The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 121

Isabella was surprised to hear Neera’s confident tone, “How are you so sure?”

Neera was giggling now as she answered her, “I was the one who fed him those powders. He would turn into a cripple no matter what, so of course, I know.”

She corrected herself as if remembering something, “I shouldn’t say that the effect would definitely be permanent, but the powder that I fed him would turn him into a man who can never be normal again!”

Isabella was shocked to learn this.

“Wait a minute. What is going on? Why do you mean that you’re the culprit here?”

Neera summarized what had happened in the past few days to her.

Isabella was overcome with shock and eventually rage the more she learned of what had happened. She slammed the table hard and roared, “How can the Garcias be so shameless? They threatened you with the triplets’ lives! Do they not fear retribution at all? Your father is really a funny man. He wants a life of wealth yet he didn’t want to lose his daughter to another family. Is he so delusional to the point that he thinks that everything good in the world would happen to him?”

After cursing the Garcia family, she turned her wrath to Zachary again, “Zachary is also a terrible jerk! It’s a shame for me to even utter his name! He coerced Roxanne behind your back and denied that he was going to marry you publicly. The fact that he was working in tandem with Roxanne was such a huge slap to your face. However, how can he bring himself to come back to you again after all that? He really has no sense of dignity at all.”

Neera replied casually, “He saw me when I bought my car last time and mistakenly thought that some wealthy man is taking care of me now. That is why he treated me like a prostitute, thinking that money could buy my service.”

Isabella felt disgusted at that notion.

“Can he be even more vile than he is right now? Why are there men like him in this world? He is really a match made in heaven with Roxanne. One of them is an immoral jerk, and the other is a shameless b*tch. They are really so evil and revolting that I don’t even want to imagine them in my mind!”

Neera recalled that night in the hotel room and thought that it was really an unpleasant memory.

She quickly changed the topic, “How is that patient now? Is he recovering well?”

Isabella tried to steady her breath before replying, “He’s making a good recovery, but there’s one sticky situation going on right now. Ever since knowing that Dr. Nancy was the one treating him, people have been flocking to the hospital just for you.”

Neera felt that this was not a good development, “Then, are you still able to take on the crowd?”

Isabella replied, “We are doing okay for now, but if the patient is in a chronic or critical condition, we might need your service again. We are just worried that we have to keep troubling you…”

Neera dismissed her worries, “Don’t worry about that. I will head there two times a week. You can arrange for three surgeries in a month, and I will try my best to squeeze some time to help you.”

Isabella was touched by Neera’s kind thoughts. She marveled at her, “Neera, you are the best to me…”

The following day, Neera sent the triplets to the kindergarten after breakfast.

She watched them enter the compound safely before leaving. However, instead of going home, she went to Adriana’s branch.

The name of the company was called Startales. It mainly focused on make-up and skincare products. It was popular among the public.

Levi was the manager here.

He was young and handsome, and he had impeccable manners. He was really a soothing presence.

Levi used to cooperate with Neera back when she was still overseas.

Now that she was coming, he came to welcome her personally. He always had that bright smile plastered on his face.

“Neera, long time no see. I heard that you’re back. I wanted to fetch you from the airport and treat you to a meal, but I was worried that it might be too sudden. I believed you had many things to tend to since it has been so long, so I did not get in touch immediately.”

Neera acknowledged him but she did not give him any significant response.

She was not very experienced in the relationships department, but she was not too far behind.

Levi had feelings for her, but the same could not be said about her.

She always maintained a professional stance whenever she worked with him, “You don’t need to bring me around for some food. I did have some things to settle after coming back, but things are getting back on track now, so I don’t have much time on my hands.”

Then, she cut straight into the main topic, the reason that she was here today, “I am here to talk about the make-up department. The stocks are almost here, right? Is the company setting up any sales counters anytime soon?”
