Chapter 40


    Chapter 40


    Zachary felt awkward.


    Did she just ask who I am? Does she not recognize me anymore?


    That’s impossible!


    However, Zachary found her coldness irresistible, and that only made him want to


    conquer her.

    Zachary thought Neera was so cold to him because she was unhappy that he canceled


    the engagement.


    She used to love me a lot! The cancetion must’ve shaken her.


    Zachary calmed down a little after arriving at that conclusion. He picked up his


    confidence again and acted like a gentleman.


    “Neera, I’m sorry for what happened six years ago. You must’ve been so humiliated


    when I publicly canceled our engagement. I know you’re mad at me, but it’s been so many years, and


    now you’re back in Kingsview, you look morous and aplished. I’m sure your life abroad must’ve


    made you a mature woman. Why don’t we forget what happened in the past and start anew? Also,


    we’re about to be part of the same


    family, isn’t it?”

    Zachary thought that Neera would be moved by his speech.

    He then proceeded to speak up for Roxanne, “Also, Roxanne tried to argue on your behalf when she


    faced the journalists outside of the hotel room. She genuinely loves and respects you as her elder


    sister… She med herself for ruining your engagement, and she even thought of breaking up with


    me. She’s been very worried about you over the past six years!” RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    Neera resisted the urge to throw up when she heard that.


    Six years ago, Roxanne’s words were the final nail in the coffin. The journalists believed


    her, which caused Neera’s reputation to be ruined.


    Even though Neera had been abroad in Essley for the past six years, Roxanne and her


    mother continued to find ways to exploit her, such as trying to marry her off to Jean


    Beauvort.


    Neera had already known about their true colors a long time ago.


    The man in front of her was blind to believe what Roxanne said.

    A hint of mockery shed in Neera’s eyes, and her gaze became colder than before.


    “You’re right. We should forget what happened in the past, and you belong in my past.


    The next time we bump into each other, I hope you can pretend you don’t know me, and

    you don’t have to pretend to be nice to me either. It’ll be just a waste of your time!”


    Zachary was surprised. He did not believe that Neera could be so cold to him.


    He thought that Neera was ying hard to get, and he did not want to give up on


    pursuing Neera either.


    Even though he already had Roxanne, he did not mind adding another toy to his


    collection.


    Neera was very beautiful after all!


    Her cold and prideful demeanor made him want to conquer her!


    Just when Zachary was about to divulge his true intentions, Isabe came out of her


    office with Neera’s phone in her hand.


    Neera had left in a hurry and forgot to take her phone.


    Isabe frowned. She did not expect to meet Roxanne and Zachary.


    When Zachary and Roxanne saw Isabe, they ignored Neera and ran up to her. “Good morning, Ms.


    Lopez. I’m Roxanne Garcia from the Garcia family, and this is my fiancé,


    Zachary Fain, the heir to Fain Enterprises.”


    They smiled politely at Isabe, and Zachary said, “It’s like this. We heard that Dr. Nancy will be


    performing an operation at your hospital, so we were wondering if you could refer us to her.”
