Chapter 742 Source Of Her Misery
Ian had been following Jean out of the office like a faithful shadow.
He lifted his gaze several times, watching Jean’s expression. He couldn’t stop himself after a while of
hesitating.
Ian wondered, “Sir, are the triplets your biological children?”
Jean gave him a sidelong nce but remained silent.
Unsure about Jean’s current thoughts, Ian swallowed and asked again, “If you have doubts, why don’t
you get a retest?”
“Not necessarily. They are my kids.”
Jean responded firmly, devoid of any hesitation or doubt.
He realized what was going on, but he was perplexed. He stumbled over his words, “But you…you
have never been with a woman… You know…”

After he posted this question, Ian was awkward.
With that question, Jean remained silent.
He briefly closed his eyes.
Memories that had been long buried began to surface.
Many details about that night, which urred six years ago, were hazy.
He only remembered that he had fallen sick that evening. There were some aftereffects from the
medication he took, though they were rtively minor, leading to certain events.
Jean had difficulty recalling it clearly at the time. When everything became clear, memories began to
resurface.
That night, he may have made a mistake.
His eyshes fluttered. As soon as he opened his eyes again, he issued amand in a low voice,
“Look into the circumstances surrounding that scandal and the incident from back then,”
Ian nodded solemnly.
He immediately went to investigate the matter after dropping Jean off at the vi.
Later, he returned with a slew of information.
“Mrs. Beauvort’s innocence was lost at Roxanne’s party. My guess is that she was set up. The media
sensationalized the situation. Roxanne most likely had a hand in it. Zachary must have also been
involved.”
“Zachary?”
“Yes, my investigation shows that Zachary was secretly involved with Roxanne. They both showed up
at the time and ced the me on Mrs. Beauvort for the incident.”
“Humph!” Jean let out a cold snort.
He narrowed his eyes. His body exuded a menacing aura. “What about the news?” he wondered.
“Which media outlets covered this?”
Ian paused briefly before pulling up some news articles.
“All the involved media outlets are here. Some were bought by Roxanne, while others may have
simply wanted to ride the wave.”
Jean scanned them coldly, his expression growing more repulsive by the second.
The scandal was widely covered in the media at the time. The nderous words cut deep into Jean’s
soul despite the absence of visual evidence.
Low life, debauchery, shamelessness… each word pricked his nerves.
As he struggled to breathe, it never urred to him that he was the source of Neera’s prolonged
pain.
He could picture the struggles Neera had faced.
She suffered abuse at the hands of her stepmother and stepsister, and her biological father would have
disowned her. When she became pregnant, she went back to the country in the hopes of finding
shelter, but her foster parents rejected her.
If Neera wasn’t taken away by Aunt Adriana out ofpassion. It was unknown whether she would
survive to this day.
Even though he hadn’t experienced the pain himself, it cut through him just as deeply as if it had. The
pain was amplified a thousand times for him.
He couldn’t help but remember the little ones‘ expressions when they saw him. It was filled with
happiness. Evidently, they’d been pining for a reunion with him for some time.
The children must have been overjoyed when they used the excuse of a school event to call him
‘Daddy‘ back then.
He wishes he could fly to them right now, see Neera, and hug the kids, but he knows he can’t.
To begin, as Isabe suggested, he should give Neera some time to adjust. He must not undermine
the children’s efforts.
Second, those who bullied Neera had
gone unpunished.
Someone must have tipped off the reporters back then, as there were arge number of them
waiting outside the hotel room. In fact, the culprit’s identity was immediately apparent.
Zachary and Roxanne, you two are quite something.
The man’s eyes went cold, and a murderous look crossed his eyes.
This is great! If those two had the nerve to pull this stunt, then they have only themselves to me for
ruthlessness. I would not let a single person who bullied
my
my wife free.
go
Once everything is in order, I’ll fly abroad to see them and bring them home.
He collected himself and said, “Check out what’s going on with Fains right now.”
When Ian heard this, he knew he wasn’t going to let Fains off the hook easily.
Conveniently, he had been keeping tabs on Garcias. So, he also knew what was going on with Fains.
He reported it without further investigation.
“Fains have had a rough timetely. They had previously severed ties with Garcias for their own
protection, but they were still subject to some consequences. Several of their projects were significantly
downsized, resulting in massive losses. Their stock prices have also dropped
“Recently, they’ve been attempting to expand their business to get out of this situation. They’ve pulled
some strings to connect with a wealthy family in Kingsview, the Burkes.
“The Burkes‘ wealth and status far outweigh Fains. In the beginning, they disapproved of Fains.
Zachary, however, being the yboy that he is, has managed to woo the Burkes‘ heiress to the point
where she demands to marry him.
“So it looks like there will be a wedding between the two families.
“Given that the Burke heiress is an only child and her family are of higher social standing than the
Garcias, they have made a demand. If the two are to marry, then the Burkes must be given a son from
the union. Given Fains‘ current state of weakness and urgent need for assistance, they have agreed.”
