The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1476

Auntie Zuniga was utterly astounded by the shamelessness of this couple.

Before she even had a chance to call the police, they were the ones who started issuing warnings.

Are they seriously playing the victim here? What a joke! Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She furrowed her brows, her words becoming less polite as she said, “Madam, allow me to remind you that this is Ms. Garcia’s house, so she is the homeowner. Therefore, there is only one master here, and that is Ms. Garcia. It’s not your place to command me, and my politeness towards you is simply out of respect for Ms. Garcia. Just now, Ms. Garcia also mentioned that I can call the police to escort you two out if you two refuse to leave. Since you’ve brought it up, let’s not waste any more of our time. We’ll call the police directly. When they arrive, you can state your case, and I’ll state mine. They will surely call Ms. Garcia to verify the facts. Regardless of what Ms. Garcia says and how the police decides to handle things, I won’t utter another word of complaint. What do you say?”

Sure enough, upon hearing that she was going to call the police, Maggie was taken aback and suddenly tensed up.

She had her doubts initially, but the moment she saw Auntie Zuniga reach for her phone to call the police, fear set in. She immediately moved to snatch the phone from her.

“What are you doing? Are you thinking of calling the police? Don’t even think about it!”

Auntie Zuniga quickly stepped back, shielding her phone behind her, and looked at her with a cold expression. “Didn’t you just tell me to call the police? Given how confidently you’re acting, I figured you must be pretty confident about winning the case.”

Maggie clenched her teeth, seething with rage.

Winning the case? I didn’t even dare call Neera myself! We thought that by letting this outsider make the call, Neera would feel somewhat pressured to maintain a facade in front of a stranger and thus, wouldn’t drive us away! Who would have thought this stubborn woman would insist on driving us away? If she calls the police, Neera would certainly not speak up for us. Who knows, we might even end up getting arrested!

The thought alone was enough to infuriate her to no end. Feeling at a loss for what to do next, she turned to look at Nigel.

Naturally, Nigel didn’t want to leave such a nice house either.

He threw a fit on the spot and yelled, “Stop trying to intimidate us here! Let me tell you, we are Neera’s adoptive parents! Even if this house is left empty, there’s no reason we can’t live in it! If you drive us out and outsiders find out, Neera will become a laughing stock! Who knows what people will say about Neera behind her back, then?”

Auntie Zuniga had long seen through their true colors and was quite disgusted. She frowned and retorted immediately, “If you truly consider Ms. Garcia as your own daughter and genuinely care for her, you shouldn’t be causing a scene here, let alone pushing her into the spotlight for others to gossip about. Instead of discussing these irrelevant matters with me, you’d better hurry back, or you’ll miss the bus back to the countryside. If you wish to move in, go back and have a proper conversation with Ms. Garcia. I’ll repeat what I said before. If Ms. Garcia agrees to have you two move in, I’ll make sure to take good care of you, just as I would take care of her.”

10:34 Fri, 8 Dec D R

After she finished speaking, she strode to the entrance, opened the door, and pointed at the doorway, saying, “Now, without Ms. Garcia’s permission, you two cannot stay here. Please leave quickly and

don’t make things any more difficult for this housekeeper.”

Nigel and Maggie locked eyes, both seeing a sense of unwillingness in each other’s gaze.

But they were indeed scared. If Auntie Zuniga really brought the police, that would be trouble for them.

With that in mind, the two gritted their teeth and decided to leave for the moment.

Before leaving, Maggie shot Auntie Zuniga a fierce glare and said, “You short-sighted fool! Sooner or later, I’ll make sure Neera kicks you out!”

Auntie Zuniga remained unfazed. “Suit yourself. If you can make it happen, that is.”

After that, she sternly escorted the two out of the mansion, locked the front gate of the courtyard, and returned to the mansion. The heavy front door closed behind her, blocking the view from afar.

Although she wasn’t sure about the past between her adoptive parents and Neera, judging by the couple’s demeanor, it was clear they were not good people.

She had been working here for such a long time, and yet, she had never seen this couple visit Neera, nor had she heard Neera mention them. It was clear that they were either distant relatives or even on bad terms with each other.

As such, her first instinct was to ask them to leave. After consulting with Neera, she became even more certain that these adoptive parents were here to take advantage of them.

They think they can take advantage of Ms. Garcia? Dream on!

Outside the mansion, Nigel and Maggie hadn’t left. They were staring at this exquisite and grand mansion, their hearts and eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

Nigel was so angry that he spat fiercely on the ground.

“This wretch is living in such a grand house, and yet, she won’t even spare a dime for us! Now, it’s just sitting there empty, and she doesn’t even let us move in! It’s true what they say, the richer they are, the stingier they become!”

“Exactly!” Maggie also complained wholeheartedly.

“Even the last time you were hospitalized, she paid the hospital directly instead of giving us the money. We really raised this ungrateful wretch for nothing! We might as well have let her starve to death back then! We’ve been too kind to her!”

She suddenly let out a cold chuckle, her face full of ill-intent as she continued, “But that’s okay, sooner or later she’ll have to respectfully invite us in! Since she doesn’t know to be grateful, we have plenty of ways to teach her a lesson! Even if she has fled abroad now, we can still deal with her!”

Nigel understood what she meant and sneered as well. “Indeed! A person can’t run away forever! There are so many things here that are connected to her!”

After some thought, Maggie spoke again, “However, this cunning wretch is quite sharp, so we need to be on our toes. First, we need to find something to hold against her. Otherwise, she could turn the tables on us, and we’ll end up on the defensive.”

Neera, on the other hand, didn’t take this matter seriously, but Maggie kept calling her.

She didn’t want to answer at first, but seeing Maggie persistently calling, she took a deep breath and finally picked up.

She took the initiative, her tone icy cold as she asked, “What else do you want from me?”

Over there, Maggie was sobbing, as if she was feeling very wronged.

“Neera, your housekeeper wouldn’t let us stay no matter what. She drove us out, and now we have nowhere to go. We don’t have much money either. You know, your father was hospitalized recently, and I spent a lot of our savings to help him recover after he was discharged. Now, we’re out of options, so we came to you. But you’re not here, and that housekeeper, taking advantage of her position, claimed that you didn’t want to let us stay. We have no other options now, so we ended up on the streets. We didn’t want to trouble you, but we really have no other way out, that’s why we’re calling you. Do you really despise us that much? I know that your father and I are country folks, far from your status and position. You’re a rich young lady with a wealthy husband, so it’s understandable if you don’t want to be associated with parents like us. It’s just—”

Upon hearing her say these words, Neera was immediately annoyed and cut her off coldly, “Don’t you think it’s quite meaningless to be saying all this?”
