The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1113

Meanwhile, in the hospital under Beauvort Group in Kingsview.

As it turned out, Jean hadn't hung up the phone himself. His phone had run out of battery and shut down automatically.

He originally wanted to hear how Neera would respond, but now he couldn't anymore.

The mere thought of Avery, with his dubious intentions, daring to knock on Neera's door in the dead of night to invite her to watch the fireworks stirred a wave of irritation in his heart.

Hah! Thinking of taking advantage when I'm not around to steal my woman? Well, I'd like to see if you have what it takes!

He charged his phone, and as he was about to return the call, Storm and Cloud suddenly showed up.

“Mr. Beauvort, we have found the whereabouts of Asher!”

With pressing matters at hand, he had no choice but to temporarily set his phone aside. With a stern face, he asked, “Where is he now?”

Storm was somewhat irritated and spoke with a hint of annoyance. “That b*stard is actually hiding in Kingsview. Despite all our calculations, we never considered this possibility!”

Cloud was much calmer than him. “I think he probably believes that the most dangerous place is the safest place. As for his exact hiding spot, we're still investigating...”

Just as they were speaking, Nathaniel also arrived.

Storm and Cloud greeted him respectfully, then stepped aside to wait.

“Nathaniel. Any news?” Jean invited Nathaniel to sit down, taking the initiative to ask.

Nathaniel waved his hand. “I won't sit; I have things to do. To cut a long story short, the culprits of the car accident you were involved in have been apprehended by the police with my assistance. Those two were indeed hired to take your life. The mastermind they confessed to is a foreign man named Stephen. I checked his background. He's not ordinary, but I haven't found out more yet. He seems to be connected to Asher. Presumably, after you eradicated their black market headquarters, they became desperate and resorted to such extreme measures to take your life.”

When he heard those words, a storm seemed to gather on Jean's face.

He let out a cold chuckle. “Take my life? They're not up to it yet!”

After Nathaniel left, he turned to look at Storm and Cloud, issuing his orders in a cold voice.

“Find out Asher's whereabouts as soon as possible. This time, no matter what, Asher must not be allowed to leave Kingsview alive!”

He gave them a deadline of two days to resolve this matter.

He had been stuck here for quite some time and couldn't wait any longer.

If things kept dragging on like this, his woman might really be stolen away by someone else!

Both brothers could sense that their boss was in a bad mood. Not daring to slack off in the slightest, they hurriedly set off to get the job done.

...

Eventually, the group finished watching the fireworks display.

Neera returned to her room, only to find that Jean had not sent any more messages or called. She felt a sense of unease in her heart.

Could it be... that guy is genuinely angry this time?

Is he for real?

There's nothing between me and Avery to begin with, absolutely nothing!

What happened tonight was clearly an unexpected event. Is his trust in me so limited?

With this matter weighing on her mind, she found herself unable to sleep that night.

Even though she had been playing all day and her body was extremely tired, her mind was still active. She tossed and turned, her thoughts racing.

The more she tossed and turned, the more frustrated she felt. She wanted to send a message to Jean but felt that doing so might seem a bit too deliberate.

But if she said nothing at all, she couldn't be sure that man wouldn't get the wrong idea...

After enduring through most of the night, she simply couldn't take it anymore. She sat up and dialed Isabella's number.

“Bell, are you asleep? I hope I'm not disturbing you,” she asked as soon as the call connected.

Isabella looked at the bright sun outside, feeling somewhat bewildered.

“It's daytime here, so why would I be sleeping? What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten about the time difference?”

“Ah...” Neera rubbed her nose, laughing awkwardly. “I see. I really did forget about that.”

“Speaking of which, it must be late at night over there. Why aren't you asleep yet? Is there something going on?” Isabella asked.

Neera responded vaguely with a “yeah” and began rambling on without making much sense.

As she spoke, she suddenly began to fabricate a story and uttered some rather strange things.

“Hey, Bell, let me ask you something. I have this friend who's been having some issues with her boyfriend recently. And out of the blue, another man has appeared in her life, and there seems to be some sort of connection between them.”

Isabella listened carefully and sighed before asking, “Ah, what's the connection?”

“Well, it's like this... Technically, there's a marriage agreement, but my friend doesn't acknowledge it, nor does she want to fulfill this agreement with that man. The problem now is, because of this man, there's been a misunderstanding between her and her boyfriend. She didn't explain anything, and now her boyfriend is ignoring her. She's not sure if he's angry or what. If you were in this situation, how would you handle it?”
