The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1084

Back in the country, in Kingsview, although the Beauvort family tried their best to suppress it, news of Frederic's car accident inevitably leaked out.

Early morning, news from various media outlets started to surface and quickly spread.

Those rivals who had long regarded the Beauvort family as a thorn in their side seized the opportunity to spread rumors such as members of the Beauvort family subtly had started fighting over the inheritance, the Beauvort family was already in chaos and on the verge of decline, and there were even more outrageous rumors claiming that Frederic was on his last legs.

That incident significantly impacted the Beauvort family, even causing some upheaval.

Ian was growing impatient, answering one phone call after another. Finally managing to free himself, he hurriedly sought out Jean to report the situation. “Mr. Beauvort, quite a few of our business partners called today. They are worried if there might be any impact on the Beauvort family.”

Jean grew even more impatient, his face stern and not uttering a single word. Nowadays, with me at the helm, what can impact Beauvort Group? Dad has been the nominal chairman for years now, and he doesn't meddle in the company's affairs anymore. Even if one day Dad really passes away, nothing will change. Who in Beauvort Group would dare to challenge me for power and profit? However, the matters at hand still need to be dealt with.

After Frederic woke up, his condition gradually began to improve.

Learning that his youngest son had been by his side all those days, even falling ill once, and was now busy handling the affairs of the group, his heart ached terribly.

So, despite Wrenn's dissuasion, Frederic insisted on recording a video to proactively clarify that he was in excellent health.

In the video, he also declared that Beauvort Group was securely under the control of Jean, free from worries. There would be no more incidents of division, let alone any turbulence.

That video was quickly picked up by the news reports.

When Jean saw it, he was about to tackle the current mess at hand.

In the video, Frederic appeared to be in good spirits, but Jean knew that his father was merely putting on a brave face. Jean's heart was filled with a mix of emotions.

“Mr. Beauvort!” Ian walked in with a tablet. “As soon as Mr. Frederic's video was released, public opinion immediately flipped. Those internet ghostwriters who were originally stirring up trouble have all quieted down, no longer making a fuss.”

Jean showed no particular emotion. He nodded lightly. “Understood.”

He wrapped up the matter and went straight to the hospital that night.

As soon as Frederic saw Jean, the former repeatedly exclaimed, “Jean, why are you here so late? You've just had an episode. You should go back and rest.”

Jean shook his head. “I'm fine, Dad. It's you who should be resting. You've just woken up. It's important that you take it easy. Don't worry about the company. There's no need for you to get involved and exhaust yourself.”

Frederic waved his hand, letting out a deep sigh. “Just showing up to clarify things won't take much effort. But for you, this incident has delayed your trip to Essley to find Neera, which is of utmost importance. We can't offer much help, and it's not right for us to always hold you back. Don't worry about the remaining trivial matters of the company, leave them to Joseph to handle. You just go back and rest, make the most of your time, and hurry to Essley to bring Neera back.”

Wrenn shared the same mindset as him. “Yes, go ahead. When you return, bring back my three well-behaved grandchildren with you.”

Deep down, Jean was also feeling anxious. Seeing his parents persuading him earnestly, he thought to himself that with Joseph around, there was nothing to worry about. So, he stopped resisting, nodded, and agreed.

“All right. I'll go in a few days.”

Coincidentally, Adriana's birthday was in a few days. He could use that as an excuse to show up, which could help ease the tension.

Later on, he saw Frederic had gone to sleep and reminded his mother to rest early before he returned home.

After he had taken a shower and was about to go to bed, Ian urgently reported an issue. “Mr. Beauvort, during this unrest within the Beauvort family, many have taken the opportunity to stir up trouble and spread pessimism. Among them, a good number are the handiwork of the Marks family.”

Upon hearing that, Jean furrowed his brows. “The Marks family? They can't stay in Kingsview anymore, and they're still stirring up trouble in secret?”

“Indeed, after all, Marks Group still has a market abroad, and it's not like they've completely lost their influence. If they want to pull some strings, they can still manage it.”

A hint of ruthlessness surfaced in Jean's eyes, followed by a cold, mocking laugh. Previously, when Kyra revealed the events of the past, I was too concerned about Neera's feelings to find the time to settle things once and for all. So now they're rushing headlong into their demise? If that's the case, no matter where Marks Group is, they can forget about having a good time!
