The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 680
Since Aunt Seren had come to me, I’m afraid that Uncle Clarence had gone to Karl. I had to inform Jean about this, Joseph thought.
“Although Uncle Clarence didn’t visit me, I’m sure that he had other plans.”
Jean wasn't surprised. "Okay, I'll watch out. Thank you, Joseph."
Joseph smiled, "There’s no need to be polite around me. We’re brothers. The family assembly this time must have been tough on you.”
“Hmm.” Jean hung up the phone.
Ian walked in just in time, "Sir, Mr. Clarence had indeed visited Mr. Karl.”
“Don’t bother about it,” Jean said. It’s no use to go to Karl. Karl is useless like everyone else.
“There’s quite a lot to prepare for the shareholders meeting tomorrow. Let’s deal with it first.” Jean wanted to focus on the matter at hand first.
Ian nodded and went out to finish his task.

Meanwhile, Clarence was drinking tea at Karl’s place.
He was much calmer than Seren. He didn’t talk about the main reason for visiting.
It was Karl who was impatient. “Uncle Clarence, what do you want? Shouldn’t you avoid doing anything that may arouse suspicion during this critical period?”
Clarence finished his tea and smiled, "Karl, if you wanted to avoid suspicion, you wouldn't have let me in."
Karl was not amused. "I let you in because I respected you, Uncle Clarence.”
Clarence looked up at him with a meaningful smile. "You’re smart. You should know why I’m here.”
Karl pretended to be confused but he gave up when he met Clarence’s gaze.
His eyes glimmered slyly. “Of course, but we can’t stop Jean from doing what he wants. You’ve wasted your time by coming here.”
“I know what I’m doing. It's indeed nothing you can do to stop him, but you can plead for me.”
Karl laughed as if it was a joke.
“Who should I go to? My dad or my stepmother? You have seen it today, they are definitely on Jean’s side. Even the uncles with the most power are not helping you. What could I do? Uncle Clarence, instead of wasting time on me, you should think about filling the 8 billion dollar deficit. Jean will never let go of you.”
“Everything depends on you, Karl. Aren’t you upset about being oppressed by Jean all these years? Why don’t you fight for yourself in this chaotic situation now?”
Clarence saw a slight change in Karl’s expression. “Don’t miss out on such a good opportunity,” he added.
“Uncle Clarence, you don’t have to provoke me. You should worry about yourself,” Karl said seriously.
Clarence didn’t give up. “Provoking? Do you have a chance to get ahead of Jean if Jean stays in power? You’re the elder brother but you’re always oppressed by him. Don’t you want more power? Just give up if you’re not that ambitious. You can’t fight Jean.”
He got up and walked away.
“What do you want me to do?” Karl said when Clarence was almost at the door.
“Although Uncle Clarence didn’t visit me, I’m sure that he had other plans.”
Jean wasn't surprised. "Okay, I'll watch out. Thank you, Joseph."
Joseph smiled, "There’s no need to be polite around me. We’re brothers. The family assembly this time must have been tough on you.”
