The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1484

Maggie was also getting anxious. She raised her voice and yelled, “You little brat, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll… I’ll tear your mouth apart! Who stole your bracelet? I’ve never even seen it! You’re just a spoiled brat, learning to be as bad as your mother at such a young age! None of you are any-Ah!”

She was in the middle of her rant when suddenly, a slap came flying. It hit her so hard that her face was knocked askew. She was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

The stern and cold voice of Wrenn rang out.

“If you dare to slander my family or utter a single word against my grandchildren, I will smash your face right now! You dare to make a racket in my house? I’ll make sure you can’t get away with it!”

Maggie didn’t expect her to strike. She covered her face, her expression twisted in shock. “You actually hit me…”

“You got a problem with that? You’re old enough, yet you behave like a child.”

Wrenn’s aura was so cold that even the air around seemed to solidify.

Nigel gritted his teeth, supporting Maggie, ready to have her back.

“Is this how the Beauvort family behaves, using their power to bully others? Is this how you treat those who have shown you kindness? Aren’t you afraid that such actions will tarnish the reputation of your family?”

Wrenn sneered, looking down on the two of them with an air of arrogance, her eyes full of contempt.

“Kindness? You really have the nerve to praise yourselves: Do you think I’m a fool, unaware of how you treated Neera? I was only polite to you before because of Neera.”

Nigel’s face turned ashen. He roared, “Even if you look down on us, you should speak and act with evidence! You can’t just run your mouths and try to smear us with your lies. Bring out the evidence, show us the surveillance footage, and prove that we really stole your things!”

The small fist hanging by Harvey’s side was clenched tightly. His little face was shrouded in gloom. Suddenly, he spoke, word by word. “Penny saw you. She came out of the study to go to the bathroom and saw you sneaking out of our room. When she went back, she realized her bracelet was gone. So, it must have been you who stole it.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

With gritted teeth, Maggie denied, “Stop talking nonsense! Just because she said she saw it, does it mean she really did? I’d say she’s lying! She’s just making things up. Maybe even the lost bracelet is a hoax! Even if her bracelet is really lost, it could have been stolen by someone else. It’s not like we’re the only two in this house. There are several servants and a butler. It could very well be them who took it away!”

Harvey’s eyes were cold. “Penny would never lie or deceive anyone! The servants and the butler in this house are also good people. They couldn’t possibly steal anything!”

Maggie retorted sharply, “Who cares if they are good people or not? You’re just deliberately trying to defame me! I will never admit it, not unless you provide evidence!”

Sammy was so angry that his small chest heaved up and down. He wished he could rush forward and knock them down. “It’s all because you wouldn’t let us in! Penny wanted to go look for it, but you just wouldn’t allow it! You even laid hands on Penny!”

Maggie retorted, “That’s my room. Why should I let you in? What if you try to frame me, deliberately leaving a bracelet in my room and then accusing me of theft? How would I defend myself?”

“Since when did the guest room become

your room?”

Wrenn finally understood the situation. Her brows were furrowed with intense disgust, and her was face filled with anger.

“You’re living in the Beauvort family’s house, lying in the Beauvort family’s bed, eating the Beauvort family’s food, and drinking the Beauvort family’s water. When did Beauvort Manor become yours?”

“I…” Maggie gritted her teeth. “I was just speaking off the cuff. I’m not trying to monopolize anything. Why are you so overly sensitive? You’re being too petty.’

Wrenn stared at her coldly. “Since it’s not your house, step aside! I’m searching my own territory. I don’t need anyone’s consent or permission!”

Seeing her take a tough stance, Maggie immediately became flustered, her nervousness visibly apparent. She remained standing in the hallway, refusing to step aside.

“Even if this is your home, the guest room is given to us to stay in. Don’t we have our own privacy while we’re staying here? It’s downright insulting that you casually enter the room we’re staying in and even search through our things.”

Wrenn sneered, “Well, whether it’s insulting or not, a search will reveal the truth! You’re stopping me from searching. Could it be that you have something to hide?”

“Who’s hiding something? Stop spouting nonsense!” Maggie lifted her head, but she just wouldn’t give way. “Even if we are poor, we still have our dignity. Don’t think that just because you have power and influence, you can do whatever you want and walk all over us!”

Wrenn’s eyes were filled with contempt.

“If you insist you haven’t stolen anything, then you have nothing to fear. There’s no need to be so wary of us searching. Here’s what we’ll do: I won’t conduct the search myself. To ensure fairness, I’ll have a servant do it in front of everyone. If nothing is found, I’ll apologize to you. You can then make any demand you wish. Whatever you ask for, no matter what it is, I’ll fulfill it. How does that sound?”

Maggie and Nigel exchanged glances, their faces clearly showing some hesitation.

Wrenn had no patience to wait for their response. “Well? Have you decided yet? I’ve always been a person who prefers diplomacy before resorting to violence. I’ve already told you the best way to handle this. If you refuse, don’t blame me for being impolite. After all, this is my house. I’ve allowed you to stay here temporarily, which is already giving you enough respect. Now, if I want to search the guest rooms in my own house, no one can say anything about it even if this gets out.”

Maggie’s face turned slightly pale, She gritted her teeth, reluctantly stepping aside.

Wrenn lowered her head to look at Penny, gently caressed her little face, and comforted, “Don’t worry. I will help you find it back.”

Penny took a deep sniff, nodded heavily, and followed her closely.

The other two little ones also followed them into the guest room.

Wrenn called for a servant, instructing her to thoroughly search the guest room and not miss any

corner.

The servant immediately sprang into action.

They stood on one side of the room, all watching the servant rummage through the cabinets.

During this time, Wrenn observed Maggie’s and Nigel’s expressions without a hint of emotion. She noticed that despite their best efforts to maintain a calm facade, their tightly clenched hands and their constantly shifting gazes revealed their current state of tension.

She firmly believed that Penny would never lie. Now, she was even more certain. Without a doubt, it was these two who had stolen Penny’s bracelet.
