The next day, Harley and Thea got out of bed incredibly late.

Truth be told, both of them had awakened already, but neither of them had tried to wake each other, so they pretended to be asleep with their backs against each other.

It wasn't until they heard Cutie Pie's cries that they sat up simultaneously and realized that both of them had actually woken up.

After looking at each other with embarrassment for a second, Thea went to hug Cutie Pie hastily.

"Um, hubby, we are going back to the Stewart family. Do you remember that?"

Harley replied, "Of course I do! How could I forget? Now that it's almost time, let's get ready!"

Thea nodded and said, "Then, I'll prepare Cutie Pie's milk first."

So, they both got started with their own preparations. After Thea went out, Harley rubbed his forehead gloomily.

Well, it was inevitable that they have to go back to the Stewart family!

Meanwhile, Eudora, who was in Clearwater Bay, had a new plan.

After her plan of playing cards had been ruined due to Thea's absence, Eudora decided to switch courses and head back to Granger Mansion. Granger Mansion used to be where Amos' father had lived. By right, Amos should have lived there as well after becoming the head of the family. However, Eudora liked Clearwater Bay, so they had not moved there.

The mansion seemed desolate because no one was living there except the butler and the servants.

Fortunately, they had been taking care of the mansion and it was tidy as usual. The butler burst into tears as soon as he saw them.

"Mr. and Mrs. Granger, ever since you've not been here, the house has been lifeless. Why don't you stay here for a while this time?"

Before Eudora could say anything, the butler spoke again.

He insisted, "After all, you don't need to work during the New Year's holiday. You can just take this as a vacation!"

He had already made the arrangements. What else could Eudora say?

So, she nodded and asked someone to bring Gordon over to the mansion. The yard was big, therefore Gordon and the children had a good time playing in the new environment. As for Eudora, she realized something as she remembered the location of the mansion.

"It seems that the Stewart family is not far from here, right?"

Amos nodded and said, "Yes, it seems so!"

"I'm wondering what will happen to Thea and Harley today."

Amos looked at her helplessly and said, "Are you really that worried about them? Or are you looking for someone to play cards with you?"

Eudora was taken aback.

She had just learned how to play cards so she couldn't help but become addicted to it!

However, what she did not know was that in that current situation, Harley probably failed to be in the mood of playing cards at all!

The Stewart family was large and affluent. Although their wealth might be no match for the Granger family, they excelled in other aspects, especially in the number of family members they had!

The head of the Stewart family, Thea's father, was a philanderer in love. His legitimate wife had given birth to one son and two daughters.

By adding Thea, his illegitimate daughter, into the equation, he had three daughters in total!

It just so happened that all of them had returned to the family today.

Both of his other daughters were married well. One of them to the son of a well off capitalist, and the other to the son of a businessman who owned numerous supermarket chains.

Thea's sisters had always looked down on her, and now they even showed haughty contempt towards Thea. Before Thea and Harley could enter the house, they blocked the couple at the entrance and ridiculed her. "Hey, Mina, am I going blind? Who am I seeing now? It can't be that our arrogant younger sister is here, is it?"

It was Freya Stewart, Thea's second eldest sister, who had spoken.

Upon hearing that, her eldest sister, Mina, laughed, "Freya, you're not mistaken. Our little sister really has come back! It's just that we haven't seen her in so many years. What is the purpose behind her return this time?"

Thea's elder brother, Finn, who was following behind them, gave a snort and said, "What else could she be up to? Judging by her pathetic looks, she must be having a hard time out there and can't go on by myself anymore, hence she has come back to ask Dad for help!"

After that, their gazes all fell on Harley.

They were the reason why Harley was reluctant to visit the Stewart family. However, since he was already here, he couldn't just let them bully his wife.

With that thought in mind, Harley walked forwards and pulled Thea behind him.

"Nice to meet you, Mina, Freya and Finn. I'm Harley, I'm very sorry that I haven't come to see you since I got married to Thea. It's our fault. So, this time I've brought Cutie Pie and Thea back to see you and Dad. It doesn't matter if you don't like me because I don't like you all either. We will leave as soon as possible after we meet Dad. Do as you wish."

Due to his profession, Harley had this imposing vigor as he spoke, which slightly shocked Finn and the others.

After that, Harley first entered the house with Thea in tow!

Looking at their backs, Freya grew a little unhappy and snorted, "What a lofty attitude! Look at his lousy car. They must have come back to ask for money from Dad. I won't let that happen!" After entering the yard, Thea held Harley's hand apologetically.

"I'm sorry that you've been scorned by them. Perhaps we shouldn't have come!"

Harley shook his head and said, "It's okay. We've come back to visit your father and we don't have to care about other irrelevant people. As long as you and the children are healthy, I will be happy!" Thea nodded and said, "Let's go in!"

However, before she could finish her words, she heard a servant's voice behind her.

"Miss Thea, you can't go in from here!"

Thea was perplexed and said, "Why? Isn't this the main entrance?"

The servant felt a little awkward and said, "This is indeed the main entrance. But...Miss Thea, please don't make things difficult for me. You'd better go in from there!"

As Thea was still puzzled, Freya caught up to them.

She sneered, "Don't you understand? The main entrance is for us, the legitimate children of the Stewart family. Who do you think you are? You're just an illegitimate daughter! Letting you enter through the side door is already us giving you mercy!"

Thea gritted her teeth and said, "Freya, you've asked the servants to do this, didn't you? Don't go too far!"

"I'm going too far? How have I gone too far? Aren't you really an illegitimate daughter?"

After Freya finished her sentences, she looked at Cutie Pie and continued to talk again, "Oh, if I remember correctly, this child is also a b*stard, just like you, isn't he? You're so lucky to be able to find a stepfather for him. Dearest Thea, you're living a happier life than your mother."

Thea gnashed her teeth in fury and she slapped Freya before she could finish speaking.

Pa! A loud sound could be heard!

A heavy silence dawned in the yard. The servant was petrified and she looked at them with her eyes wide open with her hands over her mouth.

Miss Thea had hit Miss Freya!

In her memory, Miss Thea had always been bullied at home in the past. However, she had never dared to hit anyone! Unexpectedly, she had actually slapped someone this time? Three seconds went by.

Freya screamed, "Ah! You b*tch, how dare you hit me!"

As she said that, her long fingernails were about to scratch Thea's body. However, as soon as she stretched out her arms, she was stopped by a pair of big hands.

Harley gripped her wrist hard and stared at her fiercely.

"Usually, I don't beat up women, but if someone intends to bully my wife, I won't hold back any longer!"
