The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1041
Over at the Marks family, a cloud of worry hung heavy, filling the entire house with an air of desolation.
Stetson and Dandy no longer held their previous radiance. Their eyes drooped, making them appear as if they had aged by a decade.
As for Kyra, it was the same.
She had been drowning her sorrows for two consecutive days, completely intoxicated, devoid of any energy.
After terminating her contract with Star Entertainment Media, she had a hunch that Jean would blacklist her. However, she still held onto a glimmer of hope and personally sought out discussions with other companies.
Ever since the incident, she lost everything.
Her endorsements were gone, her TV shows were taken down, and the company didn't want her anymore. Even her agent and assistant had disappeared without a trace—she couldn't even get through a single phone call.
Once held high and adored by thousands, she seemed to have fallen into the mire.
She had no choice but to temporarily set aside her lofty demeanor, to cast away her pride and self-respect, enduring the strange looks as she went from one company to another to discuss collaboration.
However, no one was willing to take her in in the end.
At the last company she visited, she didn't even get to see the person in charge. She was promptly shown the door by the receptionist.
“Beauvort Group has completely blacklisted you, and you're still dreaming of being a star? Give it a rest. Your reputation is now as rotten as a bedbug's, thoroughly tarnished. No one will want you!”
Kyra stood at the company's entrance, feeling as if all the blood had rushed to her head, her face flushed red. Her fingertips dug deeply into her palm.
In all her life, she had never suffered such humiliation!
Overnight, she went from being a goddess admired by all to a despised street rat that everyone scorned!
How did it end up like this?
She didn't understand. She was filled with such intense hatred that it was almost driving her mad...
Because of this, her emotions remained in turmoil. The only thing she could do was to drink, using alcohol as a means to vent her inner resentment.
At this moment, it was noon. She woke up with a splitting headache, not caring how disheveled she looked. Her priority was to go downstairs and get some wine.
In the end, she found the wine cabinet empty.
She searched again in the dining room and kitchen but couldn't find a single bottle. Turning around, she went to the living room to ask her father.
“Dad, where's the wine? How come there's not a single bottle left?”
Stetson was so anxious that he didn't even have the mind to shave. With dark circles under his eyes and stubble sprouting from his chin, seeing her in this state only added to his frustration. He opened his mouth to reprimand her immediately.
“Wine, wine, wine! What time do you think it is? And you're still in the mood for drinking! Can't you look at yourself in the mirror and see what you've become? You're simply too unpleasant to look at!”
Kyra's mood was already in the dumps, and being berated head-on only made her explode with anger.
“What do I look like? Too hideous to behold? Then, don't look! I'm now facing a boycott from the entire industry. All my reputation has been ruined, ridiculed, and insulted by others. Am I not allowed to be upset? Do I still have to pretend to be happy? Have I gone mad, or have you?”
Stetson looked at her as if she were a mad woman, his heart aching and filled with anger.
How did my lovely daughter end up like this?
Incompetent, useless, and now she's just giving up and acting like a scorned woman!
Seeing that the father and daughter were about to argue again, Dandy walked over wearily. She pulled Kyra aside and, with forced patience, began to persuade her.
“Kyra, you can't just give up on yourself like this. You have to pull yourself together. Our family is going through a tough time right now. Your father and I are already at our wits' end. Can you please not make us worry anymore?”
Kyra sneered, “What do you mean by 'don't worry us anymore'? You're actually telling me not to be a burden, right? I know you all look down on me and even laugh at me in your hearts!”
“Child, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? It's completely unreasonable!”
“Right, I'm unreasonable. Everything you've said is correct, okay?”
Kyra yelled out in frustration, and as she finished, tears began to fall.
“Why? Why is it always my fault? Is it so wrong to love someone? Why does Jean have to treat me this way? Why? Haven't I been good enough to him? How could he be so heartless...”
As soon as she said that, Stetson exploded in rage again.
“What's going on in your head? Even at this time, you're still thinking about him?”
Kyra gritted her teeth, retorting, “Of course, I'm thinking about him. I hate him. He's completely blind and heartless! I won't forget him in this lifetime, even if I die. I want to take revenge on him. He's not letting us live peacefully, is he? Then I won't let him live peacefully either. No one should expect to have it easy!”
As she spoke, her expression turned menace, the light in her eyes chillingly terrifying.
Stetson was somewhat frightened, and as a result, he didn't dare to scold her anymore.
“All right. All right. Things have come to this. You should stop provoking Jean. Haven't you learned your lesson? There's no good in messing with him.”
“That's not necessarily the case!”
Kyra was once again contradicting her father, clearly having formed her own ideas.
“He must have Neera, right? Fine, then. The more he behaves like this, the more I'll make sure he doesn't get to be with that b*tch!”
At this point, she suddenly burst into hearty laughter as if she had gone mad.
“Dad, Mom, just sit back and enjoy the show. It won't be long before the Beauvort family and that b*tch start turning on each other...”
Stetson and Dandy couldn't believe their daughter was acting so crazily. They had no idea what she was up to and were incredibly worried.
That afternoon, a lengthy post made by an anonymous account on Twitter quickly sparked a major uproar.
The content of this Twitter post explicitly revealed that Jean, the president of the Beauvort Group, had a fleeting affair with a woman in a hotel six years ago. After the incident, he disappeared without a trace, leaving the woman's reputation in ruins.
Beneath the text, there were also several links attached.
And the content of those links shockingly turned out to be the scandal that Neera was exposed to years ago!
