Chapter 1234
“Mr. Cox… Aren’t youing?” Neera called out to Avery when she noticed he had fallen behind.
Snapping back to reality, Avery pushed aside the unsettling feeling in his heart and quickly caught up,
saying, “All right. Let’s go.”

Matthew was still somewhat upset because of what had just happened.
Upon seeing Neera, he naturally disyed his displeasure. Wearing a sour expression, he spoke in an
unfriendly tone. “I really didn’t expect that in the end, it would be you who would surrender.”
Neera was prepared for his reaction and calmly responded, “I never expected to end up with the white
g. It seems that even with all the scheming and plotting, a favorable oue isn’t guaranteed. The
Jennings family is a prime example.”
“Hmph! The Bartitsu Guild has always been like this. If you want something, you have to fight for it.
This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. The weak can only be defeated, while the strong
can do as they please. That’s the rule. The Jennings family lost because they weren’t strong or smart
enough. Their current predicament is what they deserve. But for someone like you, who doesn’t fight or
scramble for power, to obtain the white g and be the district president, it’s truly unprecedented!”
Neera sensed his implication. She slightly lowered her eyes, remaining silent.
Matthew suddenly changed the subject and started questioning her, “Ms. Garcia, what exactly is your
rtionship with Lordsworth Estate?”
Neera looked down and calmly answered, “We have no connection whatsoever.”
With a cold snort, Matthew tly refused to believe it.
“Do you even believe what you’re saying? I’ve been in Phison for many years and seen all sorts of
things, but I’ve never seen Lordsworth Estate protect someone like this! You’ve never been to Phison
before, so howe you’re an exception as soon as you arrive?”
Neera fell silent for a moment, then said, “I don’t know why, but it seems I am an exception. I truly have
no connection with Lordsworth Estate. Before I came here, I didn’t even know anyone from Lordsworth
Estate. As for why Lordsworth Estate is willing to support me, I’ve exined it before. ording to the
deputy lord, Mr. McClure, I once saved the lord’s life. I am a doctor, and saving lives is my duty. I have
saved countless people, and it’s possible that I inadvertently saved this important person in the past.
However, I have no idea what he looks like, so I can’t say for sure.” She paused, carefully framing her
question. “Mr. Lozano, could you perhaps describe what the lord looks like? I might be able to recall
something.”
Matthew stared at her, trying to discern whether her words were true or false.
Seeing her calm and sincere demeanor, his gaze finally softened. “It’s pointless. The one from
Lordsworth Estate is always elusive, never showing his face publicly. Even if he has appeared, it’s not
his true face. He might be in disguise. Even if you happened to save him, you wouldn’t recognize him.”
Neera nodded in resignation. “Well, there’s nothing I can do then. Every word I’ve said is true, Mr.
Lozano. If you don’t believe me, I really don’t have any other evidence to prove myself. But the decision
is ultimately yours to make.”
Matthew’s expression was somber, but he didn’t give her a hard time anymore.
After a moment, he propped himself up and stood, letting out a deep sigh. “Forget it, The Jennings
family has been annihted today, and Ste’s words no longer hold any weight. Although your
association with the Gordon family will be discussed, there is no concrete evidence, so no one can
me you for anything. However, in the future, I hope you remember your position and not get too
close to Lordsworth Estate. Always remember, the Gordon family is always a force within the Bartitsu
Guild. Also, as the district president, you should focus your attention on the fifth district, manage it well,
and avoid causing any trouble.”
Neera nodded, indicating that she understood.
Afterward, Matthew waved his hand, signaling her to leave. “You go ahead. I still have things to discuss
with Mr. Cox.”
Neera nced at Avery, and he nodded in acknowledgment, so she left.
Shane and his group were waiting not far away. Seeing her return, they quickly asked, “How did it go?
What did Mr. Lozano say to you?”
Neera chose not to hide anything and told the truth.
After hearing that, Shane slightly furrowed his brows. “It seems he still doubts your rtionship with
Lordsworth Estate, suspecting you might be one of their people.”
Neera seemed lost in thought. “It’s not that bad. My rtionship with Lordsworth Estate is now
inseparable, but it’s merely a positive rtionship. The Gordon family hasn’t pledged allegiance to
Lordsworth Estate, nor have we harmed the guild’s interests. Even if he’s unhappy, he can’t really say
anything. I think what he cares more about is my loyalty. Thosest words served as a warning to me.”
