    By then, Zephyr waspletely perplexed. He was a fanatic of fighting arts, and although he was quité


    intelligent, he despised beating around the bush and pondering over such convoluted matters.


    “Why can’t he see Ms. Garcia? He has provided significant assistance, so it can’t possibly be because


    he distrusts her, can it? That wouldn’t make any sense at all.”


    “That’s impossible,” Chad firmly replied. “Based on his various actions, there’s no doubt that he has


    absolute trust in Neera.”


    Simultaneously, a glint shed across his eyes. Ah… I believe I’m on the verge of uncovering the truth.


    Charles, too, could feel his mind working. “If he’s intentionally avoiding Ms. Garcia, then it might be


    because he’s someone she knows. If they were strangers, it wouldn’t matter even if they met. But if


    they’ve known each other for a long time, meeting in person would mean exposing his identity.


    Therefore, the lord might likely be someone Ms. Garcia is familiar with.”


    “Yes. That makes sense,” Chad said before sitting up straight, his eyes narrowing as he considered the


    people close to Neera. Hmm. Who could be the lord of Phison? There don’t seem to be many people I


    can choose from…


    At that point, Zephyr finally caught on. Combining the information previously provided by Charles, he


    made a bold


    guess.


    “Ms. Garcia had just arrived in Phison when Mr. Beauvort disappeared from Kingsview without a trace.


    At the same time, an unidentified private jetnded in Phison with unknown passengers, and Mr.


    Beauvort’s travel records arepletely nk. Then, Lordsworth Estate broke its rules by supporting


    Ms. Garcia, yet the lord who imed to be repaying a favor never showed up. Even after Mr. Beauvort


    arrived in Phison, he never appeared either… Mr. Gordon, do you think Mr. Beauvort could be the lord


    of Lordsworth Estate?”


    As it turned out, Chad was toying with the same idea, but he couldn’t be entirely certain.


    “Not necessarily. These are all just our spections, and there’s no solid evidence to support them. We


    could be overthinking, or it could also be that Jean is well acquainted with the higher-ups in Lordsworth


    Estate. In any case… It’s hard to say.”


    That being said, Chad always felt that his train of thought was correct.


    From the moment Jean first appeared in the city, Chad had already sensed that something was amiss,


    so he instructed Charles to investigate further.


    As he had anticipated, everything was a blurry mess.


    However, this could also shed light on some issues.


    In any case, one thing was certain-Jean Beauvort was no ordinary man!


    He was definitely more than just the CEO of Beauvort Group, and chances were, he held a significant


    position in


    Phison too!


    Back on Wind Chime Ind, Neera was still sound asleep.


    At that moment, it still didn’t ur to her that her carelessness had provided an opportunity for those


    with malicious intentions.


    Standing in the corridor, Jean gazed at the courtyard outside the window, his gaze dark and cold.


    10:30 Tue, 14 Nov


    It waste and quiet, and everything was shrouded in shadow.

    Instead of hesitating, he made a quick decision. “There’s no rush. Let’s wait patiently. Once they take


    action, we’ll swoop in and capture them all in one fell swoop. Not a single one will be allowed to


    escape!”


    Not caring in the slightest, Jean turned around nonchntly. “So what if they suspect me? Am I


    supposed to be afraid of them?”


    With that, he walked into the bedroom without looking back andy down next to Neera.


    Regarding the frenzy that was about to unfold in the mansion, he wasn’t the least bit nervous. On the


    contrary, he downyed it as if nothing was happening.


    Seemingly having sensed the man’s presence, Neera turned over and whimpered before snuggling into


    his arms. Like a cat, she found afortable position to curl up in and quickly returned to sleep.


    Jean wrapped his arms around her and lowered his gaze, his eyes twinkling with joy as they wandered


    over her face.


    Since he wasn’t sleepy, he simply watched her contentedly, never once averting his gaze.


    Twenty minutester, the sound of a fight suddenly erupted from downstairs.


    A fierce glint instantly shed across Jean’s eyes. Left with no choice, he sighed and gently shook the


    woman in his arms awake.


    “Wake up, Neera.”.


    Neera grunted before wriggling into his arms. “I’m sleepy,” she mumbled unconsciously. “D-Don’t


    disturb me…”


    Feeling helpless, Jean tickled the woman with her own hair. “Wake up first. You can go back to sleep


    once everything’s over.”


    By then, Neera was so annoyed that she could no longer remain asleep. After struggling to open her


    eyes, she red at the man. “Why are you disturbing my peaceful dream-”

    Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, the sound of ss shattering rang out from


    downstairs and startled her.


    “What’s that noise? What’s happening downstairs?” she eximed. Having noticed the sounds of a


    brawling. from below, she instantly became alert and sat up straight.


    The next second, the nket slipped from her shoulders, revealing a fair, wless body.


    After stealing a nce at her, Jean felt himself tense up. A fire had ignited within him, leaving his throat


    incredibly dry.


    D*mn it. This woman is far too captivating. I’ve always prided myself on my self-control, yet she has the


    uncanny ability to shatter it like a house of cards!


    Despite that, Jean knew it wasn’t the time to dwell on such thoughts, so he promptly rolled out of bed


    and fetched Neera her clothes.


    “Get dressed first. I’ll take you out to see what’s happening.”
