The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 969

Chapter 969 Unfathomable 

For a moment, Alex was also a bit bewildered, unable to understand what was going on. 

Could it be that a cure for Red Rash Powder has really been found? 

But how does that woman have such great capabilities? 

Kyra was feeling upset and, unable to control her temper any longer, couldn’t help but start to make sarcastic remarks. 

“Didn’t you promise me with absolute certainty before that there would be no issues? How are you going to explain this now? You claimed no one else could figure out a cure for Red Rash Powder, yet someone easily treated it! How can I still trust you!” 

Alex furrowed his brows, feeling a bit annoyed inside. However, on the surface, he still placated her with a good-natured demeanor. 

“Kyra, everything is still unknown, so can you please not rush to conclusions? Besides, even if Neera is somewhat capable, so what? Perhaps she got lucky this time and developed a medicine, but that doesn’t mean she can do it every time. If I can create Red Rash Powder, then I can produce something even more powerful!” 

As he spoke these words, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes. 

Just then, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from his assistant. 

On the phone, the assistant’s voice was fraught with anxiety, even bordering on panic. 

“Mr. Jones, we’re in trouble! For some unknown reason, the police have discovered several pharmaceutical factories under our company’s name. At this moment, the police are conducting searches and have found a large amount of harmful drugs! The police and relevant departments have already intervened and are about to initiate legal proceedings!” 

When Alex heard that, his expression changed dramatically. 

“What’s going on? Weren’t those factories always very discreet? Why wasn’t there even a whisper of warning before they were suddenly investigated?” 

The assistant said nervously, “I really don’t know…” 

Alex clenched his teeth and abruptly hung up the phone. He did not bother to finish his meal as he turned to leave. 

Kyra stopped him, her face full of displeasure. 

“What’s going on with you? You haven’t even eaten, so why are you suddenly leaving? What happened?” 

Alex was feeling quite irritable at the moment and was in no mood to cajole anyone. With a cold expression, he tossed out a sentence, “If you want to eat, eat by yourself. If not, come with me!” 

Having said that, he didn’t look back as he continued striding toward the door. 

Kyra was quite upset, but in the end, she had no choice but to catch up. 

After all, Alex still had his uses for now.

Inside a black Mercedes parked outside the restaurant, Zephyr and Ian were leisurely seated in the front row. 

“Want one?” 

Ian was chewing gum and offered one to Zephyr. 

With a glance, Zephyr shook his head in refusal, his expression somewhat disdainful. 

Having long grown accustomed to his attitude, Ian wasn’t bothered. He blew a bubble nonchalantly, his gaze casually drifting toward the horizon, all while wearing a carefree smile. 

Coincidentally, he happened to see the scene of Kyra just as she was chasing after Alex. 

He burst into laughter instantly. 

“Look at these two, acting like their butts are on fire! I should take a picture and send it to him, let him appreciate his own spectacle.” 

Zephyr detected the hidden meaning in his words and turned to look at him. “What’s going on?” 

Ian, with a carefree attitude, said, “Several of his lairs have been raided. Naturally, he’s anxious about it.” 

Zephyr was still confused. “What do 

you mean?’ 

Ian then explained to him, “The Jones family is the descendant of the Norton family, the ones who developed the Red Rash Powder that harmed Mrs. Beauvort! Mr. Beauvort had someone dig up the locations of several factories under their family name and report the information to the police. Now, Jones Group is in complete chaos.” 

At this point, he let out a cold laugh. “He thinks he can hurt Mrs. Beauvort and walk away unscathed? He’s clearly daydreaming!” 

Zephyr instantly understood, his eyes narrowing slightly. 

Just how powerful is this Jean’s background that he can even dig up the Jones family? It’s simply unfathomably deep…. 

Neera had a pleasant dinner with Jean. 

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Jean took the initiative to suggest, “Didn’t you mention wanting to watch a movie last night? I have time this evening to accompany you. It would be a good opportunity to relax.”
