    Neera understood that he was unhappy because of her. With a helpless tug at the corner of her mouth,


    she pulled him to sit down beside her.


    “All right. I’m not even worried, yet you’re all worked up. Don’t let unworthy people or trivial matters


    upset you. There’s no need for it. What’s done is done. We just need to find a solution. We’ll deal with


    whateveres our way. After all, I have a clear conscience, so I have nothing to fear.”


    At this point, she remembered something and let out a sigh.


    “As for Wilfrid…’


    Speaking of Wilfrid, a flicker of emotion crossed Jean’s eyes. “Is it true that he’s gone to work?”


    He didn’t know much about Wilfrid, but he instinctively felt that this was yet another scheme concocted


    by Nigel and Maggie behind the scenes.


    Neera pursed her lips slightly, nodding in admission. “It must be true. I wouldn’t mistake the the photo.”


    Jean’s brows furrowed even tighter. “Why does he have to work? Is it really that difficult?”


    person in


    Neera let out a sigh. “Thest time I saw him, I gave him a card. I repeatedly advised him not to worry


    about so much. Now is the most crucial time for him. All he needs to do is eat well, drink well, rest well,


    and focus on preparing for his exams. But to my surprise, he didn’t spend a cent on the card and went


    to work instead. He probably doesn’t want to ask for money from home anymore, thinking he’s grown


    up and wants to support himself with his own hands and feet.”


    At this point, she paused, as if recalling something.


    “Or perhaps there’s another possibility. He knows about his parents contacting me and doesn’t want


    them to bother me anymore. So, he’s trying to prove himself by earning money, hoping to show that he


    can support his family. But this naive boy, he’s being too idealistic. The money he’s making now is


    barely enough for his own living, let alone satisfying the greed of his parents.”


    Whenever Neera thought of Wilfrid, he would feel somewhat of a headache.


    “Wilfrid has been stubborn since he was a child, always having his own opinions. Once he sets his


    mind. on something, he sticks to it, even if it means running into a brick wall. He won’t back down an


    inch. I really don’t know who he takes after with this temperament.”

    When Jean heard that, his expression eased somewhat, a rare urrence.


    He lowered his gaze to her troubled expression, his eyebrows twitching slightly. In a leisurely manner,


    he said, “Who else could it be? Isn’t it right in front of you?”


    Neera blinked, pointing at herself. “Are you saying Wilfrid is like me?”


    Jean nodded. “Of course, it’s just your nature that might have influenced him unknowingly. From your


    description and portrayal, it’s clear that he’s a man of integrity. Unlike his parents, he’s not selfish or


    greedy. It’s truly remarkable.”,


    Because he had heard that Wilfrid had always stood up for his sister when he was a child, he had a


    slightly better attitude toward this young man, willing to say a few kind words.

    Then, he sneered, pulling at the corner of his mouth, and said coldly, “But he probably didn’t expect


    that he himself would be a tool used by his parents. It seems they knew all along that their son


    had gone out to work, but they didn’t stop him. Not only did they not stop him, but at this point, they


    even thought of using him to gain public sympathy to deal with you. If he knew, he would definitely feel


    awful.”


    What Neera cared about was indeed this.


    And in the whole matter, it was this very point that infuriated her the most.


    Nigel and Maggie’s opinions of her didn’t bother her in the slightest.


    However, how could they dismiss Wilfrid so casually?


    People often said that even wild beasts looked after their young. No matter what, that was still their


    own flesh and blood. How could they possibly treat him as a tool for their own benefit?


    Even though they clearly knew that this was the most crucial time for his studies, a significant


    opportunity in his life’s journey, how could they take it so lightly?


    Do they truly care for him, or do they just see him as their tool?


    A tool that can be utilized, unted, relied upon, and demanded?


    The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.


    Hesitating for a moment, she picked up her phone again, found the photo online, and showed it to


    Jean.


    “Can you see if you can locate this cafe from this photo?”


    Jean nced at it. Without a hint of hesitation, he said calmly, “Send it to Ian. He will find it soon. It’s


    not a problem.”


    Neera nodded, then promptly sent the photo to Ian’s WhatsApp.


    In no time, Jean waited for Neera to finish freshening up, and then they went downstairs together.


    At this moment, Wrenn and Frederic were sitting in the living room downstairs, both focusing on the


    happenings on the inte.


    At this, Wrenn was extremely annoyed. The more she looked at it, the angrier she became, and she


    flung her phone onto the coffee table in frustration.


    “This is all nonsense! These people don’t know anything, yet they’re here spouting off, talking


    gibberish! It’s absolutely outrageous!”


    Frederic was also angry, butpared to her, he was much moreposed.


    “s, isn’t this the current state of affairs? People just parrot what others say without bothering to verify


    the truth. They believe whatever they see, standing on their moral high ground, criticizing and


    commenting. They can say all sorts of unpleasant things. If you take it all to heart and take it seriously,


    you’ll never stop being upset.”


    Wrenn crossed her arms, leaned back into the couch, and huffed in annoyance. Her face wore a rather


    unpleasant expression.


    “I know, but I’m still angry. These people don’t understand the truth at all, yet they’d rather nder us,


    making Neera seem worthless. How can our Beauvort family tolerate such humiliation? I wonder if


    Jean has managed to suppress the public opinion.”


    Frederic saw the situation very clearly. “This matter can’t be suppressed anymore. The more we try to


    suppress it, the louder the public opinion will be. Who knows how ugly the words could get?


    Everyone will think that the Beauvort family is deliberately covering it up, and covering up means


    acknowledging the truth.”


    “What kind of logic is this? Is there any inevitable connection?” Wrenn frowned, her face full of


    disbelief.


    Frederic sighed softly. “That’s just the way things are. You don’t need to worry about it. The youngsters


    will surely find a way. After all, Neera’s adoptive parents are not to be underestimated…”


    As the two were talking, Neera and Jean came down.


    Neera pursed her lips, her expression apologetic as she said, “I’m sorry for the trouble my foster


    parents have caused the Beauvort family.”


    Seeing here down, Wrenn quickly stood up, took her hand, andforted her.


    “You silly girl, what are you talking about? We’re family. There’s no need for apologies. If something


    happens, we face it together. Besides, the Beauvort family has nothing to fear about. We don’t care


    about these rumors and gossip. However, they might affect you negatively. I’m worried they might


    tarnish your reputation.”
