Wrenn was furious. "Where’s your respect?"
Neera laughed. “When did I disrespect you? Did I say something wrong? You're prejudiced against me and you’re eager to find my fault. You’re questioning me because you want to prove that I’ve cheated on Jean, right?”
Wrenn admitted. "Yes, so what if I am prejudiced against you? If you don’t admit to your wrongdoings, you better explain it! Who is this man and what did you do with him when you went to a hotel with him?"
"Do you want to know? I can call him here and you can ask him yourself."
Neera was calm even though she was angry.
Jean grabbed her hand, he whispered, "You don't have to explain if you don't want to, I believe you."
Neera glanced sideways and met his gaze. His words touched her but she wanted to put an end to this matter.
“I have to explain it to your parents to shut their mouths.”
The words stung and Jean was stunned. Neera slipped away.
Neera came back with 3 people after a few minutes.
“They are my partners from abroad. My mentor sent them to help me with poison research and development.”
Neera looked at Osbert, "I've run into a bit of trouble. I need you to explain my relationship with you, please."
Osbert was confused.
"My name is Osbert, I have the same mentor as Neera. She’s my senior."
Wrenn was stunned at the revelation.
It wasn't over yet. Neera continued, "Two days ago when I sent you to the hotel, what did I do with you in the room? Tell that too, someone wants to know."
Osbert was even more confused, "What did we do? I bought some toys for the triplets and asked you to take them back. Neera, what's going on?"
Wrenn couldn't help but question, "Are you telling the truth? Are you hiding the truth for the sake of her? Did you sleep with her?”
Osbert was shocked. "What are you talking about? I treat Neera as my elder sister. Neera also treated me like a younger brother and always took care of me. How could I have improper thoughts about her?"
Luigi spoke for Neera too. “Osbert and Ms. Garcia are like siblings.”
Wrenn was speechless.
Neera patted Osbert in appreciation.
She turned to Wrenn. “Mrs. Beauvort, I know you don’t like me and you’re prejudiced against me. I don’t mind that and I don’t expect you to change your mind about me. But, please don’t slander me without any evidence. You’re accusing me because of a photo without knowing the truth. You’re making yourself like a joke. Jean will also be humiliated by your actions.”
Wrenn couldn't say a word.
Frederic sighed at the misunderstanding.
He knew that Wrenn was prejudiced against Neera because she cared too much about Jean.
“We are a little abrupt this time,” Frederic admitted.
Neera quickly agreed. “It’s true. If the two of you have any problems in the future, come to me directly. It will save you from a lot of trouble to speculate about things that don't exist. I will admit to what I’ve done. And don’t slander me for what I haven’t done!”
Frederic pulled Wrenn away and they left hastily.
Neera was tired of what happened.
She told the triplets and Osbert to go back first.
Ian stayed outside when he led the guest out.
Only Jean and Neera were left.
Neera took a deep breath and looked at Jean. "Let's talk."
"Okay."
