The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1043

At that moment, Neera suddenly received a call from her aunt.

“Aunt Adriana, what's wrong?”

She glanced at the screen and waved her phone at Wilfrid before answering the call.

On the phone, Adriana's voice was different than usual. She sounded somewhat somber. “Neera, where are you? Come back immediately.”

She seldom spoke to Neera in such an authoritative tone.

Neera was somewhat surprised. “What happened?”

Adriana did not respond. She simply insisted, “Come back first, and we'll talk when we meet.”

Neera was even more puzzled, but she could tell that her aunt sounded very urgent and serious, so she relayed it to Wilfrid.

“I have something urgent to attend to, so I need to leave now. If there's anything in the future, we can keep in touch over the phone. If you miss me, feel free to send me a message on WhatsApp.”

“All right, it's no problem,” Wilfrid acknowledged.

Before leaving, Neera took out a card and handed it to him.

“This money is for your living expenses. You're studying hard and still so young, so you absolutely can't neglect your dietary nutrition. With this money, you can buy what you love to eat and some study materials as well. Spend it as needed. There's no need to save. Just make sure your parents don't find out.”

Wilfrid quickly stood up and waved his hands in refusal. He was unwilling to accept the money.

“Sis, I can't accept this money. I have enough for my living expenses.”

Neera knew that he was a sensible boy, so she deliberately put on a stern face.

“This is a token of my affection as your older sister. I may not be able to take care of you in person, but I can show my care in this way. I just want you to eat well and dress warmly. If you refuse to accept it, I'll be upset.”

Wilfrid hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly accepted. “Thank you, sis.”

“Good boy.”

Neera laughed and ruffled his hair. “That's more like it. Don't you dare save on my behalf. I'll be checking regularly, and I'll be upset if you don't spend it.”

After exchanging a few more words, she hurriedly rushed back home.

As soon as she walked through the door, she heard Adriana anxiously ask before she even had a chance to put down her bag, “Is what they're saying on the Internet true?”

Neera paused in confusion. She did not understand what was going on.

“What do you mean? What's happened on the Internet now?”

When Adriana was browsing Twitter just now, she was both shocked and angry, and her anger had not subsided yet.

She took a deep breath and allowed herself to calm down for a moment before explaining the situation to Neera.

“People are saying online that the person who bullied you in that hotel years ago was Jean. Weren't you aware of this?”

Like a thunderbolt out of the blue, it exploded in Neera's mind with a bang.

She was momentarily stunned and stood there for several seconds before she came to her senses. Swiftly, she snatched the mobile phone from her aunt's hand.

Upon seeing that lengthy Twitter post, her complexion had already turned rather unpleasant.

“No, it can't be...”

She shook her head in confusion. Clearly, she did not believe it.

“It's definitely fake. The Internet loves to spread rumors. These are all baseless. You cannot believe them...”

Meanwhile, on the Internet, there were also commenters questioning that blogger.

Why are you spreading rumors here without any evidence? Do you love gossiping so much that you're not afraid of receiving a legal warning letter?

Just talking won't do. Why don't you provide some evidence that Mr. Beauvort had checked into the hotel?

This blogger is truly brave. He's slandering that person without the fear of wearing out a prison cell...

Amidst a chorus of doubts, the anonymous account suddenly sprang back to life and posted another tweet.

Evidence? Isn't the evidence right in front of us? Those three children of Neera are Jean's own flesh and blood. What could be a stronger proof than this? Moreover, the Beauvort family is also aware of it, and there's even a paternity test. @OfficialBeauvortGroup, why don't you make a statement? Do you dare to admit this?

Originally, many people were still skeptical.

It was clear that this blogger showed no fear at all since he had directly tagged the official page of Beauvort Group. The onlookers had started to believe the rumor.

After all, the fact that the blogger dared to openly challenge Beauvort Group showed that he was telling the truth.

Meanwhile, at Star Entertainment Media, Larry's head started to spin upon seeing the message.

This matter that involved Jean and Neera had turned ugly. He did not dare to speak out rashly, so he had no choice but to hurriedly call Ian.

At that moment, Ian and his companions were stuck in traffic.

A car accident up ahead left them stuck in the middle, and they were unable to move. There was no way they could rush back to Imperial Gardens immediately.

Jean, who was in the back seat, was on the verge of losing his patience.

Ian was so anxious that he was practically fuming. When he received a call from Larry, he did not even know what to say.

On the other end, Larry asked nervously, “Mr. Ian, how should we handle this situation? This must be fake, right...”

Ian fell silent. After a moment, he responded, “If it were false, it would be easy to handle. But this matter is real. For now, don't respond on your end. Try to stabilize the direction of public opinion and control any negative comments about Mr. and Mrs. Beauvort as much as possible. I'll let you know how to proceed once I've thought it through.”

Upon hearing his response, Larry was so shocked that his jaw nearly dropped. It took him quite a while to stutter out a reply.
