Chapter 204 You''ve Suffered
Neera spoke with conviction.
Frederic was unexpectedly taken aback by her words. There was a surprise in his eyes
He found a strong sense of pride in her demeanor...
Such traits were extremely rare in the modern age where fickleness was amon sight. It was something he
hadn''t seen in a while.
To think he would find these qualities in Neera, who was rumored to have a “bad reputation”.
Was a girl like her truly someone so reckless?
He suddenly thought that there might be more to the story behind what had happened in the past
Wrenn’s expression was still somewhat unsightly.
She knew she was in the wrong, but she believed that, as the elder, Neera shouldn’t have been so confrontational. Neera should
have taken the initiative to offer her a way out.
It was clear, however, she had no intentions of doing so.
Wrenn was left speechless.
Fortunately, Frederic stepped in to defuse the situation and redirected the conversation.
“Alright. We''ll be more careful in the future. This was indeed our mistake. We won''t believe those rumors so willy-nilly again. We
won''t interfere with your lives again since both you and Jean are doing well.”
With that, he got to his feet and left with the ufortable Wrenn.
Jean saw them out the door.
He returned to the living room once they were gone. He pursed his lips and apologized, “I’m sorry for putting you in that
situation.”
Neera pouted. “Forget it. It''s fine. | can’t be bothered with them. Besides, it’s not the first time someone hase to question me
this way. It’s okay.”
With that said, she was no longer in the mood to stay and turned to leave.
Jean could tell she was still upset despite her ims that she was fine.
After all, having baseless nder piled onto her wouldn’t sit well with anyone either.
lan also noticed and couldn''t help but feel worried.
“Ms. Garcia seems upset, Sire. Will she stop treating you in a fit of anger? What are we supposed to do if that happens?”Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.
Jean’s gaze sharpened with confidence. “She wouldn''t. She’s not the type of person to go back on her word.”
Seeing his expression,n realized he had overthought the situation and quickly apologized, “I misspoke.”
He then furrowed his brows. He couldn''t help but grumble. “Roxanne Garcia has certainly caused a lot of
It didn’t take a genius to figure out it was that woman who spread these rumors!
Jean’s eyes darkened:
The reason Neera suffered verbal humiliation from his mother stemmed from these rumors. The instigator behind it, without a
doubt, was Roxanne.
The Garcias were a den of wolves who treated Neera with great cruelty!
Permanecié en silencio, pero Lan, todavia furioso, siguid quejandose.
“Esa mujer es bastante intrigante. E manipuld a Sra. Garcia y le caus6 sufrimiento hace cinco afios. Cinco afios después, te
toma por tonto. Sus métodos son deplorables. Afortunadamente, que se caso con un miembro de familia es Sra. Garcia y
no e. jLa genteo Roxanne ni siquiera es digna de ser el limpiabotas de Sra. Garcia! Ademas, e es que tiene una
rcién ambigua con Zachary. Qué par de escoria...”
Al escuchar esto, Jean fruncié el cefio. Lenz6 una mirada de reojo y pregunto: “; Qué significa eso?”
Por lo general, mostraba poco interés en los asuntos ajenos.
Nunca le habia prestado atencién a Roxanne.
Ignoraba porpleto de qué estaba hando Lan.
Lan explicd de inmediato: “Le he informado del asunto antes. El ex prometido de Sra. Garcia y su hermanastra se unieron
para conspirar contra e. Esto result6 en su reputacion arruinada. Mas tarde lo investigué y descubri que habia mas en
historia... Roxanne habia estado mucho tiempo con Zachary. jEse incidente podria haber sido su n conjunto!
“Ademas, sefiora Garcia supuestamente estaba en el hotel ese dia porque habia asistido al banquete de cumpleafios de
Roxanne el dia anterior... jAl dia siguiente, se despertd con rumores de que habia pasado una noche apasionada con tres
hombres en el hotel!”
La voz de Lan bajé a un susurro bajo: “jA decir verdad, siempre pensé que habia algo sospechoso en este asunto! La Sra.
Garcia acababa de regresar del campo unos meses antes en ese momento. Tenia una personalidad muy timida e inocente. E
siempre estuvo cerca de Zachary. jJunto con supromiso, es muy poco probable que hubiera hecho algo tan vergonzoso!
