The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 445

Adriana asked in puzzlement, "What does this have to do with him?"

"Well, he's been keeping his eyes on this for the past few days."

Neera explained Jean's contribution in detail.

"Oh! He has contributed quite a bit," Adriana couldn't help but praise.

"This young man is quite adept at getting things done. It's worth your effort to treat his illness and save his mother. This proves that he is of decent character."

Neera giggled when her aunt complimented Jean.

The two continued to chat for a while before Adriana left to attend to other matters.

Now that she had some free time, Neera gave Star Entertainment Media a call.

Larry promptly picked up the call and spoke politely, "Hello, Ms. Garcia."

Neera smiled and said, "Mr. Mcdonagh, I'd like to ask for a favor. You have read the news about Tilda, right? Currently, public opinion is in favor of Startales. As a precaution, I'd like you to monitor the follow-up."

Even though Tilda had been arrested, the scheme and the mastermind that orchestrated the whole thing might have made other moves that resulted in the situation spiraling out of control.

Her company was inferior in terms of media manipulation; therefore, she had to rely on Star Entertainment Media's assistance.

Jean had given his instructions to fully support Startales.

Larry gladly agreed with her request.

He gave a gentle smile and said, "Rest assured. I've got this under control. I'll instruct my team to monitor the situation closely. We've dealt with those internet ghostwriters, and the truth has come to light. They won't pose any more threats."

Neera expressed her gratitude, and then her thoughts drifted to Sasha. She asked casually, "By the way, Sasha wasn't affected, was she?"

Earlier, Sasha had been unjustly dragged into the mess. She had made trending searches with those harsh criticisms.

Neera felt the need to extend her apologies.

Upon hearing this, Larry turned his gaze to Sasha, who was leisurely lounging on a couch, engrossed in her game.

He twitched his mouth a little and said, "She's doing just fine. You don't have to worry about her!"

Sasha had a strong mentality. She was the kind who wouldn't be fazed even if the sky was falling; nothing could distract her from playing her game.

When she realized they were talking about her, Sasha put down her phone and walked over to speak with Neera.

"Ms. Garcia, I appreciate the concern, but truly, I'm doing just fine."

Sasha's gleeful tone amused Neera.

She crackled in laughter and remarked, "You do sound like you're doing fine, but I still owe you an apology. It wasn't right for you to get dragged down into this mess."

"Thank me? For what?" Neera asked in confusion.

"Yup!" Sasha chirped, "Thanks to this whole scandal, I'm more popular. Those who bad mouthed me are now eating their words. My popularity has skyrocketed. Plus, I've always had confidence in Startales products. It never affected me."

Neera laughed softly, responding, "While I appreciate your trust in our brand, I'd rather you didn't have to gain attention this way. Someone as talented as you should be recognized for your skills."

"Seriously, it doesn't matter to me," Sasha genuinely did not give a damn about this.

Others might not be aware of the powerful backing Neera had, but Sasha was fully aware of it.

Who knows? Perhaps one day she might become the wife of my boss! So, riding her coattails could certainly pay off.

After several exchanges, they ended the call.

Adriana returned to the office shortly, urging Neera to go home. She said, "It's getting late; you need to rest."

She realized it was already past ten in the evening.

The city was cloaked in darkness, illuminated by its shimmering lights.

"Are you staying at Garcia's residence tonight?" she asked Adriana.

Adriana nodded in response, saying, "Uh-huh, I am."

Something came to her mind when they talked about this. She sneered, "While you were out this afternoon, Roxanne and Zachary dropped by."

Neera frowned at the mention of the pair. She asked, "Why are they here?"

"What else could it be? They had to show some 'concern' when this incident involving Startales erupted. However, I didn't let them into the office."

Adriana's expression was one of mockery.

Neera scoffed in response. She didn't give it much thought and went downstairs with Adriana.

The two bid their farewells at the company entrance and were ready to part ways.

Someone suddenly yelled, "Aunt Adriana."
