"Didn't you know how to get in front of her through strategic business cooperation and by bidding on somejewelry at an auction? How come you can't think clearly now?"
"Mr. Cox, now is the time to pay Ms. Garcia a personal visit," Irwin said kindly. "Sending her thoughtfulgreetings and expressing concern is far more sincere than sending a gift. She doesn't need any gifts."
Avery was dumbfounded. He thought the advice made sense.
He set the cup down and pondered for a moment. He agreed, saying, "Okay, I'll go and see her."
The truth was that he refused to go because of Jean, not because he lacked the ability to woo women.
I had not planned to meet with that man so soon, but I suppose it is now necessary.
He instructed Irwin to prepare a generous gift before departing for Neera's manor.
The butler opened the door for him when he arrived. He saw an extraordinary man of mixed blood standing therewith an assistant, he was taken aback.
He inquired, "You are...?"
Avery introduced himself with a friendly grin, saying, "I'm Avery Cox, a friend of Ms. Garcia. I came specificallyto see her."
"Please come in," said the butler, nodding. "I'll go up and inform her."
Avery nodded and scanned the room.
Irwin placed the gifts on the coffee table before moving to stand behind Avery. novelbin
Neera was upstairs, reading stories to the triplets.
She was surprised to learn that Avery had come to see her. With haste, she descended to greet the visitors.
"Mr. Cox, what brings you here?"
Avery beamed as soon as he laid eyes on her. He stated, "I heard from Uncle Chad that you were hurt, so I cameto see how you are doing. Are you alright?"
Neera grasped the situation at this point. She took a seat across from him and waved her hand.
"It was a minor accident. I'm fine; it's just a scrape.
She politely expressed her appreciation, saying, "It must be a lot of trouble for you to drop by for such a minorthing."
Avery shook his head. He carried himself in a very refined and gentlemanly fashion.
"Don't act so polite around me. My family and Uncle Chad's family have known each other for years and are asclose as family. You're technically part of the family now that Uncle Chad is seeing your grandma. It's onlynatural for me to be worried about you."
While they were talking, Jean's bodyguard made a frantic phone call to his boss.
His romantic rival had shown up at the manor in an attempt to steal his girlfriend. That man even boldly claimedthey were one family. How was this acceptable?
…
Jean was hosting an international conference at the company office.
On the screen, senior executives from Kingsview were depicted, reporting on important company affairs fromKingsview headquarters.
However, a phone call came in and disrupted the meeting.
Normally, Jean would not answer the phone during the meeting. Everyone was aware of his strict and workaholicdemeanor.
Nonetheless, it was a phone call from home. He decided to interrupt the meeting because he was concerned thatNeera had encountered a problem.
So he picked up the phone. No one knew what was said on the call, but his expression quickly darkened.
He jumped to his feet and stormed out of the room without saying anything.
The employees who were left behind were lost. They just sat quietly, exchanging glances.
Fortunately, Ian stepped in and quickly ended the meeting.
Jean simply didn't give a damn about the meeting.
He had only been gone for a short time, but someone showed up at the manor in an attempt to steal his wife.
"Hurry up!" he yelled impatiently to Ian on the way home.
Ian felt utterly miserable. He was already driving at top speed, and this car wasn't exactly capable of flying.
They arrived at the manor just in time to see Avery getting into his vehicle.
Jean's expression darkened. He opened the car door and exited the vehicle.
Avery was on the other side. He glanced over his shoulder as if sensing something.
Their gazes met in midair.
Nothing seemed to have happened on the surface.
In reality, its effect was comparable to that of a Mars collision with Earth. The two were ready to leap at eachother, and sparks flew in the air.
They were both men of exceptional identity and momentum. The two stood a few feet apart, secretly comparingtheir strength to that of their love rival.
When Ian got out of his car and saw this scene, he thought the two were evenly matched.
