The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 979

The next morning, after breakfast, Jean first dropped Neera off at Startales, then headed to Beauvort Group.

On this trip back to the country, Zephyr also followed along.

Even within his own country, he habitually stayed close to Neera, providing protection at all times.

The two of them entered the company together.

As she returned, the employees who were passing by and those in the same elevator greeted her warmly.

“Ms. Garcia, you're finally back! We've missed you so much during this long absence!”

Neera would respond with a smile all the way. Regardless of the rank of the employees, she could always engage in friendly conversation with them.

After entering the office, Levi also rushed over upon hearing the news.

The moment he saw Neera, a longing that he couldn't suppress surfaced in his eyes. He stared at her intently, completely unwilling to shift his gaze away.

“Neera, you're finally back. You've been gone for so long, I...” He paused for a moment, then continued, “Everyone misses you.”

With a sharp gaze, Zephyr stared at him, a hint of displeasure creasing his brow.

In his view, Levi's gaze was somewhat offensive to Neera.

Zephyr was filled with oppression.

Levi felt a sensation and couldn't help but look toward the unfamiliar man.

The other party was clad in black, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Levi froze momentarily and asked Neera in a murmur, “Who is this gentleman?”

Neera briefly introduced, “His name is Zephyr, my assistant in Essley, who has returned with me this time.”

“I see,” Levi murmured.

Given the formidable and perilous aura of Zephyr, Levi dared not to be too explicit. As a result, Levi became more reserved.

However, Neera didn't pay much attention to his expressions and emotions.

In no time, she switched to work mode, immersing herself instantly. She professionally inquired about the company's recent developments.

The company had been developing steadily because she laid a solid foundation before.

The sales of cosmeceutical products were also booming, with revenues continuously on the rise.

At that point, Startales had firmly established itself domestically, securing its unshakeable place.

In particular, many celebrities used it and praised its usefulness. They had become spontaneous endorsers, helping with a lot of free promotions.

After reviewing the recent reports, Neera was quite satisfied. She then inquired about the situation at Garcia Group.

Levi quickly responded, “All of Garcia Group's employees have now been dismissed. I've already contacted the relevant people about some lingering projects, and they can be terminated at any time.”

Neera nodded. “Understood. Thank you for your help during this time. I appreciate it.”

Levi gave a helpless smile. “There's no need to be so formal with me. I'm just doing what I should. You don't have to thank me.”

In the morning, Neera chose to stay at the company. After handling some important matters, she went to the Garcia Group.

Unsurprisingly, things had changed over time.

Garcia Group was no longer in its glory days, having long lost its once dazzling brilliance.

The current state of the Garcia Group was such that their door was always open, yet no one came to visit.

Neera had never had much affection for that place.

If it weren't for the fact that it was where her mother had struggled in the past, she wouldn't have gone there at all.

Hence, seeing that bleak and desolate scene didn't affect her much.

After entering, she took the elevator, heading straight for Alfonso's office.

Inside, there was a middle-aged man.

At first, Neera didn't recognize him, staring at the man intently for quite a while.

Surprisingly, the man recognized her at first glance. “Ms. Garcia?”

Neera suddenly remembered the man. This man was the lawyer Aunt Adriana had casually mentioned before. He's considered a veteran in Garcia Group.

She walked in and politely greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Velasquez.”

Ryan nodded repeatedly. “I didn't expect you to recognize me, Ms. Garcia! Is there something you need on your return this time?”

Neera uttered frankly, “There is indeed something that needs to be done. Garcia Group no longer has a reason to continue existing. I am here to end it.”

Upon hearing that, Ryan couldn't help but feel a touch of melancholy. His gaze swept across the expansive office.

Then, he sighed and said, “When I was young, I started working at Garcia Group right after graduation. At that time, Ms. Adriana and your mother were both striving here. They were very capable women, fearless, and wholly committed to growing the company. Looking back now, those were the good old days. The entire company was brimming with vitality, and everyone was striving to outdo each other. Who could have imagined that it would turn out like this today...”

Neera didn't indulge in sentimental feelings. She said lightly, “All good things must come to an end.”

However, seeing the old lawyer's dejected expression, an idea came to her. “But, if you're willing, I can recommend you to be a legal consultant at Startales. This company is a subsidiary of the ANXIN Group, founded by my aunt. What do you think?”

Ryan was taken aback momentarily. After that, his face lit up with joy. “Really? Is that appropriate?”

Neera chuckled. “What's inappropriate about it? You are a person of great knowledge and talent, yet you have no place to showcase it. It's a waste of your abilities. I believe that if you were to change your environment, you could shine brilliantly in your field.”

Ryan was overjoyed and kept expressing his gratitude.
