The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 112

However, Alfonso was fully ready to face whatever twists and turns since he already knew that the Beauvort might have seen through him.

He quickly explained, “Mr. Beauvort, this is a huge misunderstanding. I can explain. In fact, we have computed your horoscope and Neera’s horoscope via the tarot reading, but my clumsy assistant filled in the name wrongly when we were making the record. By the time I discovered that mistake, all information had been sent to the Beauvort family. We could not undo the mistake. I thought that since Neera and Roxanne are both my daughters, this shouldn’t be a huge problem.”

He sounded cautious as he made his excuse. He tried to read Jean’s expression, “Mr. Beauvort, I am not lying to you. I have no intention to fool the Beauvort family. This is really just a misunderstanding.”

Jean snorted, “A naming mistake? What an excuse you have there!”

Jean was really imposing. His immense aura seemed to lower the temperature around him. The whole place felt depressed.

Alfonso was sweating profusely. He also found it difficult to breathe properly.

He kept apologizing senselessly, “Mr. Beauvort, we really didn’t do that on purpose. I hope that you can forgive my dumb mistake. If I intended to fool the Beauvort family, would I allow my daughter to marry into the family? This is really just a misunderstanding. I wouldn’t try to play tricks, believe me…”

Of course, Jean would never believe him.

He stared at him coldly, “I don’t care whether you’re telling the truth or not. Anyway, this is all your fault, and since the marriage is already done but you have sent the wrong person, don’t even think about receiving your end of the deal. Take this card. There are fifty million dollars in there. Take it and get out of my sight!”

Jean picked up a card on his desk and tossed it at Alfonso.

Alfonso caught it clumsily but his expression was aghast.

“Mr. Beauvort…. Y–You can’t do this to me! We have agreed to this long ago…”

Jean was so tired of Alfonso, seeing that he wanted to argue again. He shot a look at Ian.

Ian got the signal and he immediately warned Alfonso with a straight face, “Alfonso, you should be thankful that Mr. Beauvort decided not to pursue your deception! He’s beyond generous by offering you that fifty million dollars. If you know very well that you’re in the wrong here, you should just get lost with that bank card. If things escalate to the board of directors, do you think you can still keep your face? Let me give you some advice. You better know how to read the air. You should excuse yourself now while my master is still feeling generous!”

Alfonso never expected that things would go down the drain like this.

He did not want to let go of what he was supposed to gain from all this. He could not control his emotions as he began shouting, “Aren’t you… being too much of a bully! I want to see Mr. Frederic! He promised me that he would offer us one billion dollars…”

Jean’s patience had run out. A hostile look appeared on his face, “It seems that you don’t care about your family anymore, do you? If I so wish, I can obliterate the Garcia family overnight!”

When Alfonso heard that, his face turned even paler. He was palpitating and even the floor felt chilling to the bone. His back was soaked with cold sweat.

He had long known Jean’s reputation that he was a cruel, ruthless overlord.

He did not take those rumors seriously until he was now face to face with him. Jean’s existence itself sent a shiver down Alfonso’s spine…

In the end, he was shunned by the Beauvorts.

He lost 1.3 billion dollars… just like that!

While he was on the way home, he could feel that excruciating pain stabbing at his heart. His expression was hideous.

Susan and Roxanne were still panicking and when they finally saw him, they rushed up to him eagerly, “So how was it? Did you get the dowry and the contracts? Did you sign them all?”

Alfonso did not produce a response. He suddenly picked up a tea cup and smashed it on the floor.

“Jean is really too much of a bully!”
