The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 690

At the research center.

A beaker slipped from Neera's hand and hit the ground.

The potion spilled out. Neera spaced out and stared at the mess.

Osbert hurriedly came over. “Neera, you’re bleeding!”

Neera only realized it when he said so. "It’s just a small cut."

Osbert was terrified and hurriedly pulled her to the side and helped her sterilize her wound.

There were many types of potions in the research and development stage. The properties of the potions were still unknown.

Neera’s wound might get worse if it was in contact with the potions.

While rubbing alcohol on her wound, Osbert asked, ''Why are you so careless? What happened?"

He felt that Neera was a little absent-minded today.

Neera shook her head. She felt uneasy. “I feel that something bad is going to happen today. I broke a glass beaker coincidentally."

Osbert put a band-aid on her, "R&D is going pretty well right now. I think you’re just tired.”

“Maybe…”

"Come on Neera, go get some rest. Leave the work to us, it's not that busy now anyway."

Neera agreed with a smile. She sent Jean a message.

"Did everything go well?"

“Yes.”

Jean replied once he finished talking to the shareholders.

His head hurt even more but he didn't want Neera to worry, so he didn't say anything.

Ian came in holding a pile of documents.

"Sir, these are all the urgent documents. You have to sign after reading them."

Jean didn't say anything and quickly plunged into work. I can’t even take a short break!



Clarence was restless.

After the shareholders’ meeting, he left the company immediately in a foul mood.

He threw a huge tantrum and smashed everything in the living room to pieces when he reached home.

Vanessa freaked out and wanted to stop him. Jonas stopped her.

In the afternoon, a few of the shareholders who supported Clarence came to visit him.

They did not ask any questions about the mess.

Seren was the first to speak.

"Clarence, it's useless to throw a tantrum now. We need to discuss our next step.”

Clarence sneered. "I underestimated Jean!"

Seren shared the same thoughts. "I also didn't expect that he could be so ruthless. I sent someone to inquire about it. He has already organized all the evidence. If you insist on not withdrawing from the board of directors, he will likely hand over that evidence to the authorities!” Jean was a man of his words.

Jonas panicked and hurriedly asked, "Dad, what should we do then? We have to come up with something, right?"

Clarence leaned back on the sofa. “All these years, Jean had done a lot for the company. More than half of the shareholders are on his side, I do not have much chance of winning…”

“We are not doing anything about it then? Do we have other options?”

None of the shareholders wanted Clarence to fall because they would be the ones to suffer next.
