The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1297
When news of this incident reached Wind Chime Island, it was already the following day.
Neera was taken aback by Ian's report, causing her to drop the spoon she was holding back into the bowl.
"Didn't we agree to leave Phoebe alone for now? Why did you..." She looked at Jean, a hint of worry in her eyes, afraid that the Cox family might harm him.
Jean calmly wiped the cereal that had splashed onto her hand, soothing her with a calm and warm voice as if nothing had happened.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. For your sake, I didn't take her life, but only disabled her arm. It's not a major issue."
Oh my... Her arm is disabled, yet he claims it's not a big deal...
Neera was both anxious and worried, yet also perplexed.
"Why is it that everything seems so insignificant when you talk about it? She is, after all, the daughter of the Cox family. I'm concerned that the Cox family might cause trouble for you. I don't want to involve you in this."
How could Jean not understand what she was thinking?
"Rest assured. If I have the ability to intervene, I also have the ability to handle the consequences. This matter is fundamentally the Cox family's fault. Phoebe wanted to harm you, and if it escalates into a dispute between the families, it means the Cox family intends to be enemies with the Gordon family. Currently, the Cox family still needs the Gordon family's help. The Gordon family is powerful now, and anyone with a brain in the Cox family wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. So, in the end, this is just Phoebe reaping what she has sown. By not taking her life, I am giving the Cox family enough respect."
That was indeed the case. Neera pursed her lips, still feeling a bit uneasy.
"I feel that Mr. Albert of the Cox family is not easy to deal with. I'm afraid this matter won't be resolved easily. I don't want him to trouble you because of this, nor do I want him to cause problems for Mr. Avery."
Jean chuckled lightly. "Do you think he has the audacity to pick a fight with Avery? He should be grateful if Avery doesn't put him in his place."
However, from what he knew, Albert was not a reasonable person, and it was quite possible that he would do something shameless.
"But what of it? If Avery, as the head of the family, can't even handle such a trivial matter, then he might as well not be the head at all."
As for him, he didn't care at all whether it was troublesome or not.
At this moment, Harvey swallowed the food in his mouth and made a few remarks about the matter.
"Mommy, actually Daddy is handling this very well, so you don't need to worry about him getting into trouble at all."
The little boy was quite mature in his thinking, showing wisdom. He could logically understand many adult matters and analyze them meticulously. He was indeed a very insightful child.
Upon hearing this, Neera gave him a chance to elaborate, "What do you mean?"
Seeing the whole family looking at him, the little one seemed a bit shy. He straightened up and expressed his opinion clearly and confidently.
"Even though Phoebe acted against you due to a personal grudge, she is still a member of the Cox family, and you represent the Gordon family. This inevitably involves the interests of both families. As the head of the Gordon family, any harm she does to you is seen as harming the Gordon family. In a way, it shows that she doesn't respect the Gordon family."
"If you don't take some countermeasures and just keep enduring it no matter what the reason, you are considered weak and can be bullied in the eyes of the Cox family. This will only make them more reckless, thinking they can do whatever they want to you. They will look down on you even more, and they will also disrespect the Gordon family."
"So, it's not the best approach if you choose to do nothing and remain silent. Acting like Daddy is the wisest course of action. He has punished Phoebe and let the Cox family know that you're angry and that this matter is unforgivable. But at the same time, it shows the Cox family that out of respect for Mr. Cox, and considering the good relations between the Cox and Gordon families, you're willing to give the Cox family some respect, or rather, a chance. This not only demonstrates your authority but also showcases your magnanimity and how you have taken the bigger picture into consideration."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Sammy and Penny began to clap, their faces full of admiration.
"Harvey, you're so amazing!"
Jean also laughed with pride in his eyes. It was as if he was just short of declaring... This boy is worthy of being my son!
"Harvey, you're right, and your thoughts are very thorough. You are so young, but you have such a perspective. Daddy is proud of you," he praised generously.
Neera was also very delighted as she patted his head and showered him with praises.
"Our dear Harvey has really grown up. He is so sensible, understanding, and very wise too. You're definitely a promising talent for the future. Mommy is quite impressed with you."
Harvey was showered with praises from the whole family, and his joy was beyond words. His face turned slightly red, and he tried to contain his happiness, curving his lips into a restrained smile. Yet, he couldn't hide the laughter in his eyes.
After giving his words some thought, Neera agreed that it was indeed the case, and her mind was put at ease.
...
Meanwhile, the Cox family was far from peaceful. In fact, the atmosphere was quite tense.
Phoebe, who was wearing a hat, lay on the bed, crying incessantly.
The family doctor shook his head helplessly as he explained the situation to the elders present truthfully.
"There's no other solution. This is a complex fracture, so her right arm will never recover."
Upon hearing these words, Phoebe's crying abruptly stopped, and her face turned as pale as paper.
Albert nearly fainted.
Both elders, Rio and Ronald, furrowed their brows, but didn't react much.
Before Luna left, she distributed copies of Nicholas's and the others' testimonies, along with various pieces of evidence, to every room.
After the Cox family woke up, they all found out about Phoebe's malicious actions.
Upon learning about Phoebe's actions, Rio and Ronald were at their wit's end. They hurriedly made their way to her bedroom, only to discover the distressing state she was in.
Neera was taken aback by Ian's report, causing her to drop the spoon she was holding back into the bowl.
