The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 423
Susan, Roxanne, and Marnie had dropped by and visited Villa No. 2.
As they settled onto the sofas, they scanned the place, taking in the luxurious surroundings.
They had heard of Imperial Gardens before.
This neighborhood was said to be the most luxurious residential area in Kingsview. Its residents weren't just wealthy; they were powerful, influential figures.
Roxanne was unhappy ever since she learned Neera resided in this neighborhood.
The opulence of the villa further deepened her resentment. In comparison, the Garcia residence felt ordinary, even mediocre.
If her family wasn't qualified to live in such grandeur, how on earth did Neera, whom she considered lowly, get to enjoy such lavish comforts?
She was consumed by jealousy, and it drove her nuts.
Susan was no different, her eyes were overflowing with envy.
Marnie, not one to hold back, scoffed loudly, her disdain clear, "Neera knows how to live the high life, doesn't she? Squandering ANXIN Group's money to live in such a palace!"
Adriana scowled at the accusation. She was ready to jump to Neera's defense, but a young voice rang out before she could.
Harvey said, "Mommy bought this house with her own money. She hasn't touched a single cent of ANXIN Group!"
Susan and her daughter were dubious with his words.
"You're lying. How could she afford such a pricey house if she didn't use ANXIN Group's money? What could she possibly have done to earn this much?"
The mother and daughter both wore contemptuous expressions, and their tones were filled with sarcasm.
In defense of their mother, Sammy retorted, "My mommy can do that! You can't compare yourself to her. Even if she didn't spend any of ANXIN Group's money, she would still make a few billion dollars a year, which is nothing for her. Plus, she gets dividends from ANXIN Group's shares. Before you belittle someone, take a look at yourself, okay?
Penny chimed in defiantly, "You're projecting your own limitations onto my mother. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean she can't. Please, don't compare her with you!"
The siblings took turns firing back. Their words dripped with sarcasm and venom.
Roxanne's face flushed with indignation, unable to contain herself, she shot back.
"And you believe boasting about supposed billions means she truly earns that much? At such a young age, you've already mastered the art of lying! It's easy to make claims, but can you prove them? You don't think talking about your dreams will make them come true, do you?
She scolded the kids arrogantly, "I don't know what Neera has been teaching you! It's one thing to talk a lot of crap, but to act rudely toward your elders is another. It's clear where you get your audacity from, the apple truly doesn't fall far from the tree."
When Neera walked into the house, she heard what was going on.
Her expression darkened, and her gaze was cold. She hastily strode into the living room without removing her shoes.
"You speak of apples and trees? So, you're familiar with this saying?" Neera shot back.
"Your mother lacked moral integrity and became a mistress, you have replicated her path. And yet, you're bold enough to cast judgment here?"
She was on the offensive from the start, striking where it hurt most.
Susan and Roxanne's complexion changed drastically, and they were enraged.
"What kind of nonsense are you babbling?"
Neera said indifferently, "Did I say anything wrong? Don't you know how your mother became a Garcia? You show up at my home uninvited and berate my children. Do you have any shame?"
"You!"
Susan and Roxanne were rendered speechless, searching for words to retaliate.
Marnie was indignant. She smacked the sofa's armrest hard and scolded, "Neera, how dare you speak with your elder in such a rude manner!"
"I always speak my mind, you should suck it up!" Neera replied icily, her words sharp, when she confronted Marnie.
The triplets quickly walked over and asked concernedly, "Mommy, are you alright? Why'd you come back so soon?"
Adriana also approached Neera and examined her pale complexion. She asked, "Why didn't you wait for me to pick you up?"
"I didn't feel comfortable staying in the hospital, I needed to be home," Neera replied.
Without turning her head, she shot them a cold look.
She asked, "Do you have any other business here? If not, I suggest you leave. You are not welcome here."
Roxanne was mad, but when she thought about why they were there, she was able to hold back her anger for a while.
She countered, "Do you think I want to come here? If it weren't for picking up Aunt Adriana, I wouldn't have set foot in this place!"
Hearing this, Neera gave a sarcastic grin.
She ridiculed, "Is my house smaller than yours? Do you think my house can't accommodate Aunt Adriana? Is it necessary to create such drama just to fetch her?"
