The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 749

Neera returned to the office in the afternoon.

Zephyr, having received orders from Chad, naturally trailed behind her to make sure she was always secure.

He did not leave or sit down after Neera entered the office; instead, he stood stiffly by the door. He was tall and stoic, exuding an indefinable aura. Like a guard at the gate, he did nothing but stood there.

Neil had entered and exited the office several times. That man was increasingly odd in her eyes.

"Doesn't this man seem out of the ordinary, Ms. Garcia?" Neil muttered quietly as he handed over some documents.

Neera shared her thoughts.

She did, however, believe that after working with Chad for so long, he must have been through a lot.

Neera didn't dwell on it because it could just be his personality.

After she wrapped up for the day, she called her kids.

"Mommy isn't going to be home for dinner tonight. You three should behave at home, eat properly, and listen to the butler."

"OK," the triplets sensibly replied.

They were aware that their mother had been preoccupied recently and that Grandaunt and Daddy had not fully recovered. They were quite obedient, trying not to bother their mother.



Neera, Zephyr, and Neil went to the Midnight Bar at night.

The bar was bustling at this hour of the night.

There were few lights on, the music was loud, and many people were swaying their bodies on the dance floor. They all wore skimpy outfits, shook their heads, and twisted their waists wildly.

The booths were packed with people from all walks of life.

Neera felt a little out of place because she rarely visited such places. She frowned slightly.

Neil noticed this. He chose a VIP booth on the second floor. They could see everything below from here, and it was a little quieter.

Neera sat down and then turned to face Zephyr.

That man stood motionless beside her, like a statue.

"Zephyr, please have a seat," Neera said, feeling a little awkward. "You don't need to keep standing."

Zephyr, who was very rigid, shook his head firmly in refusal, saying, "No need. My responsibility is to keep you safe. Standing allows me to stay alert and see everything."

Neera couldn't think of anything to say.

Neil also attempted to persuade him, but to no avail. He shrugged helplessly at Neera.

Helplessly, Neera had to accept the situation and stop insisting.

Given the diverse crowd here, even if he stood out, it wouldn't be out of place, and no one would notice.

Soon, drinks and some snacks were served. Neera doesn't drink; she just eats a little to fill her stomach.

As time passed, after eight o'clock, a group of youngsters entered the bar. The women had hourglass figures, while the men were handsome. They immediately occupied the largest booth downstairs.

Neil swept a glance over them, and his eyes lit up. He said, "They're here!"

Hearing this, Neera squinted her eyes. She swiftly scanned the crowd and, sure enough, spotted Thora.

This woman, after committing so many sins, still shamelessly came here to indulge. She's heartless!

Neera had been searching for her for a long time, and she was eager to apprehend her now that she had finally found her. She immediately stood up and commanded, "Let's go!"

Neil and Zephyr quickly caught up with her.

Neera quickly made her way to Thora's booth.

The group was having a good time, laughing and joking around. They even made dirty jokes; it was a very lively atmosphere.

When three strangers appeared out of nowhere, they all stopped and looked up.

Thora's face changed dramatically when she saw Neera, a flash of panic flashing through her eyes.

Why is she here?

Thora stared at Neera, and she stared right back.

"You dare to be here, drinking and having fun?" she asked.

Flustered, Thora's voice became shrill and harsh to the ears. She asked, "How did you find me here?!"

Neera answered with cold stares, "Of course I had someone run some investigations." Come with me now!"

With that, she grabbed Thora and attempted to pull her up.
