The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 858

As soon as these words were spoken, the triplets displayed surprised expressions.

They were well aware of the villa's world-class security system. Ordinary people were unable to crack it.

In addition, no one has tampered with this system since they came back, and no abnormalities have been discovered.

The situation must be dire if the King was worried.

Jean realized it as well. He knitted his brows, and his voice became slightly deeper.

"When did you find out?" he inquired.

"I discovered something was wrong last night, so I came to see what was going on today," King replied honestly.

He then looked around and said, "It seems fine at the moment."

Jean was still feeling uneasy. He asked, "Can you track down the person's IP address of the person who tried to hack the system?"

"It's close," King said, nodding.

Jean's eyes exhibited a slight trace of melancholy.

Taken aback, he quickly contacted Ian, saying, "Check if people are lurking nearby the manor."

Ian accepted the order and said, "Yes, Sir."

Moments before he could send someone to investigate, Storm and the others returned.

They had overheard the discussion and decided to speak up.

"It's unnecessary to double-check, sir. There are suspicious individuals in the area. Before, I approached this quietly so as not to give the enemy any warning. I secretly investigated and discovered they came from the black market; most likely, Alfonso is preparing to take action against Mrs. Beauvort."

When Jean realized this, his face darkened gradually.

King's complexion also changed.

He deduced that "Mrs. Beauvort" was referring to Neera, but he couldn't understand why anyone would want to harm her.

"What exactly is going on? Is Neera in danger?"

Jean pursed his lips in response to his question. He urged the trio to head upstairs, saying, "You three should go back to your room and do your homework."

The typically compliant triplets, however, shook their heads in disagreement this time.

"For us to truly become a family, there can be no secrets," Harvey said.

Penny agreed with a nod, "Yes! Yes, we worry about Mommy too. Could you please not keep it from us?"

They had noticed their parents were dealing with some complicated issues recently. The kids didn't ask because they didn't want their parents to worry about them.

However, even the King expressed worry, indicating that there was something serious going on. As a result, they demanded to learn the truth.

Jean felt powerless to refuse the triplets after noticing their determination.

He didn't hide it from the children and gave them a brief explanation of Alfonso's plan and recent moves.

The fact that Garcias still targeted their mother caught the triplets off guard. They creased their brows and appeared upset.

Angrily, Penny pouted and chided, "It's going too far! They're such bullies!"

Sammy was fuming.

"Master King, those people are so evil!" he grumbled to his master. "They bullied Mommy and scolded us back in Kingsview!"

This took King by surprise. His face sank immediately.

"How dare they bully my apprentice!"

He valued talent and was fiercely protective of his apprentice. Sammy was important to him. For the sake of his love for Sammy, he looked after the other two kids and even Neera.

He was furious to learn that they had been bullied.

Jean noticed the chill in his eyes but said nothing.

He turned to Storm and inquired, "When do they intend to act?"

Storm said, "Probably tonight."

Tonight?

"Make the preparation." Jean frowned. "Tonight, you should all stay and entertain our unexpected visitors."

The word "entertain" was highlighted.

Storm got it right away.

"What about you and Mrs. Beauvort?" he asked, nodding.

"As soon as Neera returns, I will take them to hide in the newly acquired estate."

Storm acknowledged this and said, "Understood."

King suddenly broke the silence and said, "You don't have to go through all these troubles. Just let them in, however many there are. I'll see to it that they never leave!"

He had a ruthless expression on his face. Evidently, he had already made up his mind about something.
