"Back then, Mr. and Mrs. Everheart passed away. Even Master Everheart left the world soon after. Meanwhile, you married into the Hunt family. Everheart Manor became empty, and many people had their eyes on it. They made away with everything they could. They''d even move the floor if they could."
"I fought and guarded this ce for you but got hurt. Oftentimes, before my wound could heal, new ones would appear. Thest time I met a couple of vicious ones who beat me till I passed out. They dragged me to the graveyard and buried me."
Margaret’s words shocked Renee. She clenched her fists tightly in anger. "Margaret, you’ve suffered so much. Don’t worry. I will avenge you. I will find every single person who hurt you!"
"Ms. Ren, don’t be angry. All my suffering is worth it, now that I see you."
The two women couldn’t help but hug each other and cry. Through the shower of tears, they released all the suffering they had endured over the past four years.
"How did you escape?" Renee wiped her tears away and asked curiously.
"I was fortunate enough to meet a kind-hearted person. He dug me out from the ground, and I survived."
As Margaret thought about thest, her eyes were filled with fear and thankfulness.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"The identity of the person who saved me is very mysterious. He said that a mysterious big shot gave him orders on what to do and requested that I disappear from Beach City."
"Mysterious big shot?"
Renee frowned.
After all, in such a critical situation, the whole world would be eager to destroy them. She wondered who would be kind enough to help them at such a time.
"I’m not sure either, but I want to repay them for saving my life!"
Margaret added, "Could it be Mr. Hunt? Only the Hunts would dare to help the Everhearts at that point. You’re his wife, and he knows that I’m your nanny. He didn’t want you to be sad, so he helped me."
"Impossible!" Renee said confidently, "He doesn’t have any feelings for me. He went abroad after our wedding. When I was in aa for half a month, not once did he ask or care about me. He wouldn’t save you."
Before this, she loved him with all her heart and didn’t feel his indifference hard to ept.
But now, as she recalled about it, she felt that she''d been too petty and that it wasn’t worth it after all.
Margaret looked at Renee and felt sorry for the girl. "Ms. Ren, I didn’t know you had such a terrible experience in the Hunt family. Mr. Hunt treated you with malice. There’s no point in a marriage if there’s no love. It’s good that you divorced him."
When Margaret heard about the divorce between Renee and Stefan, she was worried, but now it seemed that the divorce was a freedom for Renee.
"Yes. I think it’s good that we divorce. I want to thank him for making me realize that and regain my freedom!"
Renee didn’t want to talk about Stefan anymore, so she continued asking Margaret, "Margaret, how did you live alone these few years? Why didn’t you contact me?"
"After I was saved, I did as my savior said and went away. I didn’t want to put you in trouble, so I didn’t contact you. But I really couldn’t leave Everheart Manor behind, so I sneaked back and hid in the basement, pretending to be a ghost to scare the ill-intended.
"This trick turned out well, because, in thest few years, nobody dared toe near Everheart Manor. Even the neighbors moved out."
At the mention of this, Margaret kneeled down on the floor. "Mr. and Mrs. Everheart and Master Everheart, do you see this? I did it. I managed to guard Everheart Manor until the return of its rightful owner!"
Margaret’s loyalty to their family touched Renee’s heart. Tears pooled around her eyes as she said, "Margaret, thank you. If it weren’t for you, the Everhearts would be no more."
"No. I’m useless. I couldn’t stop Mr. and Mrs. Everheart from…"
Guilt was written all over her face, and she didn’t dare to think of the past.
She was there to witness it happen, and it was brutal.
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Renee. "Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Everheart left a legacy document and asked me to give it to you."
