However, a quarter of an hourter, the servant informed her that no bracelet was found in the room.
Wrenn’s brows furrowed. Before she could speak, she heard the smug voice of Maggie.
“Well, what did I say? I knew this little brat was talking nonsense, but you wouldn’t believe me! Now
you know it, don’t you? Did you really think that the child raised by that ungrateful Neera would be any
good? Let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t trust her so blindly. She’s nothing but an ingrate, even
ignoring her adoptive parents who have been kind to her, let alone treating others. All this talk about
being sensible, gracious, gentle, and virtuous is all a show for you!”
Penny’s eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she stomped her foot in frustration.
“My mommy is not that kind of person! She’s the best woman in the whole world, and I won’t let you
nder her!”
Sammy and Harvey clenched their tiny fists tightly, brimming with anger, wishing they could charge
forward.
Their good upbringing, however, prevented them from making such a rude gesture.
Even if they were seething with hatred, they still upheld the finest manners they were taught at home.
Yet, Maggie was aggressively domineering, wearing the smug expression of a petty person who had
come into power, which was truly nauseating.
“nder? Who exactly is ndering whom? If it weren’t for your lies, little brat, things wouldn’t have
escted, making everyone ufortable. I haven’t even med you yet, but you sure know how to
make a fuss, using me of stealing your bracelet. How ridiculous!”
After she finished speaking, she looked up again at Wrenn.
“So, Mrs. Beauvort, you should believe us now, shouldn’t you? After today’s incident, don’t you think
you owe us a sincere apology? After all, we were wrongfully used, nearly ndered as thieves by
your grandchildren. We can’t bear such an injustice! Also, you did promise us earlier that if nothing was
found, we could name our terms aspensation. So, if we do ask for something, you will agree to it,
won’t you?”
Wrenn looked at the greed that was so obvious on her face, her expression growing increasingly
solemn.
She was certain that this couple had stolen Penny’s bracelet. But if it wasn’t in this room, where could
they have hidden it?
Seeing that she was silent, Maggie became increasingly arrogant.
“You’re not thinking of going back on your word, are you? Aren’t the Beauvort family always priding
themselves on keeping promises? Why are you silent now? Could it be that you’re reluctant to part with
your wealth? Oh, I thought you wealthy folks were all generous and straightforward. I didn’t expect you
to be so stingy, just like Neera!”
Sammy had been holding back for a long time. Upon hearing these words, he could no longer restrain
himself. Clenching his small fists, he charged forward with fierce momentum.
“How dare you insult my mommy like this! You’re not allowed to speak like that! You’re a bad person!”

Seeing him rush forward, Wrenn was instantly rmed, fearing that he would be at a disadvantage and
get hurt. She quickly called out to him, “Sammy, stop right now!”
However, Sammy was so angry at the moment that he couldn’t hear anything at all.
He didn’t actually want to hit anyone. He just wanted to grab Maggie and make her apologize to his
mother.
Before he could even touch Maggie, his hand was firmly grasped by Nigel.
“Let go of me!” Sammy got startled and quickly pulled back his arm.
However, Nigel’s grip was very tight. His face darkened as he red at him.
“Just because your lowly mother married into the Beauvort family, you think you’re some high and
mighty young master. Back then, you were nothing but a wild-”
However, before he could finish his rant, arge hand gripped his wrist.
That hand was fair and slender, with distinct and prominent knuckles.
In the next moment, a heart-wrenching scream erupted from Nigel’s mouth.
His elbow jutted forward, his arm twisted in an extremely contorted manner, almost winding around his
front shoulder and twisting toward his back.
If this continued, his arm might just break.
Unfortunately, there was no time for Nigel to catch his breath, as a foot brutally kicked him in the
stomach.
Another agonizing scream echoed, and Nigel’s face was twisted in unbearable pain. Hisplexion
turned red, and his body leaned back as he was flung away a considerable distance.
Maggie was terrified by this sudden turn of events. She stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the scene
before her. It took her a few seconds to snap back to reality.
“Nigel!” she cried out in rm, quickly stepping forward, intending to help him up.
It seemed that Nigel was hit hard by that kick. Hey on his side clutching his stomach, his face
contorted in pain. It took him quite a while to get up.
“Nigel, Nigel, how are you? Are you all right?”
Nigel was unable to utter a single word.

She gritted her teeth, turning her head to look behind her. She was about to curse out loud, but the
moment her eyes met his, she was taken aback.
The
person who took action was none other than Jean.
At this moment, he was holding Sammy, his eyes cold and stern as he watched Nigel writhing in pain
on the ground.
And by his side stood another person-Neera.
Neera had no interest in how Nigel was doing. She anxiously crouched down, examining Sammy with
eyes full of worry.
“Are you okay? Were you hurt just now?”
Sammy looked at her, then looked up at Jean, a nk and incredulous look in his eyes.
Neera’s heart ached even more. She gently touched his little face and said, “Don’t be afraid. Mommy
and Daddy are back. No one can hurt you. Don’t be scared.”
At this moment, Sammy seemed to snap back to reality. Suddenly, his eyes welled up with tears and he
threw himself into Neera’s arms.
“Mommy, you’re finally back!”
He felt an unbearable sense of injustice in his heart, but he held onto his pride, refusing to let himself
shed tears. His voice, however, carried a slight hint of a sob.
