The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1293

Neera was taken aback by the truth, as she hadn’t expected such a past event.

However, she still couldn’t comprehend. “Even so, what does it have to do with me?”

lan paused, glanced at Jean, and seemed to have something to say but held back.

Jean remained calm. “Please continue.”

Following the command, lan continued, “If I’m not mistaken, Phoebe has developed inappropriate feelings for the head of the Cox family… That’s why she has been so hostile towards you.”

Neera was filled with questions. “What? Does she like Avery?”

lan scratched his head. “I believe so. Although there are no rumors circulating, my investigation reveals that Phoebe has been lingering in the Cox residence since she came of age. She always finds ways to be around Mr. Cox, despite his indifference towards her. She is persistent. Furthermore, I discovered that any women who tried to get close to Mr. Cox ended up in a terrible state and never appeared in front of him again. Phoebe is responsible for all of this. Nicholas is just a pawn in her hands, assisting her in carrying out cruel acts,”

Neera was both angry and bewildered.

“So, it turns out that Phoebe wanted to harm me out of jealousy!”

“But I never liked Avery, nor did I have any intention of getting involved with him.”

“Besides, even without her interference, they could never be together due to their cousin relationship.”

“Why should she take her anger out on me?”

The more Neera thought about it, the angrier she became, and her face darkened significantly.

Jean’s expression mirrored her gloominess. He turned to look at her and gently squeezed her hand.

“Don’t waste your anger on unworthy people. It’s not worth it. What do you want to do? I’ll take care of it for you.”

Neera pursed her lips, unsure of what to do.

If she could, she would rush to the Cox family right away, drag Phoebe out, and make her pay for her actions.

But she couldn’t do that at the moment.

No matter how despicable Phoebe may be, she was still a member of the Cox family.

The Cox family had helped her several times before, and she owed them a debt of gratitude. If she were to confront Phoebe directly, she wouldn’t be able to justify it to the Cox family, nor could she explain it to Avery.

She didn’t want the Cox family to think that she was ungrateful.

With this in mind, she took a deep breath and decided to hold back for now.

“Fortunately, everyone is safe today. Let’s put this ter

Jean’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Why? Is it because of Avery?”

hold and leave Phoebe alone for the time being.”

Neera nodded slightly. “Yes, Mr. Cox has helped me several times before. If I were to confront his cousin without informing him, it would be quite disrespectful.”

“So what?” Jean remained indifferent. “It was Phoebe who first developed inappropriate feelings and acted wrongly. She should be prepared to face the consequences. Even if Avery comes back, he can’t say anything. Besides, he and Phoebe don’t have a good relationship.”

“I understand that, but it still doesn’t feel right. Whether Avery cares about Phoebe’s well-being or not, that’s his business. But I can’t punish her without informing him first. I need to talk to him and then make a decision. It’s not for any other reason but to ease my own conscience. I owe him too much. If I harm the Cox family now, wouldn’t I be acting ungratefully?”

Jean remained unfazed and let out a cold huff. His pitch-black eyes were filled with frost.

“That woman must have calculated that there aren’t many skilled people around you right now. That’s why she dares to act so recklessly. If she succeeds, everything will be set in stone by the time Avery returns. No matter what we do then, it will be too late.”

Neera understood, but she couldn’t be ruthless like others.

“I know you don’t want to tolerate this, but for my sake, please leave her alone for now. Once Mr. Cox returns, I’ll discuss it with him.”

Jean looked at her pleading expression, his brows slightly furrowed, but ultimately, he agreed.

“Alright, I will spare her life and wait for Avery to come back.”

Neera finally felt relieved.

At that moment, the triplets appeared from around the corner of the staircase.

One by one, they were dressed in cow-print pajamas, their wide eyes peering down the stairs.

“Mommy, Daddy, what’s happening?”

Sammy and Harvey showed no signs of fear. Their faces were filled with curiosity as they looked at the messy living room, their mouths agape in surprise.

“What a mess. Did someone break in?”

Upon seeing the triplets, Neera decided to put aside her thoughts and called them over.

“Come here quickly. Be careful and watch your step.”

Instead of burdening the triplets with too much information and worrying them, Neera brushed it off with these words.

“Yes, someone broke in earlier, but everything is under control now. They have been caught. Don’t worry.”

Penny was still half-asleep. Upon hearing about the break-in, she couldn’t help but feel a little scared. She sought comfort in Jean’s embrace.

“Daddy, hold me. I’m a little scared…”

The little girl, with her soft body, climbed up and called out in her babyish voice, melting Jean’s heart. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

He held her securely, gently kissed her forehead, and reassured her, “Don’t be afraid. Daddy is here.”

“Mmm…” The little girl responded softly, nestling comfortably in his arms, and within a few seconds, she fell asleep.

Neera glanced at them and couldn’t help but smile.

“Nothing can interrupt her sleep when she’s tired. It doesn’t matter how significant the event is. She just expressed her fear, but she’s already fast asleep.”

With a faint smile, Jean supported the young girl’s back, stood up, and carried her back upstairs.

Neera kindly guided Harvey and Sammy back to their beds, persuading them to lie down before she eventually went back to her own room.

“The chaos downstairs…” Neera couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on at the mere thought of it.

Jean lovingly tucked her in. “I’ll handle everything. Don’t fret.”
