The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 499

In the Garcia family residence, Roxanne could not stop complaining.

"How can Aunt Adriana be so heartless? She didn't even give Zachary a chance to negotiate. How are we supposed to maintain a good relationship with the Fain family?"

The more she complained, the angrier she got. She could not forget the withering gaze Zachary gave her before he left.

"The Fain family must be angry at Aunt Adriana now. I could sense that Zachary had been cold to me before, but if this goes on, he's not going to marry me!" Roxanne said.

Susan felt sorry for her daughter. "Calm down, Roxanne. Things haven't gotten to that point yet…"

"It'll be too late if that happens!" Roxanne shrieked hoarsely.

Seeing that she could not convince her daughter, Susan turned her head to her parents.

"Dad, Mom, don't just sit there. Think of something! Adriana would rather help outsiders than help us. Alfonso is facing financial troubles, and it won't take too long before our family is bankrupt! It'll be great if we can get some help from ANXIN Group. We have to convince Adriana to help us. We're family after all!"

Marnie gritted her teeth hatefully. "That must be the work of Neera, that little b*tch! If it comes down to it, we'll grab her and force her to hand the company to us!"

Gladeon thought for a while and shook his head. "No. This won't work."

Marnie glared at him unhappily. "Why? Don't tell me you're on the side of that little b*tch too?"

Gladeon shot a side eye at her. "What are you saying? I mean, Neera doesn't believe us now. If you want to force her, you're only going to make things worse. We have to think of some other way."

Susan widened her eyes in delight. "Do you mean you've thought of another way?"

Gladeon was silent for a while before saying, "Maybe we can get Adriana to convince Neera to give a subsidiary company to the Garcia family. From there, we can plan to take over ANXIN Group."

"I don't agree!" Roxanne said almost immediately.

Susan was also on Roxanne's side.

"Even if you manage to convince Aunt Adriana, I'm not going to settle for just a subsidiary! Also… no one can tell what will happen in the future."

Susan and Roxanne were greedy. Alfonso was the same.

He said menacingly, "I think Mom has a point. We should try to force Neera to hand over the company. If it fails, we'll follow Dad's plan."

"That settles it!" Marnie said.

Gladeon did not agree to it, but he knew he could not convince them, so he let them do whatever he wanted.



In the afternoon, Neera was focused on her work.

At three o'clock, Katy came into her office. "The general manager of Fain Enterprises is here. He wants to meet you."

Neera was not too surprised. "I'm not meeting him. Tell him to f*ck off. You can quote me on this."

Katy went away and relayed Neera's instructions to the receptionist.

Zachary's face immediately sank. "Did you tell her who I am?"

The receptionist remained professional. "I've relayed your identity and status to Ms. Garcia, and she has made it very clear she doesn't want to see you."

Zachary was about to blow his top. He had the urge to barge into Neera's office.

However, he could see that the receptionist was looking at him warily, so all he could do was grit his teeth and leave.

Back in his car, he tore off his necktie and looked at the office building.

It won't be so easy to get rid of me!

In the evening, Neera finished her tasks on hand and prepared to go to the triplets' kindergarten.

Zachary intercepted her at the parking lot.

"You must be a busy woman, Neera. Can't you even spare me a few minutes?"

Zachary had been seething since earlier. He could not help but be sarcastic when he saw Neera.

Neera took two steps back to keep her distance from him. There was only disdain and impatience in her eyes.

"Did you get my message? Why haven't you f*cked off yet?" she said coldly. "I will never cooperate with Fain Enterprises. Don't even think about it!"
