Chapter 353: Chapter 353

"How could you believe her?" Mr. Winters quickly looked at his phone, questioning Rosemary through it. "You’re saying that maid caught the whole thing on camera? Alright, then, let’s see the footage."

"No problem," Rosemary replied. She immediately sent the video to Phillip’s phone, adding a friendly reminder, "Grandpa, take care of yourself."

She was worried that Phillip would get overly upset after watching the video, causing his old illness to flare up.

Phillip responded, "Don’t worry. I’ll keep it cool to deal with some ungrateful fools!"

After hanging up, Phillip opened the video. Back then, the phone’s video quality was pretty crappy, but they could still make out a little boy running towards the pool, laughing and looking back to see if his friends were chasing him. Mr. Winters had just ended a phone call and exited the garden. Seeing the passing boy, he didn’t hesitate for a second and pushed the kid right into the pool.

The little boy was so shocked that he fell into the water before he could react.

The sight probably scared the daylights out of Elsie. Her phone even shook a bit. Then, someone rushed over and jumped into the water to save the boy.

What happened next was precisely as Rosemary described.

To make people believe he was the hero, Mr. Winters even jumped into the water himself to get completely soaked. Then he came out, pretending to be all freaked out and calling over all the guests. When the guests rushed over, all their attention was on the boy. Phillip and Shirley immediately called for a doctor.

Nobody doubted the authenticity of the event.

Rosemary sent over a second video, with someone asking Elsie why she didn’t speak up at the time.

Elsie said it was because she was too scared then. Plus, Phillip quickly decided that Mr. Winters was their savior, showing gratitude all over the place. She didn’t dare to speak up.

It was her first high-paying job, and she had only been there for a few days. If she lost it, her family’s debts would be insurmountable, and her grandma in the hospital was about to have surgery.

Back then, Mr. Winters dared to lay hands on the McMillian kid, pushing him into the pool, so Elsie was also afraid that if she told the truth, the Winters would give her trouble and get back at her.

If the McMillians found out it was Mr. Winters who pushed their kid into the water, they would be livid. Then, the Winters might face legal punishment. If the Winters couldn’t handle the McMillians, could they handle a commoner like her?

She didn’t want any danger. She wanted to earn more money to help her family get out of their tough spot.

But as Phillip and Shirley got nicer and nicer to her, her guilt grew stronger and stronger. Eventually, she couldn’t stand it anymore and left the McMillian family after half a year. When she left, Shirley even gave her a big gift card worth five times her monthly salary.

She wanted to tell Shirley the truth then but thought better of it. It had been half a year since the incident, and telling her then might disappoint Shirley.

So, she didn’t say anything in the end. After leaving the McMillian family, she would still occasionally check up on the McMillians and the Winters in the news. Whenever she saw the two families doing charity work together or doing business, she felt unbearable pain.

Elsie said in the video, "Mr. McMillian, I’m really sorry."

In the video, Elsie was crying, her face full of regret. "I was too scared then, didn’t want to cause trouble. I’m really sorry, I’m really sorry to all of you!"

Phillip closed his eyes. It took him a while to muster up the strength to throw a punch at Mr. Winters. Mr. Winters was caught off guard and fell to the ground. His whole body felt like it was falling apart. The pain nearly made it impossible for him to breathe.

"Got anything to say now?" Phillip angrily kicked him again.

Mr. Winters couldn’t believe Rosemary managed to uncover the truth in such a short time. Now, with clear evidence, if he continued to deny it, his family would face severe consequences.

So, he had to say, "Phillip, listen to me."

"You shameless jerk!" Phillip shouted.

Phillip had someone bring a metal rod again and ruthlessly struck Mr. Winters, not wanting to hear his nonsense.

"Phillip, listen to me," Mr. Winters pleaded, disoriented from the beating and in unbearable pain. He instinctively tried to grab Phillip’s trouser leg.

Phillip swung down brutally. The crisp sound of a breaking bone echoed in the air, sending chills.

"Ah!" Mr. Winters was trembling in pain, and his face turned several shades paler.

’Beep, beep.’

His phone rang once more. After picking it up, Phillip saw it was the third video from Rose.

The criminal actions of Enid and Noreen were clearly recorded in the video.

"Presented with such clear evidence, I’d like to see how you’re going to explain this!" Phillip said angrily.

Phillip tossed the phone in front of him. Mr. Winters struggled to crawl over and saw that his granddaughters truly had committed crimes.

He was shaking in fear.

Before, he could use the favor he did to save his life, but now...

"Phillip, listen to me. They were confused, so they made a mistake. I’ll go home and discipline them, severely discipline them, and then bring them here to apologize to you, your wife, and Rosemary."

"You won’t get the chance to go home," Phillip said coldly. He dropped the iron rod. The heavy sound of the rod hitting the ground sent a chill down Mr. Winters’ spine.

’No chance to go home. What did that mean?’

"You attempted murder years ago," Phillip said, taking a disinfectant wipe from the butler. He cleaned his fingers and threw the wipe onto Mr. Winters. "Turning yourself into the police is the only way out for you now."

Mr. Winters’ mind went blank. He had never considered turning himself in.

If he appeared at the police station, it would be a nationwide sensation, and the stock price of the Winters family’s enterprise would plummet.

"Without the McMillian family, you wouldn’t have been able to enter high society," Phillip said, giving him a cold look. "You’re ungrateful."

Phillip couldn’t kill Mr. Winters, but once Mr. Winters turned himself in, there were ways to make him wish he were dead.

Mr. Winters pleaded, "Fortunately, my driver at the time jumped down to save people and credited me with the rescue. Phillip, this is my fault. Enid and Noreen hired a hitman, but they were deceived. They also made a mistake, but I beg you to spare them for the sake of our many years of friendship. I’ll go to hell."
