Chapter 758
Jean already knew.
However, he still pretended to be surprised. “Really? I didn’t think that she would run away to another country.What are your plans then?”
Neera rubbed her head on her pillow, and said with an annoyed tone. “She’s locked up here in the house. Witheverything going on, it’s going to be troublesome to send her back.”
Jean understood what she meant. “I get it, you can deal with her over there. I’ll let Uncle Peter know.”
“Hmm…”
Neera seemed a little unhappy about it.
She tossed and turned on the bed. She just couldn’t get comfortable.
On the other end of the call, Jean could hear sounds of ruffling, but not her voice. He could sense her emotions.
“What’s wrong, babe?” He asked gently.
After a few seconds, Neera replied faintly.
“Yeah. When I think of the things she did to you, I want to cut her into pieces! I want to make her pay!”
She could not forget the sight of Jean fighting for his life in a hospital bed. The look on his face as he had toendure the immense pain to the point that he would be unconscious…
It was like knives to her heart! There’s no way she could let Thora get away with it!
Jean listened to her as she said with fluctuating emotions, and he could feel his heart swelling, as if it was aboutto overflow.
He opened his thin lips lightly and comforted her softly. “That is indeed the case. But she is still your mentor’sdaughter after all.”
Neera understood immediately.
Did Jean let her handle it herself because he was worried about her?
She remained silent. She didn’t know what to say next.
Jean didn’t want the whole Thora thing to affect Neera’s mood and take up the precious time that they had witheach other.
So he changed the topic. novelbin
“How has work been like the past few days? How’s your aunt doing in the hospital?”
Neera shifted her attention gradually, and replied.
After she had finished, Jean coaxed her to go to sleep.
“It’s very late now, you’re not going to have any energy tomorrow if you don’t rest up.”
Neera felt much better after ranting to him. She fell asleep soon after.
After Jean hung up, Ian came in to report to him before he could even stop smiling.
“Sir, your luggage has been packed. I’ve booked a flight for midnight tonight. Osbert will be traveling with us.”
Jean nodded silently.
…
Meanwhile, there were some guests at the Beauvort Manor.
It was Kyra and Dandy.
Kyra came specifically to apologize.
Since the last time she talked on the phone with Wrenn, Wrenn had never contacted her again.
She didn’t know if she had angered Wrenn, or if she was still suspicious of her.
No matter what it was, it wasn’t beneficial to Kyra.
After much thought, she could only take the initiative to fix things.
“Aunt Wrenn, Uncle Frederic, I really didn’t know that Uncle Clarence would bring Thora to visit Aunt Adriana.I would have stopped him if I had known.”
When they met, she immediately expressed her guilt and grievances.
“I really regret my actions. If I knew that things would turn out this way, I never should’ve introduced Thora toUncle Clarence for medical treatment. It’s all my fault. I caused all of this mess to happen. Thankfully Jean isalright, otherwise… I would really… go crazy…”
The more she said, the more she felt awful. Tears started to swell in her eyes.
Dandy took the chance to speak on behalf of her daughter.
“Sigh, Kyra hasn’t even stepped out of her room the past few days. She kept saying that it was her responsibilityand the fault is all hers. She really regrets it, and she really didn’t mean it. So Wrenn, please don’t be mad at her,alright? She’s just a dumb little kid. She just naively believes what anyone says. She thought that she could helpyou. But no one would have thought that it would end up like this. She was just trying to help with no badintentions. She was deceived…”
The mother and daughter spoke sincerely.
Actually, Wrenn wasn’t suspicious of Kyra at all. It was just that she was too busy worrying about Jean and hadno time to deal with her.
Now that she’s seen how serious they were about it, she wasn’t too bothered by it anymore.
“It’s alright. Don’t cry anymore, Kyra. Since you didn’t do it on purpose, then there’s no point in holding youaccountable. You don’t have to blame everything on yourself.”
Kyra sighed in relief after knowing that Wrenn wasn’t suspicious of her after all/
But before her sigh could be completely released, she held it back.
Frederic, who was silent all this while, suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
“How did you get affiliated with Thora in the first place?”
