Chapter 498 Just An Act
Neera thought it was very amusing.
Penny pouted. “Why are you smiling, Mommy? Shouldn’t you be angry?”
“Well, I can’t stop him from being very popr. He is very handsome, after all,” Neera said. “They can
fantasize however they want, but they’re not going to get the opportunity.”
She took the tablet away and pinched the triplets’ cheeks.
“You don’t have to worry about what’s going on with the adults. Eat your breakfast and get ready to go
to school.”
“Yes, Mommy!” they said and did what they were told.
Neera smiled as she watched the triplets march toward the dining hall. She was about to turn off the
tablet screen when a piece of news about Crimea Group caught her eye.
“Disaster! Many Crimea Group Businesses Shut Down by Authorities!”
Neera tapped on the link to read more about it. It didn’t take her too long to guess that Jean was behind
this.
Did he do all that in one night? He didn’t even tell me anything about it.
Just how influential is he?
In any case, Neera had no sympathy for what happened to the Crimea Group. Sonny deserved it for
trying to attack Jean.
Soon, the news was all but forgotten.
After breakfast, Neera sent the triplets to school and went to her office.
Adriana was sipping coffee while browsing some documents in the office. When she saw her niece
appear, she put the cup and documents away and led Neera to the sofa.
“Yes, Aunt Adriana? What is it?” Neera was curious.
Adriana put her phone on the coffee table and lifted her chin. “Tell me, how is it going?”
Neera nced at the phone screen. On it was the news article about Jean and his girlfriend. She said
awkwardly, “Nothing’s going anywhere.”
“Are you sure? The wedding might be fake, but why do your interactions seem so genuine? Don’t tell
me… you two are really into each other?”
Adriana looked like she wanted to get to the bottom of it. Neera tried to exin, “You should know that
journalists like to exaggerate. Why would you think it’s true?”
She tried to shift the conversation topic. “Right, are our products in shopping malls yet?”
Seeing that Neera didn’t want to talk about it, Adriana stopped asking questions. “Don’t worry. Our
products are on the shelves now. Our specialty stores can be found throughout the country!”
“That went so smoothly.” Neera was surprised and happy at the same time.

Adriana seemed very pleased about it. “It’s only so smooth because Crimea Group is preupied with
other troubles. They wouldn’t have let us off so easily.”
Neera nodded in agreement. “I’m sure you had a big part to y too. You managed to negotiate so
many deals in such a short period. I’m amazed!”
“Aww, you didn’t have to tter me,” Adriana said, though Neera could tell she was very pleased about
being praised.
She suddenly remembered something and said, “Right. Earlier this morning, Zachary came to my
house and gave me a proposal.”
Neera frowned when she heard that. “What proposal?”
“He said Fain Enterprises has developed a new facial cream, and they’re willing to supply the product
to Startales. All they ask for is 20 percent as their cost for R&D.”
Neera thought about the suggestion for a moment. She chuckled, “That deal is too good to be true.
Does he think we’re all idiots?”
“Isn’t that so?” Adriana smirked. “He sounded like he was willing to take a loss in the deal. I’m sure he
wants to take advantage of the fact that we’re in all major shopping malls around the country. It won’t
take too long for Fain Enterprises to steal our contacts and im the businesses as their own. It would
have been a good n if it weren’t so stu pidly obvious.”
There was nothing special about the products from Fain Enterprises. Adriana didn’t think too highly of
them.
“I’ve already tactfully declined their offer, but it doesn’t look like they’ll give up so easily. He mighte
and look for you.”
Neera smirked disdainfully. She knew that Zachary was a shameless person, and he would most likely
go and look for her.
She was not going to entertain him.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
