Chapter 152 Malicious Intentions

Charlotte pointed to the adjacent room and said, "Have I tidied up this storage room? I want my own room, so hurry up and clean it now." Hearing Charlotte's commanding tone made her feel very uncomfortable. The woman was about to say something when she saw Luna following behind him. She had no choice but to obediently shut her mouth and start cleaning. At this moment, Delis also followed up, saying, "Madam, there's no need to get angry over someone like this." Charlotte coldly replied, "I'm not angry. Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go downstairs and have something first." It took the woman over an hour to thoroughly clean the room. And she even restored it to the way it was before Charlotte left home. Charlotte looked around satisfiedly and said, "Not bad. If you go to someone else's house, you can't speak like this anymore. Consider this a piece of advice from me." "No need for your concern," the woman said bluntly, with a hint of a cold smile on her lips as she turned away. Luna said indifferently, "Auntie, don't let your servant leave yet. Delis, go in and check again." "Yes, sir." Since the last incident, Luna had been extremely cautious about everything around him, afraid that he might harm her if he wasn't careful. Maritina had initially prepared this room for her daughter after Charlotte got married. Because Charlotte's room was larger, and since no one was living there, she didn't want to inconvenience her daughter. "Auntie, I'll stay here tonight. When my sister comes back, you won't secretly change it back, will you?" Even if Maritina had such thoughts, she didn't dare to act on them. "No, this is your home. You can come back whenever you want." Charlotte nodded. "Thank you, Auntie." After a while, Delis found several needles on the bed and came out of the room with a grim expression. She handed the things she found on the bed to Luna. "Sir, you were fortunate to call me over today. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to find these small things." Luna said coldly, "Bring that woman here!" Maritina saw what Luna was holding and instantly became breathless. She admitted that she had been relatively tolerant of this woman before. But she never asked her to do such a thing. How could she not have noticed her malicious intentions before? Charlotte was also startled. If those needles had pierced her body, she wouldn't have been able to rest peacefully tonight. She would probably have spent the night in the hospital. Charlotte couldn't help but say, "Can you really trust such a person to stay in the house?" Maritina looked at her tremblingly. "I really didn't know she was like this. This woman's heart is too malicious!" Luna snorted coldly. "Next time we hire a servant, please keep your eyes open, Madam." After tonight's incident, they didn't feel like staying here anymore. They would handle their own family matters themselves. Charlotte didn't insist on staying here. She just wanted to take this opportunity to get Maritina to change the room back for her. She didn't like it when someone touched her things without permission. After all, she had lived in this house for over 20 years. Why should her stepmother have the final say? Luna picked up his daughter and held his son's hand, then said decisively to Charlotte, "It seems tonight hasn't gone smoothly. I can't let my wife and children stay in such a room. Since we've finished eating, let's go back tonight." Bill had been playing with the children downstairs and didn't know what had happened upstairs. Maritina briefly explained the situation to Bill, but he unexpectedly raised his hand and slapped her without mercy. "Even at this point, you still want to harm me, don't you?" Maritina looked at Bill incredulously. "I didn't do this. Why do you suspect me?" Bill furrowed his brow. "Who else could it be but you? You've always disliked my daughter since she was young. If it weren't for you poisoning her against my daughter, how could her relationship with my daughter have become so bad?" Maritina looked at him inexplicably. She had intentionally done so before, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this. All the things that hurt his daughter were done by himself, but now he wanted to blame all of this on her. Maritina collapsed to the ground after being slapped by him, saying in a low voice, "I know I was wrong, but I really didn't do this." Bill took a deep breath and looked at her, the corners of his mouth curling up into a faint smile. "Alright, let's not think about this for now. Let's go back first and deal with that woman. Don't let her step into our house again." Maritina's voice was calm. "I understand. I'll let her go later." Maritina suddenly remembered something and said cautiously, "Are Charlotte and her family planning to let us off the hook?" Bill nodded. "If we don't retaliate against them, such incidents won't happen again. Tell your daughter not to do anything stupid!"
