Chapter 1018 Please Come Back Soon

Just when Winona was about to speak up for Stanley, Kate spoke first. "Can't you comfort her when she's crying? What's the point of hiring you, then? Did I hire you to watch me soothe my child? I'm busy right now and have no time for her. Get lost. I'll fire you if you disturb me again!"

Winona was terrified to speak when she heard she would lose her job. She looked at Stanley with a concerned expression and eventually turned to leave.

Stanley is quite pitiful to have such a stepmother, but this is ultimately a rich person's family matter. I'm just a poor person who can't even take care of myself, let alone others. It will be disastrous if I get retaliated against by them.

Seeing the irksome nanny walk away, Kate realized she would be done for if Alex returned home when she was punishing Stanley.

She grabbed Stanley's ear again and dragged him to the car. She started the car and left the villa.

Winona, who was standing on the second floor, sighed heavily as she watched the car drive off into the distance. I wonder where Mrs. Jefferson is taking Stanley. She could not help but worry for him. Please come back soon, Mr. Jefferson!

Kate's mind was in turmoil. Should I just get rid of him? I have countless reasons to escape my responsibilities if 1 get rid of him now. However, I can't avoid the fact that I have neglected in caring for him. Kate bit her lip and clenched her fists. Her gaze fell on Stanley, who was curled up in the corner of the room. She could not make up her mind.

My daughter will be the sole inheritor of Alex's immense wealth if Stanley dies. The hundred billion of assets will belong to my daughter, and the Sutton family can also bask in the glory.

Even if Alex developed feelings for another woman in the future, Kate had the means to ensure that that woman would not be able to bear any children.

Kate was inching closer to Stanley, and greed had already taken control of her. My daughter will inherit everything from Alex if I just get rid of Stanley. Kate walked up to Stanley, who was weeping non-stop on the floor.

She raised both hands. Just when she was about to reach his neck, a sharp knock on the door startled her.

The malicious expression on Kate's face changed into a benevolent one, and she helped to straighten his collar.

"Stanley, I was too hasty just now. You won't hold it against me, right?" she said in a gentle, apologetic tone.

Stanley slowly raised his head in confusion after hearing Kate's words, tears streaming down his face. Why did she change so quickly?

Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door came again. Overjoyed, Stanley pushed Kate aside and ran toward the door.

He screamed at the top of his voice, "Daddy, save me! Ms. Sutton keeps hitting me. Kick her out, Daddy!"

Kate's face was scrunched up. Indeed, this brat is going to tell on me. I'll undoubtedly be kicked out if Alex replaces out I have been mistreating Stanley. No! I have to prevent that from happening at all costs, but I don't have any other ways to explain myself now that Alex is right outside the door.

"Stanley, I only scolded you a little because you bullied Emmalyn. How can you make up such accusations? When did I ever hit you?" Kate's current strategy was to put the entire blame on Stanley. It was another matter of whether Alex believed it or not.

When she opened the door and saw the person standing outside, a wicked grin crept onto her face.

"Mrs. Jefferson, Emma keeps crying non-stop even after I fed her baby formula. I have no choice but to come and replace you," Winona explained while holding Emmalyn by the door.

Winona understood that Kate had been abusing Stanley when she saw his face covered in snot and tears.

She knew that Stanley was a well-behaved kid even though she had only been in this household for a short time. She could not comprehend why Kate would be so harsh to Stanley. What had Stanley done to upset

her?
