Chapter 203
Chapter 203 Mr Beauvort’s Protection
Jean found the scenario oddly familiar as he listened in on the exnation.
Neera also froze in contemtion. She couldn’t help but turn her head to shoot him a nce.
There were distinct angles to his face. He had a fair and clearplexion, deep-set eyes, well-defined
features, and a handsome yet devilish charm. There was something morbid about him because of his
frailty.
She took a closer look and found that… he did indeed resemble a pretty boy!
Her confusion was finally lifted whenbined with the rumors that Wrenn had heard. She couldn’t
help but burst intoughter.
Wrenn grew even angrier and red at her. “You’re stillughing?!”

Jean finally concluded. He couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of his nose. “You’ve misunderstood
Neera, Mom. It was I who apanied her during those asions. As for the rumors about her being
financially supported by a sugar daddy… That’splete nonsense. She’s a doctor who’s capable and
skilled. She doesn’t need to be supported by anyone!”
Both Frederic and Wrenn were dumbfounded by the exnation.
“Do you mean that?” Wrenn’s tone was no longer as pointed as when she had first arrived. She
sounded more subdued yet doubtful.
Jean nodded. “Of course, I do. If you don’t believe me, you can go ahead and askn. If that’s not
enough, you can review the surveince footage. Both the club and Susie’s Cakes are businesses
under my name. The rumors arepletely made up. There’s no so-called ‘pretty boy”.
Upon hearing that Susie’s Cakes was under his ownership, Neera’s eyebrows twitched.
So, this guy was the owner… She had gone to his shop to buy pastries for him. She suddenly found
the situation humorous.
Wrenn, meanwhile, felt embarrassed.
She had rushed over without rifying the situation and indiscriminately yelled at Neera in such a
severe manner. Her words were harsh too.
She had refused to believe Neera when she tried to exin. In the end, it came to light that she had
believed baseless rumors and misunderstood her daughter-inw!
Wrenn wasn’t an unreasonable person. She knew that she had made a mistake but she was a prideful
woman. Apologizing to a younger girl was something she couldn’t bring herself to do.
She looked to be in difort for a time. Her gaze was darting around with no ce to rest her eyes.
In the end, it was Frederic who stepped in to smooth things over with his wife. “These rumors about
you are indeed hurtful, Neera. Wrenn was just worried for Jean. That’s why she got so fired up. When
people are upset, they tend to speak without thinking. It’s not that she meant to insult you. Please don’t
take it to heart…”
Neera nced at Wrenn with an ambiguous expression.
She wasn’t an idiot. She could see how much Wrenn disliked her and held some bias against her.
Expecting such a high and mightydy to lower her head and apologize was simply an impossible feat.
Neera, however, was no pushover. She didn’t hesitate to speak her mind.
“You know what they say. Ignorance is bliss. I’m not one to get petty about these things. I can also
understand your concern for your son. But, if you hear about rumors like these again, I hope you can
confirm their veracity first-whether through investigation or by asking me directly-either way, works.
Don’te over and start berating me and tossing usations around. I don’t like being insulted!”
She deliberately emphasized herst sentence as she stared at Wrenn.
Neera’s tone was far from aggressive but there was an undeniable gravitas to her words that made her
hard to
ignore.
She continued Also, I don’t acknowledge a single one of those rumors regardless of what happened
years ago. Even stories of my ck of virtue’ and promiscuity. I have never been in a romantic
rtionship, yet my name. keeps being dragged through the mud. I was even tricked into marriage. I
refused to ept being used of something I didn’t do!”
