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.”
Finishing her words, she turned to leave.
Theresa pulled her suitcase and walked over, “Grandma, please take care of yourself.”
“Theresa.” Mrs. Leslie tugged at her, not knowing what else to say to make her stay. She glared at
Armand, disappointed in him.
“Theresa, there is really nothing going on between me and her, please believe me…”
Armand tugged at her, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I didn’t consider your feelings, please don’t leave
alright?”
Theresa turned to look at him, “It’s not your fault, the fault is with me, I shouldn’t have agreed to try it
out with you. You already had someone else in your heart, you should have told me. It’s me who is too
stupid, agreeing too easily to you. This is a detour I have to make, a hardship I have to endure, I can’t
avoid it.”
“Theresa.” Mrs. Leslie was very anxious. Once she leaves, would she come back?
She couldn’t let Theresa leave.
Mrs. Leslie’s body wobbled, her eyes rolled over, and she passed out.
“Grandma.” Luckily Armand was near her, he quickly caught her in his arms.
“What’s happening.” Theresa also had a fright, why did she suddenly pass out?
Without a second word, Armand pinched her philtrum. Mrs. Leslie had purposedly pretended to pass
out, so as to make Theresa stay, but who would have thought that Armand would be so heavy on his
hands, and she frowned in pain.
Pretending that she was very weak, she opened her eyes, “Armand, will I… Will I not make it?”
Seeing Mrs. Leslie wake up, Armand was so anxious that he was speaking gibberish, “No, no, you will
live to a hundred years.”
“I am almost angered to death by you, how would I live to a hundred years?”
Mrs. Leslie pulled at Theresa’s hands, “Theresa, if you leave, I don’t think I can live anymore.”
“Grandma what are you talking about…”
Mrs. Leslie suddenly clutched Armand’s thighs, why was this person so slow?
Armand’s words got stuck in his throat. Looking at Mrs. Leslie’s rosy complexion, it didn’t look like she
was ill at all. Could she be acting?
So as to make Theresa stay?
Theresa looked at Armand, “It’s better if we send her to the hospital. Grandma is already old, with this
sudden passing out, it’s better if we get her checked.”
“I don’t want to go for a check.” Mrs. Leslie refused, and she clutched Theresa’s hand, “I just want you
to keep me company.”
Theresa pursed her lips, without agreeing, “Armand can accompany you.”
She shook away Mrs. Leslie’s hand.
“Theresa.” Armand clutched her wrist, “Are you really so heartless?”
“If I don’t cut it off now, it would come back to haunt me in the future. Armand, you should know it better
than I do, I’m not like you, I don’t have a sensitive heart.” Theresa pulled her suitcase over, and walked
towards the door.
Mrs. Leslie hit Armand furiously, making him think of ways to make Theresa stay.
Theresa was very firm about leaving. With only words alone, it wasn’t enough to convince her.
Suddenly, Armand hugged Mrs. Leslie’s head, “Grandma, why did you pass out again, quick wake up.”
Mrs. Leslie couldn’t react in time, she was dumbfounded for a moment. Armand’s head lowered down
and gave her a hint, asking her to continue acting.
Hearing that Grandma had passed out once again, Theresa indeed stopped in her tracks. But when
she turned around, she realized something was wrong. If something was really wrong with Mrs. Leslie,
it was impossible that Armand would only be there hugging her, and not send her to the hospital.
“Armand, is it useful to play such childish tricks?” Her tone was indifferent.
“Why has nanny fainted.” Armand said stiffly.
In his heart he thought, had she found out?
“If she had fainted, shouldn’t you send her to the hospital?”
