The servant had already woken up, but seeing that there was an argument, as a servant, she didn’t dare to speak up.
Hearing the doorbell ring, she went over to open the door. In her mouth she was mumbling, “Early in the morning, who could it be?”
Opening the door, Phoebe was standing outside.
The servant didn’t know Phoebe, asking, “Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Armand.” Phoebe smiled.
The servant turned over to look at Armand, “A lady here is looking for you.”
Mrs. Leslie was quick to react, she let go of Theresa’s hand and walked over. Seeing that it was Phoebe, her face immediately changed. She said fiercely, “What are you doing here?”
At this moment, Phoebe saw Armand and Theresa who were standing by the door, as well as the suitcase that was hidden behind Armand. She thought to herself, was Theresa leaving?
She smiled, as if she hadn’t seen Mrs. Leslie’s ugly expression, “Grandma I’m here to see Armand.”
“Who’s your Grandma!” Mrs. Leslie was not the least bit polite to her. In the past, before Armand became wealthy, he was dating her, and he hadn’t had such a nice house.
When Armand brought her back, she was even a little disdainful.
She later dumped him, making him so devastated. Therefore, Mrs. Leslie didn’t have a good impression of her, she always had a feeling that she was a gold-digger. She didn’t even know why she had left in the past.
The purpose of her coming was to add salt to injury. Only if Theresa left, then she can enter. She intentionally spoke louder, “I came to return Armand something. Last night, he left his watch at my place.”
Speaking of this, she took out the watch.
Mrs. Leslie took a look. Indeed, it belonged to Armand.
“You, what are you talking about? Armand left it at your place?” Mrs. Leslie looked as if she was thunderstruck. She was unbelievable, “He was with you last night?”
“Yes…” Phoebe looked at Theresa, “Don’t misunderstand, even though we were together, but nothing happened.”
Theresa turned her body, not wanting to look at her, and said softly, “I didn’t misunderstand, I don’t need your explanation Ms. Lewis.”
Armand walked over, and said deeply, “Who said you can come over, didn’t you say you would never appear in front of me…”
“I came to pass you your watch.” Phoebe quickly cut him off.
When they were having an argument yesterday, she had intentionally taken it off his wrist. He was in a rage then, hence he hadn’t noticed that his watch had been taken off.
Armand took it from her, and said, “Go back.”
Phoebe looked at him, “I really don’t have to explain to her on behalf of you?”
“No need for that.” Armand was huffing in anger. If not for her, why would Theresa misunderstand. Now she had even come over, it would only deepen Theresa’s misunderstanding.
Her explanation would only make things worse.
Phoebe took a look at Theresa, and gave a cold laugh in her heart, thinking, ‘I’ll see whether she leaves this time round’.
“If you need me to explain anything, just let me know…”
“Please leave quickly, and do not come over anymore!” Mrs. Leslie was angry, hating this woman to the core. If not for her, Armand wouldn’t have a misunderstanding with Theresa.
Hold on, Armand was with her last night?
Her heart trembled. No wonder Theresa was so angry. If this happened on her, she would definitely be angry too.
Mrs. Leslie grabbed the watch from Armand’s hand, and threw it outside, “Throw this away, why do you still want it!”
Mrs. Leslie turned her gaze to Phoebe, “And you! It was you who dumped Armand in the past, why are you here harassing him now? Do you not have a tinge of shame?”
“Grandma, I…”
“I am not your Grandma, please leave.” Grandma was so angry that she was shaking.
Phoebe took a look at Armand, and then another look at Theresa. She secretly raised her lips, but on the surface, she pretended as if she was feeling terrible, “Then I’ll leave first. I hope all of you will be fine, don’t argue because of me.”
