Chapter 55 A Mean Old Woman
The middle-aged man and his wife carried his insensible mother to leave quickly.
Windy lifted the rolling pin in her hand, "Remember to return the money that my husband and son lent to you. By the way, I hold the purse strings in my house. So you should return the money to me!"
Hearing Windy's words, the couple stumbled and ran faster. They didn't even realize that their two daughters didn't catch up.
Ferdinand, their son, was the first one to run away. He was spoiled by the whole family, especially by his grandma. But now, he didn't even manage to help them. Instead, he complained about his grandma for annoying Marcus. Otherwise, they would not be given the bum's rush from the Brook's villa.
Yvonne stood still and didn't want to leave. She was even more envious of Nancy. Marcus was angry just because Nancy was cursed. It was the first time Yvonne saw such an angry Marcus. Marcus would protect his younger sister without hesitation.
Why? Why not me? I really want to have such a good brother, she thought.
Yvonne bit her lip angrily. Yvonne felt it annoying to hear Liz crying and didn't comfort her.
Marcus waved his hand expressionlessly. Philip, who was standing at the gate, came over.
"Mr. Brook."
"Send Liz and Yvonne out."
Yvonne didn't want to leave, but Marcus also didn't want her to stay here.
Hearing Marcus' words, Yvonne's face turned pale. Yvonne knew Marcus didn't care about her at all.
"Miss Brook, please."
Philip asked Yvonne to leave with a smile.
Yvonne forced a smile and picked up Liz, who was sitting on the ground crying. Yvonne said in a trembling voice as if she was about to cry.
"I'm sorry, Marcus. I will persuade my grandma and father. Don't get angry, okay? They didn't mean to irritate you. My grandma always speaks without thinking, and I will try my best to correct her bad habits."
Admittedly, Yvonne was the smartest one in her family. But she still could not compare with Marcus, who got used to all kinds of schemes and plots in doing business.
Windy looked at Yvonne and pouted to show her displeasure. As Windy expected, Yvonne was up to no good.
Marcus directly ignored Yvonne and walked up to Nancy. He touched Nancy's ears tenderly.
"Are you scared?"
Nancy sat on her grandfather's lap and looked at Marcus with her beautiful eyes. She threw her arms around Marcus' neck and was picked up into his arms. Nancy rubbed her fluffy hair against Marcus's chest.
"No."
Nancy stuck her face into Marcus's face and said softly.
"I am not scared. I know you will protect me. All of you."
Nancy felt happy because she was protected by her family.
"Miss Brook, please leave here."
The smile on Philip's face disappeared and he got tough with Yvonne.
