Chapter 412 Wrap Your Head Up
“What’s wrong?” Alexander asked.
“Trevor got beaten up,” Elise answered with an emotionless expression on her face.
Upon seeing her expression, Alexander knew it was a serious matter.
Reaching out to grab her hand in his, he patted her shoulder gently to reassure her and ended up holding her hand
throughout the entire journey.
When they got to the hospital, Elise was told that Jeanie was also injured while protecting Trevor. After they rushed into
the hospital, they quickly ran into Jeanie, who was supported by a nurse. Her head was bandaged, and she looked really
weak.
Trevor’s condition was worse. He was lying in bed and couldn’t get up at all, immediately returning to his old self.
In Trevor’s ward, Austin was quiet while sitting next to his bed, and the atmosphere in the ward was extremely tense.
“What happened?” Elise broke the silence, as she couldn’t handle the depressing atmosphere any longer.
Although her words were directed to Jeanie, the usually straightforward Jeanie hesitated before muttering inaudible
sentences. Elise turned toward Austin. However, it was a given that he wasn’t willing to talk to her.
“Tell me what happened,” she turned to Trevor and said in an annoyed manner.
I’m here to help them resolve their problems instead of causing more trouble for them, so why are they hesitating to
talk?
“I got scammed and blackmailed.” As Trevor’s entire head was covered in bandages and only his eyes and mouth weren’t
covered, he was having a hard time trying to explain what happened. “I took the money you gave me to make a deal with
the company’s financial director, but I didn’t expect him to spike my drink. When I woke up, there was a woman sleeping
next to me, and the woman’s brother came in with a group of men before I could try to escape and beat me up.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “They refused to settle things peacefully and were adamant about
destroying my reputation, so they’re probably on the way to prepare an exposé at some media firms.”
“Did you do it?” Elise asked coldly.
“Of course not.” Trevor was sure before he asked in an angered manner, “Do I look like I have to force women to be with
me?”
“What’s the use of saying all these now?!” Jeanie, who had been quiet all along, snapped. “The man said that if Trevor
doesn’t marry the woman, they’ll sue him for sexual assault! His future will be ruined if that happens!”
“Mom, why are you so worried? As long as I know that I’m innocent, he can sue me however he wants. I refuse to believe
that the police will frame an innocent man!” Trevor exclaimed.
“What do you know?! You’re still single now! If the news about these gets out, who would still want to marry you?!”
Jeanie argued anxiously.
“If no one wants to marry me, so be it! Since Yoyo is already back, you can put her and her kids in your will, then! I don’t
care about these, anyway!” I don’t get it! Why are they this worried?
“That’s enough!” Austin snapped, causing everyone to shut up before he said with a dark look on his face, “Stop it. I’ve
already invited the woman’s family out to have a talk with them. We will continue this discussion at home.”
Right after that, a loud commotion rang out outside of Trevor’s ward. When Elise wanted to turn around to see what was
happening, the door was pushed open from the outside, causing her to lose her footing and fall into Alexander’s arms.
“Austin, I took a cab and came here right after knowing that you wanted to meet me!” The man who spoke was the
woman’s father, Leeroy Field. His eyes were narrowed, making him look like a calculative man, and his loud voice was
beyond annoying.
Leeroy shook Austin’s hand before he turned toward Trevor and pretended to be kind. “Oh, no! How could my son do
this to you?! He should have been gentler since we will be a family soon!”
“Who wants to be in a family with you?!” Jeanie snapped.
“I’m guessing this is Mrs. Anderson.” Instead of getting mad, Leeroy smiled. “It’s fine. You have the right to be mad since
my son really went overboard this time. Still, you have to put your emotions aside, as we still have to discuss our
children’s marriage!”
“I won’t marry your daughter. Just give up!” Trevor used the last bit of his energy to reject Leeroy stubbornly.
“You’re not the one making the call here.” Leeroy chuckled before turning toward Austin. “Isn’t that right, buddy?”
Leeroy came prepared. When he entered the ward and saw Austin’s expression, he knew they were holding the Anderson
Family by their throats. Even if he were to make an outrageous demand, the Anderson Family would surely do it for them.
At the same time, Austin’s silence, despite the unwilling look on his face, was a form of acknowledgment.
“Say something, Dad!” Trevor pulled on Austin’s shirt in an agitated manner. “I’m definitely not going to marry a woman
I don’t even know!”
“You’re definitely not going to marry her?! You shouldn’t have ended up in a bed together with her if that’s the case!”
Austin was pissed off as he reprimanded loudly. Right then, almost everyone in the hospital hallway could hear him.
Elise had met too many people like Austin, friendly on the outside but calculative on the inside. All he cares about is the
family’s reputation. Has he ever considered Trevor’s feelings?
It really frustrated Elise that her father had such a character. As Trevor treated her really well, she couldn’t stand the fact
that he was going to be ordered around like a puppet.
“I don’t understand how someone like you can be a father,” she remarked with a hint of sarcasm.
“Shouldn’t you understand Trevor’s character more so than others as his father? After getting manipulated, framed, and
beaten up by others, you want him to submit to humiliation instead of helping him out. Is this how someone from an
influential family should behave? Why should Trevor keep his suffering to himself when he’s from the Anderson Family?
What’s the point of helping out with the family business when it can’t even help him?”
At this moment, Trevor shot Elise a thankful look. Well, this is as expected from my little sister!
Right then, Austin was rendered speechless. He really didn’t want to cause more trouble, but it seemed like things were
getting out of control now.
Austin frowned as he contemplated on what to do next. Yet, Leeroy’s eyebrows were knitted into a deep frown as he
glared at Elise with a judgemental look. “Is this Anderson Family’s long-lost daughter? I heard she grew up in a village,
didn’t she? Is that why she’s so rude? Remember that only God can judge us, so who are you to interrupt?”
“Really? Only God can judge us?” Elise laughed. “What happened to judge not, that you be not judged? Do you need to
go back to refresh your faith? Oh, wait, maybe you should go back to Sunday school?”
“You little brat!” Leeroy was enraged and wanted to curse at Elise right then.
However, Alexander quickly stood in front of Elise to block Leeroy off with a dark expression on his face. At this moment,
he looked like he was about to lose control and tear Leeroy into pieces anytime soon.
Gulping, Leeroy turned toward the door. “Harald, why are you still daydreaming outside?! Get in now!”
“I’m coming, Dad!” Harald Field squeezed into the ward through the narrow door. He was a buff guy with a muscular
body and was about half a head taller than Alexander. “What’s wrong, Dad?”
“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear them saying they’re not planning to marry your sister?! Why are you letting a rapist off?
Catch him and take him to the police station! Let the police do the justice for us!” Leeroy declared before he pushed
Austin away together with Harald, and the two of them yanked Trevor from the hospital bed.
