The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 134

Neera couldn't help but burst into laughter at Zachary's words. "What's the matter? Weren't you capable just now? Breaking into someone else's room in the middle of the night, and now you're scared?"

Her gaze was filled with disdain, which only fueled Zachary's anger, making his blood rush to his head.

"You wench, spare me your nonsense! Hand over the antidote now, or I'll make you regret it!" he shouted, his face turning red with rage.

Neera's stunning face looked even colder, and she regarded him with contempt. "Looks like you lack self-awareness. When asking for help, you should be more humble. If you want the antidote, you better get down on your knees and bow three times to show some sincerity."

"You—!!"

With a mocking smile, Neera replied, "Too bad, I don't have the antidote. Even if you begged on your knees until they bled, I wouldn't be able to help."

Saying that, she turned to leave.

Zachary was fuming, his face flushed with anger and his eyes filled with rage.

"Dare to play games with me, Neera Garcia? You're asking for trouble!"

Through clenched teeth, he reached out to grab her.

Neera swiftly slapped away his hand, her expression turning fierce. "Don't touch me!"

Her look of disgust only fueled Zachary's anger, and he lost all restraint, his tone becoming menacing.

"You lowlife, pretending to be innocent? You were played by everyone years ago and now you're acting all pure and naive. Do you think I'm a fool? Let me tell you, if you don't hand over the antidote today, you won't take a single step out of here!"

His eyes were horrifyingly intense, bloodshot veins visible in the corners, making him look terrifying.

"You dares to lay a hand on me, then I'll make sure you regret it!"

After his outburst, he didn't hesitate to grab Neera's wrist and dragged her forcefully toward the end of the corridor.

Not only that, but he also called his assistant, his voice filled with anger. "Get a few guys up here right now! I'm in the mood to have some fun!"

The future events were easy to predict.

Neera felt both angry and disgusted, struggling with all her might, but her efforts were futile against Zachary's strength. She warned him sternly, her voice unwavering.

"Zachary Fain, if you want to keep your hand, let go now!"

Zachary's rage clouded his judgment, and he sneered continuously.

"What? Are you planning to use your powder on me? Go ahead then! Scared? I'd love to see what tricks you, a wench like you, can come up with this time!"

Seeing Zachary act like a mad dog, Neera's face darkened, and her teeth clenched tightly.

Indeed, she still had some powder on her, but it would be useless against Zachary's crippled body.

As Zachary tried to pull her into the elevator, Neera's heart sank, and her eyes showed a fierce determination.

Just as she was about to make her move, a sudden force pulled her other hand, dragging her in the opposite direction.

She turned her head in surprise and found Jean standing there.

Jean's gaze was cold and sharp, his eyes fixed on Zachary like blades...

He had originally intended to go back, but as he stepped outside, he noticed the commotion in the corridor.

The figure was all too familiar, and upon a closer look, he realized that Neera was being harassed.

Considering their current relationship, he couldn't just stand by, so he rushed over.

Seeing Neera's relief at his arrival, she called out to him, "You're here! Help me, please!"

Zachary also felt the strong resistance, and upon seeing Jean, he felt a hint of recognition. Wasn't this the little nobody he encountered at the hospital?

An insignificant person without status or background dared to play a hero in front of me?

What a joke!

Zachary didn't take Jean seriously at all. His anger flared even higher, and he arrogantly shouted, "Where did this blind fool come from? How dare he meddle in my affairs? If you don't want trouble, get the hell out of here!"
