Chapter 460
Mr. Brown stated, “So what if they damaged your house? I want to thank Serenity for expressing her anger on my behalf as well. Chelsea, if you dare to ask Serenity for compensation, your mother and I will sever all ties with you. Additionally, I’ve kept track of all the expenses your mother and I have incurred for your family, so you will need to reimburse me!”
“Since your younger brother had a job, he provided us with monthly living expenses that we used for your household. But look at what he got in return! His son was sent to the hospital because of your son!”
“Don’t blame Serenity for causing a scene. I’ve gathered information myself. Sonny was taken to the emergency room and received extensive treatment. The doctors condemned the abuser for their cruelty, and I witnessed how severely Sonny was injured!”
“We just left the hospital and are heading back to your house to pack our belongings. From now on, your mother and I will reside in our own home and will no longer babysit your children. You should ask your in-laws to take care of them. If they can’t, then you are responsible for their care since they are your children, not ours.”
“We brought you into this world, so it is our duty to raise and educate you, but we are not obligated to raise our grandchildren.”
Chelsea responded, “Dad, have you been brainwashed by Serenity? Why are you siding with her?”
“You’re moving back in with Mom? You two will be all alone, and I’ll be worried. George already beat up Matthew. Dad, you raised him; why don’t you feel sorry for him?”
Mr. Brown replied coldly, “He deserves to be punished! He was beaten by his father, so as his grandfather, I can’t intervene. Matthew is my grandson, but Sonny is my only biological grandson. How can he possibly compare to Sonny?”
“Matthew is a Repton, while Sonny is a Brown. Sonny carries my last name! I won’t disregard the past, but this time, I cannot let it go when I see Sonny being hurt.”
“You are being beaten like this.” Mr. Brown refused to hit Matthew, despite having raised him, but he was tired of the ongoing situation. Even if his son and daughter-in-law were contemplating a divorce, that was their personal matter, and it wouldn’t change his role as Sonny’s grandfather. How could he remain indifferent while witnessing his grandson being assaulted to the point of hospitalization?
Chelsea said, “Dad, I won’t pursue compensation from Serenity anymore, okay? You and Mom shouldn’t move out. What will I do without you two? I still need to work.”
Mr. Brown didn’t respond and ended the call, feeling exasperated.
“Dad, are you and Mom really considering moving back to your own place?”
“Do you expect us to care for your nephew, who assaulted your son? No matter how kindly we treat them, they are still Reptons. Chelsea’s in-laws enjoy a life of comfort without any worries while your mother and I raise their grandchildren.”
“I didn’t even raise my own grandson because of them. Should I commend Matthew for bullying and hitting Sonny?”
Hank was left speechless.
“Don’t think I’m taking sides with Liberty and Serenity. I’m not. My loyalty lies with Sonny. He’s only two years and five months old. He could fall just by walking a bit too fast. Even a single slap is unbearable for a child his age, 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 multiple times. How can Sonny endure that? We should be thankful that Serenity brought her in-laws to intervene and stop Matthew’s violence. Otherwise, Sonny might have been severely harmed, and the Reptons would deny it, claiming Sonny fell to his death.” Hank chose to remain silent after that.
