Chapter 1475

“What’s the matter, Auntie Zuniga? Is there something wrong?” she casually asked, her fingers idly tracing patterns on the bedsheet.

Over there, Auntie Zuniga’s tone didn’t sound too good.

“Ms. Garcia, your adoptive parents have arrived and insist on staying here. They’re refusing to leave.

Maggie was far from pleased. She

a piece of her mind, she continued, “Are you done with your call yet? She’s probably very busy right now, so it’s best not to disturb her. All you have to do is let her know we’re here. Or do I have to call her myself?”

Zuniga’s forehead was throbbing, but she could only bear with it and ignored Maggie. She then turned her head and continued her phone call with
