Chapter 575 Lovers-To-Enemies Trope?


    Grayson forcefully pushed her away. "I made it clear to you long ago that I don''t feel romantic love for


    you! What day and age do you think this is? What makes you think you can gaslight me into marrying


    you with your virginity? Have you forgotten that I am a doctor?"


    As a doctor, he had witnessed countless bodies. How absurd was it to talk about virginity and purity


    with a doctor? To him, the body was merely flesh and bones. What could truly apany him for a


    lifetime was a soul that resonated with his.


    In the past, he had feelings for Ann because she had cared for him when he was sick as a child.


    Naturally cold and averse to social interactions, he had very few rtives and friends, so only a number


    in his family provided warmth.


    Each person was precious to him. He cherished the warmth from his childhood and had always


    considered Ann as family. His brothers all criticized her, but the image that stuck in his mind was her


    gentle presence when he was sick.


    Grateful for that affection, he trusted her, supported her, and hoped for her happiness. But what did she


    do?


    She betrayed him, schemed against him, and resorted to despicable means to force him into marriage.


    How could he possibly marry such a woman? Just because they were intimate, he was expected to


    marry her?


    In that day and age, people still used such an outdated method to arrange marriages. It truly


    astonished him. Ann had sessfully severed thest trace of his feelings for her with the most


    repulsive means possible, and he never wanted to see her again.


    With disgust, he nced at her and walked toward the door.


    "Grayson, where are you going?" she eximed in panic. "Grayson, you can''t leave!"


    Her body was herst asset, and marrying Grayson was herst lifeline. How could he go?


    "Grayson, don''t walk away. I beg you, Grayson. I only have you!" She rushed over and hugged him, her


    cheek pressed against his back, tears streaming down her face. "Grayson, you''re all I have! Don''t you


    love me? Let''s get married, I beg you. Let''s do that!"


    She was losing her sanity. She had calcted for so long, thinking he would marry her as long as she


    had sex with him. Despite considering countless possibilities, she never expected him to reject her.


    How could he possibly do that? Among the four Hart brothers, only Grayson treated her the best.


    Grayson always listened to Sebastian, but for her sake, he disregarded Sebastian''s objection and let


    her live in his house, taking care of her in every way.


    Grayson clearly loved her! She had always believed that if it were not for Sebastian''s interference, she


    and Grayson would have been lovers and eventually married. She never expected that when given the


    opportunity, hepletely abandoned her and grew disgusted with her.


    At that point, she had never been so terrified. Even when she was despised by Sebastian and


    abandoned by Philip, at least she still had Grayson, as well as the means and confidence to make a


    comeback.


    He was her only bet, but now, even he wanted to abandon her. Without him, she had nothing. She had


    lost everything…


    Grayson forcefully pushed her away, turned around, and looked at her expressionlessly. "I''ll say it one


    last time—I don''t love you! What I feel for you is familial, not love. But now, you have severed the family


    bond between us. From now on, you and I are strangers. I will pretend that I never knew you!" After


    saying that, he quickly strode away.


    "No! Grayson…" Ann screamed heartbreakingly, wanting to chase after him, but was halted by the


    police.


    They stood before her. "Pleasee with us to the station."


    "Get lost, all of you, get lost!" She frantically attacked the officers.


    The police did not want to use force against her, but she struck first. Hence, they had no choice but to


    use handcuffs and invite her there.


    On the other side, when Carlisle met up with Madeline and Leigh at the police station, he persuaded


    them to head home. Lawyering was his area of expertise, and Madeline, a businesswoman, and Leigh,


    a doctor, would be of no use waiting around.


    The two of them listened to the advice, with Madeline returning to Sun Garden and Leigh returning to


    Oasis Law Office.


    After Madeline put Quincy and Joel to sleep that night, she finished bathing and returned to her


    bedroom. Before she could lie down, her phone rang. It was a call from Leigh.


    She answered the phone and put it to her ear. Before she could speak, she heard Leighughing


    hysterically on the other end of the line.


    "Leigh, have you been drinking again? Are you going crazy?"


    "Not at all." Sheughed for a while before gasping for breath and saying, "Maddie, have you heard


    about the lovers-to-enemies trope?"


    "What?"


    "The lovers-to-enemies trope!" Leighughed even more joyfully. "Hey, Maddie, did you know?


    Grayson and Ann did it!"


    Madeline was confused. "Did what? Leigh, you said you aren''t drinking. A humannguage, please?"


    "Oh, why are you so slow?" Leigh pouted. "A man and a woman, alone together; Ann has been eyeing


    Grayson. They did something. What else could it be?"


    Madeline was stunned. "Have they… proimed their love?"


    "Hahaha!" Leighughed maniacally. "Maddie, you''re so civilized!"


    Madeline was speechless and could imagine Leigh rolling on the bed,ughing uproariously. "Is it really


    that funny, Leigh?"


    "Oh, trust me, it is. It''s hrious!" Leigh could not stopughing. "Hey, Maddie, you know we all dislike


    Ann, right?"


    "Yeah."


    Everyone around them, except for Grayson, had a lukewarm attitude toward her.


    "Who treats Ann the best?" asked Leigh.


    Madeline did not hesitate. "Of course, it''s Grayson."


    Leighughed like a goose.

    "Girl, have you gone crazy?" Madeline could not help it.


    "No, no, I find it quite amusing." Leigh chuckled. "Let me ask you again. Who dug a grave for Ann?"


    Madeline hesitated for a moment before responding, "Are you referring to Grayson?"


    "Yes, yes!" Leigh nodded enthusiastically, a smile on her face. "Did you know? Ann practically drugged


    him and forced herself on him, demanding that he marry her. But guess what? He turned his back on


    her, not only denying their rtionship but also despising her. He even publicly dered to sever ties


    with her!"


    She continued, "Maddie, the person who used to treat Ann the best ended up betraying her. What are


    your thoughts? Isn''t this a ssic lovers-to-enemies trope?"
