Chapter 1153
Chapter 1153 She Will Stay Away From You
Shane immediately took her to visit the research room.
The research room was set up on the top floor of the mansion.
After going up, Neera discovered that all the partitions on that floor had been removed, creating a very
spacious single room.
Inside, just as Shane said, all sorts of instruments needed for research had been arranged. They were
all thetest and most cutting-edge in technology.
To the right, there was an entire wall of cabs filled with all sorts of bottles and jars, housing both
common and umon varieties of medicines.
“Wow! The environment here is really nice!” Neera looked around and checked out the things inside.
Her eyes were filled with delight.
Shane smiled faintly. “As long as you like it, that’s all that matters. Uncle Chad had already reminded
me that you’re a workaholic. No matter where you are, you always need a research room. I figured, this
ce will also be your home in the future, so if we’re going to do it, we might as well do it the best we
can. We can’t let our dear Neera feel wronged.”
Neera felt somewhat embarrassed by his words, yet also found them veryforting. “Shane, thank
you. Both you and Uncle Chad have gone to great lengths for me.”
Shane’s arms were crossed in front of him, leaning casually against the door, a loose smile on his face.
“We’re all family here, so there’s no need for such formality. It’s my duty to look out for you. After all, my
initial intention, along with Uncle Chad’s, was to make things asfortable and convenient for you as
possible. I’ve consulted with Uncle Chad about these instruments. They’re the same ones you used at
your research institute in Essley. I’ve managed to gather them for you to use. If there’s anything else
you need, just let me know. I’ll sort it out for you.”
Neera curved her lips into a smile. “All right. Thank you, Shane!”
She had just bought some medicinal materials earlier. Without further ado, she immediately started to
work on them with full concentration.
Avery hade all the way, seizing every opportunity to spend time with her, insisting on staying to
lend her a hand.
However, Neera was not buying it and drove him out. “Mr. Cox, the research base is not a ce for
outsiders to disturb. I appreciate your kindness, but there’s no need for you to assist. I can handle it on
my own.”
Seeing the situation, Avery could only helplessly retreat.
Seeing him fail miserably, Shane couldn’t help but mock him, “Tsk! It seems like you have a lot to do to
get the woman you like, Mr. Cox.”
Avery initially didn’t think much of it. However, after hearing his words, coupled with Neera’s constant
aloofness toward her, his mood instantly soured. “Shane, do you profit from watching me fail?”
Shane leisurely descended the stairs. “Not at all. I just rarely get to see you get the cold shoulder. I’m
just here to enjoy the show.”
Avery’s face darkened. He scoffed, not wanting to engage with Shane.
Shane nced at him, suddenly asking, “Did you intentionally let the media spread those rumors about
Neera and you?”
Shane was well aware of Avery’s temperament and abilities. If this guy doesn’t want something to be
spread, he would undoubtedly suppress all mediapanies at any cost. Even if people were to
spread it privately, the media wouldn’t reveal a single word. If he had done that, the matters concerning
the two of them wouldn’t have caused such a stir.
Avery didn’t hide it, and with a stern face, he admitted, “Yes.”
He had always been steadfast in what he wanted to do, unafraid of letting others know.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
The two descended the stairs. Shane paused, his expression bing more serious. “Aren’t you
afraid of Neera’s retaliation? She doesn’t want this marriage to happen, and the recent news has been
troubling her a lot.”
Avery’s lips tightened into a line. After a few seconds, he finally said, “I don’t care. Whether she
opposes or frets, as long as I can achieve my ultimate goal, everything else will pass.”
Avery actually did it for two reasons.
One was that Bartitsu Guild was still watching him like a tiger eyeing its prey. He had to perform for
their sake.
Secondly, he was acting out of self-interest, wanting to blow things out of proportion as much as
possible to make it a done deal, leaving Neera with no room to refuse.
Shane saw right through Avery, as if thetter’s heart was a clear mirror.
“Avery, although the marriage alliance between the Cox and Gordon families is indeed a fact, and your
actions are not without reason, don’t forget your original intention. Winning Neera’s heart is what you
truly desire. If she finds. out and distances herself from you or even despises you, then all your
painstaking efforts will only be in vain,” Shane advised.
Hearing that, Avery frowned and remained silent.
Shane had no intention of letting him speak, either. “I’ll remind you of this,” he said. “Neera may seem
easygoing and agreeable, but she’s extremely strong-willed. You should know where her heart lies. I
don’t want you to seize her by force. You’re free to pursue her, but be gentle in your approach, and
don’t try to manipte her. If you can’t win her over, don’t push it. I don’t want to see her unhappy. My
uncle also asked me to tell you not to go too far. No matter what, you can’t put Neera in a difficult
position.”
Shane spoke those words with utmost seriousness, not a hint of jest in his tone.
Avery knew that was a warning from Chad. His mood slightly sank, but he didn’t say anything and just
nodded in agreement.
Neera remained oblivious to the conversation between the two, staying in the research room and falling
into her usual habit of beingpletely absorbed in doing research.
Fortunately, the drug being developed this time around was not very difficult.
On the third day, all the medicines were sessfully produced.
