    Chapter 788 Protecting Neera


    Zephyr hesitated briefly and said, “Thora didn’t run away on her own; John’s people took her.”


    This revtion did not surprise Jean. I had suspected it from the moment Neera spoke to me. I knew


    that Neera was trying to protect him from getting involved.


    “Where is John?” Jean asked nonchntly.


    “I went to the manor earlier and found it empty now. Both John and Jeffrey are gone, and the


    headquarters of the Shadow n are also still unknown,” Zephyr replied.


    Jean nodded and said, “Storm will assist in the investigation. Let’s pool our resources and rescue


    Thora. We can’t let her die.”


    “Alright, got it.”


    Storm immediately epted the task.


    Zephyr hesitated briefly upon hearing Jean’s words and remained silent.


    After their brief conversation, Jean turned and left. Zephyr finally felt relieved and was about to


    leave.


    However, Ian suddenly grabbed his shoulder and said, “Zephyr, don’t go just yet.”


    Zephyr was somewhat impatient and asked, “What do


    you want?”


    Ian smiled and said, “We’ve got some important business to discuss; didn’t you hear Mr. Jean? We


    can’t let Thora die. You know how she implicated Mr. Jean and Mrs. Beauvort in the past, right? So,


    how can we let her go unpunished?”


    Zephyr was not initially interested in Ian’s talk but was stunned when he heard Ian’s words.


    “What do you suggest?” Zephyr coldly said.


    Ian grinned and said, “Thora attacked Mr. Jean when he was seriously ill, almost costing him his life.


    And Mrs. Beauvort suffered greatly because of her and had lost a lot of weight. So we must


    teach her a lesson. Zephyr, let’s cooperate and work things out.”


    Sparing his words, Zephyr asked, “What’s your n?”


    Ian chuckled and said, “I knew you’d be on board. Storm,e over here.”


    Soon, they huddled together, whispering and plotting.


    When Jean went upstairs, the triplets had already finished their baths and were ready for bed. Upon


    seeing him, the triplets rushed towards him.

    The triplets surrounded Jean, and he smiled gently.


    “Aren’t you supposed to be going to bed? Why are you still awake?”


    The triplets tugged at Jean’s hand and gestured for him to crouch down. Jean frowned and crouched


    down as they wished. Suddenly, each of them kissed Jean softly.


    With their cute, deliberately subdued voices, they whispered in Jean’s ear, “Goodnight, Daddy!”


    Afterward, they turned back and climbed into bed, covering themselves with their nkets.


    Jean felt heart–warmed and softly replied, “Goodnight.”


    Later, Jean and Neera left the room and spent some time together before heading to their respective


    rooms. Just as he was about to enter the bathroom to freshen up, he received a call from


    Frederic and Wrenn.


    On the other end, Wrenn’s voice sounded somewhat anxious.


    “Jean, when are youing back? And what about Neera and the triplets? Are theying back


    too?”


    Jean replied coldly, “We won’t being back anytime soon.”


    Wrenn was on speakerphone In the Beauvort family Manor, and Frederic immediately grew agitated


    upon hearing Jean’s response.


    “Why aren’t youing back? Is it because Neera doesn’t want to? No matter what, the triplets belong


    to our family…”


    Have


    Jean’s face turned gloomy as he heard this. Then he said, “Of course, she doesn’t want to go back!


    all forgotten how you treated the triplets before? Don’t expect Neera to act as if nothing ever happened!


    She has feelings too!”
