Jean felt satisfied as Neera genuinely assured him. However, he continued to act stubbornly.
Jean said with a gloomy face, "There won't be a next time. Don’t make me angry again."
Neera nodded as if completely without temper. Then she Then she said, "Alright! Absolutely no next time!"
Neera felt relieved as she had successfully cheered him up. She reached over to put the watch on Jean’s wrist and could not keep her eyes off her.
"It really suits you! It’s so pretty! I had chosen the right gift!"
Jean could not hold it on anymore and said, "Are you praising me or yourself?"
Neera blinked and smiled brightly. Then she said, "Of course I'm praising you. Whether it's the watch or you, they are both my choices! My taste is impeccable, which means you're even better!"
After saying this, Neera leaned in suddenly and kissed Jean’s cheek. Neera had been doing her best to coax Jean!
Jean almost could not hold back any longer. He closed his laptop while appearing to be pleased. Then he dragged Neera over to sit on his leg. Things were about to get spicy at that moment.
Jean kissed Neera hard as if to punish her. Neera’s cheeks were hot, and she obediently closed her eyes.
The c-level who were in the online meeting were instantly upset when Jean quit the meeting. We had not had enough to watch yet!
Jean finally let go of Neera after a long time. Both of them were a bit out of breath. Jean’s hands resisted Neera’s cheeks, and his thumbs brushed against her forehead. At the same time, he stared intensely at her.
Neera was staring innocently at Jean. She seemed to be acting teasingly. Jean was stunned at the sight of her, and he could feel his heartbeat clearly.
"Don't move," Jean said.
Neera heard Jean’s words and froze in place. Her cheeks flushed intensely as she dared not make a move.
It was only after a long time that Jean finally calmed down and let go of Neera.
Neera quickly composed herself and tried to change the topic. She said, "Well, about the website crashing earlier today, did you do it?"
Jean replied honestly, "No, it was Sammy."
Neera was taken aback and said, "Sammy? Did they come to see you? When did this happen?"
Jean did not hide anything and explained that the triplets had returned early in the afternoon, including the website matter.
Neera chuckled and said, "The triplets are really something."
Even though Neera said that, she felt grateful that they were looking out for her.
"You don't need to worry about the website. You said you didn't have dinner, right? Let's go downstairs and eat." Jean said.
Jean wanted to divert her attention away from these issues.
Neera nodded and casually mentioned, "At this hour, don't bother the chef. I can just make some noodles for myself."
Jean held her hand and said, "Anything you want, it's already prepared."
As they descended to the dining room, Neera realized that Richard had already prepared the meal.
Neera smiled at Jean and said, "You weren't really angry with me earlier, were you?" Otherwise, why would the food be ready?
Jean patted Neera’s forehead and said, "Hurry up and eat."
Neera smiled even more happily.
At that moment, the triplets joined them. They were pleased to see them getting along again.
"Mommy, please don't care about what those people say online. They're just blindly following others without knowing the truth. Just ignore them!"
The triplets were still worried about this matter.
Neera ruffled their hair and said, "Alright, I won't listen to them."
After dinner, Adriana called Neera.
With all the commotion, Adriana naturally found out what had happened.
"I can't believe the Garcia family would go this far! Do they have any shame left? Adriana exclaimed.
Adriana was furious on the phone. At the same time, Adriana felt even more guilty for Neera.
"It's my fault; I couldn't protect you properly. I don't understand how they suddenly found out that you're Nancy. Now, the situation has escalated."
Neera understood Adriana’s concerns and said, "I'm fine, Aunt Adriana. They want to tarnish my reputation with false rumors to force me into submission, but I won't satisfy them. Please don't worry; nothing will happen to me."
Adriana could hear the determination in Neera's voice. She asked, "Do you already have a plan?"
"Yes," Neera said, "I'm going to confront the Garcia family directly this time, and I won't hold back."
Adriana listened without objection. She said, "I initially thought that when you returned to Kingsview, you might be able to improve your relationship with the Garcia family. But I underestimated the situation. Neera, do what you think is best. As long as you don't suffer, it's fine. I'll support you no matter what."
Neera felt heartwarming and said, "Thank you, Aunt Adriana."
Later that night, Neera accompanied the triplets to prepare for bed.
Jean returned to his room and called Ian to discuss handling the false rumors.
"Gather evidence from all the accounts spreading false information and confirm the sources they had found in the afternoon. Have you gone and contacted the people I told you to contact? This would be crucial in the subsequent clarification for Neera. Make sure everything is running smoothly."
Ian replied, "I had already asked Storm and Cloud to get started on this matter. Don’t worry, everything is fine!"
Jean nodded after listening to Ian’s words.
