Chapter 984


    Chapter 984 Brought It Upon Herself


    When Neera returned to Imperial Gardens and entered the house, she immediately heard the triplets’


    dulcetughter echoing in the house.


    While changing shoes, she wondered why were the triplets so happy.


    As she walked into the living room, she immediately spotted Isabe sitting cross-legged on the carpet,


    ying games with the triplets.


    There was a pile of newly unboxed toys next to her, clearly brought by her.


    “Bell? When did you get here? Why didn’t you tell me earlier so I could havee home sooner!”


    Neera was pleasantly surprised. She dropped her bag and walked over with a smile.


    “Huh? You’re back! Come here and let me give you a hug. I’ve missed you terribly!” Upon seeing her,


    Isabe was also very excited.


    She quickly got up, spread her arms wide, and gave her a big bear hug. “You rascal. You lost.contact


    after going abroad. You could at least send a message or make a call. I thought you had forgotten


    about me and had no ns to return!”


    Neera chuckled lightly, patting her on the back. “How could I forget you? Even when I was abroad, I


    was just too busy, swamped with all sorts of things, and didn’t get around to contacting you. I was


    thinking of inviting you over for a meal when I got back. I didn’t expect you toe over first.”


    Isabe was somewhat satisfied. Only then did she let go of her. She took her hand and twirled her


    around twice, scrutinizing her from head to toe, back and forth.


    Neera was dizzy from the spinning. “All right. That’s enough. Others might think you’re doing a waltz.”


    Isabe hummed twice, paused; and lightly tapped her forehead. “You heartless one. I’m just worried


    about you. Look at you. It’s only been a little over a month since you left. How did you manage to lose


    so much weight?”


    Neera pulled Isabe to sit down and chatted with her about life over there.


    “Isn’t that the truth? First, my aunt Adriana fell ill, and then I had to manage thepany. After that, all


    sorts of messy things happened. With all of that going on, I hadn’t really had a chance to rest properly.

    When Isabe arrived, she had already listened to the triplets vividly recounting the story, giving her a


    basic understanding of Neera’s affairs.


    “Hey, what’s going on with you? Are you having some kind of bad luck streak? What exactly has been


    happening during your time abroad that you keep running into so many problems?”


    Isabe only knew the oue, not the process. Neera sat with her on the couch and borated.


    Upon hearing that it was Kyra who orchestrated the whole thing, Isabe was infuriated. She leaped


    from the couch, picked up a pillow, and squeezed it hard.


    “This Two-Faced Kyra is so shameless, calling herself the youngdy of the Marks family! What a joke!


    Even a roadside beggar has more conscience than her! I bet her heart is as ck as night. She’s


    utterly shameless!” she cursed loudly and angrily, but due to her upbringing and manners, she couldn’t


    utter anything too offensive.


    All she could do was repeat the same things over and over again.


    Neera was amused by her enraged demeanor. At the same time, the sight caused warmth to fill her


    chest. She gently pulled Isabe to sit down.


    “All right. It’s all in the past now. Kyra, on the other hand, isn’t that lucky. Her life is a mess now.’


    “I know about this. The inte was in an uproar a couple of days ago. Everyone was wondering who


    Kyra had offended. I was pondering about it, too. I never rted it to this matter. She brought it upon


    herself. She deserves it!” Livid, Isabe grumbled a few more words before finally stopping.


    Then, as if recalling something, she looked at Neera with guilt. “By the way, how are things between


    you and Jean now?”


    Before, Jean had rushed to her ce, demanding to know the identities of the triplets. After that, he left


    the country, leaving her in a state of constant anxiety, worried that he might not be able to hold back


    and spill the truth. In that case, wouldn’t Neera know I’ve sold her out?


    Neera didn’t overthink. At the mention of Jean, a touch of tenderness filled her eyes. She smiled and


    said, “We’re all right. He proposed to me, and I epted.”


    “Really? That’s fantastic!” Isabe was genuinely happy for her.


    Judging by her tone, it seemed that the events from a few years ago had not yet been revealed. In her


    happiness, she subconsciously nced toward the triplets.

    As if they were able to read each other’s mind, the triplets subtly signaled her with their eyes, hinting


    that she mustn’t spill the beans.


    Relieved, Isabe quickly changed the subject.


    “Oh my, it’s rare for you toe back. You must join us for dinner tonight. It’s my treat!”


    Neera would naturally not stand on ceremony with her and readily agreed, “Sure thing.”


    The triplets also gathered around, lying on the edge of the couch, yfully giggling and acting cute.


    “Mommy, Godmother, there’s no time like the present. How about we go now? Let’s go to the


    amusement park for some fun. What do you say?”


    “Sure!” Isabe was more than happy to spend more time with them. She readily agreed, “You guys are


    in charge today. Whatever you want, I will make it happen!”


    Neera couldn’t help butugh and decided to just go along with it.


    When she left, she sent a message to Jean, informing him about her itinerary.


    Jean initially wanted to borrow Zephyr from her. However, after seeing the message, he felt uneasy


    about her being alone without protection. Thus, he had to temporarily give up on his n, deciding to


    have Zephyr and Cloud take action tonight instead.


    After all, it was easier to get things done when the night was dark.


    So he quickly replied, telling them to have a good time and to meet up for dinner.
