Female Novel
Chapter 1431
After Jean left, Neera felt an emptiness in her heart.
However, she knew she had to stay focused.
The conflict with Bartitsu Guild was gradually reaching its peak. She couldn't afford to lose her footing nor showthe slightest hint of vulnerability or unease. She had to pull herself together.
By Jean's side, she could find reliance.
At that moment, however, she was all alone. She had to stay strong and believe in herself.
Due to the sudden departure of several key members from the Gordon family, Neera was worried that BartitsuGuild might seize the opportunity to strike at the Gordon residence. Therefore, she arranged for manpower, fullyalert and ready to deal with any crisis at any moment.
Just as she had predicted, Bartitsu Guild used the explosion incident in the other three districts to continue stirringup public opinion. The uproar was deafening, pushing Neera to the pinnacle of public attention. The commentsmade by the netizens were rather one-sided.
Come on! You're kidding me! Not again! So, looking at it this way, from District Twenty-One to District Twenty-Five, they've all been hit by disaster. Isn't this too much of a coincidence? What on earth is going on?
What on earth is Neera doing managing her five districts? Two districts have had issues consecutively, and shestill hasn't realized the severity of the problem. What is she up to? Is she brainless?
The Gordon family is really in trouble now. How did they end up with such a new head of the family who can'thandle anything? What's the use of her?
Outrageous! Are these explosions accidents or caused by someone? Can accidents really be this coincidental?Somehow, I sense a hint of conspiracy in all this.
It's clear that someone did this on purpose. How could it possibly be an accident? They must be targeting theGordon family. Could this be some form of retaliation?
To be more precise, I think they're targeting Neera. Think about it. The Gordon family has been a steady presencein Bartitsu Guild for over a hundred years, always keeping a low profile and never causing any trouble. But eversince Neera joined the Gordon family, one thing after another has happened. First, they gained a lot of attention,and now they've become a target, with one incident following another. If you ask me, this is a classic case ofsomeone not being suited to their position, and it's bound to lead to problems.
Perhaps Neera has provoked some enemies, so they targeted her five districts. No matter how you look at it, theGordon family is unlucky, getting dragged into this mess by Neera. And as for the five districts, if they hadsubmitted to Bartitsu Guild earlier, they probably wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
I'm so curious. Who on earth has Neera managed to offend? She's only been here for a short time and has alreadycaused a big mess for the Gordon family. She's really something. The other party must not be easy to deal with,able to stir up so much trouble while the Gordon family is unprepared. They're really a tough nut to crack.
Let me speculate for a moment. Could it be Bartitsu Guild? As far as I can recall, aside from the Cox family, theGordon family only has some connections with Bartitsu Guild. Wasn't there a rumor going around a while agothat someone from Bartitsu Guild dealt with a member of the Gordon family?
As soon as that idea was proposed, it was immediately rebutted.
It can't possibly be Bartitsu Guild. Also, if it's about the Gordon family's affairs, it should be about the Gordonfamily seeking revenge against Bartitsu Guild. So why is it that the Gordon family is the one suffering now?
Exactly, and didn't Bartitsu Guild propose to offer Neera the position of the third elder seat? They also want toelevate the status of the Gordon family. This should be considered indirect compensation, right?
Bartitsu Guild has already gone this far. Why would they target the Gordon family? Isn't that just asking fortrouble...
Due to the overwhelming number of rebuttals, the so-called conspiracy theory was quickly suppressed, and soonno one brought it up again.
Neera flipped through the internet, and she couldn't help but sneer when she saw the netizens speaking up forBartitsu Guild. I have to admit, Matthew, that old fox, really knows how to scheme. The trap he set long ago waswaiting right here! Previously, Matthew intentionally spread the news that he wanted to promote me to the boardof elders, all for the purpose of creating a false impression in front of everyone. Now, everyone assumes thatBartitsu Guild, whether out of sincerity or compensation, is trying to win over the Gordon family. They alsobelieve that the negotiations with the Gordon family are almost complete, so it's unlikely they would take anyaction against the Gordon family. With this, the matters concerning District Twenty-One and District Twenty-Fivehave nothing to do with Bartitsu Guild. Ultimately, I'm getting the blame. He probably knew everyone wouldassume that it was my poor management and knack for stirring up trouble that brought disaster to the Gordonfamily and the five districts. novelbin
“Heh...” The corner of Neera's lips curled up slightly, a cool, mocking laugh escaping her. “Such a cunning man.”
Adriana knew who she was talking about, and she let out a soft sigh. “After all, he has lived for more than half ofhis life. It is said that he was groomed to be the leader of Bartitsu Guild from a young age. He was exposed to
intrigue and deception from childhood. Thus, his schemes are naturally profound, not something an ordinaryperson can outwit. You're still inexperienced in the ways of the world, so it's only natural that he was able tomanipulate you. What's surprising is that Chad had let go too quickly, never expecting Bartitsu Guild to be sowildly ambitious. He wasn't careful enough, and he feels somewhat guilty about it now.”
Neera bit her lip corner, shaking her head. “This isn't Uncle Chad's fault. He never wanted to get involved in theseconflicts. It's just that people are unpredictable. Who could have foreseen that Lordsworth Estate would simplyhand over such an important position as district president to me? And who could have imagined that BartitsuGuild would stoop so low just to seize the position?”
