Chapter 1098
As soon as Cloud stepped through the door, he hurriedly asked before his feet even came to a halt, “Mr. Beauvort,are you all right?”
Jean glanced sideways, his expression indifferent. “I'm fine. Why have you both returned?”
Cloud steadied his breath. “We heard about your accident. Seeing you safe and sound now, we can finally put ourmind at ease.”
Seeing that Jean was fine, Storm promptly bowed his head, acknowledging his mistake.
“Mr. Beauvort, we were wrong to act without your permission. We are ready to accept our punishment.”
Jean knew they were concerned about him. He didn't blame them for anything and just asked, “Is there any resultfrom Asher's side?”
Storm and Cloud exchanged glances, both shaking their heads.
“There's still no news. Someone is covering for Asher, so he must be comfortably hidden away. We had hoped tolure him out of hiding and make him reveal his whereabouts voluntarily, but we haven't succeeded.”
Jean knew their capabilities well. If they couldn't track the person down, then Asher's backer must have made amove.
Only in this way could he evade the pursuit of the two.
After some thought, he changed his mind.
“Asher knows he's in the eye of the storm right now. Since he's asked for help, he won't expose himself for awhile. I'll send someone else to keep an eye on him. You two, let this matter rest for now and focus on trackingdown the people who targeted me and my dad.”
Storm and Cloud had already heard the news about Frederic's car accident.
Upon hearing the command from their own boss, the two of them pondered for a moment.
“Do you suspect that the same person attacked you and Mr. Frederic?”
The man's eyes slightly narrowed, a glint of cold light fleeting across his attractive gaze.
“I'm ninety percent sure that it's the work of the same person.”
Anyone who dares to mess with the Beauvort family, no matter who they are, will regret it!
Due to the car accident, he had to once again postpone his plans to go abroad.
It was not that he was unwell.
He was just worried that the puppet master behind the scenes was still watching him like a tiger stalking its prey.
In this situation, if he were to fly to Essley and were attacked again, it could potentially involve Neera and thechildren.
He was neither willing nor able to take this risk.
Looking at the radiant smile on his phone screen, he felt his heart filling with deep regret and longing.
In Essley, as Adriana's birthday drew closer, a sense of anticipation began to subtly stir within Neera.
She had been apart from Jean for so long, so that man should seize this opportunity to appear before her, right?
Even though she was still giving him the silent treatment, she couldn't help but feel emotional.
She even pretended to go to the mansion bought by Jean to fetch something, but in reality, she just wanted to seeif that man had returned.
Upon arriving there, all that was present was the chill of an empty room and the servants responsible for cleaning.There was nothing else.
Neera stood in the empty living room, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, leavingher once joyful heart filled with nothing but disappointment.
The three little ones had been following her all along and had noticed her mood. They were anxious.
While Neera went upstairs to get something, they huddled together, whispering, “What's going on with Daddy?Tomorrow is Grandaunt's birthday. Why hasn't he come back yet?”
“Yeah, Mommy seemed really upset just now. She must be hoping for Daddy to come back. Daddy is really tooslow!”
Harvey was also anxious, so he directly sent a message to Jean: Daddy, why haven't you arrived yet? Aren't youplanning to attend Grandaunt's birthday banquet?
Upon seeing the message, Jean replied: I'm sorry. I might need to delay my trip for a few days and may not makeit to the birthday banquet.
“Ah... How could this be!”
Seeing the message, Penny couldn't help but stamp her foot. novelbin
The three little ones had been waiting for him with bated breath, eagerly waiting. But all they got was a no-show,leaving them somewhat disappointed.
They asked: Daddy, is there anything that can't be put aside for now? This is a great opportunity, you know.Mommy is really looking forward to your arrival. Who knows, you might reconcile as soon as you return!
How could Jean possibly not know?
But given the current situation, he must consider the safety of Neera and the children. He absolutely could notrush over before the matter had been thoroughly investigated.
With this in mind, he could only apologize once again: I indeed have unavoidable matters to attend to. Don'tworry, I will explain everything to her.
