    Chapter 204 You’ve Suffered


    Neera spoke with conviction.


    Frederic was unexpectedly taken aback by her words. There was a surprise in his eyes


    He found a strong sense of pride in her demeanor…


    Such traits were extremely rare in the modern age where fickleness was amon sight. It was


    something he


    hadn’t seen in a while.


    To think he would find these qualities in Neera, who was rumored to have a “bad reputation”.


    Was a girl like her truly someone so reckless?


    He suddenly thought that there might be more to the story behind what had happened in the past


    Wrenn’s expression was still somewhat unsightly.


    She knew she was in the wrong, but she believed that, as the elder, Neera shouldn’t have been so


    confrontational. Neera should have taken the initiative to offer her a way out.


    It was clear, however, she had no intentions of doing so.


    Wrenn was left speechless.


    Fortunately, Frederic stepped in to defuse the situation and redirected the conversation.


    “Alright. We’ll be more careful in the future. This was indeed our mistake. We won’t believe those


    rumors so willy-nilly again. We won’t interfere with your lives again since both you and Jean are doing


    well.”


    With that, he got to his feet and left with the ufortable Wrenn.


    Jean saw them out the door.


    He returned to the living room once they were gone. He pursed his lips and apologized, “I’m sorry for


    putting you in that situation.”


    Neera pouted. “Forget it. It’s fine. I can’t be bothered with them. Besides, it’s not the first time someone


    hase to question me this way. It’s okay.”


    With that said, she was no longer in the mood to stay and turned to leave.


    Jean could tell she was still upset despite her ims that she was fine.


    After all, having baseless nder piled onto her wouldn’t sit well with anyone either.


    lan also noticed and couldn’t help but feel worried.


    “Ms. Garcia seems upset, Sire. Will she stop treating you in a fit of anger? What are we supposed to do


    if that happens?”


    Jean’s gaze sharpened with confidence. “She wouldn’t. She’s not the type of person to go back on her


    word.”


    Seeing his expression,n realized he had overthought the situation and quickly apologized, “I


    misspoke.”


    He then furrowed his brows. He couldn’t help but grumble. “Roxanne Garcia has certainly caused a lot


    of


    It didn’t take a genius to figure out it was that woman who spread these rumors!


    Jean’s eyes darkened:


    The reason Neera suffered verbal humiliation from his mother stemmed from these rumors. The


    instigator behind it, without a doubt, was Roxanne.


    The Garcias were a den of wolves who treated Neera with great cruelty!


    He remained silent, butn, still fuming, continued toin.


    “That woman is quite the schemer. She manipted Ms. Garcia and caused her suffering five years


    ago. Five yearster, she ys you for a fool. Her methods are deplorable. Fortunately, the one that


    married into the family is Ms. Garcia and not her. People like Roxanne aren’t even worthy of being Ms.


    Garcia’s shoe shiner! Moreover, she’s the one with an ambiguous rtionship with Zachary. What a


    pair of sc um…”


    Hearing this, Jean frowned. He shot him a sidelong nce and asked, “What does that mean?”


    He usually showed little interest in other people’s affairs.


    He had never paid Roxanne any attention.


    He waspletely unaware of whatn was talking about.


    lan immediately exined, “I’ve reported the matter to you before. Ms. Garcia’s ex-fiancé and herThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    stepsister teamed up to scheme against her. It resulted in her ruined reputation. Iter looked into it


    and discovered that there was more to the story… Roxanne had long been with Zachary. That incident


    might’ve been their joint scheme!”


    “Furthermore, Ms. Garcia was supposedly at the hotel that day because she had attended Roxanne’s


    birthday banquet the day before… The next day, she woke up to rumors about her spending a


    passionate night with three men at the hotel!”


    lan’s voice dropped to a low whisper, “Truth be told, I always thought there was something fishy about


    the matter! Ms. Garcia had only just returned from the countryside a few months prior at the time. She


    had a very shy and innocent personality. She was always around Zachary. Coupled with her


    engagement, it’s highly unlikely she would’ve done something so shameful!”
