The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1507

Half of Wilfrid’s face displayed the stark imprint of a slap. His complexion turned ashen, and he fixed an intense gaze on his father as if seeing him clearly for the first time.

“Dad, do you see me as your son, or just as a tool that you can use and show off?” he asked, word by word, immediately leaving Nigel and Maggie utterly baffled.

Maggie quickly tried to mediate, “What are you saying? Apologize to your father, and don’t provoke him any further. Our family is already chaotic enough because of that w*nch-”

Before she could finish her sentence, Wilfrid couldn’t hold back any longer. He erupted, “Don’t call her that! Neera is the best person in the world, and the kindest to me. You have no right to insult her like this!”

Maggie was startled, then immediately scolded him with a frown, “What do you mean by ‘the person who treats you the best’? You ungrateful boy, why do you have to be like her, an ingrate?”

Wilfrid clenched his teeth, his words squeezing out between them, “Since I was little, it’s always been Neera taking care of me. Who among you ever cared for me? Neera woke up early to chop wood, light the fire, and cook. She took me to school, picked me up, and helped with my homework. When I was sick, it was my sister staying up all night by my bedside! And what about you? What have you been doing? Mom, what else besides playing mahjong? Dad, I’ve wondered why you’re always not at home. It turns out that you’ve been gambling with the money. After losing, you come home drunk, venting your anger on the family, either hitting or scolding my sister! What right do you have to scold her? Before, I thought you didn’t like Neera because it cost more money to raise two kids, but in the end, you still took her in, which showed you still had some kindness in your hearts. But now, it seems I was completely wrong. From the beginning to the end, you’ve been doing nothing but evil!”

“So, you’re an ingrate after all!” Nigel was seething with anger, his fist poised to strike.

Yet, Wilfrid firmly grasped his fist, his gaze icy. “Seeing how lively you are, your arm must be fine, right? Weren’t your deceiving everyone before, claiming you were seriously injured? So, you’ve been lying all along, fooling me, fooling Neera, and now you want to manipulate public opinion to force Neera into doing what you want and to slander her!”

Maggie found herself in an unexpected twist of events, growing extremely anxious. “Oh dear, all of you, stop this at once! What on earth is going on? Wilfrid, are you really going to take it this far with us, your parents, over a stranger?”

Wilfrid’s face remained icy cold, his eyes reflecting both pain and deep disappointment, with a hint of determination.

“I never intended to meddle in your affairs. Even after that disgraceful incident unfolded, Neera approached me, advising me not to get involved, not to let these matters impact me. But you, you exploited me as a pawn to confront her, tarnishing her reputation. I can’t endure it any longer, and I refuse to. Dad, Mom, if you’re ready to release a statement, extend apologies to Neera, apologize to the Beauvorts, there might be a chance for reconciliation. However, if you persist in making one mistake after another, then I can’t help you anymore.”

Nigel’s face contorted with anger as he shouted, “What do you mean by this? Are you threatening us? Threatening your own parents for a stranger? What kind of behavior is this? I’m warning you, Wilfrid Marrow, if you continue to side with that outsider, Neera, against your own family, don’t call me your father anymore! And don’t come back to this family!”

Wilfrid’s disappointment grew upon hearing his father’s words. Taking a deep breath, he remained resolute, stating. without hesitation, “Since you have no intention of changing your ways, then it’s fine if I don’t return to this home. From now on, I won’t take a single cent of your money. I will send you

money every month as a contribution to your retirement. If you miss me, you can come and visit. If not, there’s no need to seek me out.”

After expressing his decision, Wilfrid didn’t want to linger any longer. Turning around, he prepared to leave.

Both Maggie and Nigel were taken aback. They never expected him to be so resolute, leaving them dumbfounded.

Maggie hurriedly caught up and blocked his way. “Wilfrid, what are you doing? Is it really necessary? Over such a trivial matter, you’re going to cut ties with your family? Where’s your heart in all of this?”

Disappointed in them, Wilfrid didn’t want to waste more words. He simply stated, “I can’t stay in this family any longer.” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Upon hearing this, Nigel erupted in anger, “If he wants to leave, let him leave! Don’t stop him! I don’t know what kind of influence that w*nch has on him, making him want to sever ties with his own family, causing an irreparable rift. Now he’s wholeheartedly devoted to that w*nch, someone who disregards the poor and admires the rich. Consider it as if I never had this son!”

Maggie also started laying blame on Wilfrid. “So, you don’t respect us, your humble parents, just because Neera is wealthy, influential, and backed by the Beauvort family?”

Wilfrid’s face turned ashen when he heard this this, finding their reasoning increasingly irrational. Eventually, he chose to remain silent.

There was no point in wasting words on these two, whose minds seemed clouded. With unwavering determination, he walked away decisively.

Little did he know that after his departure, Maggie and Nigel’s audacious actions were far from over. They took the matter online, seemingly aiming for a final blow.

Their accusations lacked evidence, and they went on to blame Neera for damaging Wilfrid’s relationship with his parents, leading to Wilfrid severing ties with his family.

Surprisingly, this news didn’t garner sympathy from everyone; instead, it was met with a chorus of cheers.

“I applaud that wholeheartedly! Seems like the brother’s got some sense, not falling prey to his greedy and heartless parents!”

“Man, some parents are worse than having none at all. The brother’s so sensible; he must’ve been taken advantage of. Never thought he’d be used as a pawn by our own parents. Must be tough for him. On one side, there’s his own family, and on the other, there’s his sister with no blood ties. After all these years living together, who would’ve thought it’d end up like this?”

“I can’t help but laugh. I actually saw someone saying the younger brother despises poverty and loves wealth, and it’s all because he saw his sister’s power and influence that he broke off with his family. That’s too ridiculous, isn’t it? They’re really good at avoiding the important stuff and dwelling on the trivial. Can’t they see what his parents have done? Falsely accused their own daughter, abused her, like vampires sucking her blood. Each and every one of these things, any single one of them is outrageously unacceptable. And they still talk about despising poverty and loving wealth? These people can’t distinguish right from wrong, can they?”

“How satisfying! This couple needs to learn the meaning of regret for their past actions. The way they treated Ms. Neera, this punishment is well-deserved!”

“On a different note, has anyone else noticed how handsome the brother is?”

“Ah, finally someone brought it up! That photo, though blurry, can’t hide his tall and handsome figure! A young and handsome brother who is so sensible and understanding, that’s a big plus, right?”

“Hm, rumor has it that the brother is killing it academically, holding down the top spot in the entire school, leaving the second-place far, far behind. What’s going on in that brain of his? He’s good- looking, smart, and a real stand-up guy. Why can’t I have a brother like that? Seriously, the more I think about it, the more I want to cry!”

“Don’t cry. Even if you don’t have a brother like him, you can aim for a husband like that in the future. Wouldn’t that be even more awesome in life?”

“Come on, you’ve got to be exceptional to match up to him. In my book, this guy is the real deal, he’s definitely the cream of the crop among his peers. And on top of that, he’s good-looking and charming. The girl who can keep up with him must be something special…”

“Wake up, you guys! The more you talk, the more the story veers off course! That’s not the point, hey!”

Mon,
