Female Novel
Chapter 1108
The expressions on Avery and Shane's faces weren't looking too good either.
One had a furrowed brow, the other with slightly squinted long eyes. It was hard to tell what they were thinking.
Although Neera didn't fully understand the pros and cons yet, she had a rough guess in her heart.
I'm afraid this trip to Phison for the election might not be so peaceful.
If possible, she would rather not get involved in these whirlpools of power struggles.
But she had already agreed, and with that, she couldn't back down.
Otherwise, if Chad went, Aunt Adriana will surely start worrying again.
Her health has just improved. If anything were to happen because of this matter, it would break my heart as herniece.
With this in mind, she suppressed her emotions, and said nothing at all.
Chad looked up at her. His expression softened, and he said gently, “Neera, don't worry about this anymore. Goupstairs and rest. You've had a long day.”
Neera could tell that he still had something to discuss, so she nodded, said goodnight, and then went upstairs.
Downstairs, Shane was feeling somewhat uneasy.
“Uncle Chad, what did Granduncle Baxter mean by what he just said? He wouldn't possibly...”
Chad shook his head with a serious expression. “No matter what, I've made up my mind about this trip to Phison.I'm determined to let Neera go.”
Shane also understood “That is such a great opportunity, so you want her to show her face in front of those peopleas the successor of the Gordon family. Indeed, it would be beneficial for her future control of the Gordon family.”
“Not only that, I also want her to experience the trials and tribulations of Phison. After all, even if the Gordonfamily wishes to remain uninvolved, they are still part of Phison. This connection cannot be erased. In the future,whether she takes over or not, she will have to deal with these people to some extent. It wouldn't hurt tofamiliarize herself with it in advance.”
As the sound faded, Chad looked up solemnly at Avery and Shane.
“In order to play safe, I hope you can accompany Neera to Phison and protect her. I'm not afraid of outsidershurting Neera. With Charles around, he can handle it. But it's hard to guard against a thief within the family. I'mafraid of our own people disliking her and wanting to trip her up when they get the chance. At that time, Charles'status may cause a lot of inconvenience.”
“Rest assured. I will stay with Neera and protect her well.”
Shane sighed, and his expression somewhat speechless.
“Why is Granduncle Baxter still behaving the same way...”
Back then, when Chad took over the Gordon family, managing the entire clan, Baxter was the first one stood upagainst him.
Back then, even though Chad was young, he was extremely capable and decisive in his actions, so no one daredto harbor any ill intentions.
However, Neera's situation would be rather different. Many people were not convinced because she bore adifferent surname.
Moreover, others would certainly think she was easy to manipulate seeing the fact that she was young and awoman with no significant achievements in business to rival the Gordon family.
“For this trip to Phison, I'd rather have Neera attend and act in the place of my fiancée.”
At that moment, a glint flashed in Avery's eyes as he suddenly spoke.
“The Gordon family holds some prestige in Phison. With such a status, so anyone who dares to harm her mustfirst consider if they can bear the consequences.”
Chad hesitated for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, but he didn't object in the end.
In his view, he was not certain whether the young man from the Beauvort family could still be with Neera.
Besides, the Gordon family and the Cox family were related by marriage, so this course of action was not entirelyunacceptable.
No matter what, the most important thing would always be Neera's safety. novelbin
“Alright. I'll see Neera and have a proper conversation with her about this matter.”
In no time at all, the group finished their discussion and each retired to their own rooms to rest.
The next day, Neera was awakened by the triplets.
“Mommy, wake up. It's time for lunch!”
Neera reluctantly opened her eyes in a daze, only to be blinded by the dazzling sunlight, and quickly closed themagain.
Then, she sat up slowly but still feeling a bit groggy.
“What time is it now?”
She rubbed her eyes and asked.
Starry chuckled, “It's already past eleven. Mommy, you have really slept in today.”
Neera would rather not think about how late she had woken up, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Harvey was very considerate. “Mommy has been too tired lately, so she should get more rest. The elders also saidthere's no need to wake you up, and they suggested for you to sleep a little longer.”
Penny nodded with a smile. “Yes, indeed. But lunch will be ready soon. We were worried you might be hungry,so why don't you get up, freshen up, and get ready for the meal?”
Neera chuckled, “Alright, Mommy's getting up now.”
She rolled out of bed, and Sammy followed her like a little tail.
“Mommy, the scenery here is so beautiful! After we eat, can we go diving? Uncle Shane said he would teach us!”
Neera saw how excited and eager they were to go, so naturally, she wouldn't refuse.
