Female Novel
Chapter 763
The caning seemed to have exhausted all of Obadiah’s energy.
He plopped on the sofa all worn out, and waved his hands, his voice sounded a little gravelly.
“Silly little thing, there’s no need to apologize for anything. It’s all my fault that you’ve gotten into so muchtrouble because of her. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know what would happen to her.”
As he spoke, he sighed. “I know that you didn’t punish Thora yourself for my sake. You brought her back for meto deal with her. Otherwise, if she fell into the hands of the Beauvort family, she would have an even worse fatethan today. So, I have to thank you instead.”
He was ashamed to face Neera.
He knew that Neera brought his daughter back to him for the sake of their mentor-student friendship.
Otherwise, based on the harm that Thora had done to Jean, the Beauvorts might have even killed her, or at leastsent her to the police station!
Neera remained silent after he finished speaking.
Up to now, her anger towards Thora had not even diminished in the slightest.
However, she had to always be aware and take care of Obadiah and his wife’s feelings.
This was also why Jean let her bring Neera back to them.
In the moment, she said emotionlessly: “You’re too kind, Mr. Hanson.”
Obadiah sighed once again, his face full of disappointment and exhaustion.
“I really hope this time, Thora will learn her lesson.”
Neera had her reservations about that, though.
Judging by how Thora’s temper was, Neera knew that she was going to hate her even more now that she had totake a caning.
She would probably even take her revenge some time in the future.
However, Neera wasn’t afraid of her at all.
No matter what happens, there will always be a solution on how to deal with Neera. She had plenty of ways topunish her.
“It’s alright, Mr. Hanson. Calm down, we don’t have to talk about this matter anymore. Besides, there’ssomething else I want to talk to you about. It’s about the project.”
She changed the topic and chatted with Obadiah about reagent development for a while.
“I’ll still be here in the meantime. If you need anything, you know where to find me.”
Obadiah thought for a while, and said: “If that’s the case, then the domestic reagents can be transferred here.”
Neera felt that his idea was feasible.
“Regarding the No. 3 Reagent, there should be some progress on Osbert’s end. Then, the preparations for thefollow-up for the No. 4 Reagent can commence.”
Obadiah looked pleased. “Then, I’ll have to trouble you for this matter then. Thank you for all your hard work.Honestly, without you, Neera, I would really be in trouble…”
Neera smiled, and said: “No, thank you for taking me under your wing. It’s my pleasure.”
After that, there were matters to deal with at the office, so she left with Zephyr.
When they arrived at the office, she saw that Zephyr was going to guard by the door again and quickly dissuadedhim.
“You know you can grab a seat somewhere else, you don’t have to keep being on guard at the door. It’s tiring todo that.”
However, Zephyr refused expressionlessly. “It’s alright, Ms. Garcia. My job is to ensure your safety. Stayingclose to you is what I should do.”
Neera: “...”
She felt a little embarrassed, so she held her forehead and said: “No, that’s not what I mean, isn’t it obvious…You look too scary! You might frighten someone.”
Zephyr: “...Is that so?”
Neera nodded sternly. “Yes.”
Zephyr thought about it for a while, and had no choice but to agree.
Seeing that he had walked away, Neera sighed in relief, and focused her attention into her work.
As for Zephyr, even though he had gone downstairs, he had not let down his guard.
He narrowed his eyes and looked out of the office. His pupils were filled with a dangerous aura. novelbin
Not far away, Storm and two other bodyguards immediately retracted themselves and hid behind a tree.
“This Zephyr guy is really sharp!” said one of the bodyguards.
Storm smiled casually and said: “Well, he’s indeed listed on the Hades Ranking, with an SSS-grade! Obviously, askilled master like him would be even more alert than anyone.”
“Storm, didn’t Mr. Beauvort ask you to investigate Chad Gordon? Did you manage to?” Another bodyguardcuriously asked.
“Yes I did.” Storm nodded.
As soon as he said that, they heard a rustling noise. And just like a ghost, it came from behind the three of them.
“Why are you investigating Mr. Gordon?”
