Chapter 744
He patiently coaxed her, "You've worked very hard. If you're exhausted, take a break. Don't overdo it, all right?"
Neera compiled by saying, "Mhm, I know."
Truth be told, she just wanted to hear his voice. Now that she had, she could finally unwind and feel muchhappier.
After that, she inquired, "How are you? Are you feeling better now?"
Jean chuckled and answered, "I'm almost fully recovered now; don't worry."
Neera was still worried about him and urged, "Even if you are recovered, remember to take your medicine ontime. Osbert can help with the treatment. He may lack advanced technique, but he can suppress it effectively.Once I'm done with my tasks and finish up here, I'll continue treating you."
It would still be a while before Aunt Adriana fully recovered.
Despite this, Jean found great comfort in her words, and his heart began to warm.
"Where are the kids?"
Suppressing the overwhelming emotions, he feigned calmness and asked, "Are they there?"
"No, I'm still at the office. I didn't bring them with me. The kids should have gone to bed by now."
"I see," Jean gently exhaled and urged. "When you are free, I would like to have a video call with them."
Neera grinned and wondered, "Miss them already?"
"Yes, I do," Jean admitted in a low voice.
Neera didn't think too much; she cheerfully promised, "No problem."
After chatting for a while, they ended the call.
Jean, who was present in Kingsview, looked out at the sun that shone brightly outside the window. His heart wasfilled with tenderness.
Various reasons had held him back; otherwise, he would've wished to fly to them immediately.
He wanted to hug her after not seeing her for days. Even though they didn't do anything, being by her side wasenough.
However, many matters at home required his attention. Helplessly, he was compelled to suppress his longing.
Ian came knocking on the door not long after.
After he was given permission to enter, he stepped into the office.
He cut to the chase and reported sternly, "Sir, I have news on Mr. Clarence!"
Jean hid his emotions, which were visible in his eyes. He turned to face Ian and said, "Go on."
"While Clarence is fixing the eight billion deficit, he is also secretly transferring assets. I've been watching him
for two days and discovered he's getting ready to relocate abroad. It appears that he intends to transfer assetsoverseas and then vanish."
When he heard this, Jean twitched his brows, and his expression became colder.
"Trying to skip town?" He sneered, "Have you found out? Was he involved in the assassination attempt the otherday?"
Ian replied, "Aside from transferring assets and preparing travel documents, he hasn't made any other moves inthe last few days. However, Storm and Cloud traveled abroad and destroyed that mercenary group's mainstronghold.
Given the unfavorable circumstances, the leader readily provided us with information to save himself.
"It has been confirmed that someone close to Clarence paid to have you killed. Clarence is extremely cautious.We didn't realize that the one who hired the mercenaries wasn't one of his trusted minions until now.
Jean snorted disdainfully as he sat down.
"Trying to kill me with a bunch of low-tier mercenaries?"
Ian couldn't help but complain, "I don't know what he was thinking. If he's arrogant, at least he knows how toengage mercenaries. But if you consider him intelligent, he merely recruits Level C. He should've dispatched atop-notch mercenary from the Mercenaries Guild or a Level 3S assassin from the Hades Ranking. Instead, hemerely dispatched a Level C. Is he looking down on us?"
Jean's eyes lacked warmth and were cold as ice. novelbin
"I considered not being too harsh and giving him a way out. As long as he filled the eighty billions dollar gap, Ididn't intend to pursue it any further. I'm surprised that my uncle is quite ruthless. If he wants to rot in prison, Iwill grant his wish."
He then gave Ian a cold look.
"Got it," Ian said immediately. "I'll take care of it!"
He could tell Jean had been provoked.
