You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 523 What Goes Around Comes Around

Donovan hummed and hawed, struggling to find words.

What else does Noah not understand?

"Why did you send the photo of me and Rebecca to Amy?" Noah questioned angrily. "Does seeing me fail to live a good life makes you feel that d*mn good?!"

Upon hearing that, Donovan defended himself by explaining, "How the hell was I supposed to know she is Ewan's sister?!"

"It doesn't matter if she is Ewan's sister or not. She is still my girlfriend," Noah added. "So, why did you send the photo of me with another woman to my girlfriend?! Aren't we buddies?! Shouldn't you help me keep this kind of thing a secret?"

Donovan was tongue-tied.

After a while, he finally said, "I wasn't aware she was Ewan's sister. Besides, I think Rebecca suits you better. I did it for your good."

"Am I the one dating? Or you? Do I look like a three-year-old or a five-year-old to you? Do you honestly think I don't know what my heart wants?" Noah threw him a few questions before angrily hanging up the phone.

As for Donovan, his face turned pale as he held the disconnected phone.

Why exactly did I choose to meddle in these matters in the first place?

Look at the mess I have gotten myself into now! Not only have I failed to please any parties, but I also put myself and my family at risk.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Rebecca. His gaze was devoid of the closeness and admiration he used to have. "Are you happy now?"

Rebecca frowned as she asked, "Donovan, what does that supposed to mean?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Donovan sneered. "Don't think I don't know that you've been using me as a pawn, Rebecca. I suggest you better find a way to solve this crisis. Or else, I won't let you off!"

Frankly speaking, he had been helping Rebecca wasn't solely because they grew up together and were good friends. It was also because he thought she was the one Noah fancied.

He intended to gain some merits for himself by helping Rebecca marry Noah.

That way, he would undoubtedly benefit from it when Rebecca became the madam of the Ellis Family.

But now, due to Rebecca using him as a pawn, he offended Amy and was uncertain of the events that would happen in the future.

Of course, he believed Rebecca would suffer a more tragic fate than him!

After all, he was merely an accomplice who compounded the problem. Rebecca, on the other hand, was Amy's true love rival. If Ewan wanted to deal with them, she and the Richardson Family would be

his first targets.

Now that he had taken his anger out on Rebecca, coupled with his belief that she and the Richardson Family would definitely have a bad ending in the future, his friendly attitude toward Rebecca took a sharp turn.

Rebecca, who was first startled by the revelation of Amy's brother's true identity, looked extremely grim when getting sternly warned by Donovan.

Inwardly, she particularly despised Donovan's attitude of elevating and belittling others and turning his back on her so quickly. However, she currently didn't want to offend him.

Also, she didn't have the confidence to offend anyone.

Flashing Donovan a gentle smile, she said, "Donovan, we have been friends since childhood. Rest assured. If there's anything I can do to help you in the future, I will definitely spare no effort."

"Huh," Donovan sneered. "Even now, you're still pretending in front of me. Are you not tired? Instead of doing this, why don't you try to curry favor with Noah? Or beg Amy not to tell her brother about you scheming against her and spare you?"

The muscles on Rebecca's face twitched, and she could barely maintain her smile.

"I have something else that I need to attend to, so I'll leave first." She feared she couldn't refrain from losing her temper and would fall out with Donovan if she stayed longer.

Once she got home, she locked herself in her bedroom, feeling anxious like a cat on a hot tin roof.

What should I do?

It seems that I have taken the most dangerous path by accident.

At first, Rebecca thought marrying Noah was her best choice. To her surprise, his current girlfriend turned out to be someone with an astonishing family background instead of a poor girl as she had imagined.

She thought that with Amy's background, it wouldn't matter how she treated her, even if she crushed Amy under her heels.

But never had she dreamed…

Thinking about the wrath Ewan would unleash on her and the Richardson Family in the future, which could lead to their downfall, she felt fear wash over her in waves.

Right now, she could only pray that Ewan and Amy's relationship wasn't strong enough; or that Ewan was magnanimous enough not to care about these trivial matters and spare her and her family.

Otherwise, the only path waiting for her would be complete ruin.

In the meantime, her parents sensed something was wrong when they noticed that she locked herself in her room and didn't come out.

Concerned, her mother knocked on the door, entered, and asked, "Becca, what's wrong? Are you feeling under the weather?"

"Mom…" Rebecca couldn't bear her emotional stress and told her mother everything.

Audrey Green, Rebecca's mother, was shocked after listening to her story. "How so? How can Amy possibly turn out to be Ewan's sister?"

"It's true!" Panic-stricken, Rebecca asked, "Mom, what should we do now?"

Sure enough, a big shot like Ewan can easily ruin our family.

To him, it's like an elephant wanting to crush an ant. A mere lift of its foot will do the trick.

And will an elephant have any concerns or hesitations when crushing an ant?

The answer is no.

So as long as Ewan and Amy have a good relationship, he will certainly avenge her if he finds out she has been mistreated.

By then, our family will be doomed!

Audrey, too, was jittery as soon as these thoughts crossed her mind. Not knowing what to do, she anxiously replied, "Come with me. We have to tell your dad about this."

Since this matter concerned the survival of the Richardson Family, she had to discuss a solution with her husband without any delay.

With that, the mother-and-daughter duo hurried downstairs and relayed the situation to Isaac Richardson, Rebecca's father.

After hearing what they said, Isaac's facial expression changed drastically. "Is this true?"

Rebecca nodded. "It should be!"

"How did this happen?" Similarly, Isaac was in a state of panic.

Our family's company is already on the brink of collapse. We can't withstand any more disturbances.

If Ewan really seeks revenge on us, our family will surely be ruined.

He couldn't help but light a cigarette and take a few deep puffs. A few minutes later, he came to a conclusion. "Audrey, prepare some valuable items, find Amy, and take Rebecca with you. Apologize to her, and make sure she forgives Rebecca. Don't let her complain about this to Ewan!"

"Go and apologize to Amy?!" Rebecca looked reluctant.

Amy is my love rival!

To ask me to apologize to her is to sentence me to shame!

"What's the matter? You don't want to go?" Isaac cast her a glacial look before continuing, "Between apologizing to Amy and letting our family go bankrupt to the point that we have to live in poverty for the rest of our lives, which one do you choose?"

Looking ashen, Rebecca parted her lips but couldn't come up with a reply.

Which one will I choose?

Is there even a need to say?

Apologizing to Amy is just a momentary embarrassment, but if our family's company goes bankrupt, we will live on the streets and be poor for the rest of our lives.

Between momentary embarrassment and a lifetime of poverty, I will pick the first option, no doubt.

Still, I feel abashed and resigned.

In fact, I wouldn't have tried to please Noah if I had known this would happen.

How I wish I had chosen someone else back then!

I should have picked a man without a girlfriend. That way, none of this would have happened today.

But it's pointless to talk about these things now. What's done is done. I can only obey Dad's words and meet Amy with Mom.
