When Neera saw Jean speak with such great confidence, her mood suddenly improved.
Neera smiled and said, "Sure, I'll trust you. I'll wait for it."
Jean gently rubbed her head and whispered, "Trust me."
Jean stayed after dinner and kept them company until late, only leaving when Neera had completed the cleanup.
Before leaving, Jean pulled Neera close and kissed her passionately. Luckily, Jean stopped before both of them were overwhelmed by lust. Their foreheads were pressed together.
Jean said calmly, "Get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow morning, everything will be fine."
Neera nodded softly and said, "Yes, I know. You should get some rest too." After bidding farewell to Jean, she lay in bed and was lost in thought.
She touched her lips and thought about the kiss earlier. She buried her face in the blanket while her heart pounded loudly. I felt somehow at peace and not worried anymore.
The next morning, she was awakened by Isabella's phone call.
"Neera...!"
Neera answered in a daze, not even opening her eyes. However, Isabella's excited voice immediately snapped her awake.
Neera sat up and asked, "What's wrong? What's happening?"
Isabella was extremely excited and said, "Are you awake? Are you? Have you seen the news online today? I'm ecstatic!"
Neera was still groggy. She replied, "Not yet."
Isabella urgently urged her, "Check it now! Go, hurry up, and see!"
Neera chuckled and said, "Alright, I will." She then opened a web page.
This morning, the official account of the Beauvort Group posted a clarification article.
The article was long, detailing the truth about Neera and the Garcia family's past.
"Recently, there have been relentless rumors about Ms. Garcia, which have severely affected both Ms. Garcia's personal life and company work. On behalf of Ms. Garcia, we would like to clarify and prevent these rumors from further spreading, which could have a wider impact."
"First, the Garcia family's accusation that Ms. Garcia disowned them and disregarded their upbringing is entirely false. In reality, the Garcia family never raised Ms. Garcia for a single day."
"Years ago, Alfonso had a mistress, which led to the tragic death of his first wife. Ms. Garcia was lost at a young age and was only recently reclaimed by the Garcia family. She grew up in the countryside, and upon her return, the Garcia family did not treat her well. They once again rejected her and left her with no support. Fortunately, Adriana cared for her and raised her to become a doctor."
"Secondly, the Garcia family's claim that Ms. Garcia had a promiscuous private life and gave birth to a child out of wedlock is pure fabrication."
"At the time, Ms. Garcia had no social connections at all. It was Roxanne who manipulated her and got her drunk. Roxanne said she was trying to help Ms. Garcia get more friends. Please think by yourself about what happened. We have investigated and discovered that Roxanne had ulterior motives at that time."
"Thirdly, Ms. Garcia inherited ANXIN Group through a legitimate transfer of shares from Adriana. This was not an illegal takeover, and evidence is available in the form of ANXIN Group's share transfer documents. The documents are attached below.
"Fourth, ANXIN Group's initial startup capital was entirely provided by Adriana herself and her friends. Not a single cent of the Garcia family's assets were used. All relevant bank records are listed below with the bank's official seal. Please verify for yourselves."
"Fifth, the claim that Ms. Garcia sent her father to prison is false. In truth, Alfonso and Roxanne coveted ANXIN Group and pressured Ms. Garcia to transfer her shares. Ms. Garcia had no choice but to report them to the police. The police then detained Alfonso and Roxanne. Video evidence is provided below."
The video showed surveillance footage of Roxanne and Alfonso forcing Neera into a private room. There were documents in their hands, too.
That was not all. Soon, the Beauvort Group made another announcement.
"We want to make it clear that we will take legal action against individuals who have engaged in malicious slander against Ms. Garcia on the internet during these days. Those mentioned in the list below should await the legal letters from Beauvort Group!"
Under the announcement, there was a list of thousands of accounts that had participated in online harassment across various platforms during this period.
This article caused an immediate uproar.
Everyone was shocked!
No one expected the Beauvort Group to take such decisive action. They sued so many individuals with a single move!
But what was even more astonishing was the final part of the announcement, which specifically called out the Garcia Group.
"The Garcia Group first spread false statements, tarnished Ms. Garcia's reputation, and then distorted the truth, inciting online harassment against Ms. Garcia and her family. Each of their actions has deeply hurt Ms. Garcia, and she has clarified that she will not tolerate it!"
