Female Novel
Chapter 1326
Adriana knew she couldn't dissuade her. She opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she didn't say anythingmore and just sighed.
Upon seeing this, Rio and Ronald expressed their gratitude sincerely.
“Ms. Garcia, we are deeply grateful for your efforts. You have saved Mr. Cox from distress on numerousoccasions. This kindness will forever be etched in the hearts of everyone in the Cox family.”
Neera waved her hand. “There's no need for thanks, and it's too early for that anyway. I can't say for sure what thesituation is right now. We can only draw conclusions after these forty-eight hours. All we can do now is pray thathe can make it through this most critical moment.”
Upon hearing this, the two elders of the Cox family wore expressions of deep distress.
“I thought you were so capable, but after all this fuss, you're still clueless. To put it bluntly, your medical skillsare subpar, yet you insist on pretending to be more than you are. They might be fooled by you, but I won't be. Letme make this clear. If anything happens to Mr. Cox, the Cox and Gordon families will be enemies!” Albert neverlet an opportunity for criticism slip by, promptly resorting to remarks laced with sarcasm and mockery.
Neera gave him a glance and couldn't be bothered to argue with him. She ignored him completely and turned toenter the medical room.
Chad looked at him with a cool gaze, his tone unfriendly as he said, “The Cox family and the Gordon family havealways been close. When the Gordon family faced difficulties, the Cox family extended a helping hand. TheGordon family has always been grateful, which is why we have been doing our utmost to save Avery, hoping tocure him. As a member of the Cox family, instead of offering support, you're here being a wet blanket. What'syour intention? Could it be that you're harboring ulterior motives, hoping for our failure, wishing for Avery's
demise here so that the position of the head of the Cox family can be replaced?”
Albert's thoughts were seen through, causing his face to suddenly turn unsightly.
He gritted his teeth and said, “You're making baseless accusations! Besides, this is a matter of the Cox family.What does it have to do with the Gordon family? Do you really need to question me here? Chad, even if you'reclose with the Cox family, you shouldn't overstep your boundaries.”
He placed heavy emphasis on his words, serving as an unmistakable warning.
Chad let out a cold laugh. He was about to say something when suddenly, Jean, who had been silent, spoke.
“What Neera needs is peace. It's inconvenient to have such unreasonable people from the Cox family around.Since it's not convenient for the Cox family to take action, I'll do it on their behalf.”
With that, he raised his voice and called out, “Ian!”
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the stairs, swiftly walking toward him.
“Mr. Beauvort, what can I do for you?”
Jean casually pointed at Albert and commanded indifferently, “Drag this man out. If he continues to make aracket or dares to speak disrespectfully, seal his mouth. Lock him in a room and keep an eye on him. He is not tostep out even half a step.”
“Understood.” After Ian finished speaking, he turned and walked toward Albert. “Mr. Albert, please.”
He spoke politely, but his tone and expression were full of disdain and disgust.
Everyone from the Cox family present was stunned. They couldn't believe that there were people loyal to Jean inthis villa.
When did Ian get here?
Albert was the first to react, his face ashen as he began to scold angrily, “Jean, don't think that just because you'rethe CEO of Beauvort Group, you can do whatever you want here! We're in Phison, and this is the Cox residence.Is it your turn to show off your power? You even dare to bring people to the Cox residence! You—ugh!”
Ian's face contorted. Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed his throat.
“Mr. Albert, since you choose to do it the hard way, don't blame me for being impolite.”
In the next moment, he struck the back of Albert's neck. The latter instantly passed out.
Ian looked at the man who had fallen and couldn't get up, kicked him twice to make sure he didn't respond, thenshouted toward the top of the stairs, “Cloud, Storm, stop standing there watching the fun. Come down and helpme carry this guy!”
In a moment, two more figures emerged from the staircase.
Cloud and Storm respectfully greeted Jean first, then swiftly carried Albert away.
The three people came and left in a hurry, leaving everyone from the Cox family present with a look ofbewilderment on their faces.
Who would have thought that Jean's people would emerge in the heavily guarded Cox residence?
Even Adriana found it surprising. novelbin
The only one who remained calm was Chad.
He narrowed his eyes, casting a glance at Jean, his gaze filled with an indiscernible meaning, leaving one towonder what he was thinking.
Facing everyone's surprised or wary gazes, Jean remained unperturbed.
“Everyone, there's no need to worry. These individuals are my close bodyguards, always with me for myprotection. Their presence is solely for the sake of ensuring Neera's safety, with no other intentions. The Coxfamily can rest assured. As for the third elder of the Cox family, my people only knocked him unconsciouswithout any intention to harm him. We've locked him up to prevent any impact on the relationship between theCox and Gordon families. What do you think?”
The last sentence was clearly hinting at the Cox family.
Rio and Ronald knew that the Cox family was in the wrong. They fell silent for a moment and were left with nochoice but to smooth things over.
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Beauvort. Our youngest, indeed, sometimes lacks propriety in his words andactions. It might be for the best to have him step aside for a while.”
Next, they apologized to Chad.
“Chad, please don't take what was said earlier to heart. The relationship between the Cox and Gordon families isunshakeable. As for Ms. Garcia, we are truly grateful to her.”
Chad nodded, not bothering to argue with them.
