Chelsea thought, ‘Matthew is just a child and doesn‘t know that he can kill someone by beating them. That‘s why he didn‘t control his strength. Isn‘t that normal for a kid?‘
In short, Chelsea felt that as long as Sonny was still alive, her son did nothing wrong, even if the footage showed that Lucas went to hit Sonny first.
Lucas cried and said that Sonny hit him only because Sonny fought back.
Of course, Chelsea was protective of her own children. She would twist the facts to make it seem like her children did nothing wrong. What did it have to do with her if someone else’s
child lived or died? That was Chelsea‘s mentality.
The police officers reprimanded Matthew and ordered Chelsea and George to bring Matthew to apologize. If Liberty asked for compensation, they would also have to compensate her.
When Chelsea was at the police station, she was rendered speechless but was unreconciled.
After leaving the police station, Chelsea scolded her husband for being useless. He should have deleted the surveillance footage at home so there was no evidence. When the police saw the footage, they turned out to be the ones at fault even though they suffered a big loss.
Their house was trashed, but the police officers did not care.
“Sonny never provoked Lucas. Lucas was the one who liked to provoke Sonny. Whenever Lucas was at your brother‘s house, Lucas would steal Sonny‘s toys and food.”
Chelsea pouted and said, “Lucas is the youngest in my family, so it‘s inevitable that he‘s a little spoiled and domineering.
“Dad, what does this have to do with me asking Serenity for compensation? Her in–laws trashed my house. I made a rough estimate of the damages, which cost around tens of thousands of dollars.”
Mr. Brown said coldly, “They did a good job! If I were there, I wouldn‘t just trash your house. I‘ll also beat Matthew up! Your mother and I have taken such good care of him since he was born, but he wanted to kill my grandson!”
Mr. Brown added, “So what if they trashed your house? I want to thank Serenity for venting anger on my behalf as well. Chelsea, if you dare ask Serenity for compensation, your mother and I will cut all ties with you. Also, I‘ve kept a tab of all the expenses your mother and I have spent on your family, so you have to pay me back!
“Since your younger brother had a job, he gave us monthly living expenses that we spent on your household. But look what he got in return! His son was sent to the hospital because of your son!
“Don‘t accuse Serenity for making a fuss. I‘ve asked around myself. Sonny was sent to the emergency room and was treated for a long time. The doctors were cursing the abuser for being ruthless, and I saw how badly Sonny was injured!
“We just came out of the hospital. We‘re going back to your house to pack our things. Your mom and I will stay in our own home from now on and will no longer babysit your children. Ask your in–laws to babysit them. If not, you can take care of them yourself since they‘re your responsibility, not ours.
“We gave birth to you, so it‘s our obligation to raise you and educate you, but we‘re not obligated to raise our grandchildren.”
Chelsea said, “Dad, did you get brainwashed by Serenity? Why are you standing on her side?
“You‘re moving back with mom? You two will be all alone, so I‘ll be worried. George already beat up Matthew. Dad, you raised him, so why don‘t you feel sorry for him?”
Mr. Brown said coldly, “He deserves to be beaten! He was beaten by his father, so as his grandfather, I can‘t intervene. Matthew is my grandson, but Sonny is my only paternal grandson. How can he compare with Sonny?
“Matthew is a Repton, and Sonny is a Brown. Sonny takes after my last name! 1 don‘t care about the past, but this time, I can‘t let it go when I see Sonny being beaten like this.”
Mr. Brown would not hit Matthew since he raised the boy, but he did not want to go on like this anymore.
Even if his son and daughter–in–law wanted a divorce, it was their personal affairs. It would not affect his position as Sonny‘s grandfather.
How could he remain indifferent when he saw his grandson being beaten up until he had to be admitted to the hospital?
Chelsea said, “Dad, I won‘t ask Serenity for compensation anymore, okay? You and mom shouldn‘t move out. What will I do without you two? I still have to go to work.”
Mr. Brown did not speak and hung up the phone.
He was exasperated.
“Dad, are you and mom really moving back to your own place?”
“Do you still want me and your mom to take care of your nephew who beat up your son? No matter how nice we are to them, they‘re Reptons. Chelsea‘s in–laws don‘t need to worry about
anything and live in comfort while your mom and I raise their grandchildren.
“I didn‘t even raise my paternal grandson because of them. Should I praise Matthew for bullying and hitting Sonny?”
Hank was speechless.
“Don‘t think that I‘m siding with Liberty and Serenity. I‘m not. I‘m just standing on Sonny‘s side. Sonny is only two years and five months old. He‘ll fall if he walks a little faster. Even a slap is unbearable to a kid like that, let alone what Matthew did. Although Matthew is only ten years old, he‘s tall and strong like a fifteen–year–old.
“Matthew slapped Sonny in the face repeatedly, so how can Sonny bear it? We should be glad that Serenity brought her in–laws to stop Matthew‘s atrocities. Otherwise… Sonny might be beaten to death, and the Reptons might just deny the allegations and say that Sonny fell to his death.” Hank did not dare speak anymore.
Serenity and Liberty were unaware of the rare occasion that Mr. Brown sided with Sonny.
Sonny’s swollen face subsided slightly after applying the ice pack.
He kept crying and wanting to go home.
Serenity asked the doctor if they could leave, and the doctor said he could be discharged from the hospital. However, they had to be careful because Sonny might get a fever at night.
In the evening, Zachary and his brothers sent Liberty and Sonny home.
Serenity was still worried about Sonny, so she brought Zachary to the balcony and said, “Can I stay over with my sister and nephew tonight?”
Zachary was reluctant to part with Serenity as he started to have feelings for her and wanted to cling to her 24/7 if he could.
However, Serenity was Sonny’s aunt, so he understood that she would want to stay back with Sonny at this time.
“Zachary?”
