Chapter 1263
Internally, Neera had already begun to scoff, yet she maintained a facade of respect, allowing him to
finish his speech courteously.
However, from this point forward, she had no intention of showing him any more respect.
“I understand what you’re saying, Mr. Logan, but for a member of the Logan family to talk about letting
go of grudges, well, that seems a bit uncharacteristic, doesn’t it?”
A polite smile graced her lips, yet on her beautiful and captivating face, there was not a trace of
friendliness. Instead, it radiated authority.
“So the Logan family knew all along that both the Gordon and Logan families belong to the Bartitsu
Guild. The Gordon family did not provoke the Logan family, nor did we ever do anything to wrong them.
Yet, the Logan family still attacked us on Mount Cloud. They not only harmed the Gordon family but
also showed no mercy to the Cox and Medicina families. Anyone associated with the Gordon family
was targeted. They were so ruthless, and now they want to lightly brush it off with an excuse that they
were deceived by the Jennings family? That doesn’t seem quite right, does it? Besides, you im to
come with sincerity. However, for such a significant matter as harming the Gordon family and plotting
against me, the head of the Gordon family, the Logan family has only sent you. The head of the Logan
family is nowhere to be seen. What kind of sincerity is this? It seems more like a perfunctory gesture,
doesn’t it? Even though I’m young and haven’t spent much time in the Phison, or as you would say, my
roots aren’t deep or stable, is that a reason for the Logan family to disrespect me?”
In a calm and gentle tone, she posed a series of questions, her aura intensifying with each question.
Stefan was instantly taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated her sudden outburst. His mouth moved as if to
speak, but he was so shocked that he couldn’t manage to articte a single word.
Seeing this, Neera chuckled lightly and continued speaking.
“Actually, I don’t really want to use my status to suppress others, nor do I want to bully people with my
power. However, today I have no choice but to show some authority. On a smaller scale, I am the head
of the Gordon family, on par with the head of the Logan family. On arger scale, I am the ninth elder of
the Bartitsu Guild and the district president of the other five districts. My status should be above the
head of the Logan family. Do I not merit a personal visit from him?”
Stefan rubbed his hands together. “Well…”
Neera gracefully lifted the coffee cup and took a leisurely sip, her demeanor exuding elegance.
Shane quietly watched at the side, a hint of yful amusement surfacing in his eyes.
He had nned to step in if she couldn’t handle it.

Surprisingly, she was fearless in the face of any situation. No matter what came her way, she handled it
with ease.
He was no longer of any use.
Indeed, it was crucial for Neera to assert her authority. Otherwise, others might perceive her as an easy
target. As for him, he seemed perfectly content to sit back and enjoy the spectacle.
“Ms. Garcia, the Logan family truly has no intention of bing enemies with the Gordon family…”
“Ms. Garcia, the Logan family truly has no intention of bing enemies with the Gordon family…”
“Whether we bear a grudge or not, it’s no longer up to the Logan family to decide, is it? And it shouldn’t
be you who suggests letting go of resentment. Mr. Logan, don’t forget, we, the Gordon family, are the
victims here. Where is it heard that the offender asks the victim to let go of their grudge and coexist
peacefully? Everyone cares about thei reputation. The way the Logan family is acting is indeed
somewhat unprincipled.”
What she was implying was that the Logan family had no shame.
Stefan understood that, of course, and his expression changed several times.
Neera observed it all, her lips curving in an indifferent smile.
“Mr. Logan, our families aren’t typically ones to sit down and have a chat. But since you’re here, there’s
no need for pretense. Let’s cut to the chase and speak frankly. I understand the Logan family’s
concerns. You’re worried that the Gordon family, now in a position of power, will settle old scores when
the timees. Rest assured that I don’t have the leisure to nitpick with petty individuals. Since the
neutral party has already given the punishment, let’s consider this matter settled.”
Upon listening to these words, Stefan didn’t know whether to feel joy or anger. Cold sweatyered on
his forehead, andrge beads of perspiration trickled down from his temples.
His intuition told him that the woman would not relent.
Sure enough, before long, Neera swiftly changed the topic.
“However, just because I choose to let bygones be bygones, it doesn’t mean that the Gordon family
and the Logan, family can live in harmony. The actions of the Logan family have indeed caused harm
to the Gordon family first, which has understandably resulted in a chill in our familial rtions.
Therefore, I must say, I will not ept this gift today. If I ept your gift, how will others perceive the
Gordon family? If I ept your gift today, should I also ept the gifts from other families who have
once harmed the Gordon family tomorrow? What would be of the Gordon family then?”
Stefan was at a loss for words. In the end, he could only respond awkwardly before he walked away in
dejection.
Upon leaving the Gordon residence, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face contorted as if he
had swallowed a fly.
I’ve really underestimated that woman. I initially dismissed her as eye candy. Despite Chad’s strong
endorsement, I assumed she was merely maintaining appearances with the backing of other Gordon
family members. To my surprise, she proved to be quite eloquent, skillfully deflecting all my statements.
