The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 515
At the same time, Kyra and her mother had also arrived at the cafe, purposely sitting at a nearby table.
A single folding screen couldn't effectively block out sound, so the mother-daughter duo leaned in, their ears perked up to eavesdrop.
On the other hand, the conversation had already begun.
Frederic didn't immediately get to the point; instead, he poured Neera a cup of coffee.
Contrary to that, Neera, in a polite manner, thanked him and initiated the conversation.
"Did you both invite me here for something specific?"
As she asked, Wrenn let out a cold snort, "Don't play dumb. You know exactly what we're here to talk about."
Her tone was sharp, and Frederic cleared his throat and subtly restrained her under the table.
He then proceeded with a gentler tone, explaining their purpose.
"Neera, the reason we brought you here today is mainly to discuss your marriage with Jean."
Neera's brow twitched, but she remained silent.
Frederic continued, "I believe you're aware of our initial stance. Due to your past, we were hesitant to accept you. However, we're not unreasonable people, and we suspected that much of your history was related to the Garcia family. Furthermore, with your exceptional qualities, we eventually agreed to let your marriage with Jean continue. However, we weren't aware that you had three children. This is something that we, as the Beauvort family, cannot accept under any circumstances. I understand that you might not agree with this perspective, but the Beauvort family has its principles, and the bloodline must remain pure. Moreover, Jean, as the current head of the Beauvort family, has even higher expectations for his heir. How can we allow someone else's children to take on that role?"
Pausing for a moment, Frederic lifted a coffee cup, took a few sips, and then continued calmly.
"This is not only our stance, but also the stance of the other elders in the Beauvort family. They cannot allow Jean to raise another person's children, let alone accept non-Beauvort family blood as the heir of the Beauvort estate. Otherwise, Jean would be under immense pressure. I hope you understand this."
Throughout the conversation, Neera remained composed.
She had anticipated this conversation and wasn't surprised by their words.
However, she still felt a bit uneasy deep down...
Suppressing her discomfort, Neera took a breath and addressed the matter calmly.
"So, did you invite me here to secretly inform me about your decision and ask me to bring up the topic of divorce with Jean?"
Frederic shook his head, "We have something else in mind. We'd like to make a deal with you."
This caught Neera off guard for a moment.
Why another deal?
With a slight frown, she asked, "What kind of deal?"
Frederic, adopting a businesslike attitude, laid out their proposition.
"The divorce is inevitable, but we would like you to continue treating Jean's illness. Considering the time he has treated you decently, we're asking you to do your best for him. Of course, in recognition of your good treatment of Jean, we will offer you substantial compensation."
When Neera heard the word "compensation," a flicker of surprise crossed her brow.
Were they trying to throw money at her and dismiss her?
Seemingly perceiving her thoughts, Frederic quickly adjusted his approach.
"Please don't misunderstand. We don't mean to insult you. I understand that, given your current status, you're not lacking in wealth, and that's not our intention. However, we believe in expressing our sincerity. To show our commitment, I can also promise you a batch of rare medicinal herbs. I know you're dedicated to your medical pursuits, and I assume you'd find these quite appealing. What do you think?"
His tone was considerate, and he seemed to anticipate her thoughts, swiftly adjusting his approach.
His demeanor was very accommodating.
He wasn't overbearing or forceful.
Moreover, the fact that he knew Neera's preferences well indicated their level of preparation and sincerity.
Indeed, their intent was crystal clear.
If she were to reject their offer, she might come across as unappreciative.
Amused in her heart, Neera responded with an ambiguous smile.
On the other side, Dandy and Kyra were far from pleased.
"Why should they compensate her? Are they even considering whether she's worthy?"
Kyra murmured under her breath, her tone spiteful.
Dandy chimed in, a note of disdain in her voice, "A woman with illegitimate children, doomed to a lowly fate. She's in no way qualified to step into the doors of the Beauvort family!"
