Abigail had asked them to leave. As a result, both of them stood there motionlessly like two statues. They could not open the door if they did not move.
"I've already told you to leave. Why are you still standing here?" She asked.
Jarold coughed lightly and Baldrick finally reacted. He stepped forward and explained with a smile.
"Miss Abigail, we tried calling Mr. Sebastian by phone, but he didn't answer his phone at all. Old Master and I were worried about him since today is New Year's Eve, so we came over to see him."
Upon hearing this, Abigail raised her eyebrows and asked, "And then?"
Baldrick chuckled.
"What Master Collins means is that as long as we see that Mr. Sebastian alright, he will leave."
"Tsk!" She scoffed, "What if you can't meet with him? Are you going to stay here if you can't meet with him?"
Jarold replied, "I'm just waiting here for Sebastian to come back. What's wrong with that?"
Abigail still wanted to say something, but Minerva sensed something. She quickly stopped Abigail and took the initiative to step forward.
"No problem. Grandpa, please come in," Minerva said while opening the door.
When he finally heard something pleasant, Jarold snorted haughtily, "At least you know what's good for you."
Minerva felt helpless in her heart. She stepped forward to open the door and let Jarold and Baldrick enter. Vera also snuck in. Minerva noticed that Abigail was still standing at the door with a displeased expression.
"Auntie Stark?"
"Why did you let him go inside? It's New Year's Eve today. Aren't we looking for trouble if we let him stay here?"
"Auntie Stark, don't be angry." Minerva took her hand and said softly, "You also know that it's New Year's Eve today. He'll be very lonely staying inside a large house."
Upon hearing this, Abigail was shocked. According to Minerva's words, she could imagine Jarold alone in the grand house. There were all sorts of dishes placed in front of him, but there was not a single person beside him whom he could talk to.
This scene was indeed rather pitiful.
However, if it was Jarold, Abigail wouldn't think that he was pitiful. He was hateful.
After all, a pitiful person must have a hateful side.
He had become so pitiful because of his own actions. If he had not done those things in the past, she and her sister would not have left home.
When she thought of Aurora, Abigail's face became gloomy. She was in a bad mood, so she lowered her eyes and answered coldly.
"What's so pitiful about him? My sister is even more pitiful under the cold ground."
"Her sister..." Minerva was stunned.
Abigail must be referring to Maddox's mother, Aurora Stark.
Furthermore, when Aurora was mentioned, Abigail's aura immediately became different. Minerva did not dare to say anything and could only explain in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Auntie Stark. I didn't mean to let him in. I just feel that... there is always a blood connection between family members."
Upon hearing Minerva blame herself, Abigail came back to her senses.
"Forget it, let's just leave it like this," she remarked.
She walked in, and Minerva followed her after standing in the same spot for a while.
