The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1479

Neera had anticipated Nigel and Maggie to be shameless, but she never imagined they could stoop this low.

The next day, Jean received a call from Mr. Jenkins, which was somewhat unexpected.

“What happened at home, Mr. Jenkins?”

Under normal circumstances, Mr. Jenkins would not have directly called Jean.

So, Jean’s first reaction was to ask if something happened to the Beauvort family.

Beside him, Neera was lazily lying on his legs, reading a book.

Upon hearing this, she tossed her book aside, looking at him with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to continue.

Mr. Jenkins’s tone was somewhat serious as he said respectfully, “There’s trouble at home, Mr. Beauvort. Could you and Mrs. Beauvort possibly return for a while?”

Jean was even more surprised, “What exactly happened?”

Mr. Jenkins was clearly hesitant, pausing for a moment before he said, “The adoptive parents of Mrs. Beauvort have come to us, claiming they have nowhere else to go. They want the Beauvort family to take them in, and from what they’re implying, they also want to ask your parents for some money.”

Upon hearing this, Jean’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.

He paused for a moment, then asked, “What about now? What’s the current situation?”

Mr. Jenkins sighed. “Normally, in such situations, Mr. Frederic and Madam would simply kick the person out. I don’t know what Madam was thinking, but she actually let them stay. She arranged for them to stay in the guest room, saying that she would wait for you and Mrs. Beauvort to return before making a decision.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“I see,” Jean responded in a deep voice, indicating that he understood what was going on. He then hung up the phone without saying if he would return or not.

Neera saw his face darken slightly. She sat up and tugged at his sleeve as she asked, “What’s wrong?”

After a moment of hesitation, Jean told her the truth.

After hearing it all, Neera’s face instantly turned ashen, clearly showing her anger.

“How could they be so shameless?”

They actually had the audacity to go to the Beauvort Manor? They really have no shame!

She could bear it no longer, and immediately stood up.

Jean grabbed her arm. “Where are you going?

Gritting her teeth in frustration, Neera said angrily, “I’m going back! I want to see what kind of tricks they’re going to pull next!”

Jean stood up, supporting her by the shoulders as he turned her to face him. “If you go back now, you’ll be falling right into their trap. Their commotion is clearly designed to force you into submission,” he said while looking her in the eyes.

Neera understood what he meant, but she couldn’t detach herself from the situation and remain indifferent.

The thought of her adoptive parents actually going to the Beauvort Manor and causing such a huge scene, she just couldn’t suppress the anger in her heart.

There was another kind of shame, swirling in her heart, making her feel unbearably humiliated and

angry.

“No, I must go back.”

Her eyes were resolute, clearly showing that she had made up her mind, and no amount of persuasion would work on her.

“Avoiding them like this is pointless. Now, it’s time to put an end to it.”

As she spoke, a sharp glint flashed across her eyes, chillingly intense.

Seeing that she had already made up her mind, Jean sighed lightly, took her hand, and gently kneaded it.

“All right, then. Since you’ve made up your mind, we’ll go back together.”.

After saying this, he continued with a sense of helplessness, “I had hoped that you could relax and no longer be troubled by worries once we reached Lordsworth Estate. But it turns out you still have to worry about such things. It’s a shame indeed.”

Neera understood that his heart ached because of her. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of guilt.

“I’m sorry; I didn’t think they would cause a ruckus at the Beauvort Manor, which would cause trouble for you.’

No sooner had she finished speaking than a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Jean’s eyes. He curled his fingers and lightly tapped her head.

“Are you seriously saying that to me?”

Neera grunted softly as she clutched her head and rubbed it.

“I just… I just don’t want to get you and the Beauvort family involved in such troublesome matters.”

She would feel a bit better if it were just him, but she couldn’t help but feel guilty as the elders of the Beauvort family were affected as well.

Jean understood the little thoughts in her heart and teased her again, “Now that you’re married to me, the Beauvort family is your source of support. There’s no trouble that we can’t handle. I’m more than willing to help you sort out these vexing issues. However, if you wish to handle them on your own, I’ll respect your decision. As for my parents, I believe they feel the same way.”

Neera looked up at him, her gaze serious. After a few seconds of silence, she gently responded with a “Okay.”

Before long, she informed Adriana and Chad of her decision to return to her home country.

Upon hearing that it was related to her adoptive parents, both of them simultaneously furrowed their brows.

“What do they want? Do they expect you to support them for the rest of their lives?”

A hint of icy coldness flashed in Neera’s eyes. “Pretty much.”

Adriana’s expression was rather grim. “That’s all the more reason to ignore them. We need to show them that they won’t get any money out of you no matter what they do. Only then, will they back down.”

Neeta initially thought it would be this way, but she had severely underestimated the shamelessness of those two people. As such, she knew that this method simply wouldn’t work.

She comforted Adriana, “Don’t worry, Aunt Adriana. We have to face it sooner or later anyway. I know what I’m doing.”

Seeing that her mind was made up, Adriana had no choice but to agree.

“All right, then. If you want to go back, then head on back. It will be a good chance to see the kids too.”

Neera smiled, affectionately wrapping her arm around Adriana’s as she said, “Yeah, we’ll see how things go. If it isn’t anything serious, we’ll even bring them over. By the time we return, your wedding with my uncle should be all set. When that time comes, I want to personally hand you over to my uncle!”

Adriana’s face flushed at her words, her smile gentle and charming as she said, “What are you babbling about, you silly girl?”

That night, Neera and Jean took a red-eye flight, rushing back to Kingsview.

Meanwhile, it was evening in Kingsview. The sun was setting in the west, gradually darkening the sky.

Maggie and Nigel were arranged to stay in the guest room of the Beauvort Manor. At the moment, they were rummaging through the room, touching everything while their eyes gleamed with curiosity.

“The Beauvort family sure knows how to live lavishly. Even a guest room is decorated so beautifully. I bet every single item in this room costs a fortune.”

Nigel glanced at her, his expression showing a hint of disdain.

“Isn’t that stating the obvious? What kind of family do you think this is? They’re so wealthy that even the most trivial thing can exceed our comprehension. Just look at this mansion. It’s even bigger than where that wretched girl lives. Every corner reeks of luxury. We shouldn’t have bothered with that girl in the first place! We should have come straight here!”

“Exactly!” Maggie was so excited that she was speaking faster without even realizing it.

“I didn’t expect the couple from the Beauvort family to be so reasonable, especially Madam Beauvort. She agreed to let us stay as soon as we revealed that we are the adoptive parents of that wretch. I thought she would be a tough character to deal with, but she’s actually quite easy.”

As she spoke, her face once again revealed an expression of both envy and admiration.

“These people sure are wealthy. Just look at her clothes! Her face looks so well-maintained too! It must all be thanks to her money. If only I could be like her…”
