The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 782

Neera realized something was off after being reminded by Jean.

Ian backed him up by saying, "That’s right! The black market is merciless; they don’t do charity. They won’t be kind to a middle-aged man who is already bankrupt and two elderly people who bring no benefits to them. There must be some sort of hidden agreement in place for them."

Jean calmed Neera down by patting her back and saying, "Don’t be hasty. We will continue to investigate this matter. You should avoid contacting Alfonso for the time being. The situation is unclear now; perhaps he is hiding some intentions behind his back. We should protect Aunt Adriana from him as well. She was just getting better; we couldn’t risk her safety at this moment."

It seems that we have no choice but to wait patiently. While holding back her rage, Neera unwillingly concurred and said worriedly, "What can we do next? The black market isn’t somewhere we can easily gain access to. We have no connections to get inside."

Jean said confidently, "Leave it to me. I will send someone to do it."

Neera gave him a skeptical look and said, "You? Do you know anyone from the black market?"

She immediately doubted herself again, saying, "No, I won’t agree for you to act recklessly. It’s too dangerous to deal with them. If they know your identity, they might seize the opportunity to threaten you. You are just a businessman; we shouldn’t involve you in this."

Jean almost giggled after hearing her words. Did she believe that the Beauvort family was merely doing business? Such a pure soul. The Beauvort Group achieved its current standing with a solid foundation. It grew stronger over generations. The power and influence we acquire after decades is unimaginable. It is unavoidable to deal with some illegal channels.

Jean said calmly, "We are getting help from the police. Everything will be fine." He was hesitant to tell her the truth about the men he was sending. She was stressed out now; I shouldn’t burden her with the truth.

Neera had always trusted him; she said in relief, "That's good news."

Ian was stunned as he witnessed everything. He thought to himself, I couldn’t believe this. How could Mrs. Beauvort remain innocent after falling in love with Mr. Jean? He was a top-notch assassin hiding by her side! I guess love is blind. The most shocking part is how good Mr. Jean's acting skills are. Look at him—pure, sincere, and innocent! I admire his acting.

Jean titled his head and signaled Ian. The latter understood his order and assisted in soothing Neera.

Ian said, "Cough... Mrs. Beauvort, rest assured. Mr. Jean knows what he is doing. He will get things done perfectly without getting into trouble."

Is it my illusion? Why do I feel his smile is forced? Neera nodded and said, "Alright, I will leave everything to you. I trust you."

Jean held her hand and smiled, saying, "Don’t mention it. I am here for you anytime."

Neera smiled softly. She was still worried about Aunt Adriana and went to Zephyr.

Zephyr was monitoring the surroundings in the courtyard. He was always doing his job responsibly. He saw Neera and said, "Ms. Garcia, are you planning to go out now?"

Neera shook her head and said, "Give Uncle Chad a call. I wanted to meet him as soon as possible."

"Roger."

Chad hurried over after Adriana was asleep. They met in the study room.

Neera went straight to the point, "Uncle Chad, I have a request. Will you bring Aunt Adriana somewhere safe and quiet? A place where she could rest and wouldn’t be disturbed."
