The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 790

Jeffrey did not immediately respond. He took a deep pull of his cigarette while staring at Thora.

After a pause of about ten seconds, Jeffrey asked, "What do you think?"

Thora sensed his displeasure clearly and felt even more uneasy.

Thora nervously said, "I can help John, Uncle Jeffrey."

However, Jeffrey's underling forcefully pushed Thora down as she began to stand up.

Thora felt excruciating pain as her back still had not fully healed from her previous injury. She could not help but let out a scream, contorting her face in agony.

Sweat instantly covered Thora’s forehead, and she endured the pain for a while before finally asking Jeffrey, "Uncle Jeffrey, what are you doing?

Jeffrey remained silent. However, his underling stepped forward and glanced at her contemptuously. In the next moment, he suddenly stomped on Thora’s face.

"Tell me the truth. Who is that woman who caused trouble for you at the bar that night?"

With her face being crushed into the ground, Thora could not move and was terrified.

Thora screamed painfully and replied, "She is called Neera. She's Obadiah’s student and also the head of ANXIN Group."

But as she spoke, the underling's foot pressed down harder, clearly unsatisfied with her answer.

He asked, "What else?"

Thora's face was numb from the pain. She quickly said, "Nothing else!"

"Liar!" The underling shouted, clearly dissatisfied. He crouched down and forcefully pulled Thora's hair, making her look toward John.

"See that? The people around Neera turned Mr. John into this! His arm is completely useless."

In pain and shock, Thora stared in disbelief. Someone beside Neera had somehow caused John to lose an arm.

Thora mumbled, "How is that possible?"

At that moment, Jeffrey pressed his cigar into the ashtray and twisted it hard.

Jeffrey coldly said, "I'm not a patient person. I'll give you one more chance. Who exactly is Neera?"

Thora's mind was blank, and she did not know what to say. She could only cry out for help in desperation.

Thora sobbed, "Uncle Jeffrey, what I said earlier is true! I didn't lie to you. I truly don't know any more about Neera's background. I swear, I’m not lying."

But Jeffrey wasn't convinced. He said angrily, "What a bastard! It looks like you wanted to lose an arm like John! In that case, I’ll fulfill you!"

Thora was on the verge of incontinence. All she could do was get on her knees and beg for mercy.

"Don't! Uncle Jeffrey, please don't do this to me. Neera doesn't have anything special beside these two identities. I really didn't lie to you; please believe me!"

Jeffrey could never believe Thora. He became angry and kicked Thora to the ground.

"You’re not lying? Then tell me instead, where did the hitman around her come from?"

Thora fell heavily to the ground and winced in pain. At the same time, she felt helpless and nervous. She was dumbfounded and stared at Jeffrey helplessly.

"Hitman? Uncle Jeffrey, I had no idea about that."

Then, Thora held up three fingers and said, "I swear to you, my whole family will die a violent death if I have half a word of falsehood!"

Jeffrey fell silent and stared at Thora. Hold on; she is taking the lives of her entire family as a guarantee. I felt like she was telling the truth… But the more this happened, the more angry I felt. John had lost an arm, and his life was crippled all because of her!

Furious, he ordered his underling, "Take her away!"

Jeffrey’s underling nodded in compliance and dragged Thora out of the room.

Thora's face turned gloomy. She was utterly terrified.
