of us. If she is my granddaughter, the family could've been led to a downfall.

The more Eddie thought about it, the more vexed he became. He informed Drew, "Hurry and call someone to bring her out. I don't wanna see her again."

Seeing such an irritating kid would remind Eddie of how bad their upbringing was. His chest stifled every single time he saw Ava. Thus, he never wished to see her again!

Drew responded before leaving to call for someone.

Ava, who almost fell into a swoon due to the pain, endured the discomfort while crawling toward Eddie's feet. Crying, she grabbed onto the hem of his pants. "Grandpa, please. Please don't drive me away! I'm your granddaughter—"

"You're not my granddaughter. I don't have an evil-hearted granddaughter like you!" retorted Eddie coldly. "I've been wondering since the day you strangled Luna's cat to death with your bare hands. The Penhams are born kind and gentle. There are some clumsy ones, but they're not as evil as you are. I thought for a long time about whether our genes had changed when it comes to your generation. That's why we've got someone malicious like you in the family, but now I know. It's not about mutation. It's because you're not one of us! Since you're an outsider, we won't take care of you from now on. Return to wherever you came from. From today onward, you have nothing to do with us, the Penham Family."

"No, no, no…" She shook her head vigorously. "Grandpa, I'm Dad and Mom's daughter, and I'm your granddaughter! I grew up in the Penham Family. You guys are my only family. What am I gonna do if you don't want me anymore?"

He pondered. "How about this? I'll ask someone to bring you to your biological parents and have your biological father tell you what you're gonna do in future."

She was stunned. "My biological father?"

"Yes," he replied. "He's Walter Hudson, a bodyguard that serves Penny before she got married. He's quite a sneaky one for being able to fool her around. He consigned his own daughter to her before staging his death. He's been living a decent life after that, but too bad, secrets don't last forever. Vengeance is slow but sure. He thought he committed a perfect crime, but everything he did that year is revealed. The police have arrested him and he'll be sentenced to atone for his sins in future to pay the price for his deeds. So, it's useless to wish for him to take care of you. Still, you can ask if he's left some savings for you in case of any emergencies at the detention center."

"No, no, no…" She shook her head as her complexion turned pale due to the surprise.

He's not only a bodyguard, but also a soon-to-be-sentenced criminal? No. This is not real. If it is true, how am I going to face everyone once words get out?

Torn by the shocking news, Ava hugged Eddie's calf and wailed, "Grandpa, I know no one. I only know you, Dad, Mom, Austin and Justin! I grew up in this family. You guys are my family! Grandpa, please. Please don't abandon me! I am one of the Penham Family. If you send me away, I don't have a home anymore!"

He stared at her frostily without a word. Had it not been for the cat's incident, he would have pitied Ava for her tragedy since the adults were at fault and she was innocent. Even if the Penham Family cut ties with her, they would give her a house and ask a maid to look after her. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

However, after knowing that Ava strangled her granddaughter's cat, the remnant pity for her dispelled.

He was sure she did not have the guts to murder someone. Otherwise, the one she strangled could have been her granddaughter instead of the cat!

It was fortunate that such an evil person was not one of the Penhams. Of course, they had to cut ties with her so that she had nothing to do with them in future.

Even so, Avo would not be driven to despoir.

Eddie knew his fomily very well. Although he could show no mercy to Avo by disregording her life ond deoth os well os cutting ties with her, Bryson ond her brothers would not be oble to do so.

They would more or less give her some money for sure, so thot she would not rot owoy like o rot on the streets.

However, giving her reol estotes like houses wos out of the question due to their fomily rules. Since it required Eddie's permission to do so, Bryson's fomily would never give her such voluoble ossets furtively without Eddie's permission.

Probobly, Avo would be oble to get owoy with some cosh, her own fineries, ond whotnots. Although it wos not much, it wos enough for her to live through the doys os long os she behoved.

As on ofterthought, Eddie colled, "Drew."

"Coming." Drew led two bodyguords into the room ond pointed ot Avo, who wos kneeling on the ground. "Toke her out ond never let her poss through the gotes ever ogoin."

"Yes, Sir," they responded before opprooching her. Grobbing her orms eoch, they held her up ond pushed her to the door.

She tried to breok free. "Grondpo, pleose! Pleose don't do this to me. You con't do this to me! I'm your gronddoughter! I grew up in this fomily ond this is my home. Grondpo, no. Pleose don't drive me owoy. I beg you…"

As his heod hurt from the commotion, Eddie frowned ond commonded, "Toke her to Wolter Hudson ot the detention center. She should see her fother."

"Understood!" replied the bodyguords loudly before they drogged the struggling girl outside.

When they reoched the living room, they bumped into Bryson, Austin ond Justin, who just returned home.

The trio mode o dosh home to see Eddie upon settling Penny's motters. It wos Leigh's first treotment on Eddie, so they should stoy by his side os his fomily.

As soon os Avo noticed the three of them, she broke free from the bodyguords' grosp ond teetered to them os though they were her soviors. "Dod! Austin! Justin! Sove me!"

Even so, Ava would not be driven to despair.

Eddie knew his family very well. Although he could show no mercy to Ava by disregarding her life and death as well as cutting ties with her, Bryson and her brothers would not be able to do so.

They would more or less give her some money for sure, so that she would not rot away like a rat on the streets.

However, giving her real estates like houses was out of the question due to their family rules. Since it required Eddie's permission to do so, Bryson's family would never give her such valuable assets furtively without Eddie's permission.

Probably, Ava would be able to get away with some cash, her own fineries, and whatnots. Although it was not much, it was enough for her to live through the days as long as she behaved.

As an afterthought, Eddie called, "Drew."

"Coming." Drew led two bodyguards into the room and pointed at Ava, who was kneeling on the ground. "Take her out and never let her pass through the gates ever again."

"Yes, Sir," they responded before approaching her. Grabbing her arms each, they held her up and pushed her to the door.

She tried to break free. "Grandpa, please! Please don't do this to me. You can't do this to me! I'm your granddaughter! I grew up in this family and this is my home. Grandpa, no. Please don't drive me away. I beg you…"

As his head hurt from the commotion, Eddie frowned and commanded, "Take her to Walter Hudson at the detention center. She should see her father."

"Understood!" replied the bodyguards loudly before they dragged the struggling girl outside.

When they reached the living room, they bumped into Bryson, Austin and Justin, who just returned home.

The trio made a dash home to see Eddie upon settling Penny's matters. It was Leigh's first treatment on Eddie, so they should stay by his side as his family.

As soon as Ava noticed the three of them, she broke free from the bodyguards' grasp and teetered to them as though they were her saviors. "Dad! Austin! Justin! Save me!"
