Robin knitted his brows, giving him a sidelong glance. “Can you stop making a fuss every time something happens? When will you ever change this temper of yours?”
Baxter sneered, “As long as the Gordon family doesn't return to its rightful hands, I won't have a moment's peace!”
Neera closed her eyes, unable to suppress the rage burning within her chest any longer. It scorched her, making her body feel hot all over, her blood boiling in her veins.
A few seconds later, she opened her eyes. Her beautiful pupils were chillingly cold, and her delicate features were veiled with a layer of frost.
Her gaze was fixed intently on Baxter, sharp and piercing. She began to speak slowly, her tone even, yet carrying an oppressive force that brooked no argument. “Based on the fact that I am the head of the Gordon family, the district president, I have the right to send whoever I want. Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to question my decisions here? What makes you think you have the right to disagree? Consider your own status. You're not even the head of the Gordon family yet. If you want to overrule me, wait until you take my position. Only by then you can make a fuss!”
In just a few words, her entire demeanor had changed. She became assertive and proud, and her eyes held a cold indifference that seemed to look down on everything.
Baxter was taken aback, his mouth half-open, stunned by her sudden shift in momentum. For a moment, he found himself unable to utter a single word.
Neera's gaze remained icy and ruthless, yet the corners of his mouth suddenly lifted slightly. However, there wasn't a trace of amusement in his eyes. Instead, they reflected a hint of mockery and ridicule. “For those who reason, I can treat them with respect and measured words. But for those who are unreasonable, foolish, and ignorant, to reason with them is a waste of time and breath. Mr. Baxter, even if you're dissatisfied, you'll have to hold it in. If you still feel wronged or resentful, then don't go. The Gordon family won't be affected by your presence or absence. There are plenty of capable people available.”
Baxter was dumbfounded, his face alternating between shades of green and red, like a knocked-over palette. It was quite a spectacle.
He had never taken such a big hit before. He was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Yet, when Neera spoke, every word carried an undeniable force.
He had no doubt that if he dared to utter another word and upset her, she would truly replace him immediately.
With that knowledge in mind, even if he was so angry he was about to explode, he could only swallow his pride and hold his breath.
Seeing him finally quiet down, Neera let out a scoff, neither light nor heavy, full of mockery.
Afterward, she turned her head to look at Robin. Her expression softened a bit, her tone became more gentle, and she explained things to him in a polite manner, “Handling such matters is a piece of cake for Jean. I can vouch for hi
