The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1134
Shane immediately furrowed his brows, expressing his displeasure quite bluntly, “Why hasn't any preparation been made for the successor of the family head?”
It seemed as if Baxter had been waiting for him to ask that question. He let out a contemptuous sneer, and without further ado, he sneered provocatively, “Ha! The head of the family is absent from the family's meeting. Instead, a successor pops up. Do you take us for fools? Also, this is the Gordon family. Naturally, the successor should bear the Gordon family name and be part of the Gordon family. If you're referring to this little girl beside you, then I'm sorry, we don't acknowledge her!”
Shane didn't seem annoyed at all. He immediately laughed and uttered prevaricatingly.
“Granduncle Baxter, you seem to have forgotten the rules our Gordon family's ancestors set. The head of the family is the one we follow stoically, and his word is law. Uncle Chad personally announced Neera as the successor of the Gordon family. You were present when he said it. Surely, you haven't forgotten so quickly?”
“Shane, is it your place as a younger member of the family to speak here?” At that moment, Troy spoke up, his voice laced with mockery as he rebuked Shane. “Moreover, we should all accept it just because you say she is? Even if Chad has announced it, what does it matter? He didn't make the announcement in front of the entire Gordon family. He didn't even show his face when returning to Phison, let alone personally bring her back for everyone to meet. Who knows if it was just a joke, or perhaps this girl is just pretending in order to get her hands on the Gordon family's power and wealth?”
Ollie sneered disdainfully. “Indeed. Has it come to this? Can any Tom, Dick, or Harry become the head of our family now?”
As soon as those words were spoken, several people nearby started to chuckle. The mockery in their laughter was clear.
Neera glanced around, guessing that those who were laughing at her were probably Baxter's followers.
As for those who remained silent, they were all part of Robin's faction.
Although the people of this faction did not kick her while she was down at that moment, Neera knew they were all scrutinizing her.
Everything was just as she had anticipated. If she continued to hide behind Shane that day without showing any initiative to prove her worth, she feared she wouldn't be able to secure her position. I shall cut to the chase in this case.
Under everyone's watchful gazes, she reached into her bag and pulled out the token Chad gave her. Then, she tossed it directly onto the coffee table with a thud. “Before I came here, Uncle Chad gave me this token. He said that seeing this token is just like seeing him in person. Surely, you all wouldn't fail to recognize this token, would you?”
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone fell silent, each person staring at the token with different expressions.
The face of Baxter, which was just sneering a moment ago, now looked unpleasant.
“Hmph! He sure is thoughtful. But you, a young girl not even of our Gordon family, do you even have the audacity to sit at the head of our family meeting?”
Neera straightened her back, a slight smile playing at the corners of her lips.
“I know I wasn't supposed to be in this position originally, but since Uncle Chad entrusted me with the role of successor, I cannot let him down. I understand that many of you are unhappy and feel unjust, but the fact is the fact. Even if you refuse to accept it, you have no choice but to do so. Since I dare to come here today, I'm already mentally prepared. Why not voice out your thoughts? Let's be straightforward. Whether you want to fight or discuss, I'm ready for anything...”
Her tone wasn't particularly solemn when she uttered those words, and her expression didn't change much either.
Yet, her aura was completely different. She exuded the pride of someone who had long held a superior position, leaving everyone present taken aback.
Upon hearing her words, Robin, who had been sitting silently in his chair, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her. This little lass may look small and frail, but unexpectedly, she's quite courageous. As expected... After all, she is the one chosen by Chad. At the very least, she possesses this bit of formidable aura.

Author uses too many words to describe useless things and then don't clarify others, who is this aunts friend. Neere went to play golf with who?...
Why is she keeping so many secrets from Jean?...

Chapter 328, did Alfonso not meet Jeann before, how does he not recognise him huh...
I'm a bit confused, does Roxanna not know that her sister is married..this chapter makes it look like she doesn't know but they already went to Jean for money huh...
