The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 10

Neera nearly laughed out loud when she heard that.

What a coincidence!

The Beauvort family contacted me yesterday to treat Jean Beauvort, and my "kind father" now wants me to marry him.

As far as I remember, Jean is very ill. He might already be one foot in the grave. If I marry him, I might as well call myself a widow!

Neera's disdain for the Garcia family grew even stronger.

They had mercilessly driven her out of the household six years ago. Now, they contacted her again just so that she could make more money for them.

Neera had already run out of patience. She glanced at Alfonso mockingly and said, "Do you really think I returned to Kingsview because I care about those measly shares? I wouldn't even bother stepping foot in this house if the shares are from my mother and my aunt needed my help! What makes you think I'd let you control my life? The audacity!"

She turned around and prepared to leave.

Alfonso, Susan, and Roxanne were dumbfounded. They did not expect Neera not to be tempted by the shares.

"Wait!" Alfonso yelled. "Are you sure you don't want the shares? Don't you know how much they're worth? The dividends alone will earn you five million dollars a year. That's enough for you to live comfortably."

Neera stopped walking and sneered. "You think you can control me with five million dollars? Who do you think I am?"

Roxanne could not hold back when she heard that. She said angrily, "Don't be too greedy, Neera! We're giving you five million dollars a year, and you get to marry a wealthy man. What else do you want?"

"Five million dollars is pocket change to me! Also, why do I have to listen to you and marry that guy? Just because we're related by blood?"

Neera turned around slowly, and her gaze swept over the three people. "You don't deserve any of my time," she said mockingly.

After that, she left the front door as the family of three glared at her.

…

After leaving the Garcia family residence, Neera took her phone and called a cab.

She could not wait to leave this darned place!

While waiting for the cab, she turned her head and saw Zachary looking at her!

Zachary was here to pick up Roxanne to go to work. He was driving a brand-new Porsche and was dressed in a silver-gray suit.

As he stepped out of his car, he noticed someone standing at the front gate.

He glanced at her, and his breath was taken away.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman before!

He realized he could not take his eyes away from her. Going up to Neera, he asked, "Excuse me, miss, are you here to visit someone?"

Neera glanced at him and recognized he was her fiancé who had betrayed her.

She did not show any expression on her face, though the feeling of disgust made her want to throw up.

She ignored Zachary and continued to look at the position of her cab on her phone screen.

That only piqued Zachary's curiosity.

She's so beautiful, any man would fall for her!

Noticing that Neera was calling a cab, he said, "Miss, where are you going? I can bring you there in my car."

Neera did not reply. She thought he was very annoying.

Why isn't the cab here yet? She thought.

Roxanne came out of the house. She walked up to Zachary happily and said, "You're here, Zachary! Why didn't you come in? I've been waiting for you?"

She noticed Neera from the corner of her eye.

"Why are you still here, Neera?" she said unhappily.

Zachary opened his eyes wide in disbelief when he heard that.

"What… What did you call her? Did you say that she's… Neera Garcia?"

She's the utterly disgusting slum girl! That's impossible!

Zachary tried his best to find any trace of the unremarkable young woman he once knew but failed.

Neera's cab arrived. She quickly got inside and left.

Never once did she look at Zachary!

Zachary watched in a daze as the cab left.

Roxanne felt incredibly jealous when she saw that.

Neera, you b*tch! Why can't you stay ugly forever?
