The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Maggie continued her act by saying, “I know you’re upset that we came here without notifying you in advance, but we were just worried that you were busy. We just didn’t want to disturb

you,

that’s all. However, your housekeeper was so formidable! She even used your name to drive us out! Neera, I know you look down on us country folks now, but even so, you wouldn’t do something so heartless, right?”

Neera closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them again, her gaze was icy cold.

She didn’t mince her words, speaking very directly.

“It was I who asked Auntie Zuniga to show you two out. She was merely following my instructions, not intentionally targeting you. There’s no need for you to keep calling her a housekeeper in a derogatory way. As for your affairs, I neither want to meddle nor hear about them. You had the chance to head back to the countryside by car after leaving my house, but you didn’t. Instead, you chose to call me at this hour. You and I both know that you’re scheming something. I assume you at least have enough money for a hotel stay, right? If you have nowhere else to go, just check into a hotel and head home tomorrow. From now on, live your own lives and please, don’t bother me again.”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Maggie to respond and directly hung up the phone.

“But-” Before Maggie could finish her sentence, the line went dead.

She was instantly infuriated. After turning off the screen, she gritted her teeth in anger and muttered angrily, “That insolent wretch! She really thinks she’s some kind of royalty now, acting all high and mighty. How dare she speak to me like that? I bet she’s forgotten that it was us who took her back when she had nothing to eat or drink and nowhere to go! That shameless wretch has no decency!”

Nigel, too, had a stern expression on his face.

“Hmph! We were just too kind back then. That’s how we ended up raising such an ingrate! I’d like to see just how long she can keep up this arrogance!”

The next day, in the evening, Neera was having dinner with her family when he unexpectedly received a call from Levi.

She initially thought something urgent had happened at the company, so she quickly picked up the call.

As soon as the call connected, she was immediately met with the sobbing sounds of Maggie before she could even hear Levi’s voice.
