The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 876
Chad’s attitude was firm and tough. He left no room for any argument.
The Gordon family members were stunned, their faces frowning in disdain. They looked like they weren’t present for the party, but rather to seek revenge instead.
Chad gritted his teeth. He wasn’t going to let Chad get away with his decision so easily.
“Sure, by logic, you can say that. But Neera Garcia is still not blood-related to us, after all! She is not a Gordon!”
Chad sneered, and yelled back without wavering at all.
“And what about it? She is still the niece of my lover! Didn’t I just announce that I am going to marry Adriana very soon? By then, she will also be my proper niece! Why can’t she be my successor then?”
“You– You’re just trying to twist the rules and making excuses!”
“If you think so, then so be it. After all, what you think will not affect my decision.”
“Chad Gordon! You have gone too far!”
Baxter was so livid that his face turned pale. He wanted to point at Chad’s nose and curse at him.
“You are being ridiculous! You’re messing with the entire Gordon family’s future! You are disobeying your elders if you keep on insisting like this! Aren’t you afraid of upsetting your ancestors? I’m telling you, your stubbornness is of no use! At the end of the day, regardless of the fact that you’re the head of the family, we will not agree to your choice!”
The other Gordons followed along and clarified their stances.
Looking at them, Chad’s gaze turned cold.
“It seems like you guys still do not understand. When I announced the matter today, it means that I have already made my decision. It’s not to just inform you about it. Whether you agree or disagree, it doesn’t matter to me, nor would it affect anything. If you’re really unhappy with my decision, then remove me from the position as the head of the family.”
“You–”
Upon hearing this, Baxter’s eyes widened. He was speechless.
The others were also baffled. The toughness that they just had was destroyed in seconds.
There was no one present who wasn't aware of just how powerful Chad’s methods were.
Even though the Gordons were a Bartitsu family, the rise of other family clans had a certain amount of impact on them.
While other families had their own disputes, the reason the Gordons remained tall and strong was all thanks to Chad Gordon’s abilities.
The Gordon juniors wouldn’t be able to hold up the family as well as he does.
If it were up to them, the whole family would collapse overnight.
Chad had just made it clear to them that no one else in the family had the ability and the courage to dethrone him as the head of the Gordons!
Just as the atmosphere became tense, Baxter’s son – Troy, who was also Chad’s cousin brother – caught a glimpse of Avery Cox, who wasn’t far away.
Troy then took the opportunity to make things difficult for Chad.
“Chad, remember when you refused to get a wife and intermarry with the Cox family? You’ve already violated the agreement between our two families. So, it is up to your children to fulfill the agreement and marry someone from the Cox family. But now, you do not bear any children, and even took in an outsider as your successor. Do you want this outsider to also not intermarry with the Coxes? Even if you had the intention to, would the Coxes be willing to accept a woman who already has children?”
Chad had clarified earlier that Neera was indeed engaged. So, Troy naturally thought that she was engaged to someone from the Cox family.
Everyone was shocked to hear what Troy had just said, including Neera.
A marriage agreement with the Coxes? What was that all about?
How come she hasn’t heard about it before?
Initially, Avery had not planned to show up in front of everyone just yet.
But he didn’t expect that someone from the Gordons had dragged him into the conversation. A trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.
He smirked, put down his wine glass, and walked over to the crowd elegantly.
As he approached, he saw the shock on Neera’s face, and let out a reassuring smile.
After finding his position, he then turned to the crowd, and clarified his stance on the matter. “The Coxes and the Gordons are aristocratic families. It was agreed at the beginning that the person who had the right to inherit the Gordon family was to intermarry with the Coxes. But the agreement did not clarify that it has to be someone with blood-relations with the Gordons. Technically, any one of the successors of the Gordons can be qualified.”
His words made it clear that he was on Chad’s side, and that he had no objections about it.
However, he then added: “Which is to say that, if Ms. Garcia was to be the Gordons’ successor, then she will be my fiancée.”
At that moment, all of the Gordons looked like they just choked on flies.
Neera’s face didn’t change much, however she was shocked to the core. She was internally panicking.
What… What the hell?
She had just become the successor of the Gordon family. How did she end up also being Avery’s fiancée? This is all too ridiculous!
Why haven’t Aunt Adriana and Uncle Chad told her about this?
Plus, Avery didn’t tell her about this when they interacted!
This… was blasphemy!
