However…
“Even so, you mustn’t speak in such an ambiguous manner in the future. Even if you don’t mean anything by it, there’s no guarantee others won’t misunderstand.”
Whenever it involved Neera, Jean couldn’t tolerate even the slightest misunderstanding.
Jean gently pinched Neera’s chin, lifting it slightly to meet his squinted eyes. Her heart pounded in her chest.
Even after being together for so long, whenever she saw his eyes filled with possessiveness and heard his domineering words, she couldn’t help but be moved.
The thought of this man, who only showed this side of himself in her presence, expressing all his love and care for her without any reservation, filled her with even more satisfaction and joy. In truth, he’s not the only one with a strong desire for exclusivity. I feel the same way too.
At that thought, she smiled charmingly, her eyes sparkling, radiating a captivating glow. “Okay. I’ll listen to you.”
That phrase sounded familiar. Jean remembered that he often used to say the same thing to coax her and couldn’t help but laugh.
He gently pinched her soft cheek, his hand sliding down to hold hers once again as he deftly changed the subject. “What’s your plan now?”
After some thought, Neera said, “I guess there’s nothing else. For now, Shane is taking care of those five districts for me. Uncle Chad is helping me get a feel for the situation. As for the guild, they’re
probably focused on the Jagger family’s affairs right now, so there’s no need for me to do anything.”
Jean’s eyebrows lifted slightly. “So, can you spare some time for me now?”
Neera smiled. “Absolutely.”
Jean was quite satisfied. “What do you want to do? Phison is vast. Do you want to go somewhere else?”
Neera chuckled. “You sound like a tour guide, as if you’re very familiar with this place.”
Jean paused for a moment, then casually said, “I heard a few things on my way here.”
Neera didn’t dwell on that. She nodded, then suddenly turned her head to look at the sea, an idea forming in her mind. “How about we take the three little beasts and set out to sea together?”
Naturally, Jean would agree to anything she asked for. He agreed without a second thought.
He was just about to suggest making the arrangements himself when he heard Neera say, “All right, then, I’ll have someone prepare the yacht when we get back. We’ll set off first thing tomorrow morning.”
Only then did Jean remember his current status. He arched his brow, curled his lips, and said, “Okay.”
Just as Jean and Neera got into the car and left the dock, another vehicle emerged from around the corner of the dock warehouse.
Phoebe sat in the driver’s seat, her beautiful eyes shrouded in gloom, losing their charm and revealing a hint of ruthlessness.
That day was the day Avery set off, and she was fraught with worry.
That day was the day Avery set off, and she was traught with worry.
She had intended to accompany Avery there, to bid him farewell, but he ruthlessly rejected her, not even sparing her a glance before he left.
That feeling of being completely overlooked brought her both pain and resentment.
She quietly followed him out, just for the sake of stealing a distant glance at him. In a deserted corner, she watched him leave, her eyes lingering on him with reluctance.
When she saw that Neera had also arrived, her resentment intensified. Seeing Avery’s gentle demeanor toward Neera, Phoebe was almost driven to madness by jealousy. Why has Avery never treated me this way? Where do I fall short compared to her? Is it because I am his nominal cousin, and because of this constraint, he refuses to acknowledge my feelings for him? If that’s the case, I won’t mind ending this relationship! We aren’t related by blood, so why can’t we be together?
Ju
A myriad of thoughts swirled in her mind. All her emotions, upon seeing the man beside Neera, initially simmered down. However, after a two-second pause, they transformed into deep-seated anger.
Just by looking at that man’s appearance and the aura he exuded, Phoebe could guess that he was no ordinary individual. How on earth does Neera have such incredible luck to be surrounded by so many outstanding men? She has the love of someone like Avery, but she doesn’t know how to cherish it. Instead, she’s choosing to be with another man? I’ve been yearning to be with Avery for so many years, yet my wish could never be fulfilled! Neera Garcia! I’ll never let her get away with this!
The car sped along the road, and as soon as she returned to the Cox residence, she immediately made a phone call. “Find out for me the background of the man accompanying the head of the Gordon family, and do it as soon as possible!”
A deep and hoarse voice sounded on the other end of the line. “Understood, Ms. Cox.”
In less than half an hour, she received a phone call. “The man’s name is Jean Beauvort, the current head of the Beauvort family in Kingsview and the CEO of Beauvort Group.”
”
“Beauvort Group? Are you sure he’s from the Beauvort family in Kingsview? Are you certain there’s no mistake?” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“Absolutely, without a doubt.”
Kingsview’s Beauvort family was a renowned and prestigious household, well-known even in Phison.
The prestigious reputation of Beauvort Group went without saying. Even the top-tier families of Phison held it in high regard.
Phoebe had anticipated that the man was of no ordinary status, but she didn’t expect him to be that formidable. Neera is indeed lucky. She managed to be with such an exceptional man and even became acquainted with the Gordon family. She underwent a complete transformation and became the head of the Gordon family. Not only does she have a marriage arrangement with the Cox family, but Avery is also thoroughly captivated by her.
For a moment, Phoebe couldn’t articulate her inner feelings.
