The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 857

Neera had been recuperating at home for a few days, and her injuries had significantly healed.

Since she was a nurse, she also made some potent medicines that helped her recover more quickly.

She needed to go to the office today to finish some work.

Zephyr drove her to the office first thing in the morning.

She was completely unaware that a man had arrived at her manor after she had left.

He was a very good-looking man, attractive in an androgynous way. His long hair was loosely draped over his shoulders, and he was dressed in a traditional long robe. It had an ethereal effect on him.

When he arrived, he didn't bother to ring the doorbell but entered the password and entered the house.

The bodyguards were watching from the shadows. When they saw an unfamiliar face, they swarmed out to block his path.

"Who are you? What brings you here?"

The large crowd took that man by surprise.

He cast a disapproving glance at the group and narrowed his eyes. He coldly countered, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Jean and the triplets came out of the house as they heard the commotion caused by the confrontation between the two groups.

Sammy's eyes lit up, and he dashed over before Jean could react.

He exclaimed, "Master! Master! Why are you here? I've missed you so much!"

The child was overjoyed and clung to the stranger's legs.

When the man saw the boy, his previously icy demeanor melted away.

"When did you come back, Sammy?" he inquired.

He picked up the boy, his face beaming with delight.

Then he looked at Jean, but for only a moment before moving on to the other two kids.

"Harvey and Penny are here too?" he inquired.

Harvey and Penny were both ecstatic and dashed over.

"Master King! We haven't seen you in quite some time. We missed you terribly!"

They were very fond of the mysterious man, and he was equally fond of them.

Jean noticed it from a distance. He arched his brows slightly.

King? I'm pretty sure I've heard this name before.

Jean started to think about the name and tried to recall any associations he might have.

King spoke briefly with the triplets before turning his attention to Jean.

Unlike the happiness and relaxation he displayed when faced with the triplets, his demeanor became aloof, with a hint of caution.

"Who is he?" he asked, emotionless.

The triplets eagerly introduced him before Jean could respond.

"He's Mommy's boyfriend, and he'll be our future Daddy!"

King was surprised to hear this. He studied Jean with more serious expressions.

Jean maintained his cool when he met his gaze.

"Hi, I'm Jean Beauvort," he said politely.

Harvey helped introduce his father, "Dad, he's the teacher who taught Sammy hacking skills and the man who developed your company's security system."

Jean became aware all of a sudden. It makes sense why this name sounded familiar to him.

For years, this name topped the hacker ranking before mysteriously disappearing. To this day, King continues to be regarded as a legendary figure.

It came as a complete surprise to him that this man was actually Sammy's master. That explains why the boy had such advanced knowledge of computers at such a tender age.

"So that's you. It's nice to finally meet the world-famous hacker I've been hearing so much about."

Jean was an imposing man who carried himself with pride and authority. He did, however, have to be courteous to Sammy's master.

On the other hand, King examined him closely.

Jean impressed him with his good looks and confidence, suggesting he was someone of importance. He came to the conclusion that he was pleased with him.

"You're too polite," said King, dropping the last trace of caution from his eyes. "You're such a major player in the business world that it's me who ought to be saying I've heard a lot about you."

I can't believe Neera is seeing this guy, he thought to himself. She does an excellent job of concealing it.

After the two had exchanged pleasantries, Sammy asked, "Master King, why did you suddenly come here? Is there a problem?"

The question jogged the King's memory about why he'd come. He suggested, "Let's talk inside."

Everyone quickly entered the villa.

The butler greeted King courteously. He made some tea and brought it over to them.

King took a look around the living room. The absence of Neera prompted his inquiry, "Where is your mom? She's not at home?"

Respectfully, Harvey responded, "Mommy has something to do at the office."

The situation was understood by the King. He then suggested, "Then, we should wait for her to come back and talk."

"It's okay; you can talk now," the triplets said, blinking.

King cast a sidelong look at Jean. He paused for a moment before continuing, "I came here because I detected someone trying to hack into the security system of the house."
