Chapter 1106


    Chapter 1106 She Could Not Cope With It


    The two of them were quite familiar with each other, so there was no need for formalities when they


    talked to each other.


    Avery was displeased with his teasing, and him a cool sidelong nce. Then he said coldly, “Why do I


    get the feeling that you’re taking pleasure in my misfortune?”


    Shane chuckled and said, “I wouldn’t go as far as to say I’m reveling in your misfortune. It’s just that I’m


    used to seeing you have everything your way, and smooth sailing. It’s rare to see you at a


    disadvantage, so I’m just here to enjoy the show.”


    Avery was long ustomed to his straightforwardness and didn’t bother to argue with him. He merely


    responded with a cold huff.


    “No matter what, she is my fiancée in name, and this engagement was set long ago. To put it simply,


    she is mine. Since she belongs to me, I will naturally find a way to keep her. There’s no need for you to


    spectate, nor trouble yourself with concern.”


    Shane gave a nod, patting his shoulder. “Alright then, you give it your all. It’s not my ce to worry


    about your rtionship anyway. However, if you ever need help, don’t be shy, and just tell me. We’ve


    known each other for so many years, we have a bond. I’m a loyal person, so I definitely won’t stand by


    and do nothing.”


    Avery was utterly annoyed by his incessant chatter. He shrugged his shoulders, coldly avoiding his


    hand.


    “No need. This is none of your business.”


    Having said that, he couldn’t bear to listen to his sarcastic remarks anymore, so he turned around and


    left.


    Later on, the banquet came to a sessful end, and the guests were gradually escorted back to their


    hotels.


    The people who stayed behind were all family. Jeremiah didn’t drink, so he drove everyone back to the


    mansion.


    After returning home, everyone was tired. After bidding each other goodnight, they all retreated to their


    respective rooms to rest.


    Just as the group ascended the stairs, they heard the hurried footsteps of a servant rushing up to them.


    “Mr. Gordon, the third elder has arrived.”


    Upon hearing this news, Chad and Adriana exchanged nces, while Shane slightly squinted his eyes.


    The third elder was Chad’s third uncle, Baxter. Adriana thought of his actions at the banquet today and


    felt somewhat worried.


    “Why is he here sote? Is he here to trouble Neera again, or is it you he’s after this time?”


    Chadforted her, “Don’t overthink. You’ve had a long day. Rest early. I’ll go down to meet him, send


    him off, and thene back up.”


    Adriana pursed her lips and nodded in agreement.


    Before long, Chad descended the stairs with his hands tucked in his pockets, exuding an air of


    nonchnt


    grace.


    It was clear that Baxter had followed him all the way. Upon seeing him, he was the first to speak.

    “Chad, I understand that you were busy during the banquet, but surely you can sit down and have a


    proper conversation with me now, can’t you?”


    His words were phrased as a question, but his tone was rather brusque.


    Chad knew that this was bound to happen sooner orter, so he simply nodded and sat down across


    from him


    “Uncle Baxter, it’s quitete and yet you’ve made a special trip here. Is there something important you


    wish to discuss?”


    Baxter grunted, cutting straight to the chase. “There’s no need for you to beat around the bush or y


    coy with me. You know exactly what I want to discuss.”

    Chad raised an eyebrow, feigning realization. “Ah, I remember now. Are you here about the matter


    concerning Phison.”


    Baxter’s brows furrowed in frustration, unable to suppress his temper any longer as it started to rise.


    Thus, his words also became rude.


    “Are you really going to send that girl who has no connection to the Gordon family?”


    This remark immediately irked Chad, the corners of his mouth tightened as he responded in a clear and


    articte manner.


    “Firstly, it’s not that she has no rtion to the Gordon family. She is Adriana’s niece, and also my niece.


    I’ve said before that I will treat her as my own daughter. Therefore, she is a part of the Gordon family.”


    Secondly, I have already announced that she is the sessor of the Gordon family. This decision will


    not change in any way. Thus, there is no problem with her representing the Gordon family at Phison’s


    election.


    Upon hearing this, Baxter became anxious. “Chad, as the head of the family, you should understand


    how important Phison’s election is. Even if you regard her as your own flesh and blood, she is still a


    young girl. Won’t you look like a fool for sending her there?


    “When the timees, what will people say about the Gordon family? They might even think that


    there’s no one left in our family! Besides, those people in Phison are extremely ruthless. Aren’t you


    afraid she won’t be able to cope with them?”


    Chad responded with ease, “I will arrange for someone to go with her. I will also have Shane


    apany her on this trip. He will assist Neera, so you need not worry.”
