The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1470

Looking at it now, the Gordon family has really hit the jackpot. Just think about it. The Gordon family of the past wasn’t this prosperous? They were nothing more than an obscure third-rate power. But ever since Neera arrived, the Gordon family has undergone a transformation. Not only did they receive special attention from the Lordsworth Estate, but they also easily secured the position of district president. They suddenly gained control over five districts. This kind of fortune is something no one else has.

Those who used to look down on the Gordon family and the forces that bullied them must be regretting it now. Look at how efficient the Lordsworth Estate is, effortlessly bringing down several family forces overnight. I have to say that Lordsworth Estate is truly powerful.

Sh*t! Lordsworth Estate is just too incredible. They actually managed to sneak into Bartitsu Guild and take out these families without anyone noticing. Come on! These families were no pushovers. This is just too powerful. Phew! I wonder what Bartitsu Guild’s reaction is now.

What reaction can they have? Isn’t this equivalent to someone riding roughshod over them? Bartitsu Guild has really made a fool of itself this time.

Though my words may be blunt, they’re not without reason. This recent Bartitsu Guild event has proven to be more trouble than it’s worth. After all the commotion, both the Cox and Gordon families have left, and they’ve even lost the support of several key family powers. I bet the people at the top of Bartitsu Guild are huddled together, worrying now. After all, the balance they thought they had achieved has been shattered. Clearly, the one with the upper hand now is Lordsworth Estate.

Maybe it’s just impotent rage. After all, getting slapped in the face like this and not being able to retaliate is quite a pitiful sight, no matter how you look at it.

To be honest, that’s indeed what’s going on.

While some people were discussing the power of Lordsworth Estate, others started talking about the matters of the Logan family.

I’m going to change the subject here. Have you heard that the head of the Logan family has passed away? This morning, the medical staff went to check on him, only to find that he had died.

Woah! Why so sudden? Didn’t they say he was merely injured?

D*mn! When he got hurt, it was already very serious. I heard he was drinking at a club that belonged to the Logan family. The club was raided, and in the fight, he was stabbed in the eye and lost his sight. He was also crippled. Also, there was something even more severe… I heard he had been rendered impotent!

Pfft! Where did this news come from? This is too shocking! Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Of course, the news came from the hospital. It’s said that since the head of the Logan family was admitted, not a single member of the Logan family had gone to visit him. They just casually sent someone to take care of him while the rest were busy fighting amongst themselves. They didn’t even bother to clean up the mess in the Logan family. But before they could fight to the death, the Logan family was no more.

Those involved in the Gordon family’s rebellion and people from other families were all sent to Judgment Island. As for the others, without the backing of their families, they were worse off than a stray dog on the street. Their past glory was nowhere to be seen. Indeed, when people do bad things, retribution is only a matter of time.

I heard Howard took his own life out of utter despair. Tsk! Whoever drove a person to such extremes must be ruthless.

Ruthless? So what? He wouldn’t have ended up in this situation if he hadn’t been so devious and wicked. I think he deserved it!

Howard truly deserved more than death. He wasn’t worth a shred of sympathy because he wasn’t a good person. He had committed countless wrongs long before now, never short of misdeeds. If you really tally it up, he was notorious in Bartitsu Guild as a villain of the worst kind.

This is a harsh lesson, and everyone should be clear about something from now on. Whatever you do, you don’t bully the Gordon family! Otherwise, you’ll face the terrifying prospect of your entire family being wiped out. Just thinking about it is frightening.

When Neera received the news, she was clearly taken aback. Her face was filled with astonishment when she said, “Lordsworth Estate is actually going to such great lengths to avenge the Gordon family…”

Adriana was also quite curious. “I’m getting more and more puzzled. What kind of incurable disease does the lord have that he would repay your life-saving favor in such a way?”

Neera shook her head in a daze, her face full of confusion. “I don’t know either. I still can’t remember, and I can’t make sense of it.”

Neera had been practicing medicine for many years, treating countless patients, among which there was no shortage of incurable or difficult-to-treat diseases.

Hence, she simply couldn’t imagine who the lord could be.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Chad said in a soft voice, “No matter who he is, once he returns to Lordsworth Estate, we must meet him to express our gratitude personally.”

Neera felt the same way.

Off to the side, Shane held a coffee cup in his hand, leisurely taking a sip, appearing completely at ease. “Compared to the lord of Lordsworth Estate, what I’m really more curious about now is the reaction from Bartitsu Guild. It’s such a pity that I can’t see Matthew’s expression at this very moment. Otherwise, I could have enjoyed a couple more cups of coffee while watching his face.”

Neera chuckled. “Y-You really have a wicked sense of humor, don’t you?”

Shane raised an eyebrow, unconcerned. “He’s been scheming against our family, so naturally, we must show him what we’re made of. I’m naturally delighted now that it’s his turn to be at a disadvantage. What I didn’t expect was that the actions from Lordsworth Estate were so swift and efficient. They managed to bring down so many families under the nose of Bartitsu Guild without anyone noticing. It’s really surprising. But then again, it seems like it’s all part of the cleanup.’

After pondering for a moment, Shane added, “However, I’m not sure why, but I always feel that the actions of Lordsworth Estate have become much more ostentatious than before. In the past, no matter how big the contradictions between the two sides were, I’ve never seen Lordsworth Estate behave like this. It’s clear that the lord of Lordsworth Estate values Neera.”

The conversation meandered and eventually circled back to Neera. She herself was somewhat confused, her mind still trying to sketch the image of the lord of Lordsworth Estate, but she just couldn’t conjure it up.

However, she did remember something very important. “Right, even though the lord isn’t here, I should go and thank Mr. Wiley. After all, when the lord is away, all the affairs of Lordsworth Estate are

managed by Mr. Wiley. He must have handled this matter, so I should express my gratitude.”

Chad nodded. “You’re absolutely right.”

Soon, Neera picked up her phone to make a call, but before she could dial out, she heard the butler come to report.

“Mr. Wiley has arrived,” the butler said.

Speak of the devil! Neera’s eyes lit up, and she quickly went to greet the person herself and invited him

That day, Colin was dressed in a silver-grey suit. Due to the cooler weather, he had added a long trench coat, giving him an elegant and graceful appearance, much like a modest gentleman.

He greeted Neera with a smile, his manner extremely polite. “Ms. Neera, it’s an honor for Lordsworth Estate to have you here. In fact, I should have personally taken care of this matter, but considering the Gordon family’s preference for keeping a low profile and hearing that you’re not one for ostentation, I decided to let Caleb take over. I should have come yesterday, but I thought you might be tired from your journey and needed a good rest, so I postponed it until today. I hope you understand.”
