You, Me And Our Genius Twins Chapter 122
Chapter 122 Shut the Hell Up!
Thewyer respectfully handed the paperwork to Morgan before Morgan looked through them. When
he was satisfied with them, he passed the documents to Erin and said, “Sign these.”
“N-No… I won’t divorce. I won’t!” Erin shook her head and stared at the divorce paperwork in front of
her like they weren’t paper, but a viper with words printed on it.
Morgan eyed her and said icily, “If you sign these today, I’m willing to give you an apartment and a
commercial building as part of the settlement. If you don’t sign these, I’ll have mywyer proceed with
thewsuit. Do you still remember the agreement you entered into with my dad all those years ago? If I
take this divorce to court, this marriage will be dissolved and leave you with nothing. There will be no
settlement.”
“No… No…” Erin let out a shriek and quickly lunged toward Morgan before she fell to her knees in front
of him. She clutched at his clothes and looked up at him tearfully while crying, “Morgan, I know I was
wrong to have done all that. I’m really sorry, and I promise it won’t happen again. Give me one more
chance; please don’t go through with the divorce. Think about Jack and Nichs. Forgive me this once
and I promise I won’t do something like this ever again… We’re not young anymore, Morgan, and if we
divorce now, how would others think of us?”
She had not expected her schemes, born out of her petty jealousy, would end up being her downfall.
Had she known, she would have stayed quiet and washed her hands off the situation just like Benjamin
and Diana had done all this while.

It was now that she understood what it meant to have her ns backfiring on her. She thought she was
being clever when she hid her wickedness from the outside world, but in reality, it was only a matter of
time before her true nature revealed itself.
Her family did not suspect her because they trusted her implicitly, but when someone finally tore
through the veil that obscured her deepest, darkest, and most vicious thoughts, all her wickedness
came tumbling out into broad daylight.
Everyone knew what she had been nning to do.
It was as if she had been stripped bare in front of everyone, who sharpened their pitchforks without so
much as batting an eye.
Bitterness and regret flooded through her like they never had before.
The main family could prosper or suffer, and none of it would make a difference to her. Even if Crystal
died, Erin would not stand to inherit any part of her fortune in the main family; she would have nothing
to gain from sabotaging and aggravating others, so there was virtually no reason for her to try and get
on Crystal’s nerves.
Now, the life Erin hade to know was in tatters. Her plot against Crystal was a bust, and she was
left bearing the brunt of her own actions. She single-handedly ruined Nichs’ engagement and turned
the love of his life against him; her husband was throwing her out of the family home and making her
sign divorce papers; and her own family had long since fallen from grace, and they had hoped that
having the Wendels as their inws would help them from falling further.
If truly she and Morgan went through with the divorce, the Peters would lose their only lifeline. They
would have no one else to depend on in times of need.
Granted, Erin had two sons, but her eldest had insisted on bing awyer despite her avid
protests. She didn’t think he could amount to much as awyer.
As for Nichs, he had only just graduated from university not too long ago and was still jobless at the
moment. He could barely fend for himself, let alone provide for her and the rest of the Peters.
If she and Morgan divorced, her fall from the pedestal would be spectacr, and she would never be
able to spend her days as ady of leisure ever again. As such, she refused to divorce, and she
wouldn’t ever sign those papers even if she was being threatened with death.
She clung onto Morgan, sobbing and begging as tears flowed relentlessly down her face.
Jack’s heart twisted at the sight of this. He walked up to his father and pleaded quietly, “Dad, she
knows she’s wrong. Can’t you brush this off as a one-time thing and let her off on a warning?”
Morgan gave him a pointed look. “Jack, if you had married someone like your mother, would you put up
with her and never contemte divorce?”
Jack parted his lips to say something, but he made no reply in the end. He questioned himself then,
and he knew the answer. If he had married someone like Erin, he would most certainly divorce her.
He could tolerate plenty of things. His wife could be in-looking, rough around the edges, humorless,
or a cker. She could even be unreasonable and without intellect. However, there was no way he
could put up with a woman who was unkind and actively plotted against his brother.
“I’ll take that as a no,” Morgan said as he gazed at his son steadily. “Jack, if you can’t even put up with
someone like that, why should I have to? I have been tolerating her antics for over a decade, and I
stayed with her because of you and Nichs. Now that the both of you have grown up, the idea of a
perfect family does not bear the same weight anymore. Are you boys truly expecting me to go through
life with someone like her just so I can take care of sentiments that you should have long outgrown?”
He let out a slow sigh and added bitterly, “If this goes on, I will only be living in vain…”
Jack was rendered speechless. Even thew allowed for a divorce in the event of an irretrievable
breakdown of marriage, so long as it wasn’t premised on betrayal, an affair, or abandonment in times of
need, there was no one standing on a moral high ground who could deem divorce as unjust.
He had been staying with his parents for his whole life; they were the ones who raised him, so he knew
his father was telling the truth.
Ever since Erin’s side of the family had gone bankrupt, she had turned into a petty, unforgiving,
headstrong, and unbnced woman. As it turned out, time could really change a person.
He remembered there was a time when his mother had been kind and gracious too, but life sanded
away that shiny surface and ate away at her personality like rust. She slowly became selfish and
vicious, and she wanted nothing more than to see those around her suffer.
It started with her enjoying others’ sufferings and humiliation, but now, she had resorted to scheming
against her husband’s family.
Indeed, to expect Morgan to stick by her for the rest of his life was cruel and unreasonable.
After all, Morgan had not yet reached his fifties, and taking into consideration the average human
lifespan, he had a good twenty more years to go. Jack couldn’t bear to have him put up with his
mother’s antics for that long, not while it was thest few decades of his life.
He clenched his fists and lowered his head, and he did not try to speak up for Erin anymore.
“Jack? Why aren’t you speaking? Jack?” Erin stared at her son expectantly and cried belligerently,
“Jack, talk to your father for me. You and Nichs have grown up, and you could settle down to start
your own family anytime soon! I can’t go through with this divorce—if I do, you and Nichs will bear
the brunt of it! Jack, talk to your father. You have to do it. Please, I’m begging you!”
Jack sighed and crouched down to help his mother to her feet. With a hand wrapped around her arm,
he cajoled, “Mom, let’s just get up and talk about this…”
“No, I will not get up!” She let out a pained sob. “Jack, I can’t go through with this divorce. This family is
all I have, and I can’t lose all of you!”
“Mom, a divorce isn’t the end of the world,” he said patiently. “Even if you and Dad divorce, Nichs
and I will still be your sons, and we’ll still take care of you.”
“That’s different!” she screamed. “Your father and I are supposed to be a unit! If you and Nichs ever
get married and start families of your own, where would that leave me? I love your father, and I refuse
to back out of this marriage even if it kills me!”
Nichs, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly piped up, “Mom, the divorce wouldn’t have
happened had you not tried to hurt Aunt Crystal in the first ce! If you ever for a second saw Dad as
your husband, then you wouldn’t have plotted against Aunt Crystal. You—”
“Shut up! Shut the hell up!” Erin flew into a rage as she scrambled off the floor and rushed up to
Nichs before pping him hard in the face. “I have never tried to hurt your Aunt Crystal, so don’t
make up nonsense against me! That no-good tramp Alina made up lies, and you fell for it! Why would
you listen to her crap when you’re my son? How could you do this to me?”
