    Chapter 359 He Only Shows His Tenderness to Neera


    Observing her discontentment with Neera, Jean furrowed his brow and defended, “Neera’spany


    faced an emergency, and one of her subordinates got injured and hospitalized. She couldn’t find an


    alternative, so she had to go herself. She gave me a dry needling treatmentst night and took care of


    me all night. She hardly slept. Mom, she’s always working so hard, so let’s not nitpick at her every


    move.”


    Wrenn, feeling somewhat left in the dark about the situation, hesitated as Jean defended Neera,


    casting a slightly somber shadow over her countenance. However, she chose to remain silent.


    Frederic was reasonable and diffused the tension, “That’s an impressive amount of dedication. I’ve


    noticed a decline in your seizurestely, and you don’t experience the previous prolonged states of


    unconsciousness. Yourplexion has improved as well. It appears that Neera’s approach to


    improving your health is working very well.”


    Jean’s furrowed brow eased at this affirmation andmendation of Neera. He offered a subtle nod, a


    fleeting fondness crossing his eyes, “Indeed, that’s just the


    Way she is. When ites to her responsibilities, she sees them through to the end without any ck.”


    Witnessing his readiness to stand up for Neera, Joanna concealed her emotions behind aposed


    facade, though jealousy churned within her heart. She could not help but notice the softness that crept


    into Jean’s gaze whenever Neera was mentioned.


    These small details, perhaps unnoticed by Jean himself, were starkly apparent to an observer like


    Joanna..


    Such disys of affection were unprecedented, reserved solely for Neera.


    Why?


    How did Neera manage to capture his favor?


    Jealousy gnawed at her, nearly driving her to dig her nails into her palms. However, she could only


    pretend not to care and maintained a decent expression.


    In the evening, Neera finished processing thest document and kept what Jean said earlier in mind.


    As she packed up her belongings and was ready to head home, an internal call from the front desk


    interrupted her.


    “Ms. Garcia, representatives from the Crimea Group have arrived and want to see you.”


    Neera frowned lightly, her expression darkening. She had already made her stance clear that very night


    when she emphatically declined their proposal. She even argued with Sonny. How shameless were


    they?


    Why on earth are they so audacious to show up here again?


    Neera was tempted to refuse them. However, this was herpany, what if the Crimea Group caused


    amotion and potentially harmed her employees? She had no choice but to reply coldly, “Escort


    them to the reception room. I’ll be there shortly.”


    Before long, Neera arrived at the reception room.


    To her surprise, Sonny was not there, instead, his assistant was present.


    Neera spared no warmth in her expression, ski pping pleasantries and getting straight to the point, “I


    made myself clear. Startales’ core cosmeceutical product is not for sale. Can’t the Crimea Group


    understand this?”


    TL


    The assistant’s demeanor soured at Neera’s words, and he assumed a condescending posture as he


    replied, “Ms. Garcia, while Startales is well-known in the domestic market, its status is far inferior to the


    Crimea Group. Your assertive approach may not be the best course of action. Or are you relying on


    ANXIN Group’s support? But even if that’s the case, it hardly measures up to the Crimea Group’s


    influence. Perhaps it’s wiser, Ms. Garcia, to consider diversifying your options.”


    He continued, “Plus, Mr. Sonny is willing to extend substantial rewards to you. It’s a good opportunity,


    and I urge you to reconsider. Don’t put yourpany into a bad situation because of loyalty”


    Neera was disgusted by his words, and she retorted, “Friends? Does the Crimea family understand the


    concept of friendship? True friends respect one another. As for your group, the word bandit seems a


    more fitting term. Besides, my stance couldn’t be clearer. It’s not for sale! Do you understand that?”


    Upon hearing this, the assistant’s eyes narrowed, and smiled coldly. “Ms. Garcia, you’re stubborn. It


    appears you haven’t experienced enough rejection in the business world. If that’s the case, then be


    prepared to face the consequences, because your stubbornness may lead you down a thorny path…”Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
