However…
“Even so, you mustn’t speak in such an ambiguous manner in the future. Even if you don’t mean
anything by it, there’s no guarantee others won’t misunderstand.”
Whenever it involved Neera, Jean couldn’t tolerate even the slightest misunderstanding.
Jean gently pinched Neera’s chin, lifting it slightly to meet his squinted eyes. Her heart pounded in her
chest.
Even after being together for so long, whenever she saw his eyes filled with possessiveness and heard
his domineering words, she couldn’t help but be moved.
The thought of this man, who only showed this side of himself in her presence, expressing all his love
and care for her without any reservation, filled her with even more satisfaction and joy. In truth, he’s not
the only one with a strong desire for exclusivity. I feel the same way too.
At that thought, she smiled charmingly, her eyes sparkling, radiating a captivating glow. “Okay. I’ll listen
to you.”
That phrase sounded familiar. Jean remembered that he often used to say the same thing to coax her
and couldn’t help butugh.
He gently pinched her soft cheek, his hand sliding down to hold hers once again as he deftly changed
the subject. “What’s your n now?”
After some thought, Neera said, “I guess there’s nothing else. For now, Shane is taking care of those
five districts for me. Uncle Chad is helping me get a feel for the situation. As for the guild, they’re
probably focused on the Jagger family’s affairs right now, so there’s no need for me to do anything.”
Jean’s eyebrows lifted slightly. “So, can you spare some time for me now?”
Neera smiled. “Absolutely.”
Jean was quite satisfied. “What do you want to do? Phison is vast. Do you want to go somewhere
else?”
Neera chuckled. “You sound like a tour guide, as if you’re very familiar with this ce.”

Jean paused for a moment, then casually said, “I heard a few things on my way here.”
Neera didn’t dwell on that. She nodded, then suddenly turned her head to look at the sea, an idea
forming in her mind. “How about we take the three little beasts and set out to sea together?”
Naturally, Jean would agree to anything she asked for. He agreed without a second thought.
He was just about to suggest making the arrangements himself when he heard Neera say, “All right,
then, I’ll have someone prepare the yacht when we get back. We’ll set off first thing tomorrow morning.”
Only then did Jean remember his current status. He arched his brow, curled his lips, and said, “Okay.”
Just as Jean and Neera got into the car and left the dock, another vehicle emerged from around the
corner of the dock warehouse.
Phoebe sat in the driver’s seat, her beautiful eyes shrouded in gloom, losing their charm and revealing
a hint of ruthlessness.
That day was the day Avery set off, and she was fraught with worry.

She had intended to apany Avery there, to bid him farewell, but he ruthlessly rejected her, not
even sparing her a nce before he left.
That feeling of beingpletely overlooked brought her both pain and resentment.
She quietly followed him out, just for the sake of stealing a distant nce at him. In a deserted corner,
she watched him leave, her eyes lingering on him with reluctance.
When she saw that Neera had also arrived, her resentment intensified. Seeing Avery’s gentle
demeanor toward Neera, Phoebe was almost driven to madness by jealousy. Why has Avery never
treated me this way? Where do I fall shortpared to her? Is it because I am his nominal cousin, and
because of this constraint, he refuses to acknowledge my feelings for him? If that’s the case, I won’t
mind ending this rtionship! We aren’t rted by blood, so why can’t we be together?
Ju
A myriad of thoughts swirled in her mind. All her emotions, upon seeing the man beside Neera, initially
simmered down. However, after a two-second pause, they transformed into deep-seated anger.
Just by looking at that man’s appearance and the aura he exuded, Phoebe could guess that he was no
ordinary individual. How on earth does Neera have such incredible luck to be surrounded by so many
outstanding men? She has the love of someone like Avery, but she doesn’t know how to cherish it.
Instead, she’s choosing to be with another man? I’ve been yearning to be with Avery for so many
years, yet my wish could never be fulfilled! Neera Garcia! I’ll never let her get away with this!
The car sped along the road, and as soon as she returned to the Cox residence, she immediately
made a phone call. “Find out for me the background of the man apanying the head of the Gordon
family, and do it as soon as possible!”
A deep and hoarse voice sounded on the other end of the line. “Understood, Ms. Cox.”
In less than half an hour, she received a phone call. “The man’s name is Jean Beauvort, the current
head of the Beauvort family in Kingsview and the CEO of Beauvort Group.”
”
“Beauvort Group? Are you sure he’s from the Beauvort family in Kingsview? Are you certain there’s no
mistake?”
“Absolutely, without a doubt.”
Kingsview’s Beauvort family was a renowned and prestigious household, well-known even in Phison.
The prestigious reputation of Beauvort Group went without saying. Even the top-tier families of Phison
held it in high regard.
Phoebe had anticipated that the man was of no ordinary status, but she didn’t expect him to be that
formidable. Neera is indeed lucky. She managed to be with such an exceptional man and even became
acquainted with the Gordon family. She underwent aplete transformation and became the head of
the Gordon family. Not only does she have a marriage arrangement with the Cox family, but Avery is
also thoroughly captivated by her.
For a moment, Phoebe couldn’t articte her inner feelings.
