qJust like an angry lion, Jamie held up his fist and stared daggers at Nancy. “You evil woman. This is my home. I won't allow you to chase my mommy out!”
“Mr. Spencer, why did you help outsiders bully my mommy?” Running up to Spencer, Ellie held his hand and questioned him while crying. “You have always loved us. How could you do this?”
“Be a good girl, Ellie. Don't cry.” Spencer quickly wiped the tears off her face.
Approaching Nancy calmly, Robbie asked, “Ms. Gold, I presume?”
He conducted himself with the utmost politeness, but there was a fearsome and intimidating air to his voice.
“Thank you for bringing the doctor to treat my daddy. As for the expenses, I will have my people pay you back manyfold. Once my daddy has recovered, our whole family will visit you to express our gratitude. But for now, please apologize to my mommy!”
“Uhm...”
Nancy was stunned by the sight of the children. When she regained her senses, she frantically explained with a smile, “Kids, I didn't bully your mommy. It's just that your daddy is undergoing treatment now. The doctor says he needs peace, but your mom has been causing a ruckus. Hence, I simply requested for her to go out—”
“This is my home,” Robbie interrupted her. He then declared haughtily, “An outsider has no right to call the shots here!”
“You...” Nancy's beautiful face crimsoned as she choked with fury.
“Besides, my mommy has always been gentle and well-mannered. She never kicks up a fuss. So, how could it be her that's noisy?” the boy retorted steadily. “Even if someone is causing a scene, she would be the last one to do so!”
His comments were aimed at Spencer.
Color flooded Spencer's face, but he dared not utter a word. Back when Henry was still around, Robbie was his favorite great-grandson. Henry even commented that the boy was a genius, so no one dared to challenge him.
Having been rebuked by Robbie, Nancy wanted to retort but realized she did not have a strong case for defending herself. Moreover, with everyone in the house looking at her, she was fully aware that continuing arguing with a kid would not look good on her.
Hence, it was the smarter choice for her to make concessions. Lowering her head, she apologized to Charlotte, “Ms. Lindberg, I'm sorry for my inappropriate words just now. I was just caught up in my desperation to save Mr. Nacht. Hence, I hope you will forgive me.”
She found a good excuse by blaming it on her desperation to treat Zachary.
