Stefan remained calm and completely unruffled. He eyed Margaret up and down with a cold gaze that bathed him with an oppressive aura.
“Are you… Renee’s nanny?”
He had an inkling of a memory of what Margaret was like. He remembered how Margaret used to like matching him up with Renee in the past. He wondered why she would suddenly change so dramatically and become so hostile to him that she even wanted to chase him away with a knife.
Margaret’s eyes oozed with animosity towards Stefan. She glared viciously at him, and with a kitchen knife in her hand, she sarcastically taunted, “I can’t believe the noble and haughty Mr. Stefan Hunt would remember an old woman like me! Well, in that case, you must know full well that there is a mortal grudge between us. What gave you the audacity to step into this house yourself? Are you plotting something evil?”
“I’ll give you three seconds,” she continued. “Get out of this house, or I’ll give you a taste of my kitchen knife!”
Margaret feared that Stefan had come with sinister intentions to hurt Renee again, or perhaps he was scheming to do something to the twins, so she made up her mind: she’d chase the man away or die trying!
Stefan put his hands in his pockets, perfectly calm and composed, but a cold sneer cropped up on his lips as he commented, “What a loyal servant. Did Renee teach you how to do this?”
“I’m old enough to have one foot in death’s door,” she replied. “I don’t need anyone to teach me anything. You know full well about the horrible things you’ve done to Miss Renee. You’re lucky that she never sought revenge due to her high moral standards, but I’m not like her. I’m just a lowly servant with
no proper upbringing, so if you force my hand, I will not hesitate to attack you because I’ve got nothing to lose!”
“Didn’t you hear me?!” she repeated. “I said, get out of this house!”
Margaret was brandishing the kitchen knife like a hysterical woman, and the situation was getting more and more dramatic.
But Stefan was unaffected by it at all. His gaze shifted toward the basket of tomatoes, and he calmly said, “I’m here because my grandfather ordered me to send this to you. Now that the thing’s been delivered, I’ll leave right away.”
“We don’t want it!” said Margaret. Although she was just a humble servant, she was still full of pride. She looked at the basket of tomatoes and was reminded of all the hardship and misfortune Renee had to endure. To her, it seemed that these tomatoes were what the Hunt family sent as an insult to Renee.
“Take this garbage back with you!” Margaret told Stefan. “After all you’ve put Miss Renee through, and all you could think of was to send her these rotten tomatoes?! What do you take Miss Renee for? What does your family take Miss Renee for? What an abominable family!”
“Renee picked these tomatoes herself,” replied Stefan. “If you don’t want it, then let her throw them away herself.”
Once he finished his sentence, he got up and was ready to leave.
Just then, Adie and Abby, who had been eavesdropping at the door, rushed out of the study.
“You can’t let Uncle Handsome leave, Aunt Margaret! Adie and I still want to play with him!”
Abby clung onto one of Stefan’s long legs and raised her sweet and adorable little face towards him, charmingly cooing, “You promised you’d stay and play with us, Uncle Handsome! Why are you leaving now? Don’t you know that your nose will grow very long when you lie?”
Margaret panicked and hastily pulled Abby away from Stefan and put her down behind her before sternly warning the girl, “That man is an evil demon, Abby! We must stay away from him, or else he will turn into a big gray wolf and eat you up, and you’ll never get to see Mommy again!”
All this time, Margaret would do anything not to let Stefan Hunt discover the existence of the twins, but in the end, it seemed that he had already found out about it. Still, judging from the Hunt family’s power and capabilities to obtain information, she surmised that perhaps they had found out about the twins and concocted a silly excuse to visit them.
In that case, it probably did not matter how hard they tried to conceal the existence of the twins from the world because, in the end, they would still end up learning the truth anyway. Now that it was pointless to hide the truth, all Margaret could do was urge the twins to be wary of Stefan Hunt.
