Avery Cox watched all the drama go down from nearby.
He shook the wine glass in his hand, a hint of amusement flashing underneath his eyes.
His trip here today was one that was full of reward.
Neera Garcia had really surprised him!
This woman was not only smart, but also knew how to stand up for herself. Her network of connections was notweak either. She was definitely fit to be Avery’s wife.
As for Jean Beauvort, he definitely surprised Avery too. He didn’t expect that Jean had ties to the royal family.His circle of influence certainly wasn’t a small one.
It seems that this war was going to be very interesting indeed!
…
After this episode, the birthday party went on smoothly for the rest of the night.
Neera went on stage again. Firstly, she explained the commotion that had happened, then she arranged foreveryone to relax to enjoy the party.
Seeing that the guests had gathered together to chat in their separate groups, Adriana finally sighed in relief.
When Neera walked off stage, Adriana held her hand, praising her warmly.
“Luckily you had thought about tonight carefully. Otherwise, we would be deeply embarrassed.”
Then, she went over to thank Jean.
“Fortunately for you too, Jean, for inviting so many heavyweight figures to support Neera tonight. I really don’tknow how to thank you enough…”
“Aunt Adriana, you don’t have to thank me. We’re a family. It’s what I should do.” Jean replied smilingly.
As he spoke, he looked at Neera with a grin, his eyes glowing in a soft warmth.
Chad looked at the two and felt a warmth deep within him.
In actuality, he had a feeling that such a commotion would occur tonight.
The Gordons each had their own motives. How would they give up the position of successor so willingly toNeera?
Honestly, he could have done something to avoid the entire fiasco by himself.
But, he wanted to take the chance to test Neera.
When she really couldn’t bear it any longer, he would only lend a hand to help her deal with these people.
He never thought that she would actually handle the situation much better than he had hoped.
As expected of his chosen successor!
At that moment, he was in an extremely good mood. The smile on his face had deepened significantly.
“You all did very well today. I would be very relieved to leave future matters of the family in your hands.”
Later, he then told them not to neglect the guests, and took Adriana to greet some other guests along with him.
Neera and Jean then went over to greet Prince Gale and Sir William.
Now that there wasn't anyone staring at them with prying eyes, the three friends met and gave each other warmhugs. It seems that they had a very close relationship.
Jean took the chance to thank the two. “I owe the both of you a big one for making it here today.”
Sir William nudged Jean’s shoulder lightly as he laughed. “Why are you being so courteous about it, bro? It’s mypleasure to be able to help you out.”
Prince Gale nodded along in agreement. “Exactly, it’s our pleasure to take the chance to come over and meet yourgirlfriend! Be sure to invite us to the wedding reception soon, alright?”
Jean laughed, his stoic face softened. “Of course, how would I not invite some of my closest friends to mywedding dinner?”
Neera accompanied them for a little while longer, and left them on their own to spend time with each other. Shethen went to look for Chad.
There was still a cloud of confusion in her heart, and she needed answers desperately.novelbin
Chad took the chance to explain it to her. “The Coxes and the Gordons are long-time family friends. There is suchan agreement for an arranged marriage between the two families. But don’t you worry, I never wanted you to bethe one to fulfill it. Just do whatever you want to do, marry the person that you want to marry, and you don’t haveto think about anything else. I will settle it for you.”
Neera sighed in relief seeing how firm he was about it. “Okay then…”
Later, when she was greeting her guests, she spotted Obadiah and Marie in the crowd.
“Mr. and Mrs. Hanson, there’s so many people here. I’m so sorry that I didn’t have the time to take care of you.”
Obadiah waved his hand kindly. “It’s okay. We know that you’re busy with the whole party! It’s not easy handlingeverything one by one.”
He then continued. “Marie and I were so worried for you when we saw you dealing with such a tit-for-tat scenejust now! Luckily it’s resolved now!”
“Yeah, luckily it didn’t turn out to be an even bigger fuss.” Neera nodded with a smile.
Obadiah looked at her dazzlingly with much admiration and pride.
But then, he also felt a pang of slight pity, so he sighed.
“After this, you’re going to have to be in charge of so many businesses in the future. I’m afraid that it might bedifficult for you to devote your energy to research and development, right? It’s such a pity that you’re doingbusiness though, because you are one of the best in the medical field…”
Neera smiled knowing that her mentor cherished her talent.
“Mr. Hanson, I’m just a figurehead for the F.A Group. In actuality, it’s still going to be run by Uncle Chad. I’mnot going to give up on research and development. I’ll still continue to do it.”
She uttered firmly without a single ounce of hesitation.
Obadiah then instantaneously let out a smile in relief, and nodded his head. “Good, good. I did not misjudge youat all.”
Then, Marie asked with a grimace. “Neera, that Mr. Beauvort just now, is the person that you like, right?”
Neera felt a little embarrassed to talk about matters of the heart. She blushed and nodded. “Um, yes, I like him alot…”
