    Chapter 52 Growing Vegetables


    But they wore sickly smiles when they saw Nancy go out of the car. After all, Nancy was the


    daughter of the influential Brook family.


    "Woof! Woof!"


    Adolph barked and ran over, wagging its tail. Nancy faintly heard someonein out of


    dissatisfaction.


    "Where did this disgusting doge from?"


    "Where''s the butler? The dog is annoying." One of the teenagers even kicked Adolph in disgust.


    Adolph dodged the kick and growled at those people who appeared at the Book''s vi suddenly.


    "Woof! Woof!" Adolph didn''t bite anyone because Nancy didn''t allow it to do that. But it barked to


    scare those people.


    "Go away! What a disgusting dog!"


    Nancy pursed her lips unhappily and Marcus also put on a sulky expression.


    "Adolph,e here."


    Nancy said softly. Those who cursed Adolph before felt embarrassed, especially when they saw


    Nancy hugging Adolph. A hint of disdain and sarcasm shed across their eyes.


    They were certain that Nancy had grown up in a vige since she was a child because Nancy


    regarded such a rude yellow dog as her pet.


    "Are you Nancy? We are your uncles and aunts. Let me introduce Liz. This is your elder female


    cousin, Liz. Liz was of a simr age as you. In the future, you can y with Liz."


    The middle-aged woman was enthusiastic and talkative. If Marcus didn''t stand beside Nancy, she


    would hug Nancy.

    The middle-aged woman appeared warm and kind, judged by her tone and actions. But Nancy was


    vignt and hid herself and Adolph behind Marcus. She hugged Marcus'' leg tightly and kept silent,


    her eyes lowering and her mouth tightened into a thin line.


    Nancy didn''t like these people. They were smiling, but Nancy could feel a strong current of malice


    from them. Besides, they kicked and cursed Adolph, so Nancy didn''t want to forgive them.


    Nancy stroked Adolph''s fur and didn''t say anything.


    The middle-aged woman shut up embarrassedly under Marcus'' icy gaze.


    "Why is Nancy so introverted?"


    Marcus said coldly, "Excuse me, I can''t get by."


    He said "Excuse me" in a domineering manner. He had no patience with these so-called rtives


    who were thick-skinned.


    Marcus was surprised by Nancy''s attitude. This was because Nancy was always good-tempered


    and easy-going even when she was teased by Adam and Louis. But now, Marcus knew Nancy


    would also be aloof when she met people she disliked.


    Instead of being displeased, Marcus was gratified by Nancy''s attitude.


    "Let''s go."


    Marcus stroked Nancy''s fluffy hair and said gently. His voice softened only when he spoke to Nancy.


    Nancy realized Marcus was not angry about her attitude towards the middle-aged woman. Now she


    was relieved and raised her head to smile at Marcus.


    "Marcus."


    Nancy was touched because Marcus, as her elder brother, was on her side.


    Marcus bent down and carried Nancy in his arms. Those rtives thought it was incredible. Marcus


    oozed tenderness despite his expressionless face. All the people present knew Marcus was only


    gentle with Nancy.


    The middle-aged woman red at her daughter, Liz. If Liz could ingratiate herself to Marcus, their


    family would live a good life.


    After all, Marcus was the sessor of the Brook Group. The value of its assets was inestimable.


    The girl standing next to the middle-aged woman was Yvonne Brook, who was looking at Nancy


    jealously. Attracted by Marcus'' gentleness, Yvonne went forward and shouted at Marcus.


    "Marcus."


    Yvonne said in a gentle voice. She looked at Marcus, her eyes full of tender affection.


    "I heard that you were back. So I came specially to see you."


    Marcus walked past Yvonne with an indifferent expression and ignored her directly without saying a


    word.


    Yvonne felt embarrassed. She only hated Nancy because Marcus was too influential.


    Before Nancy came back, Marcus was also indifferent to Yvonne''s family. But Yvonne thought he


    had never gone too far.


    Marcus suddenly turned around. Yvonne was excited and about to say something. But Marcus just


    nced coldly at the young man who had kicked Adolph.


    "Get out of here if you kick Adolph next time."


    The young man named Tyrone was the son of the middle-aged woman. He was frightened and felt


    his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand.


    It was heartbreaking for the middle-aged woman to see her son''s face turn pale with fear. But she


    didn''t dare to contradict Marcus directly.


    "Marcus, Tyrone didn''t do it on purpose. He didn''t know the dog..."


    Marcus didn''t want to listen to the middle-aged woman and left directly with Nancy in his arms.


    Adolph seemed to know Marcus had helped it to take revenge on Tyrone. Adolph was no longer


    afraid of Marcus and followed his steps closely, wagging its tail and sticking out his tongue.


    Yvonne clenched her fists in anger and dug her fingernails into her palm. She wondered whether


    the dog was more important than his rtives in Marcus'' mind!


    "Nancy, wee back.


    As soon as Windy saw Nancy, she took Nancy out of Marcus'' arms with a gentle smile. Windy held


    Nancy in her arms and asked Marcus through eye contact.


    ''Nancy wasn''t bullied, right?''


    Marcus was expressionless.


    Windy felt speechless.


    Windy felt she couldn''t expect Marcus to have any different expression on his face.


    The middle-aged woman and her family also came in. They came out to wee Marcus back


    enthusiastically, but now they forced a smile.


    Windy couldn''t disguise her glee at their embarrassment. She put on a false smile and said with


    Nancy in her arms.


    "Thank you for giving my son a warm wee. As Marcus'' mother, I am even less enthusiastic than


    you. "


    The middle-aged woman nced at Marcus and controlled her anger. She thought it was


    unfortunate for James to marry such an impolite woman like Windy. She was Windy''s elder female


    cousin, but Windy and her daughter and son didn''t respect her!


    Windy talked to Nancy in front of everyone, "Nancy, my dear. Remember, if someone bullies you,


    you must tell me or your elder brother and grandpa. No matter what happens, we are always on


    your side. "


    Windy showed her partiality for Nancy directly.


    The middle-aged woman used to ask Windy to adopt her daughter Liz and regard Liz as Windy''s


    daughter. Windy thought it was a fool''s talk.


    When Nancy was missing, these so-called rtives morally threatened Windy to adopt Liz. It filled


    Windy with disgust. They assumed an elder-like countenance and tried to force Windy to do as they


    said. But they didn''t dare to do that in front of James and Marcus.


    Fortunately, Nancy was found and came back. Those rtives must get mad.


    After Nancy entered the living room, she found an olddy talking to her grandpa with a big smile on


    her face. But the Elderly Mr. Brook kept a straight face, which was different from Nancy''s impression


    of him.


    "Grandpa, I am back."


    Nancy said softly. The Elderly Mr. Brook immediately beamed with pleasure and was quite another


    person.


    The olddy wore fancy clothes. When she saw Nancy, a hint of disgust shed across her eyes.


    But she quickly assumed a warm and friendly smile.
