The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 879

Neera was no exception. She was shocked to find that there were more guests who had just arrived.

She turned around and asked curiously. “Who is it?”

The butler’s expression was a little weird, as if he had been greatly frightened. He didn’t answer her, and invited the guests into the house hurriedly.

Soon, two tall men in tuxedos appeared at the party.

They looked striking among the crowd, their manners regal and poised.

As soon as they appeared, the hall was filled with gasps and exclamations, as if everyone had just lost their ability to speak.

Neera felt like she was just struck by lightning. Her brain wasn’t able to comprehend the sight in front of her.

Although she didn’t know the two men personally, she had seen them on the news before.

The one on the left was the third prince of Essley’s royal family, Prince Gale!

The one on the right was Essley’s youngest duke, Sir William!

The guests who were present were mostly from Essley, so when they saw the two royals, they were utterly stunned.

Many of them rubbed their eyes again and again. They couldn’t believe it!

There were also some of them who thought that they were hallucinating and even pinched their own thighs.

It was no wonder at all that they couldn’t come to their senses. Even noble figures such as Mr. Rackman and Mr. Anthony’s families couldn’t get in touch with the royals so easily.

But now, they were here at Neera’s birthday party!!!

As the crowd was trying to recover from their shock, the two royals walked ahead to Neera steadily and expressed their greetings to her.

“Excuse me, are you Ms. Garcia?”

Neera blinked her eyes in a state of daze, and responded slowly. “Yes, I am…”

Prince Gale immediately let out a friendly smile, and took a glance at Jean, gesturing his own arrival.

“Hello, I believe it’s my first time meeting you. I’ve been invited by my good friend to celebrate his lover’s birthday party. Happy birthday.”

Beside him, Sir William also greeted her with a smile and said: “So was I. Happy birthday, Ms. Garcia.”

Neera was stunned. She then subconsciously looked at Jean.

He immediately exchanged glances with her, curled his lips upwards and said in a whisper: “Initially, I made a call to get you some support, but I didn’t think that you had settled it yourself already.”

Neera was touched to know that Jean had put in so much effort for her, even the Prince and the Duke were moved by his gesture too.

She pursed her lips and said softly: “But how…”

Realistically speaking, the guests that Jean had invited were the true heavyweights.

Even though Mr. Rackman and Mr. Anthony were famous in the business world and not to be messed with, they couldn’t hold a candle to Prince Gale and Sir William.

The royal duo were the ones who had ultimate power in the room. Their statuses were so respected that no one could compare.

Especially Prince Gale, he could very well take over the throne one day!

This kind of connection could really blow people away!

At that moment, Neera finally calmed down, and without a bit of slightness, quickly expressed her welcome.

“Prince Gale, Sir William, it’s my honor to have you here at my birthday party.”

Prince Gale looked at her and smiled elegantly.

“My pleasure, Ms. Garcia. Your beauty is one that I’ve heard of many times, and indeed, you’ve certainly lived up to your reputation. No wonder Jean fell in love with you.”

He then looked at Jean, who was much more at ease.

“Long time no see, Jean! Why didn’t you tell us that you were here in Essley earlier? Are you really our friend?”

Jean raised his lips and responded with a grin: “I’ve been busy, I didn’t have the time to catch up!”

Sir William didn’t miss the chance to tease him. “Are you busy making your wife happy?”

Jean didn’t deny it though. He calmly nodded and said: “You can say that.”

While the men were teasing and joking with each other, the crowd of guests stood on the side dumbfounded.

Everyone was shocked till they were numb!

The guests who were only polite to Neera for the sake of giving the Gordons face did not dare to look down on her anymore.

Her own network of connections was already strong enough on its own. She could get tycoons like Mr. Rackman and Mr. Anthony to come and celebrate her birthday personally.

But her boyfriend’s connection on the other hand, was so expansive that no one could fathom.

He could even refer to members of the Essley royal family as his bros!

After such a turn of events, who would still dare to criticize anything about Neera? Who would still dare to question her ability of being the head of the Gordon family?

As the good friends were chatting away, Chad finally looked at Baxter, and said coldly: “Do you still have a problem with Neera being my successor?”

Baxter’s face changed, he couldn’t utter a single word.

“Since you don’t, then it’s settled. I won’t take what happened tonight to heart. However, after tonight, I don’t want to hear anymore doubts or anything similar to tonight, got it?”

His tone was stoic and flat, but filled with warning.

The Gordons’ faces look like they’ve sunk to the bottom of the sea, their hearts filled with displeasure.

Even if they had any objections, they wouldn’t dare to even say half a word.

After all, their faces looked like they were beaten until they were swollen…
