The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean)

Chapter 452

Jean quickly grasped the whole picture. novelbin

It was evident that his mother's opposition to his union with Neera had not waned. Her silence over the past fewdays was merely due to the debt of gratitude she felt towards Neera for saving her life.

Her current actions, trying to pair him with Kyra, revealed her true intention.

Traces of rage crept into his face.

He snickered and asked, "Now what? You arranged for me to get married for some superficial reason. Afteryou've reaped its benefits, do you wish to cast Neera aside and substitute her with another? Is this your idea of theperfect daughter-in-law?"

From the other end, Wrenn's voice broke in sharply, "How dare you address your father in such a manner?"

She had been eavesdropping the entire time and was interrupted when Jean retorted harshly.

Jean had foreseen this.

He retorted with biting sarcasm, "So let me get this straight. You want me to parade Kyra in front of the media,seemingly introducing a new artist, but in actuality, you're sending out a clear message that she's backed by me.

"Many media outlets would be there. How would they report this? That Beauvort Group and the Marks family arenearing a union? Or that the two families have long had marital intentions? Or perhaps that Kyra and I havesecretly fallen for each other?"

He had exposed his mother's underlying motive.

Caught off guard, she was momentarily speechless but then admitted it openly.

"Yes, that's precisely my plan, but it's for your benefit! Are you going to be a stepfather? Jean, remember, you'rethe Beauvort heir. Your marital choices aren't just personal; they reflect on the family's standing and legacy.

"If Neera was without children, maybe I'd consider it. But she has three! I'll never agree that you two should staymarried. As for Kyra..."

She paused, then added, "She's a good match. She is polite and respectful, and she admires you. She carriesherself with grace. While her family might not be on par with ours, we know them well.

"If you're considering a split with Neera, this is the opportune moment to introduce Kyra. Everything willnaturally fall into place. If you don't act now, then when?"

Jean's patience was thinning. He detested others interfering with his life decisions.

When he was sick, his father had already forced him into getting married. Now, his mother wanted to manipulatehim again.

His tone became icy, saying, "I'll never do as you say. I'll handle my marriage with Neera. I should remind youthat even if Neera and I end up divorcing, my other half will never be Kyra."

After saying this, he hung up.

Ian had overheard the entire conversation and witnessed Jean's demeanor turn icily.

He couldn't help but think that it was unlikely for Jean and Neera to divorce.

As an outsider, he could see that both of them had developed feelings for each other. They were just too caught upin their emotions to see it.

Then Jean's phone buzzed again. This time, he received a message.

Wrenn refused to give up. She sent him a threatening message.

"If you refuse to attend the event, then I will! One way or another, everyone will know about Kyra!"

Jean's gaze darkened even further. There was anger building within.

Ian was terrified. He dared not make a noise and tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

Mr. Beauvort looks truly intimidating when he's mad.

Just as Ian started to wish he could disappear, Jean suddenly asked, "Is Neera home?"

Startled, Ian quickly replied, "I think so. Auntie Zuniga dropped the triplets off at school this morning, and Ihaven't heard her car leave. Are you looking for her? Should I ask her to come here?"

"It's fine. I'll go to her," Jean said, some of his anger having subsided.

He quickly rose and headed to Neera's villa.

At this time, Neera was in the yard, feeding the fish in the pond.

There were swarms of fish in vibrant colors that playfully fought for food.

Nearby, three adorable dogs were trying to reach the fish.

Neera chuckled at the scene. She reached out to stop one of the dogs and said in a pleasant voice, "Cece, you can'teat them. They'll upset your stomach!"

When Jean walked in, he happened to see this scene.

Under the sunlight, her radiant smile was breathtaking. Her full lips, delicate features, and sparkling eyes werecaptivating, making it difficult for him to look away.

Jean was stunned. All his fury seemed to vanish at that moment.
