The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 275

With her chin high, Neera left after speaking her mind.

Roxanne was rooted to the floor. Her expression was beyond ugly. The same could be said about Susan.

Alfonso’s brows were furrowed. He was cursing silently at Adriana. What a ridiculous development he had just heard!

He would never allow the ANXIN Group to fall into Neera’s hands!

This applied to Startales too. He could not allow both of them to fall into Neera’s hands. In the end, he should be the one to take over those companies!

The air was still heavy when Susan suddenly turned to the Fain family. She could not help but urge them.

"Mr. Fain, are we still going to talk about Roxanne and Zachary’s marriage?"

Upon hearing that, Harley put on a smile once again and regained his composure.

"Of course, we have to talk about that. That’s the reason we are all here today. Since Zachary and Roxanne have been in love for the past two years, the time is ripe for them to tie the knot. Let’s go into the suite and talk."

Harley and Alfonso briefly discussed their marriage, and they came to an agreement. Their marriage was to be held three months later.

After dinner, when Zachary got into his car, his expression shifted drastically. He asked Harley, "Dad, do you really want me to marry Roxanne? You heard it from Neera just now. Adriana is passing down her assets to Neera. Neera was holding on to even more wealth compared to the Garcia family, even though it was only part of all the assets that she was about to inherit from Adriana. This is true even if we put aside the fact that Adriana is still holding on to other companies and equities. Based on what I saw just now, Adraina would never pass down any of her wealth to the Garcia family. What use is there for me to marry Roxanne if that’s the case?"

Qaylah looked like something was on her mind right now.

"He has a point. Our end goal is to expand our businesses overseas. Based on the current situation in the Garcia family, we can’t rely on them if we want to fulfill our ambitions. If things continue to go down the drain for them, we are lucky if they don’t drag us down, let alone help us. Perhaps it’s a bad idea to let Zachary marry Roxanne."

Harley did not anticipate such a development at all.

He only proposed the meet-up today based on the fact that, in law, Adriana was still part of the Garcia family.

Initially, he thought that blood was thicker than water.

If something bad happened to the Garcia family, Adraina would not hesitate to help them. She would become the most reliable pillar of the Garcia family.

However, after what Neera said, it made him realize how naive he was!

It seemed that Adriana and the Garcia family were not going to establish any kind of business connection other than that they were relatives by name.

However, he had to play his cards carefully.

"Let’s not jump to conclusions here, shall we? We won’t know how this will play out. Alfonso is not going to get bullied, and he won't just do nothing. He would never allow Adriana’s wealth to fall solely into Neera’s hands. He might even be brainstorming to come up with something to stop Adraina as we speak!"

After a pause, he said, "About you and Roxanne, the only thing set in stone is the date of your marriage. We still have three months until that day. We can still keep an eye on the development of things, and if things do not go in our favor, we can still halt the wedding or cancel it completely."

When Zachary heard that, he looked much more relaxed than before.

Qaylah could not resist asking Zachary about his feelings when she saw how relieved he was at the moment.

"I thought you really liked Roxanne, but why do I get the feeling that you’re actually into Neera? Are you telling me that you’re falling for him as we speak?"

Upon hearing that, Zachary began to imagine Neera’s pretty face and perfect figure. His eyes narrowed as he felt a sense of lust and longing for her.

He had to admit that he was now regretting everything that had happened in the past.

How could he allow Neera to escape his grasp? He should have enjoyed Neera to the fullest before letting her go. It was such a waste to let her go!

After Neera returned to the country, her personality underwent a massive transformation as well. She was no longer that dumb, naive girl who would believe everything he said!

Seeing that Zachary did not answer her, Qaylah frowned and decided to give him a piece of advice.

"Let me make this clear to you. No matter who you end up with in the future, you will not get together with that b*tch. Don’t forget that she’s just a toy that guys would have fun with! Even if we need to join forces with the ANXIN Group in the future, your only goal in approaching her is to make use of her resources. You can’t seriously fall for her no matter what, and you will abandon her after we reach our goals. I will never allow someone as deplorable as that woman to enter the Fain family. Do you understand?"
