They watched Adriana walk away. Each wore an expression more hideous than the last.
Even though Gladeon was alright, he was still furrowing his brows.
Adriana's words constantly played back in his mind.
His heart bled because of her speech. He started to reminisce about the short time Neera lived with them and when they met again years later.
His granddaughter, Neera, felt like a stranger.
When he compared Neera with Roxanne, their family favored Roxanne.
This bias caused them to underestimate Neera from the start.
Every time they meet, they either reprimand or scold them. They never showed her any kindness.
Now that Adriana had returned from abroad, the karma had befallen his family.
His own daughter was disappointed by them, and Neera felt worse.
Presumably, she was deeply disappointed with us and has given us up.
While Gladeon was reflecting, the rest of his family didn't share his thoughts.
Alfonso was furious. He fiercely kicked the coffee table.
Meanwhile, Susan and Roxanne felt their hearts sink deeply.
What should they do? Adriana had transferred her shares to Neera. They had gained nothing. The key was that if the Fain family figured this out, they might call off the engagement.
This thought drove Roxanne mad and panicked. She was on the verge of tears.
"Mom, Dad, you have to think of something!"
Susan was heartbroken when her daughter was in distress and in tears.
She quickly comforted her, saying, "Roze, chill. We'll find a way to turn things around."
Having said that, she pleaded, "Mom, you're Adriana's mother. Can't you speak to her and change her mind? Why should Neera get everything and leave Roze with nothing? Isn't Roze just as much fun as Garcia and her niece? This favoritism is incredibly unfair to our Roze!"
Marnie was frustrated and deeply troubled by the situation.
The lines around her eyes deepened with her irritation. With evident dissatisfaction, she remarked, "I understand; I'll speak with her. Regardless of whether I can sway her, we can't allow that b*tch to take everything. We should claim at least half of it!"
Alfonso, who was always greedy, immediately snorted coldly, "Half? That's not enough! We need to take everything from her. She isn't worthy of such wealth!"
...
Neera had no idea that Adriana had quarreled with her family because of her.
That night, she had a good night's sleep.
The next day, it was almost noon when she woke up.
When she went downstairs, she was a little mad with herself for not being able to drop the kids off at school.
Observing this, Auntie Zuniga laughed softly and remarked, "The children know you're exhausted, so they asked me not to wake you up. They wanted you to get some rest. They are truly the most understanding and smart kids I've seen over the years."
Hearing this, Neera also cracked into laughter.
My kids are so considerate and sensible. They are my greatest pride.
Auntie Zuniga quickly walked away to prepare lunch.
Neera seized the opportunity to check Twitter.
Thankfully, all the negative news about her company had disappeared. The topic that contained 'Startales' had gone; it had been replaced by other trending topics.
She had to admit that Star Entertainment Media's action was swift.
They managed to cool down their popularity in such a short time.
From the looks of it, those trolls probably wouldn't target them again.
Neera was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then her eyes landed on the fifth trending topic, #Beauvort Group CEO's True Identity.
She was surprised.
Why did Jean become a hot topic all of a sudden?
Curiosity piqued, she clicked on the link. After browsing for a bit, she finally pieced it together.
It turned out that Star Entertainment Media was about to celebrate its anniversary.
As the leading entertainment company with a plethora of renowned celebrities under its wing, the event always garnered massive attention.
And this year, on their seventh milestone, whispers circulated that Jean would attend the event.
Once the news was published, the internet went into a frenzy.
Who exactly was Jean Beauvort? This enigmatic figure was in the power of Beauvort Group, a business mogul whose fortune spanned trillions. The financial media had once christened him with a plethora of grand titles.
Titles such as 'Most Esteemed Young Aristocrat', 'A Luminary of the Younger Generation', 'a Business Magnate', and the list went on...
However, he always maintained a low profile, never showing his face in public.
His modesty drove people to become more curious about his appearance.
