Female Novel
Chapter 1133
Upon seeing those words, Neera couldn't understand why, but her fear was inexplicably quelled.
He had always been like that in her memories, uttering simple phrases that seemed to possess a magical powercapable of soothing her restlessness.
After bidding each other goodnight, she buried her face in her pillow, his words still echoing in her mind.
She felt as if her heart was filled to the brim, and she couldn't help but smile.
That night, she didn't think about anything and had a good, peaceful sleep.
Early the next morning, Shane came over.
Seeing Neera dressed in a gown and exuding a touch of dignified elegance, he was momentarily stunned. Then,he grinned, his eyes filled with pure admiration. novelbin
“Neera, let's go. I've come to take you back to the Gordon residence.”
Neera nodded and followed him out the door.
Avery also accompanied them all the way, even bringing along a team of subordinates to closely follow.
The scene was somewhat grand.
On the way, Shane asked Neera, “In the past couple of days, have you come to understand the structure of theGordon family members? Do you need me to explain it to you again?”
“Yes. Currently, apart from Uncle Chad, the Gordon family only has two of the eldest elders. One is the secondelder, Robin Gordon, and the other is the third elder, Baxter Gordon. The majority of the remaining people are ofthe same generation as Uncle Chad.”
“Indeed, that's the case,” Shane added. “You need to pay special attention to the two sons of Granduncle Baxter,Troy Gordon and Ollie Gordon. These two have always been overshadowed by Uncle Chad. They've always beenat odds with him and have tried to trip him up in the past. However, their attempts have always been thwarted byUncle Chad. Although they are resentful, they have been holding back due to Uncle Chad's capabilities. But thistime...”
Before he could finish his sentence, Neera fathomed his intention. I've met Troy at the birthday banquet last time.He's no pushover. This time, with Uncle Chad not around, the two brothers will surely vent their frustration onme, doing everything they can to cause a scene.
“But you don't need to worry too much about the two of them. I will protect you. As for the rest of the family,they are divided into two factions. Granduncle Robin supports Uncle Chad, while the other faction supportsGranduncle Baxter. The influence between the two sides is roughly equal. That's pretty much the situation.”
“All right. I understand.” Neera made a mental note of everything.
In the midst of their conversation, the group arrived at the Gordon residence.
The Gordon residence, too, was a lavish and luxurious mansion.
At that very moment, outside the main gate of the manor, two rows of tall and formidable bodyguards stoodready, forming an impressive line-up.
When Neera looked out the car window, his face remained impassive, but there was a slight ripple in her heart.
She had never seen such a grand spectacle before. Moreover, knowing that she was about to face a situation akinto a bloody storm, it was inevitable that her emotions would be in turmoil.
She quietly took a deep breath at that moment, ready to drive on.
However, Avery grabbed her arm to stop her.
“Hold on. Now that you're here, you need to assert your authority. Always remember that you are the heir to theGordon family, the soon-to-be head of the household. At all times, you must maintain your dignity. You cannotshow even the slightest weakness in front of others. The more you do, the easier it will be for them to manipulateand bully you.”
Clarity washed over Neera. “It's my oversight.”
After she finished speaking, her gaze lowered subtly, and she gently freed her wrist from his grasp.
Looking out the window at the countless pairs of eyes, her gaze deepened. She composed herself, reining in allhumility and kindness, her expression subtly turning cold.
When she got out of the car, her aura had noticeably changed.
She was born beautiful, naturally exuding an aura of aloofness. However, she usually didn't put on airs, adding atouch of approachability and charm to her mien.
At that instant, she stood expressionless before the crowd, her slender figure tall and upright. Her aloof and noble
demeanor, which suggested she was unapproachable, was immediately apparent.
Avery's eyes were filled with admiration. She's truly smart, understanding everything with just a hint.
Even Shane was quite surprised.
Walking up to her, he reassured her softly once again, “Neera, there's no need to be nervous. If they intentionallymake things difficult for you, I'll stand up for you.”
While that was easier said than done, Neera understood that if she couldn't resolve the issue today, it would onlygive people more ammunition to use against her in the future.
She nodded in agreement, her face showing compliance, but inside, she was devising her own strategies.
Under the watchful eyes of bodyguards on either side, the group entered the manor, making their way through thegrand mansion.
At that moment, all the important members of the Gordon family had gathered there. The hall was packed withpeople, creating a solemn atmosphere. The air itself seemed to be taut with tension.
After a quick glance, Neera immediately recognized the two elders leading the group.
One of them was Baxter, and although she'd never met the other, she could guess he was Robin.
The spirit of the venerable second elder was vibrant; he wore an air of authority, yet when he looked over, therewas a faint hint of amiability.
Clearly, her arrival disrupted the stagnant status quo, drawing everyone's attention.
Others gazed at her with looks of assessment, scrutiny, and criticism, and in the eyes of some young people, therewas a full measure of playful teasing and disdain.
Neera swept her gaze over everyone, taking in their expressions without betraying her own emotion.
She appeared nonchalant. Her expression was very calm, and she exuded an air of composed ease.
However, she didn't walk in right away.
Given her current status, she should be sitting in the main seat.
However, no one had prepared a seat for her.
That was clearly a sign of disrespect toward her. It was as if none of them was taking her seriously.
