The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Maggie’s fear hadn’t yet subsided. She clenched her clothes, barely managing to control herself from trembling.

The sight of Jean just now had her convinced she had seen the Grim Reaper himself. Now, she was even more afraid to admit that she had stolen something.

Without a second thought, she stubbornly denied it, “I’ve already told you, I didn’t steal anything! Didn’t you just search my room? You clearly didn’t find anything! Why are you still blaming me for the lost item? Maybe she just misplaced it somewhere and forgot, or she lost it somewhere by accident. Why do you insist that I stole it if you can’t find it?”

When she recalled that they hadn’t found anything just now, her eyes flickered with renewed confidence, and she began to stir

“Do you think that power and influence give you the right to oppress others and casually frame others? This is not how

you should treat people! Neera, I am, after all, your adoptive mother. How could you team up with others to treat us like this? Don’t you have any conscience? You accused us of being shameless, but who is the real shameless one here? If I had known you were such an ungrateful wretch, I would never have taken you in. I should have let you starve out there! If people outside knew that your good reputation is all a sham, that you’re actually such an opportunist, what would they say about you?”

Neera chuckled in exasperation. “Even now, you’re still so stubborn, thinking the whole world owes you, right? Let me tell you, I have a clear conscience, and I’m not afraid of anyone trying to criticize me behind my back! But what about you two? Aren’t you afraid that your lies will backfire, or that you’ll receive retribution?”

Maggie stood her ground, showing absolutely no signs of remorse.

“I believe the one who deserves to receive retribution is you! How could you treat your own parents. this way, favoring wealth over poverty, clinging to the illustrious Beauvort family, and discarding your adoptive parents without a second thought? You’ve not only ignored us, but now you’re teaming up with these people to bully us! You even hurt us. I’m warning you, if anything happens to Nigel, I don’t care if you’re from a powerful family, I will never let this go!”

“All right, then.” Neera lifted her chin, showing no fear. “Let’s deal with one thing at a time. Since you want to settle accounts, let’s first clear up this matter before moving on to the next. My daughter’s bracelet is missing, and I refuse to believe it grew legs and ran off, or sprouted wings and flew away. It must be somewhere in this house. If it’s not in your room, then we must look elsewhere. I’m going to find that bracelet even if it means turning this house upside down!”
