The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1010

Fifteen minutes later, Neera arrived at Jean's office.

The concern on her face was impossible to hide. Her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her face was clearly gloomy.

Jean pulled her to his side and got her to sit down beside him.

“Don't worry for now. I've already sent Ian to track Isabella's whereabouts. She hasn't been gone for long, so she should be fine.”

Neera nodded, took a sip of water, and set it down, her mind completely focused on the matter at hand.

“I hope Bell is safe and sound...”

In the evening, Ian returned.

“Mr. Beauvort, Mrs. Beauvort, we have made progress in the matter concerning Ms. Lopez.”

Unable to contain herself, Neera leaned forward and asked, “What have you found?”

“Ms. Lopez has been confined by Alvin's assistant. So far, nothing has happened, and the location has been identified. She's in the basement of an abandoned building in Oldale District.”

After hearing the report, Neera was ready to stand up. “What are we waiting for? Let's go get her now...”

Jean quickly stopped her, coaxing her in a gentle voice. “Calm down. I'll go with you in a bit. Let's first understand the situation over there. Alvin's assistant definitely wouldn't have just one person watching her!”

Anxious from being overly worried, Neera saw the logic in Jean's words. Hence, she gritted her teeth and sat back down.

Ian continued to report, “The source of Alvin's prescription has been identified. It came from the black market. Currently, that prescription should be in Alvin's possession.”

“Black market?”

Neera frowned deeply. “The black market again! How come they're everywhere!”

Jean held her hand gently, giving it a light squeeze. “Don't be upset. The most important thing right now is to rescue Isabella. But before that, we need to gather some evidence to deal with Alvin properly. Otherwise, we won't be able to completely resolve this matter.”

Neera's mind was filled with images of her best friend being held captive. Thus, she was so overwhelmed that she could hardly think. She asked frantically, “What should we do?”

After a moment of contemplation, Jean came up with an idea.

“Go find Isabella's assistant and have her spread the news that Isabella has a recommendation letter for a spot in the World Medical Alliance. It was personally given to you by the President of the Alliance. Once one fills in one's name, one can become an official member of the World Medical Alliance!”

You should know that for those in the medical field, this is an enormous temptation. Someone as rapacious as Alvin won't be able to resist. When the time comes, he will definitely go to see Isabella, and that will be our best opportunity to act.”

Neera's spirits were lifted. “That's a good idea. There's no way Alvin would just stand by and let this opportunity fall into Bell's hands.”

So, she quickly called Isabella's assistant and gave the task to her.

Upon learning of it, the assistant agreed, “Ms. Garcia, you can rest assured and leave it to me. I will certainly not let you down and will handle the matter well!”

In the hospital, the assistant carefully chose her words and composed his emotions after hanging up the phone. With a decisive pull, she opened the door and stormed into Alvin's office.

“Mr. Lopez, where have your people taken Director Lopez? Do you realize this is kidnapping? Release Director Lopez immediately!”

Upon seeing her, a mere assistant, daring to demand Isabella's release in his office, Alvin squinted his eyes, his face full of disdain.

“Who do you think you are to dare act so insolently in front of me?”

The assistant sneered, “I might be a nobody, but I'm certainly better than those who are less than human. How can you actually kidnap your own cousin? I'm telling you, if anything happens to Director Lopez, I will definitely call the police on you!”

Naturally, Alvin was not afraid. While playing dumb, he didn't forget to warn her.

“I have no idea what you're talking about! What does it have to do with me if anything happens to her? You're making baseless accusations. Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation!”

“Also, Isabella is no longer the director. Aren't you afraid that I'll kick you out of the hospital for defending her like this?”

The assistant lifted her chin, retorting defiantly, “I'm not scared at all! To tell you the truth, I was ready to leave the hospital even before I arrived! Alvin, you had better not go too far. Otherwise, you'll face retribution sooner or later. Also, no matter how hard you try, it's all in vain. You... you will never surpass Director Lopez in this lifetime. Her character is superior to yours, while her medical skills are better than yours. It's just that you refused to admit it!”

After Alvin was berated by the junior assistant, his face drastically darkened.

Her words had hit him where it hurt the most.

The assistant kept staring at his expression, then suddenly broke into a triumphant smile.

“Do you think that by removing her from the hospital, you'll somehow be superior? But I'm sure you're unaware that even without her position as the hospital director, she has still one-up you.

This time, the miracle doctor, Nancy, has returned with a recommendation form from the World Medical Alliance. She has already given the recommendation letter to Director Lopez. Once Director Lopez becomes a member of the alliance, she will be the most accomplished among all of you in the Lopez family, unmatched by anyone!”
