The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 497

Jean put his phone away. He looked as though nothing happened.

The next day, the Internet was bustling with activity since the early morning.

The top trending spots were occupied by several pieces of sensational news.

The top article was titled "Rare Sighting of Mr. Beauvort at Star Entertainment's Annual Gala!" followed by the word "SHOCKING" in all capital letters.

The reason why it was in the number one spot was because of a blurry side profile picture of Jean.

Everyone knew that Jean did not like his face exposed in public. That had been true since back then.

Even if some reporters managed to take a clear picture of him, they would not dare to publish it.

In any case, the blurry photo was already enough to appease the readers.

"He looks so handsome even when the photo is blurry. I wonder how he looks in real life?"

"Oh, he's rich, powerful, capable, and handsome! I'm in love!"

"He's so handsome and manly. I want to marry him!"

Before the readers could calm down, the second piece of news sent their dreams crashing.

It read, "CEO of Beauvort Group Has a Girlfriend!"

The readers quickly clicked the link and read the article. They wanted to see who dared to lay claim to their idol's heart.

The photo was once again blurry. One could see that there was a man and a woman, but that was about it.

The readers felt cheated.

"This is clickbait! Where's the proof?"

"I don't believe my idol is already taken!"

"Do you know that it's a sin to lie?"

"Reported!"

The journalists who wrote the article felt aggrieved.

If they had published a clear photo, they would have easily received a hundred times the traffic, but they didn't want Beauvort Group to bankrupt them!

The article in the third spot was also very sensational.

"Sasha Javer and Ms. Garcia of Startales. Very Good Friends or Sisters?"

This time, the photo was not blurry. It was of Sasha and Neera standing on the stage together.

"Sasha, my idol, I want to lick your feet! Ms. Garcia is very beautiful too!"

"Wow! Who cares about Mr. Beauvort? I want them both!"

"Sasha Javer and Neera Garcia! This pairing is canon!"

"Supported!"

Half an hour later, many fans had shipped Sasha and Neera together.

While everyone was swooning over the new couple, a voice of reason appeared.

"Why did Ms. Garcia attend the annual gala?"

The question started another round of discussion and speculation.

"Startales and Star Entertainment Media are working together. It's not surprising if Ms. Garcia is there, isn't it?"

"I don't think it's just that…"

"Pay attention to the woman in Mr. Beauvort's photo. If you zoom in and look closely, isn't Ms. Garcia wearing the same gown as Mr. Beauvort's 'girlfriend'?"

"Now that you mention it, I think it's the same person! Ms. Garcia does carry the demeanor that screams 'I'm Mr. Beauvort's girlfriend!'"

"Damn, you're amazing! How did you even see that?"

No one managed to conclude, but that did not stop them from talking about it.

After those three headlines, the fourth piece of news had less than 20 percent of the traffic.

The news about Kyra joining Star Entertainment Media was at number five.

Kyra was so angry that she nearly blew her top when she saw the news in the morning. All the anger from last night surfaced again.



Back at the Imperial Gardens, after Neera woke up and went downstairs, she saw the triplets huddled around a tablet computer.

"What are you looking at? It's still so early," she asked curiously.

The triplets chirped, "Mommy, look! You and Uncle Jean are trending!"

Neera was surprised to see what the media had to say about Jean and her.

In any case, she did not care about blind speculation, and she guessed the hype would die down in a couple of days.

She did not care what the others said about her or Jean.

The triplets, however, were not very satisfied.

They wished their Daddy and Mommy would publicly announce their relationship.

"Look Mommy, many female celebrities are sharing the article on Uncle Jean. They probably think they stand a chance!"
