No need.” With a cold tone, Quintin rejected her mercilessly. “I want to rest now. Get out of my sight!”

Upon saying that, Quintin covered his face with his blanket, unwilling to talk anymore.

Savannah almost burst into tears after getting shouted at by him. Carmen had no choice but to bring her out. They walked downstairs, and Carmen comforted Savannah, “Sav, don’t be sad. You know how his temper is. He’s in a bad mood. Let’s come see him again after his mood improves!”

“Carmen. Quintin is already awake, so we don’t need to boost luck anymore. Can you arrange for me to stay here and take care of him? Don’t let an outsider stay here. I feel uneasy to see that!” As Savannah spoke, she shifted her Caroline, who was in the living room. She didn’t know why, but she felt upset when she saw the latter.

‘I got it. Don’t worry!” Carmen replied.

gaze toward

As they walked past the living room, they halted their feet. With an overpowering aura like a female owner, Carmen said to Caroline, “Ms. Lewis, thank you for coming here to boost the Ziegler residence’s luck. As you can see, Quintin has improved much. Thus, I hope you can propose to Mrs. Ziegler for you to leave the Ziegler residencel”

Undoubtedly, they still didn’t know that Catherine had secretly helped Caroline and Quintin get a marriage certificate.

Looking back at Carmen, Caroline sneered. “Ms. Carmen, I’m only here for one day. I should probably complete my task properly and at least wait until Mr. Ziegler recovers completely.”

Savannah felt Caroline was finding an excuse to stay in the Ziegler residence. “Ms. Lewis, right? The Ziegler residence is a noble family. I know what your purpose is. You want to marry into the Ziegler family via Quintin, right?”

Just then, Caroline’s lips curled into a cold smile. “I know the Ziegler family is noble. However, the Lewis residence doesn’t pale in comparison as well. My father is a business tycoon in Jipsdale. Do I still need to rely on others? Besides, you’re the one who’s insisting on staying by Mr. Ziegler. What’s your purpose, then?”

Savannah’s expression turned ugly as the tables had turned. “I am here to take care of Leo. Now that something happened to Quintin, I felt responsible, too…”

“Why would it be your responsibility? You are not the one boosting luck, and Leo isn’t your child. What makes you responsible, then?” Caroline questioned.

Savannah refuted, “Well, I am the nursery teacher of the Ziegler family. Taking care of Leo is my responsibility!”

“If that’s so, then can you answer me this? What kind of nursery teacher are you? You keep saying you want to take care of Leo, but why did you let Leo get bullied like that?” Crossing her arms, Caroline cut a cold glare at Savannah.

Overwhelmed with embarrassment, Savannah tried to defend herself by saying, “I didn’t know at all about the incident. It must’ve happened when I wasn’t at home. Surely it wouldn’t have happened if I was around!”

“Fine. Please take good care of the kids, then. You don’t have to worry about Mr. Ziegler!” Caroline said.

“No! I want to take care of Quintin!” Panicked, Savannah expressed her true thoughts. “I love Quintin. I should be the one paired with him. No one can separate us.”

“Quintin is mine, and mine alone! I won’t allow anyone to snatch him from me!” she exclaimed internally.

“I see. Rest assured. If Quintin genuinely loves you, no one will be able to separate you from him. After he recovers, remember to invite me to your wedding. I suppose I deserve some credit for taking care of him, right?” Caroline uttered.

“So, do you mean you won’t leave now?” Savannah asked coldly.

“Does she want me to leave instead? Not in a million years!” she thought with rage.

Seeing how Caroline was not replying, Savannah shifted her gaze toward Leon and shouted, “Leo, come over to Grandma and me!”

Leon stood up but didn’t walk over to Savannah. Instead, he buried his head into Caroline’s embrace.

Caroline hugged him tightly. Seeing that scene, Savannah was beyond enraged. She had bought a lot of stuff for the kid. Regardless, she still failed to get his heart. “What an ungrateful bastard. How could he be so close with that woman?” she thought.

Seeing Caroline acting like a clingy woman, Carmen warned menacingly, “Ms. Lewis, so what if Leo is close to you? Bear in mind that it’s not so easy to be a stepmother! I hope you are aware of that!”

Caroline figured she shouldn’t hold back her words anymore since they didn’t seem to drop the matter. “Ms. Carmen, you a point! However, I merely came to boost luck. Even if I want to be a stepmother, it would be different from you. Mr.. Ziegler’s father used to have an original spouse. You eliminated her and successfully ascended the position. That was how you became a stepmother. As for Mr. Ziegler, he’s never married. I would be the original spouse if I were to be with him. Thus, his son will naturally become my son. I won’t be considered a stepmotherl

Provoked by Caroline directly, Carmen was beyond exasperated. She hated it the most when others mentioned she was the

third party who ascended the position, “Caroline, how could you say that to me?”

Savannah added fuel to the fire. “Caroline, Carmen is Quintin’s nominal mother. How could you disrespect her like this?”

“Did I say something wrong?” Caroline went against the two women head-on. The air filled with provocation as they exchanged glares.

This is preposterous! You don’t look like a distinguished lady at alll Didn’t your mom teach you about respect? How could you be so uneducated?” At that moment, Carmen sneered as she seemed to recall something. “Oh, by the way, I heard your mom is dead. Lydia, right? There’s no one around to educate you, then. I heard your mom had a bad reputation when she was young and a bad temper. You are exactly like your mom. I guess that’s why you’re so arrogant.”

“Indeed, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree,” Savannah chimed in.

“How could they disrespect someone who passed away for many years?” Caroline thought in wrath.

She didn’t mind if others provoked her, but she couldn’t accept them humiliating her mother.

Putting Leon down, she stood up and uttered coldly, “You b s have no right to comment on my mom. Yes, she is dead and couldn’t take care of me, but who do you think you are? Old lady, I suggest you go to the beauty salon when you are not busy. Your face will get ruined if you don’t work on it now! If Old Mr. Ziegler sees your look, do you think he will be scared. and want a divorce?”

Then, she turned toward Savannah. “And you! Do you seriously think you are a beauty that no one can compare? Do you dare to remove your makeup and let Mr. Ziegler see your face? Oh, he can’t see right now. You should grab this chance and go to Hawen to conduct plastic surgery on your disastrous face. You two can go and try to get the group offer price!”

“Caroline, you…

“You b h! Do you have a death wish?”

Carmen and Savannah’s chests heaved up and down as they were overwhelmed with fury. Savannah rolled up her sleeves, wanting to beat Caroline up..

Caroline raised her chin fearlessly. “What? Do you want to hit me? Bring it on!”
