The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1228

Darcel observed Neera’s puzzled expression with a faint smile in his eyes.

Seeing that the Gordon family remained motionless, he took a step forward. In front of everyone, he pulled out the white flag and handed it to Neera.

“Take it, we’re preparing to descend.”

Neera glanced at the white flag, then back at him, and finally, at the others, her expression filled with hesitation, unsure whether to accept it.

Caleb encouraged her, “Ms. Garcia, it’s meant for you. You’ve been through so much on this perilous journey, and you’ve shown remarkable resilience. You deserve it.”

The rest of the group chimed in, “That’s right, take it!”

Neera, biting her lip, turned to look at Shane, seeking his opinion.

Shane understood that this group of people had no intention of contesting, and he nodded slightly to signal his approval.

Seeing this, Neera made up her mind and finally took the white flag into her hands.

The rest of the Gordon family and the Massey family were left in shock, their jaws nearly hitting the ground.

It was almost too unbelievable. Was she now the district president with the white flag in her hand?

Neera looked at the white flag in her hand, relieved that she had finally accomplished this crucial task.

She turned to the group and suddenly gave a deep bow, saying with sincerity, “I want to thank everyone for their help and protection along the way. I also appreciate your generosity in entrusting this white flag to me. Without all of you, there would be no me, and I, along with the entire Gordon family, will always remember this debt of gratitude!”

Neera appeared resolute, her expression serious, and her eyes carried a weighty determination.

The group of people observed her with smiles in their eyes.

Darcel, too, had a subtle, amused curve to his lips, and he couldn’t seem to take his gaze off her face.

This young woman, she was as earnest as ever…

Soon, the group began their descent.

Though coming up had been challenging, going down had a shortcut, so they reached the base of the mountain before nightfall.

At this moment, not far away in the brightly lit square, everyone had already returned.

Matthew, Colin, and Miguel were also there.

From a distance, Avery spotted Neera and quickly approached her.

“Neera, you’ve finally come down!” He examined her from head to toe, concern evident in his voice. “Are you okay? Did you get hurt?”

>>Darcel’s expression darkened as soon as he saw Avery, his displeasure nearly glaring from his face.

Neera, unaware of the tension, responded to Avery’s care, “I’m fine. Thanks for your concern.”

While they were talking, people around them began to turn their gaze, with reactions ranging from shock to disbelief and confusion.

Everyone noticed the white flag in Neera’s hands and started discussing it.

“It’s actually the Gordon family! How is that even possible?”

“Weren’t the Gordon family and the Lordsworth Estate’s people descending together? Lordsworth Estate has so many factions, and they couldn’t outmatch the Gordon family? Unbelievable.”

“Who knows what’s going on? I didn’t expect the Gordon family to benefit in the end…”

At this moment, Miguel, the neutral party’s representative, stood up and announced, “Now that everyone is here, let’s prepare to announce the results. The white flag is currently in the hands of the head of the Gordon family,

so…”

He hadn’t finished his sentence when suddenly a sharp, piercing voice interrupted him.

“Mr. Carson, there is a problem with this election result, and we refuse to accept it!”

The voice was very familiar, and Neera followed it to see Stella’s contorted face.

At this moment, the place where her left arm had been severed was already bandaged, and though she looked pale, she stood up, supporting herself, and loudly voiced her objection.

“Furthermore, we want to report that the Gordon family has betrayed!”

With these words, everyone present was taken aback. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“A betrayal? What’s going on?” Miguel furrowed his brow and inquired.

Stella gritted her teeth and cast a malicious glance at Neera. In front of everyone, she accused her loudly.

“The Gordon family was clearly a part of Bartitsu Guild, but Neera, the head of the Gordon family, secretly conspired with all the factions from Lordsworth Estate to conduct a thorough sweep of Bartitsy Guild’s families, even resorting to violence! This is a blatant act of betrayal!”

With her statement, families that had close ties with the Jennings family also stepped forward to condemn Neera.

“That’s right! The Gordon family showed no regard for the lives of the other Bartitsu Guild families, repeatedly provoking and launching sneak attacks. It’s simply disgraceful!”

“Bartitsu Guild has never had a traitor like this before. The Gordon family used ruthless means to achieve their goals, and their actions are reprehensible.”

“Everyone knows that Lordsworth Estate and Bartitsu Guild have always been at odds. The Gordon family, in pursuit of their objectives, colluded with enemy forces, targeting their own people. They don’t deserve to stay in Bartitsu Guild any longer! Mr. Lozano, as a representative of Bartitsu Guild, you should address this matter!”

“Yes! Today, you must have a resolution for all of us, and punishing the Gordon family is the right thing to do…”

Matthew didn’t want to let this issue linger, so he furrowed his brows, turned to Neera, and asked, “Is what

everyone is saying true, the head of the Gordon family? Did this really happen?”

Neera’s expression turned grim slightly as she contemplated how to respond, but Shane spoke up first.

“Betrayal? The Jennings family, it seems, excels in stirring up trouble and turning the tables, with no other talents to speak of. Have you forgotten, on our way up the mountain, how you, the Jennings family, joined forces with other families to repeatedly ambush and attack the Gordon family?”

He smiled coldly and didn’t show any fear as he fired back.

“Stella, have you forgotten all the attempts to harm us on our way up the mountain? The ambushes and sneak attacks by the Jennings family and their allies?”
