Chapter 158 The Beautiful, Powerful, and Tragic Mr Chapter 158 Neera didn’t notice Jean’s peculiar expression; instead, she overheard lan praising her ahead. 1/6 “Ms. Garcia, you’re truly a heroine among women! Facing off against the formidable members of the Beauvort family, I was actually worried for you at first, but you held your ground and fought bravely. I admire you, genuinely admire you! I didn’t know you had such strength even without using medicine!” This was the first time lan had seen Clarence and his son being put in their place, and he couldn’t have been more satisfied with the outcome. Neera found his words amusing and chuckled. “What are you talking about? Do I look like someone who would casually use medicine?” lan was taken aback for a moment, and his expression twitched slightly. He felt a bit numb and replied, “Aren’t you? If I remember correctly, isn’t that guy still in the hospital?” 11:20 Sat, 26 Aug Chapter 158 The Beautiful, Powerful, and Tragic Mr Neera shrugged her shoulders. “That was a special case. Zachary is a brute,
2/6 not a human! If I hadn’t used medicine against that kind of person, I’d feel like I wasted all the effort I put into preparing those medicines!” lan was left speechless. He wisely decided to keep his mouth shut and reminded himself never to mess with a woman-especially not with someone like Neera. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance to Imperial Gardens. As Neera was about to step out of the car, she remembered the envelopes and the invaluable hand bracelets she had received tonight. “Um, maybe it’s better if you take these back. After all, we’re only bound by a contract, not truly married…” Accepting such valuable gifts under a false identity, Neera couldn’t shake the feeling that it was inappropriate. 11:20 Sat, 26 Aug Chapter 158 The Beautiful, Powerful, and Tragic Mr But Jean shook his head, “Keep them for now. Consider the envelopes as a reward for today’s performance. As for the bracelets, wear them when we visit the Beauvort family next time.” 3/6 Neera thought about it and agreed. Returning the gifts now might give the impression of disrespect to Wrenn and the Beauvort family if she didn’t wear them in the future. Anyway, she could return these things once the contract was over. She nodded and was about to step out of the car. Unexpectedly, Jean grabbed her wrist. Surprised, she turned back to meet the deep, ocean-like gaze of the man. “It’s raining. Take the umbrella before going down.” “Oh… Okay.” 11.20 at, 26 Au Chapter 158 The Beautiful, Powerful, and Tragic Mr She came back to her senses and thanked him softly. Walking down with the umbrella, she couldn’t help but feel the lingering warmth on her wrist.
His touch seemed to stay there, refusing to fade away… An indescribable feeling welled up inside her. When she reached her doorstep, she couldn’t resist rubbing her wrist, trying to shake off that peculiar sensation that wouldn’t leave. Once inside, the triplets were eagerly waiting for her. The three of them, along with their cute pets, rushed over with their short legs, looking expectantly at her. “Mommy, how did it go tonight? Did Uncle Jean’s family elders give you a hard time?” Seeing their adorable faces, Neera’s heart melted, and she smiled tenderly. “Thanks to the information you gathered, I managed to get through it all 4/6 Chapter 158 The Beautiful, Powerful, and Tragic Mr unscathed. You were a great help, and Mommy owes you one.” She praised the triplets and briefly recounted the events of the evening. 5/6 The triplets were astonished. “Uncle Jean’s family is complicated, like a den of wolves… Seeing him like this, it’s heartbreaking. His health is already poor, and he’s targeted by so many relatives. Even though they’re family, he can’t let his guard down; it’s so sad…” Hearing the triplets’ words, Neera couldn’t agree more. Being in control of such a powerful family like the Beauvorts was like having a huge piece of juicy meat. Surrounding them were wolves and tigers, each one trying to sn atch a piece for themselves. It was a truly dire situation. Not to mention Jean’s health… Having to fight his own body, endure the torment of illness, and also deal with this group of scheming relatives, felt like a mix of beauty, strength, and
