The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 743

Jean sneered, "Give them a son? Zachary's ability to father a child remains to be seen!"

What Neera had done to him remained etched in his mind.

"Alright, I will entrust you with this matter," he said coldly, not wanting to waste any more time on that thrash. You already know what to do."

"Don't worry, sir; leave it to me!" Ian said as he patted his chest.

How am I going to deal with this? Of course, I'm going to give him a taste of his own medicine! At the time, Zachary and Roxanne had ruined Mrs. Beauvort's reputation. It was now time for them to go through the same thing.

Ian immediately called Larry after leaving the study.

"Mr. Ian, how may I be of service to you?"

With a casual tone, Ian began, "I have a task for you..."

The next morning, word of Zachary's impotence quickly spread across the internet.

This shocking revelation amused internet users as it spread like wildfire across the web. People began to speculate about the cause of his impotence, and they came up with some plausible explanations.

"Zachary is a notorious womanizer. He is constantly surrounded by models. Is it true that he's impotent? Hahaha, this will be the joke of the year!"

"I'm speechless. I wonder what kind of stunt he pulled to mess himself up like this?"

"How much fun did he have, exactly, when he ran out of fluid?"

When Zachary saw these remarks, he became enraged and wanted to vomit blood.

His parents were equally distressed. They immediately confronted him with the truth.

What exactly is going on? How could I possibly know? Who leaked this? Is it Neera?

Qaylah was concerned as she observed his clenched teeth and continued silence.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" she inquired. "Is this true?"

The butler entered the room unexpectedly and announced, "Mr. Burke is here."

When Manfred Burke entered, he yelled angrily at Zachary, "Is the news on the internet true?"

Zachary became even angrier as he was interrogated by everyone.

He dared not let his temper flare in the face of the Burkes, nor did he deny it.

"Of course not! Mr. Manfred, please don't believe the nonsense online!"

"Then why is there such news?" Manfred inquired, still skeptical.

Zachary quickly devised an excuse. He concluded, "Someone must be out to get me or my family. They deliberately spread false information to harm my reputation."

Manfred reluctantly believed him because he was confident in his words.

Nonetheless, he was dissatisfied. After all, they were planning to tie the knot and bring their families together. How could the Burkes be associated with such a scandal?

"Regardless of the reason," he commanded angrily. "Immediately have this news wiped from the internet. What a disgrace!"

Fains felt the same way.

Zachary, in particular, was furious. He directed that all related news be suppressed.

Yet, in contrast to his anticipations, not only was the news not stifled, but a chain of evidence emerged.

His medical records from major hospitals were made public online.

While hospitals in his own country took precautions to protect his privacy by only disclosing his visits and not the details of his illness, his medical records from abroad were made public.

He became a laughing stock online and was mockingly dubbed "Mr. Impotence."

His folks took his word for it at first, but after looking at the evidence, they couldn't hold back any longer.

"Zach, what the hell is going on? Should we trust these medical records?"

"You recently traveled abroad quite a bit. Is there a health reason for this?"

He realized he had to stop lying to his parents when they confronted him. "It's all because of that b*tch! I'm not sure what drug Neera gave me!"

Qaylah was so enraged after hearing his story that she nearly passed out.

Harley, even angrier, slammed his hand on the table. He roared, "Outrageous! This is ridiculous! Why didn't you bring this up earlier?"

Zachary became agitated and replied rudely, "How am I to know she wouldn't give me the antidote? She knows something about medicine; that b*tch can leverage on that and do whatever she wants to me!"

"That's enough! What has been done is done! Most importantly, we need to resolve this problem as soon as possible!"

Harley roared, urging him to act.

"What are you doing standing there? Go to Neera! Get the antidote from her by any means necessary! This scandal is most likely her fault; you must find a way to stifle it. We've finally struck up an alliance with the Burkes. We can't let this sever their bond with us!"

Zachary clenched his teeth, burning with rage, as he headed straight for Startales.

However, upon arriving, he learned Neera had already left for Essley.

…

Meanwhile, Neera was completely unaware of what was going on at home. She had no time to think about anything else because of her workload.

When she did take a break, it was around 10 o'clock, and she intended to go home.

She picked up her phone and saw that she had received several messages from Jean, all of which expressed concern for her.

The most recent message, sent about 30 minutes ago, simply stated, "I miss you."

These words warmed Neera's heart.

She returned Jean's call after accounting for the time difference.

"I miss you too," she said as soon as the phone call was connected.

With a light chuckle, Jean asked, "Just finished work?"

"Yes, there's so much to do."

Neera leaned back in her chair, gazing out the windows into the night. Her tone was a blend of subdued complaint and pity.

Jean's heart melted as he listened to her.
