Female Novel
Chapter 1138
Avery looked at Tiago coldly, not bothering to hide the hostility in his eyes.
“It's been quite a while, hasn't it? What brings you to District Fourteen today? Don't tell me you've come to enjoythe spectacle of the Gordon family's mess?”
Tiago found his caution amusing, chuckled, and said nonchalantly, “What's so interesting about the Gordonfamily's mess? It's just a bunch of fools causing internal strife.”
A bunch of fools...
Baxter gritted his teeth, while the expressions of the brothers, Troy and Ollie, turned increasingly gloomy oneafter the other.
“Oh? So... could it be that you're here for the district president's election? Ha, does such a trivial matter requiresomeone of your stature to personally deal with the Gordon family?”
The only reason Avery could think of was this.
After hearing the comment, Baxter shuddered all over, staring at Tiago with an anxious look in his eyes.
Even the eyes of usually haughty Robin darkened accordingly.
“The election assembly hasn't begun yet. Although the Gordon family has a candidate, nothing is set in stone. Mr.McClure, have you come today to make a move against the Gordon family?”
Tiago chuckled lightly. “Indeed, I'm here because of the election.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Gordon family became tense. As if they were facing aformidable enemy, they no longer harbored the desire for internal strife. All of them focused on Tiago's everymove, afraid that he would suddenly cause trouble.
“Why are you all so nervous? I haven't finished speaking yet.”
Tiago raised an eyebrow, his captivating eyes fully reflecting an air of casual nonchalance.
Suddenly, he turned to look at Neera and began to scrutinize her.
So, this is the person whom my lord holds dear in his heart. She has a beauty that could launch a thousand ships.Coupled with her abilities, she is truly a match for him.
In just a few short seconds, he had already considered Neera as one of his own.
As for Neera, she looked puzzled and felt uneasy under his gaze.
Avery's face remained calm. He stepped forward, positioning himself between her and Tiago, effectively blockingTiago's gaze.
Seeing this, Tiago's laughter became even more enigmatic.
“Mr. Cox, there's no need for you to be so guarded against me. What could I possibly do in front of so manypeople? Besides...”
He paused for a moment, suddenly tilting his head. His gaze passed over Avery's shoulder as he gave Neera aplayful wink.
“I came this time specifically to see you, Ms. Garcia.”
After hearing that, Neera was taken aback. She pointed to herself and asked, “Me?”
Everyone also turned to look at her, their faces filled with confusion.
Tiago nodded. “Yes, many of you may not know this, but Ms. Garcia and the Lord of Phison share a deep bond. Iheard that she is visiting the Gordon family today to acknowledge her ancestors and return to her roots, so mylord has specifically sent me to extend his congratulations.”
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Even Neera was utterlyastounded.
Shane was somewhat puzzled and asked Neera, “When did you get to know the Lord of Phison? How come younever mentioned it before?”
Neera was equally clueless, muttering under her breath, “How would I know? I don't even know any Lord ofPhison at all. Maybe this person has mistaken me for someone else...”
Tiago's hearing was excellent. He chuckled and said, “Rest assured that I haven't mistaken you for someone else.my lord said that you once saved his life, and he will never forget that you're his savior for the rest of his life.”
When the words were spoken, the entire Gordon family was taken aback.
Our little Neera is actually the savior of the Lord of Phison? Are you kidding me?
Neera suddenly understood what was going on, but she had saved so many people that she really couldn'tremember when she had saved this so-called Lord of Phison.
At that moment, she nodded. “So that's how it is. I would like to thank you and Your Lord for today.”
Tiago smiled faintly. “Ms. Garcia, it's too early to express your gratitude. I came today with another purpose, toconvey the intentions of my lord. He hopes that you can become the head of the Gordon family.”
Having said that, he redirected his gaze toward the crowd, focusing particularly on Robin and Baxter.
“If anyone disagrees, feel free to step forward and spar with me. Let's have a fair contest. If you can defeat me, Ipromise to leave immediately and never interfere in this matter again!”
Upon hearing those words, Baxter's face turned red with rage burning within him.
He knew how powerful Tiago was and that no one was capable of defeating him.
“Hmph, Mr. McClure, given how skilled you are, isn't it clear that you're intentionally making things difficult forthe Gordon family? Despite your authority, this is still an internal family affair. Broadly speaking, it's also amatter of District Fourteen and a matter of the Bartitsu families. It has nothing to do with Lordsworth Estate. Youare an outsider and truly have no right to interfere!” novelbin
At that moment, all he could do was use that line of reasoning, hoping that Tiago would understand the situationand leave immediately.
Instead of leaving, Tiago leisurely strolled over to the couch and sat down leisurely. His long legs were crossed,exuding an aura of absolute authority.
“Apologies, but my lord has issued a strict order. Anyone who dares to bully Ms. Garcia today will be consideredan enemy of Lordsworth Estate!”
