The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 724

After taking a shower, the triplets changed into their cow-patterned pajamas.

All three climbed into Neera's bed.

Neera had emerged from the bathroom, after blowing her hair dry.

She was overcome with complicated feelings, when she saw the triplets peeking their heads out from the blankets.

"Mommy, let's sleep together!" Sammy said, his eyes gleaming as he stretched out his tiny arms toward Neera.

Penny followed suit. She acted cute, blinked her big and adorable eyes, persuaded, "We haven't slept together for ages. Tonight, we want to do some cuddling."

Harvey was too embarrassed to act cute, but he didn't want to leave either. He simply lifted a corner of the blanket and eagerly stared at her with his dark eyes. He urged, "Mommy, it's late. Let's sleep together."

Neera's heart melted with their adorableness. She agreed, saying, "Alright, let's go to bed."

She grinned and lay down beside them.

The triplets cuddled up to her like kittens, pressing their soft bodies against hers.

Neera inhaled the scent of her children, warmth filling her eyes as she held them tightly, not wanting to let go.

The next morning, she personally dropped the kids off at school.

After she watched them go inside, she went back into her car.

A voice message from Isabella came through.

Neera played her message as she started the car.

Isabella's excited voice filled the vehicle; she wondered, "Neera, have you seen the news today?"

Confused, Neera replied, "No."

She swiftly replied. Her voice was sharp and triumphant, stating, "You need to check it out! There's a big surprise waiting for you!"

Neera grew more confused. She pulled the car over and opened Twitter.

She discovered the top trending search was about the Garcia Group. She clicked on the link.

The news reported that the Garcia Group, unable to fill its financial holes, had declared bankruptcy. Internet users were heatedly discussing the news. All of them are mocking and celebrating.

She went through the comments but did not respond much.

It was perfectly normal for people to push a man down. That company's downfall was natural given its mismanagement.

Moreover, whatever happened to the Garcias was none of her concern anymore.

Isabella, on the other hand, felt quite pleased. She stated, "They deserve this! They reap what they sow!"

Neera chuckled and responded, "You seem more worked out by this than I am."

Isabella grunted and said, "I despised them for how they mistreated you. If I weren't powerless against them, I would have gotten rid of them on your behalf for a long time!"

Neera laughed at Isabella's feistiness.

As the two chatted, Isabella suddenly remembered something. She mentioned, "By the way, when I visited our family's pharmaceutical factory yesterday, I think I saw Mr. Garcia there!"

Neera was stunned. She asked, "What did you just say?"

Isabella repeated.

Unconsciously, Neera straightened her back and asked, "Are you sure? The police have been searching for him for days and have found nothing. Why would he be there?"

Isabella wasn't sure. She explained, "It was a quick glance. That old man resembled him a lot, but I wasn't entirely sure at the time. When I think back now, I'm confident that it's him."

Neera twisted her brows. She wasn't sure whether that old man was Gladeon, but she felt the need to verify. After all, he was Adriana's biological father.

"Alright, let's do it."

Isabella understood what was on her mind. She offered, "If you are interested, I can take you there."

After hanging up the phone, Neera took a detour to pick her up.

The two drove for more than an hour before they reached their destination. It was an area filled with heavy industrial factories. The environment wasn't pleasant. It was filled with a chaotic mix of people coming and going.

Isabella led Neera to a small diner. She explained, "I saw Mr. Garcia there. He was sweeping the floor."

Neera tightened her brows even more. She asked, "Sweeping?"

Nodding, Isabella peered inside and murmured, "But he's not here now."

Neera didn't go into the diner, but observed from outside.

It was visibly cramped and appeared to be limited space, with only a few tables available. The diner was dim and somewhat dirty. Even though it was past mealtime, few patrons appeared to be eating.

They looked around but couldn't see Gladeon, so they went back to the car to wait.

After waiting for some time, the two of them saw no sign of him.

Isabella stuck out her tongue and admitted, "Perhaps I was wrong. It could be someone who looked like him."

Neera considered the possibility.

Gladeon has been living a lavish lifestyle. He has no business here.

When she decided to leave, a man with tattoos on his arm walked into the diner.

Someone bumped into him when he entered the store. He shouted angrily, "Old man, are you blind? Is it your intention to kill me?"

An elderly person's voice resounded, full of panic and fear, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

When she heard this voice, Neera froze and jerked her head around in the direction of that voice.

Days after he disappeared, Gladeon appeared in front of her eyes.
