The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 732

When Ulric returned, he informed Neera about the incident.

Neera had just tucked the triplets into bed.

A cold glint covered the depths of her eyes after she listened to it.

Haha! If that mother-daughter duo believed they could just travel overseas, locate ANXIN Group, and have things go their way, they are being naive. Do they actually expect to live without worry after what they did to Aunt Adriana? They're living in a fantasy!

...

Neera had adjusted to the time zone by the next morning. She then went to the ANXIN Group's headquarters.

She called an emergency meeting of the company's upper management that morning.

In front of everyone, she made the announcement.

"The chairman is unwell and cannot oversee company operations for the time being. I'll be filling in for her and personally handling all the work. If you have any questions, please contact Neil or come directly to me.

Even though Adriana wasn't there, everyone at the headquarters admired Neera's abilities. Neil's assistance from the side put everyone at ease.

Neera went back to her office after the meeting ended.

Neil followed her in and reported, "Ms. Neera, that mother-daughter duo is here. They're downstairs, causing a commotion, and insisting on coming up."

Neera arched an eyebrow as she turned on her computer to view the company lobby through a security camera.

As anticipated, Susan and Roxanne stood outside the building, both appearing infuriated.

Her lips curled into a cold grin. She turned off the computer and averted her gaze.

"Let them make a scene. Do what needs to be done."

She had already taken the necessary measures, tightened the security at the company entrance.

When Susan and Roxanne arrived, they immediately felt something was off, but they chose not to pay attention.

They braved the chilly night in the park last night, cold and scared.

Reluctantly, they called Alfonso because they couldn't take it any longer.

Alfonso, predictably, did not care and even reprimanded them.

"Are you fools? You're supposed to appease her. Who told you to make a scene? Is there any chance with Garcia Group now that she's mad at you and ignoring you?"

Susan was filled with grievance. She finally got some money from him and found a shabby motel to stay in after much pleading.

Today, the two were enraged and demanded explanations.

"Get out of the way! We'd like to see Adriana! Susan yelled, attempting to barge in.

The security guard, however, did not comprehend her and stood in her way.

Susan became enraged and began hurling insults, saying, "How dare you stop me? Your chairman and I are family! You're merely a watchdog. What gives you the right to block us? Move!"

All of her efforts were like talking to a brick wall. The security guard couldn't understand a word she said.

Recognizing the situation, Roxanne kept her cool and communicated with him in a foreign language, emphasizing her identity once more.

The security guard continued to ignore her, displaying impatience, and dialed 911.

The cops arrived soon after. Hearing that the two had caused a ruckus here, they took them away without saying anything.

Being abroad was not the same as being at home. They were not used to their surroundings. There was no one to help them once they were arrested, so they had to be held in custody.

Only then did they truly understand what it was like to be without aid.

Throughout it all, Neera remained absent.

She was too busy to deal with these two nuisances. She was overwhelmed by the amount of work that awaited her.

She finished up her shift in the afternoon and went straight to the hospital without catching her breath.

Adriana was scheduled for a second medical exam. Its purpose was to confirm her condition and plan her surgery.

Neera had to be present to ensure that everything ran smoothly.



Back home, in Kingsview.

Osbert informed Jean about Neera's message when she awoke.

He was about to call Neera when Ian burst into the room, looking anxious.

Jean assumed the documents Ian was holding were related to company business at first glance. Remembering Neera's instructions, he said, "Let Joseph handle it."

"It's not about the company, sir," Ian explained, looking troubled. "It's..."

Ian moved his lips and cast a glance at Osbert. The latter was sensible and excused himself.

"What's the matter?" Jean inquired.

He hesitated before handing over the documents to Jean.

"Mrs. Beauvort asked Auntie Zuniga to give this to you when you were feeling better before she left the country."

Jean looked at the documents. He had a bad feeling about this.

He collected himself and took the document. It was the marriage contract he and Neera had signed before getting married.

His expression changed. He yanked off the IV drops and attempted to get out of bed. He tripped after only a few steps.

His response frightened Ian. He hurriedly rushed over to support him, saying, "Sir, watch out!"

Jean furrowed his brows. He panted erratically as a result of his sudden movements.

His parents entered the ward at this point and were astounded by what they saw.

Wrenn rushed over to help Jean. Her face was filled with concern.

"Why are you getting out of bed? Are you feeling ill?"

Frederic, ever the observer, noticed the fallen document and wondered, "What's this?"
