    Neera was feeling uneasy inside, a look of worry showing on her face.


    Chad’s expression also looked somewhat grave.

    “The Jagger family has been entrenched on Adieu Ind for so many years and is a tough nut to crack.


    The guild has tried kicking up a fuss a few times, but each attempt has been fruitless. I’m afraid it’s


    going to be very difficult for the Cox family to seed this time.”


    Since the matter didn’t concern him, Jean didn’t care that much. He busied himself with serving Neera


    some food andforting her.


    “Since the Cox family has already received the news, they will soon send support to the ind. Don’t


    worry. Avery, as the head of the family, is not just for show. He will certainly find a way to break


    through.”


    That being said, Neera still felt uneasy in her heart.


    However, she didn’t want Jean to worry about her. She pursed her lips, nodded, and picked up her fork


    again, selectively eating a few bites.


    Standing off to the side,n hadn’t left yet. At that moment, he appeared as if he wanted to speak but


    hesitated.


    Jean noticed and nced at him. “If there’s anything, let’s talk about it after dinner. There’s no need to


    rush this very moment.”


    His tone was neither cold nor warm, butn keenly detected a hint of displeasure.

    This isn’t good. It seems that Mr. Beauvort is ming me for causing Mrs. Beauvort to lose her


    appetite.


    In response, a helpless look descended upon his face as he obediently kept his mouth shut and left.


    The remaining people at the dinner table fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts.


    Although Neera hadn’t outright said it, Jean could tell that her heart waspletely invested in the


    ind.


    This deeply irked him, especially since the man on Adieu Ind was also his romantic rival, harbored a


    deep affection for his woman, and couldn’t get her out of his mind.


    However, Neera always seemed anxious about something or another. Seeing her like this, he couldn’t


    help but feel heartache.


    Moreover, as much as he didn’t want to admit it, he had to acknowledge that Avery had indeed been a


    great help to Neera. She hated being indebted to others, so her worry was only natural.


    With a silent sigh, he made up his mind.


    After dinner, he calledn into the study.


    “Secretly send some people to Adieu Ind to assess the situation. If the Cox family can’t hold on, lend


    a hand when necessary. Be careful not to let the Cox family discover this.”


    Upon hearing this,n was quite surprised. “Mr. Beauvort, I thought you greatly dislike Avery? Why are


    you offering help now?”


    Jean’s face was expressionless, his voice cold. “If it weren’t for Avery helping Neera previously, I


    wouldn’t care whether he lived or died.”

    However…


    “Mr. Beauvort, the current situation suggests that the Cox family’s troubles aren’t just confined to Adieu


    Ind. I suspect they’re about to face some difficulties here as well.”


    Jean nced at him. “What’s going on?”


    Upon hearing this, Jean’s brows furrowed slightly, “How could this happen? The Cox family must be


    aware that firearms are strictly prohibited. Would Avery really do such a foolish thing?”


    He didn’t believe that Avery would be so foolish.


    Jean was deep in thought. “It’s too early to say. Regardless of the reason, the most crucial point is


    whether the Cox family has vited thew by secretly hoarding firearms.”


    He already had a rough answer to this question.


    Even though he didn’t like Avery as a person, he was still aware of thetter’s ways and style of doing


    things.


    As the head of the family, Avery would never do anything that could harm the Cox family.


    Committing a serious crime like hoarding firearms could ruin an entire family. There was no way Avery


    would take such a risk.


    Hence, it was likely that someone had set him up.


    But who exactly is it? What do they want to do to the Cox family?


    The moren thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.


    “The Cox family probably wouldn’t. Even if we take a step back and assume that the Cox family really


    is hoarding firearms, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to store them in a ce they operate, right? That


    ce is bustling with people every day, so it would just be too risky. The slightest carelessness on their


    part would lead to them being discovered, especially considering therge quantity…”


    “Hmm, indeed it’s strange. How are things at the Cox family now?”


    “It’s not looking good. Mr. Cox is not around, and only a few elders are left to hold the fort. Although the


    Cox family is the secondrgest in Bartitsu Guild, apart from Mr. Cox, no one else in the Cox family has


    much say in the association. The association has made it clear that they intend to conduct a thorough


    investigation. In this matter, the Cox family has no room to maneuver. They can only ept the


    investigation honestly and wait for the result.”


    Jean pondered for a moment, then instructed, “Let’s put this matter aside for now. First, send someone


    to secretly support them on Adieu Ind. Remember, no matter what happens, Avery must not be


    harmed, Finnley too. You must ensure they return alive.”


    He certainly didn’t want Neera to feel guilty for the rest of her life.
