Jean's gaze grew darker with every word.
He could tell that Ian had more to say.
"Are you saying the reason for Neera's misery is Roxanne Garcia and Zachary Fain's schemes?"
Ian nodded straightforwardly. "That is indeed the case. Think about it. When Ms. Garcia returned to the Garcia family, she became one of the legitimate heirs. Roxanne, who had always been part of the household, had been pampered and spoiled from the start. And now, there's suddenly someone else competing with her for the position. Of course, she wouldn't be happy. She must've been worried about her position being threatened …"
"Also, it's no secret how Ms. Garcia's stepmother climbed her way to the top in Kingsview. When you think about it, it becomes possible that the downfall of Ms. Garcia's reputation was part of a well-planned conspiracy!"
He analyzed the situation thoroughly and then concluded with caution, "Of course, this is all my speculation. There's still no evidence."
Despite there being no proof, Jean was convinced that the truth wasn't far off from Ian's speculations.
He and Neera hadn't known one another for long but he could more or less figure out a few things about the woman.
He could tell that she wasn't a reckless person.
She might appear calm and indifferent on the surface, but she was quite conservative at heart.
She was also shy when he applied the ointment for her …
He couldn't help but sigh at the thought.
His parents had caused quite a scene tonight. They had offended her.
He felt guilty. He gave a directive to Ian after mulling it over, "Once Neera is done with shooting the advertisement, have the publicity department Star Entertainment Media approach her for a collaboration. Have them offer her promotional channels and platforms."
The Beauvort Group's publicity was top-notch within the country.
Ian received his instructions but couldn't help but complain to himself.
Jean had been so particular about signing a sales agreement with Neera. Look how he was meticulously paving the way for her!
Neera's company's products were bound to explode in popularity!
…
Neera felt ill after she returned. She had frankly grown indifferent to the events of the past and cared little for the opinions of others.
She faced the old smear campaigns and false accusations leveled against her with calm disregard when she returned.
She, however, felt discomfort when seeing Jean's parents denouncing her and accusing her of being a "slut" …
It was a feeling like no other.
Why was it that when faced with people or matters related to Jean, she wasn't as composed as she usually was?
She kicked a tiny pebble at her feet in frustration. She didn't want to think about it anymore than she had to and simply put the matter behind her as she entered the home.
To her surprise, Isabella had come to visit and was currently playing with the little ones.
Neera was a bit taken aback and hurried over. "When did you get here? Why didn't you give me a call?"
Isabella sat Penny down and answered casually, "I just got here. I don't have much going on anyway. Why not wait a little?"
"It's a little late to be over though. Is there something you need?" Neera asked.
Isabella hesitated, glanced at the three little ones, and gave a vague answer, "There's is something. Let's talk outside."
She smiled and had the children play by themselves while dragging Neera outside.
Neera couldn't help but find the situation amusing. "What's going on? What can't you say in front of the kids? You're acting so mysterious."
The two women reached a pavilion and sat across from each other on the stone benches. Isabella's expression turned serious and said, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Neera was taken aback. "What do I have to hide from you?"
Her reaction only deepened Isabella's frown.
"You still won't tell me the truth! There have been rumors among the upper class about how the newlywed wife of the Beauvort family is immoral, promiscuous, and has affairs with other men. At first, I thought they were talking about Roxanne, but later I found out it was about you. What's going on here? How did you end up marrying into the Beauvort family? What's with all these ridiculous rumors? Why didn't you tell me when you were in trouble?"
