Chapter 1009 Music To My Ears
“Your aunt is a kind person. We are truly grateful for how well she treats you.”
Nadine gently brushed away the stray hairs from her temples while speaking in a tender tone.
At the mention of Adriana, a faint smile surfaced in Neera’s eyes.
“Yes, Aunt Adriana is the person I’m closest to in this world.”
When she said that, she didn’t give it much thought, nor did she have any other intentions.
However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she could feel the atmosphere around her bing
somewhat tense.
Despite their attempts at concealing their emotions, the Park family members were visibly hurt and
disappointed.
Neera suddenly realized that what he just said might have led to some misunderstandings.
She opened her mouth, wanting to make amends, but at that moment, her phone rang. It was a call
from Isabe’s assistant.
“Ms. Garcia, something terrible has happened! It’s really bad.”
On the phone, the girl’s voice was filled with anxiety, as if she was on the verge of tears.
Neera’s heart tightened, while her expression changed instantly. “What’s going on? Calm down and tell
me about it.”
“Director Lopez is missing! After she came to the hospital this afternoon, she went looking for the
pharmacist. But that person didn’te to work today, so she went to thetter’s home. I tried to
dissuade her, telling her it wasn’t safe to go alone, but she insisted that the best approach was to
confront that person, just in case he was nning to flee. And then… she left for a long time and didn’t
come back! I waited and waited, but there was no sign of her. When I tried to call her, I just couldn’t get
through…”
Neera frowned. “Where does that person live?”
“I went there… Since Director Lopez didn’t return and wasn’t answering her phone, I began to worry
that something had happened to her. So, I went to the pharmacist’s house immediately. But that
person, no matter what, wouldn’t admit that the director had been to see him. Instead, he insisted that
he hadn’t seen Director Lopez today. At first, I didn’t suspect him, thinking that Director Lopez must
have had some urgent matter to attend to, and that was why she didn’t return. But just as I was about
to leave, I spotted Director Lopez’s mobile phone under his coffee table. After I exposed him, I
threatened to call the police. Only then did he tell the truth, saying that Director Lopez was taken away
by Alvin’s assistant!”
The young girl spoke frantically in between sobs. It was clear that she was filled with worry and fear.
“Ms. Garcia, Director Lopez has been taken away for such a long time, and there’s been no news.
Could something have happened to her? What are we going to do…”
Neera’s heart pounded in her chest as she listened.
Alvin is ruthless enough to even harm his own grandfather. I can’t bear to imagine what would happen
to Bell now that she has fallen into his hands!
Neeka couldn’t sit still any longer. With a swift motion, she stood up and apologized to the Park family,

“Excuse me, I have an urgent matter to attend to and must leave now. We can discuss any issues
later.”
The Park family members noticed herplexion was off, guessing that something must have
happened.
Edward immediately asked, “Do you need any help?”
Neera shook her head. “No need. I can handle it.”
After she finished speaking, she nodded in acknowledgment, circled around Nadine, and headed
toward the door.
However, she had only taken two steps before she instructed, “If Granny wakes up and wants to see
me, you can take her to Imperial Gardens No. 1. That is where I live.”
The group was initially a bit disheartened, but upon hearing her words, their eyes lit up.
Does her saying this mean she agrees to acknowledge us?
“Alright… Alright!”
Jeremiah was overjoyed, nodding repeatedly.
Tears of joy streamed down Nadine’s face as words of concern slipped out effortlessly.
“We understand, you should get back to whatever you’re doing. Be careful…”
Neera nodded. “Goodbye then, Granddad, Uncle Jeremiah, Aunt Nadine.”
Just now, I inadvertently hurt them with my thoughtless remark. This way, I can cheer them up a little.
After greeting them ordingly, she didn’t waste any more time and turned to leave.
The Park family members stood frozen in ce. It took them quite a while to regain their senses.
Nadine was so overjoyed that she could hardly stand. Tears welled up in her eyes, yet a smile lingered
on her lips.
“Did you all hear that? Neera just called me Aunt Nadine!”

Jeremiah alsoughed and said, “I heard it. She called me Uncle Jeremiah too. It truly was music to my
ears!”
He looked at Elmer with a cheerful smile. “Dad, you must be happy now, right?”
Elmer was clearly very happy, but being egoistic, he deliberately put on a stern face and snorted.
“It’s just an address. What’s there to be so happy about?”
Despite his words, the grin on his face gave away his true feelings.
Everyone knew how prideful Elmer was, but they chose not to appoint it out.
Only Edward had a look of disappointment on his face. “She greeted everyone, but not me…
The delighted Nadineforted her son, “Don’t worry. There are plenty of opportunities to do that in
the
future!”
After Neera came out, he contacted Jean and told him about Isabe’s situation.
“Where are you now?”
Jean understood the seriousness of the situation and immediately asked for details.
Neera quickly gave the address.
Jean immediately knew what to do. “I’m at the office, quite close to you. Can youe here by
yourself, or should Ie pick you up? Even if you want to find Isabe, you need a lead. Don’t take
any unnecessary risks.”
Neera understood and hung up the phone, quickly heading to Beauvort Group.
