The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 861

Neera was startled, and then she had a guess. "I roughly know what they're going to do."

Jean could not help but wonder. "You know it?"

Neera smiled and nodded. "Yes, I can guess it."

Jean asked curiously, "What will they do?"

Neera avoided answering but only smiled. "You'll know it later. Don't worry. If Alfonso chooses to deal with me outside, I may need to be careful. But he's so reckless to insist on rushing into my home. I can only say that he's courting for death."

Jean felt confused. But since Neera wanted to show off, he waited for the good show and did not ask any more questions.

At the same time, he wanted to see what method King would use to deal with Alfonso and the black market people!

After talking, he had no intention of going downstairs and stayed with Neera to handle official business. Everyone in the villa was awake while waiting for something to happen.

Around midnight, Ian knocked on the door. "Mr. Beauvort, Mrs. Beauvort, Alfonso made a move. Mr. King and the children have already gone to prepare."

A cold light flashed in Jean's eyes. He decided to deal with the Garcia family after this incident. It could save Neera from causing any trouble in the future.

He nodded expressionlessly. "Got it."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the lights in the villa suddenly went out. They merged with the night.

In the darkness, Jean subconsciously held Neera's hand to ensure she was beside him.

With the faint moonlight outside the window, he gradually adapted to the night and asked doubtfully, "Is there a power outage?"

Neera was calm. "No, it should be King's move."

Upon saying that, she held his hand and pulled him up. "Come on, I'll take you over to their side. You'll soon know what his plan is with the triplets."

Jean worried that she would bump into something, so he pulled her to him and held her hand tightly. "Slow down. Be careful."

Soon, they went downstairs in the dark. At this time, King and the triplets were no longer on the first floor.

Ian turned on the phone's flashlight, dimmed the brightness, and looked around the living room. "Hey, where have they gone? They were still there before I came up."

Neera smiled, walked toward the end of the corridor on the first floor, and opened a door.

Jean thought this place was a storage room. Unexpectedly, when the door opened, there was a staircase.

"Is this leading to the basement?" Jean asked in surprise.

Neera smiled without saying a word and only led him down. After going down, he saw a small corridor. Soon, they reached the end, and another door blocked the way.

The door in front of them looked high-tech at first glance, but it was open.

Jean was about to go in to find out what happened, but Neera pulled him back.

"What's wrong?" Jean turned around and asked in confusion.

Neera blinked, suddenly stretched out, and said charmingly, "I want a huggie."

Jean was stunned and unable to react. It was the first time he saw her acting coquettishly, especially under such circumstances.

Although puzzled, he did not want to refuse her, so he picked her up and hugged her.

Neera hooked his neck as she wished and smiled. "Don't let go of me, or you'll get attacked."

Jean was even more confused after hearing that. Why will I get attacked?

Neera would not act coquettishly for no reason. He believed it had something to do with the situation behind the door.

So he did not say anything, nodded, and stepped in with Neera in his arms.
