The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 672

The Beauvort family assembly was held at the Beauvort Manor the following day.

Luxury cars were parked at the entrance early in the morning.

All the family members and relatives who had shares in Beauvort Group attended the meeting.

Everyone arrived soon in the meeting hall.

The maids served them tea while they exchanged greetings.

They quieted down when the meeting was about to start. The atmosphere was solemn.

Jean sat in the seat of the host as he was the Head of the Beauvort family. He looked calm and collected in an imposing manner.

Frederic sat on his left.

The atmosphere should be lively because this was like a family gathering, but everyone was eyeing Jean’s position. They were waiting to pick Jean’s fault and drag him down.

In the oppressive atmosphere, Jean finally spoke.

“It’s a rare occasion for everyone to gather here for the family assembly. If you have any opinions or suggestions on the Beauvort Group’s operations for the past quarter, you can speak your mind freely.”

Everyone looked at each other while harboring their plans.

They were divided into three groups.

First, those who firmly supported Jean and Federic.

Second, the ones who remained neutral. Two uncles who were highly respected by everyone were in this group.

Third, a group led by Clarence. They wanted to overthrow Jean and support Clarence to be the Head of the Beauvort family.

The first to speak were those who supported Jean.

“I think that the current policies and operations are very much in line with the development of the Beauvort Group. I don’t have any comments on it.”

“Neither do I. As long as we implement the same ways in the future, it will only bring good to Beauvort Group.”

"Jean, Beauvort Group has been flourishing under your leadership. In recent years, we even ranked in the top 10 on the charts. This was something that the previous head of the family could do. There’s no need to change our business strategy now!”

Jean nodded calmly.

The people who remained neutral agreed with them. They couldn’t find any fault with Jean’s ability. The remarks were truthful.

Clarence was not satisfied. He was not bothered by the praises for Jean.

It was the beginning for him. He sipped his tea and looked at Seren.

“Jean is definitely perfect at work. He has a great vision for the future and he could look at the big picture while making investment decisions. Beauvort Group couldn’t succeed without him. However, he doesn’t have perfect judgment in his personal life.” Seren praises Jean like the others before criticizing him in the end.

Wrenn and Frederic were unhappy.

They had guessed that the people would talk about Jean’s marriage, but it was too soon.

Jean remained calm and looked at Seren.

Seren frowned when she saw that he did not react at all.

Seren cleared her throat and continued, ''I'm sure that many of you have met Jean’s wife, right? In my eyes, she’s not worthy of Jean. I was mainly concerned about her background. She had been kicked out by the Garcia family. She’s not on the same level as the Beauvort family. It’s unfair for Jean to marry a woman like her. We were wrong to turn a blind eye previously. Recently, I heard that she had 3 kids with someone else. How could we accept someone else’s children?”
