Chapter 2040 Stay At The Simpson Residence
ncing at Nichs’ face, Rodney interrogated Wilbur, “Why did you hit him for no reason?”
Wilbur crossed his arms and replied innocently, “He… He instructed that if someone asks me, I have to
say Maya hit me like that. I’m just imitating him.”
By saying that, Wilbur had just betrayed Nichs. Nicole immediately stepped forward. “So, Maya
didn’t p you. Nichs instructed you to say that, right?”
With an anxious look, Nichs quickly defended himself, “That’s not what happened! He’s mentally ill;
he’s an idiot now. His words cannot be trusted.”
“You’re the idiot! I’m not speaking nonsense. You taught me to say that. You told me as long as I said
Maya hit me, Dad won’t let me leave with her. Instead, he’ll let me stay at home. That’s why I said that!”
With that, Wilbur nced at Rodney deliberately. “Dad, I already said that Maya hit me. Will you still let
me go with her?”
Everyone got an idea of what was going on.
Mable wanted to defend Nichs. However, the moment she opened her mouth, Rodney shot a sharp
re at her, causing her to freeze.
“When we were upstairs, you kept jeopardizing my attempts to convince Wilbur to leave with me. I
really can’t figure it out. Why are you so unwilling to let Wilbur go to Imperial Garden with me? Are you
trying to stop him from getting treatment and recovering?” demanded Maya.
Nichs’ expression turned grim. “That’s not what I’m trying to do. Since Wilbur’s not in the right state
of mind, his words cannot be fully trusted.”
Mabel quickly agreed, “Yeah! Why would we be unwilling for Wil to recover? In fact, we wish that he’ll
go back to normal immediately! As his mother, my heart aches for Wil too. Since he’s so averse to
going to Imperial Garden, why don’t we let him stay at home? Mrs. Seet and the two doctors can stay
here too. Why must we force Wil to go to Imperial Garden?”
After saying that, she nced at Rodney. “Rodney, think about it. If news about us sending Wil to
Imperial Garden when he’s ill spreads, people will say you don’t care about him at all. In fact, they’ll
use you of being disgusted by him! You know the power of rumors, right? Our house is very big,
anyway. It’spletely fine to let a few doctors stay here.”
She then raised her head and looked at Nicole. “Of course, if you aren’t used to staying here, Mrs.
Seet, you can return to Imperial Garden. If Wil needs you, we’ll send someone to pick you up. I’m sure
since Wil’s going to be your son-inw, and that you wish for your daughter’s happiness, you
won’t find it troublesome, right?”
Nicole returned Mabel’s gaze, feeling frustrated.
Why are she and her son so reluctant to let Wilbur go to Imperial Garden? What are they scared of?
Since Mabel had already put it that way and Wilbur was still insisting that he did not want to go to
Imperial Garden, it would be inappropriate for Nicole to keep forcing him.
Rodney nced at Wilbur. “If that’s the case, Mrs. Seet…”
“Just let Wilbur stay here. You can let the doctorse over anytime to treat him.”
Mabel was overjoyed to hear that. “I know you care about Wil, Mrs. Seet. To the two doctors, thank
you.”
Looking at Nicole worriedly, Maya whispered, “There is definitely a reason they refuse to let Wilbur go
to Imperial Garden. Will he be in danger if he stays here?”
“Maya, if you genuinely want to be with Wilbur, you can stay to protect and take care of him. With you
by his side, they won’t dare to do anything to him. Previously, your father sent the Hidden Masters to
protect you. You can stay at the Simpson residence with them. Are you okay with that?”
After thinking about it, Maya nodded. “Yes, Mom.”
Then, she told everyone her idea.

When Nichs and Mable heard that she wanted to stay in the Simpson residence to care for Wilbur,
their hearts sank. However, they thought about it again. Since the Simpson residence was their turf,
dealing with Maya would be a piece of cake. It did not matter whether a brat like her stayed there.
When it came to a battle of wits, she would definitely lose.
