The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 755

By the time they got back, it was already late.

The triplets were sound asleep. They had no idea what had happened.

But Neera could not possibly pretend that nothing had happened.

She first ordered Neil to tie up Thora and lock her in the storage room.

They had already gagged her on the way home.

After listening to what Neera had just said, Thora widened her eyes and started making muffled sounds. She tried to struggle herself free, only for her efforts to end up in vain.

Neera was not in the mood to deal with her and didn’t bat her an eye. She turned to head to the living room instead.

She sat on the sofa, let out a sigh, and looked up suddenly at the man standing next to her in silence.

“Tell me honestly, Zephyr. Who are you exactly?”

Zephyr looked like he prepared for a question like this, but he seemed as though he didn’t quite understand her question.

“I’m just Mr. Gordon’s assistant, Ms. Garcia.” He replied calmly.

Neera’s face was cold. “I know that you’re his assistant. But I’m asking about your other identity. So, you don’t have to play dumb with me. Your skill sets aren’t something just an ordinary assistant would have. So, what is your deal? Are you a mercenary? Or a killer?”

Although she had never come across such a person, it didn’t mean that she knew nothing about them.

Sammy’s master was the world’s top hacker. He had come across all kinds of big shots.

From him, she heard about many people and many things.

Before tonight, she always thought that Chad was just some plain old businessman.

But after the incident, she didn’t seem to think so anymore…

Zephyr finally had some expression on his face, and he seemed to look a little surprised.

He had a feeling that Neera would be suspicious of his identity. But he didn’t know just how much she knew of.

He couldn’t reveal much of his identity simply, though.

Even for her.

He lowered his head halfway, and looked to the floor.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Garcia. I can tell you anything else that you ask me, but I’m afraid I can’t say much about this.”

Neera’s face was still as cold as before. “Okay, sure. You can’t. But what about Chad’s identity?”

Zephyr stayed silent for a few seconds, then answered. “It’s the same for him. I can’t tell you either.”

Having heard his response, Neera’s face changed. She took a few breaths and said: “Okay then! Since you can’t tell me about your true identities, then I can just investigate myself, right?”

Zephyr was speechless.

Seeing this, Neera frowned. “You can’t answer these few questions, then I’ll just change the topic. What’s your motive for getting close to my aunt? Does Chad really love my aunt, or is there an ulterior motive?”

She had just realized that her aunt was surrounded by such dangerous people, how could she be at ease?

If she doesn’t figure it out, she would not be at peace with herself for letting her aunt be around them!

Zephyr still remained speechless.

Neera’s expression got even more awful, and the tone of her voice started to become aggressive.

“You can’t say this, you can’t say that, you can’t say anything! How many secrets are you actually hiding? Could it be that there’s something shady going on?”

Zephyr’s head was still hanging low. He didn’t utter a word.

Then at that moment, there was a gentle voice that came from the door.

“If you want to know anything, you can ask me instead. I’ll tell you what you want to know, Neera.”

Neera was stunned for a moment. She turned around to find Chad standing in the doorway.

It turned out that Chad had found out about what had happened, and rushed over from the hospital.

Neera stood up from the couch and stared at him vigilantly. She didn’t know if she was to give him respect or not.

Chad didn’t pay much mind, and remained gentle and poised like a fine gentleman.

“You’re not hurt, are you?”

He first took a look at her and asked caringly.

Neera frowned and looked at him for a while. She didn’t want to make the situation too awkward, so she shook her head and replied: “No.”

Chad sighed in relief. She could see that he became much more relaxed.

“That’s good. I’m glad to hear that you’re alright. I wouldn’t know how to explain to your aunt if you got injured.”

After saying that, he looked at Neil to the side. “Is it okay if you can give us some space? I’d love to have a chat with Neera.”

Neil seemed a bit worried, and looked at Neera.

“Don’t worry, I just want to explain myself and my identity. I’m not going to do anything.” Chad replied with a smile.

Neil hesitated for a moment, he couldn’t tell if he was being sincere or not. But seeing that Neera hadn’t said anything about it, he left the room.
