The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 875

Very soon, Neera went downstairs.

Chad and Adriana were waiting on the stage for her, a tender look emitting from their eyes.

Under many people’s gazes, Neera held up the hem of her dress as she calmly stepped onto the stage.

After exchanging smiles with her aunt, she took the microphone, her voice steady and polite, and spoke in a gentle manner.

“Hello everyone, I’m Neera Garcia. Welcome to my birthday party. It’s my honor to have all of you here. I hope you will have a great time tonight…”

After her brief greeting speech, she walked off the stage with Adriana and Chad.

Soon, a lot of guests came over to offer her a toast gracefully and respectfully.

All of them could tell that Chad really treated her like his own biological daughter.

He had held such a grand party for her, and even announced that she would be the future successor of the F.A Group.

Every choice he made for the event signified just how important she was to him.

There were many among the guests who even took the opportunity to bring their own sons to approach Neera and be friends with her.

Neera could tell what these people were up to. But, she still maintained a warm and cheerful demeanor, with a bit of distance underneath her politeness.

Nearby, Jean felt extremely unhappy looking at the scene.

How dare they come to poach his lover so blatantly!

Then, he took the triplets over to her.

“Happy birthday, Neera.”

In front of everyone, his eyes were soft, and his tone was gentle as he approached her.

The distance that Neera had maintained the whole night suddenly vanished as she caught sight of him, her lips curling into a smile.

The triplets then raised their heads and looked up at her, deciding to help her and their father declare their status.

“Happy birthday, mommy! We hope that you are happy every single day for eternity, and that our family can live happily together!”

As they were saying their wish, Sammy and Penny held Jean’s hand in a cheeky yet subtle way.

The crowd of people that were present were momentarily stunned as they looked at the triplets curiously. They looked at Jean, then looked back at Neera.

“Ms. Garcia, these three kids…”

Adriana immediately explained on behalf of her niece: “These are my niece’s triplets.”

She spoke frankly as Neera nodded in agreement. She was open to her aunt explaining on her behalf.

Adriana’s words were like a lightning strike, no less shocking than when Chad announced that Neera would be his successor.

Then, everyone asked Neera in shock: “Ms. Garcia, you’re married?”

Neera found it a little difficult to answer such a question.

Technically, she hasn’t married yet, but between her and Jean…

Next to her, Chad took a glance at Jean, and then answered on her behalf.

“She isn’t married yet at the moment, but our Neera has indeed already made arrangements for her marriage.”

When everyone heard what Chad had said, they all looked disappointed simultaneously.

They really thought that they had the chance to arrange for a marriage within their families, but they didn’t expect to have their hopes dashed so quickly.

Other than the crowd of people, members of the Gordon family were also witnessing the conversation. After a long while, they couldn’t hold it in much longer.

Among them, the family clan’s leaders looked at each other and walked over.

The person standing in the middle was the oldest one. He was Chad’s third uncle, Baxter Gordon.

There was much dissent written all over his face as he publicly gave Chad a hard time

“Chad, aren’t you supposed to give us an explanation first?”

“I believe I have already given a clear explanation during the family meeting.” Chad spoke calmly and indifferently..

Baxter then lost his temper, completely disregarding the occasion, and scolded his nephew.

“I don’t think so! You only simply announced that you were going to let an outsider succeed the business! You’re basically pulling my leg at this point! It’s not like there’s no other potential successors in the younger generation of the Gordon family! Even if you didn’t have any children yourself, you can still pick one from that pool! There are still a lot of suitable, capable candidates within the family! No matter who you choose randomly, or how they will perform, they still carry the flesh and blood of the Gordons! No one in the family will have a problem with that! But you had to go and choose an outsider that’s completely unrelated to us? And she also already had her own family? You can’t even make her marry into the family! What a joke!”

As he led the charge with the verbal attack, other elders of the family also started to chime in.

“Exactly, Chad. We aren’t going to object if you want to marry. But you can’t just make fun of the entire Gordon family just because you love someone!”

“Chad, the matter of choosing your successor isn’t fun and games, you have to think properly…”

As they made a lot of noise, they quickly attracted the attention of the other guests of the party.

Everyone was extremely surprised, so they turned their heads and eavesdropped for any potential gossip.

No one expected to be able to watch an episode of a telenovela at this party!

The triplets saw that their mommy was getting attacked, and held onto her hand subconsciously.

Neera was much calmer about this. She lowered her head and smiled at her kids, her hand caressing their little heads.

“Don’t worry, mommy’s okay.”

Chad had a feeling that they would cause a ruckus tonight. Yet, he remained calm.

Without even flexing an eyebrow, he replied to them in a stoic and demanding tone.

“If I remember correctly, the Gordon family rules back then stated that the head of the family had full power to choose their successor. Neera is the one that I have chosen. Since when was it your turn to comment about it?”
