The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 139

On the other side, at the hospital, Roxanne tenderly spoke, "Zach is my fiancé, it's only natural for me to take care of him. Uncle Harley, Auntie Qaylah, please calm down. This whole incident is entirely my sister's fault, and you both shouldn't let it affect your health..."

Roxanne's sweet words endeared her even more to the Fain couple, further fueling their dislike for Neera.

That night, Roxanne stayed by Zachary's side, never leaving the hospital room.

Harley immediately dispatched men to the club to investigate the surveillance footage.

However, to their surprise, the next day, the security team reported that they found nothing.

"How is that possible?" Harley slammed the table, his expression grim. "Such a big club should have surveillance. They must be hiding something!"

The security team nervously explained, "Mr. Fain, the club is being uncooperative. They refuse to show us the surveillance footage and won't reveal the identity of the assailant, even when we mentioned the Fain family's name."

Hearing this, Harley's face turned darker. It seemed that Neera's patron had a formidable background, or else the club wouldn't dare to be so uncooperative, even when facing the Fain family.

In deep thought, he coldly said, "This Neera isn't just keeping a toy boy; she has hooked up with a big shot. I wonder how influential that person must be!"

Zachary, boiling with anger, gritted his teeth and cursed, "That despicable woman!"

Roxanne couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, she didn't want Neera to have a good life. Hearing that Neera had found a wealthy backer and was living a luxurious life filled her with disdain and jealousy. On the other hand, she didn't want Zachary to have any further involvement with Neera, no matter the reason...

After weighing the pros and cons, she advised, "Zach, don't get too angry for now. The most important thing is to focus on healing your body. Let's not pursue this matter right away. Once you're better, we can settle the score later."

Zachary glared at her, "What do you know? How can I just let it go?!"

The broken arm was one thing, but what bothered him more was that Neera hadn't given him the antidote, and he still hadn't recovered in that aspect. According to Neera, without the antidote, it might never heal. This directly challenged his manhood and self-esteem. How could he possibly swallow his pride?

However, he couldn't bring himself to speak about these sensitive matters, so he maintained an angry expression, making it clear that he wouldn't give up.

Seeing his reaction, Roxanne concealed her frustration but couldn't help feeling irritated. She didn't understand why Zachary was so deeply fixated on that despicable woman!

For her, it was a significant threat!

...

Unaware of the complexities in the hearts of others, Neera had a bit of alcohol the previous night and went to bed early after taking a shower.

The next day was the weekend, so she didn't have to send the triplets to school. She decided to treat herself to a lazy morning, enjoying a nice lie-in.

When she finally got up, she went downstairs to get some water and noticed that the triplets were nowhere to be found. Puzzled, she asked Zuniga, "Where are the kids? Did they go out to play?"

Zuniga took the empty water glass from Neera's hand and smiled, "The three little rascals said they were very bored and went next door."

Neera felt a little helpless but was concerned that the triplets might be bothering Jean, so she hurried over to check on them.

As she entered the living room, she saw Harvey sitting beside Jean, discussing the stock market situation with a seriousness beyond his years...

The little guy was speaking confidently and with great insight.

"For this stock, it may not seem impressive now, but it has tremendous potential over the next three years and could become a high-quality stock. It's a good idea to invest in it now. As for EK Era, although it may appear to have room for growth, it's just an empty shell with nothing substantial inside. It's not worth buying..."
