Chapter 524: Grounded

"What?" Mrs. Sealey widened her eyes at Gabi. "What are you talking about?"

"It's either that… or a lawsuit is coming your way. I am certain that Mrs. Sealey would not want to risk it, right? After all, a rap* case would be devastating for a young man like him."

"You already know that it would be devastating, but you are still doing this?"

Gabi didn't answer and just smiled at the woman. The Sealey Family has two sons. However, everyone can see that Mrs. Sealey and her husband favored the second one. Despite this, they couldn't really touch the eldest Sealey because he was smarter and definitely more competent than Harry. However, the eldest lacked the support and backing of his own parents. Because of this, his influence is not that great compared to his brother. Yet, this didn't stop him from winning the recognition of other countries.

But instead of becoming proud, this only made his parents more infuriated. Right now, the Sealey family is doing their best to cultivate Harry and increase his influence in society.

This would help him once he took over the company.

However, a r*pe case would surely shatter whatever it was that Harry has. "Please don't think that I am targeting your family, Mrs. Sealey," Gabi said. "This is the only punishment that I could think of for having such his indecent thoughts towards me."

"That— "

"Did I say the wrong thing? Harry Sealey, clearly wanted to do something to me. But I got lucky and stayed in my office to work. Do you really think that I am just someone that you and your family could scheme against?"

"What? We didn't…"

"Of course you would deny it. I already expected that."

"Miss Sutton, stop insulting my family. We never schemed against you! Whatever Harry did had nothing to do with us. We didn't tell him to do it. He was simply drunk!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes. That is the only explanation that I have for his actions. However, I think that this does not warrant some extreme punishments. I will not allow Harry to go out for three months. No electronics either. I am sure that this is enough punishment for what he did."

Gabi covered her mouth as she sneered. "Mrs. Sealey… you are funny. I didn't know that you have a knack for making people laugh." With that, Gabi gathered her things and got up. "I will give you until tonight to decide. If I will not receive your decision before midnight, then… please prepare yourself for the media tomorrow." Her lips lifted into a smirk. "I will make sure that Harry would no longer have any reason to show his face to the public anymore."

"Miss Sutton, you — " Mrs. Sealey's words were interrupted with a series of footsteps coming their way. The two women look at the man who strode towards them.

"Gabi! How come you are here?" It was none other than Harry Sealey. Sweat can be seen on his forehead as he gave Gabi a wary look. "Is this about the other night?"

"Harry… the things that she spoke of. Was it true?"

"It was an accident, mom. I would never do something like that."

"Is that so?" Gabi said.

"Of course! You can ask anyone else, I am not that kind of person."

"Ah… I am sure that Mr. Sealey was raised the right way. After all, you have loving parents behind you." The two flinched when they heard the sarcasm in Gabi's words. "So… since you are not the kind of person that would do that then… are you going to marry my maid?"

"What?"

"Didn't you hear me?"

"You wanted me to marry a mere maid?"

"That mere maid was the woman who got hurt instead of me, Mr. Sealey. Please be mindful of your words from now on."

"You— "

"What? Did I say something wrong? She got hurt instead of me. She was in that bed, naked and hurt because of me."

"Miss Sutton…"

Seeing the two speechless, Gabi smiled a smile that could only be akin to that of the devils. "Now… let me repeat my question. The one that I asked your mother. Are you going to marry my maid? Or… be labeled as the rap*st who attempted to rap*d me but rap*d the maid instead? That's three rap* words in a sentence, Mr. Harry. I purposely did that to emphasize your crime."

"You wanted me to marry that woman? Gabi, can't we talk about this? How about compensating her instead? She is but a nobody. I am certain that she would accept money. Plus… she wasn't a virgin, and she was the one who seduced me first."

Gabi cocked an eyebrow. How shameless!

"That woman saw me and tried to kiss me. So I pushed her away. But I was already drunk so… Gabi you should understand. I am just a man. When I saw her naked— "

"She wasn't naked. You were the one who ripped her clothes. I have pictures." Did they think they could use this method? How laughable!

"You— "

"She had bruises on her legs, arms, wrist, waist, and hips. There were purple bite marks all over her body and a wound on her back. Again, I have images."

"That— "

"Harry… what is she saying? Is this true?"

"Ma, I would never do that! I swear that woman seduced me."

"She seduced you… in my room? Is that it?"

"Of course— "

"Then why are you inside my room Mr. Sealey?"

"I— "

"Unlike you, I asked Miss Aren to do something inside my room. How about you?"

"Harry? Answer her. What were you doing in her room?"

"I — Alfons told me that was the guest room."

BINGO.

Gabi smiled inwardly. "And do you think that reason would protect you in the court?"

"Gabi, I already said— "

"Two things…" Gabi held two of her fingers in front of them. "It is either you marry her? Or… you rot in prison. You have until midnight to decide, Mr. Sealey. After that, the files inside my computer will be sent to all media outlets in the country."
