The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 609

After they left, Jean turned to Ian.

"You should also keep an eye on it. When it's time to make a move, just make a move. No matter how big it is, I will take care of it."

Decisive and domineering was always his style.

Ian nodded, "Understood."

Afterwards, he retreated tactfully, leaving the two of them.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Jean looked at Neera, his eyes darkened slightly, and he wanted to say something.

However, Neera's cell phone rang first.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Neera frowned, a bit reluctant to answer.

Whenever she saw an unfamiliar number, she felt that something must be wrong.

The phone was still ringing, Jean took her hand and asked, "Why didn't you answer it?"

Neera pursed the corners of her lips and muttered in a low voice, "I don't want to answer."

When she finished speaking, the ringing stopped.

However, in the next second, it rang again, and it was still the same number.

Neera took a deep breath and picked it up patiently.

On the other end of the phone was Zachary.

"Why is it you?"

Her face immediately turned cold, and her tone was very unhappy.

Zachary pressed his tongue against his palate, feeling upset, but he could only restrain his temper and said, "Neera, even if we had grievances before, it's been so long, you don't have to always treat me like this, do you?"

Neera smiled coldly, "Then what attitude should I have towards you? I can't still greet you with a smile, can I?"

Zachary choked, "Neera..."

"Don't call me that again, I'm not that close to you. Is there any other matter? If not, I shall hang up."

"Don't hang up! There is something else!"

Seeing Neera's aggressive attitude, Zachary had no choice but to skip the part of making small talk and explain his intentions quickly.

"I want to make a deal with you."

A hint of doubt flashed across Neera's eyes.

As soon as she was about to speak, she felt someone hug her waist, and then the phone was taken over, and the hands-free was turned on.

She looked at the man beside her in surprise...

He narrowed his eyes in displeasure, and a dangerous coldness appeared in his eyes.

This was a sign of his displeasure.

Neera blinked, and subconsciously raised her hand to stroke his hair, subtly comforting him.

Only then, she asked on the phone, "What kind of deal?"

Zachary immediately said, "I learned some things today that are related to the Garcia family, which may have a serious impact on your reputation, so I contacted you. Neera, please consider that I am generously informing you about this and give me the antidote. I shall tell you the next step of the Garcia family's plan, so that we can settle the matter, and I promise I won't pester you again, okay?"

After hearing this, Neera was full of suspicion.

What happened today? Why did everyone come to inform her about it one after another?

Wasn't this person Roxanne's fiancé?

Instead of helping Roxanne to tackle herself, he came to negotiate a deal.

What did this mean?

However, although she was puzzled, she was too lazy to guess.

These people were snakes, even if they fight among themselves, and dogs eat dogs, she did not want to care.

She bluntly said, "No, thank you, and you don't have that qualification either."

Zachary thought she didn't understand, "What I said is true, this matter is really important, if you don't handle it properly, your reputation will be ruined! Don't you care about your own reputation?"

Neera snorted coldly, "I will maintain my reputation myself. You don't need to be here and meddle in my business!"

After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone directly, "These people are really annoying!"

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Jean tightly wrapped his arms around her again, pressed her into his arms, and stroked her hair.

"Don't worry about them. As you said, it's not worth it. No matter what happens, I will always be here for you. I won't let anyone discredit you."

Neera pressed her face against his chest, and a burst of grievance suddenly surged up.

"All of them have bad thoughts. They always think about how to harm others, and endlessly find fault with me..."

She couldn't hold back, and complained a few words in a muffled voice.

Ever since she returned to the country, she had to deal with all matters at work, and also had to deal with these scumbags.

No matter how much energy she had, no one could stand such a pressure.

What was more, even if she tried not to take this to her heart, it was still annoying to her.

Jean gently stroked her hair, coaxing her very patiently and gently.

"Well, it has been a lot for you, don't worry, I am here. Those who bullied you, I will make them all pay the price, they will not be able to stay out of it!"
