《The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 ¡°Have you heard about it? Last night, in this very room, the recently reunited daughter of the Garcia family was having an orgy with three hooligans!¡± ¡°Really? That¡¯d be big news if it were true¡­¡± Arge group of reporters crowded in front of the presidential suite of Kingsview¡¯s Pis Hotel early in the morning. Everyone poised their cameras and microphones and waited for the appearance of the main character. ¨C In the suite, Neera Garcia was wrapped in only a bath towel. Her face was pale as she huddled in a corner listening to themotion outside. She did not know how things had turned out that way! Last night, she attended the birthday party of Roxanne Garcia, her stepsister. She remembered drinking a ss of fruit juice and passing out shortly after. When she woke up, she found herself in this room, covered in bruises of all sizes. She was sure she did not have any carnal rtions with the ¡°three hooligans¡± like what was said, but¡­ she was also sure that she had done something unmentionable with one man. 10X Strong Teeth Strong You Copare As far as she remembered, she was slipping in and out of consciousness. The man¡¯s face was a blur to her, but the way how the man panted heavily while ravaging her body was clear in her mind. She knew nothing other than that. When she woke up, she could already hear the crowd of reporters outside. Her body began to tremble uncontrobly, and she was at a loss for what to do. Suddenly, she heard some people shouting as though shooing the reporters away. Neera leaned closer to the door to hear better. She recognized the voices to belong to Zachary Fain, her fianc¨¦, and Roxanne. The reporters surrounded them. ¡°Ms. Garcia, is it true that your elder sister has spent the night making out with three men inside the suite?¡± ¡°Mr. Fain, is it true that the Fain family intends to form an alliance with the Garcia family through marriage? If it¡¯s true, do you have any opinion about what your future wife did Roxanne answered sincerely, ¡°My elder sister is indeed inside the suite, but she¡­ didn¡¯t do anything remotely close to whatever you think she did. She has been resting inside because she was drunk. If you want to report this, I hope it will be done truthfully.¡± Zachary¡¯s expression dropped, and he said, ¡°I have no intention of marrying Neera. If I have to choose someone from the Garcia family to marry, it¡¯ll have to be Roxanne! Roxanne is the true daughter of the Garcia family, and not some random girl picked up This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. from the slums three months ago!¡± Those cruel words had directly annulled the engagement between Zachary and Neera. Indirectly, they confirmed the rumors of Neera making out with three men! An hourter, a headline appeared all over the Inte. ¡°Garcia Gangbang! Three Men Ride Neera, Zachary Calls Off Engagement.¡± Thements were overwhelmingly critical of Neera. ¡°She¡¯s from the slums. No wonder she¡¯s so loose!¡± ¡°How can anyone appreciate that tacky makeup? The three hooligans must have specific tastes!¡± At the same time, Neera returned to Garcia Manor. Before she could say anything, she received a p from Alfonso Garcia, her father. Alfonso red at her disdainfully. ¡°You shameless wretch! If I had known you¡¯re so loose with your morals, I shouldn¡¯t have brought you home three months ago! You¡¯ve Ads by Google Stop seeing this ad Why this ed? D utterly ruined the reputation of the Garcia family! Pack your belongings and leave at once. I¡¯ll treat it as though you never existed!¡± The p on Neera¡¯s face was very painful, but it was less than the pain in her heart. Since she was young, her foster parents had been cold and distant toward her. She thought she would finally be able to experience familial warmth after reuniting with her birth family. The way her birth father treated her told her the cold, hard truth. No one in the family weed her presence! If that were the case, Neera would rather leave. Her departure was most celebrated by Susan Lembert, her stepmother, and Roxanne! ¡°Even though Neera went to the wrong room yesterday, we¡¯ve achieved what we wanted! Neera has lost her share of the Garcia family estate, her father despises her, and Zachary has called off the engagement! That¡¯s killing three birds with one stone! I wonder how youe up with such wonderful ideas, Mother!¡± Susan grinned smugly. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t be the matriarch of the family if I didn¡¯t have some tricks up my sleeve! Now that the annoying obstacle is gone, the Garcia family fortune will be entirely yours.¡± Six yearster¡­ A fair-skinned woman in trendy clothes was checking in at the receptionist¡¯s counter of the Paramount Hotel in Kingsview. While typing on hisputer, the male receptionist could not help but steal nces at the woman in front of him. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her facial features were exquisite, and her body was curvaceous in the right ces. She wore a dress that only entuated her long and slender legs but at the same time showcased her feminine elegance. Her demeanor exuded maturity and capability. What was even more attractive was the three children surrounding her. Two of the three children were boys. They were dressed in white shirts and jeans, and they looked identical to each other. The other child was a girl. She wore a princess dress and was currently engrossed in a book. The people who passed by could not take their eyes off them. 63% ¡°Are they triplets? My gosh, they look so charming. It makes me want to have children of my own!¡± 6/11 ¡°Is that woman their elder sister or mother? She looks so beautiful. Is she a celebrity?¡± Neera overheard thosements. She nced at her three children and grinned smugly. She was proud of them. They stole the limelight wherever they went! Six years ago, after being kicked out of the Garcia household, she had nowhere to go. Eventually, her aunt Adriana took her in and brought her abroad, to Essley. She did not expect that she was already pregnant! When she realized it, she was already more than three months pregnant. In Essley, it was illegal to have an abortion beyond the first trimester. With no other choice, she carried the babies to term and gave birth to them. She thought that was the best decision she had ever made. Thanks to thepany of the three children, she managed to get back on her feet. Very soon, the check-in wasplete, and Neera beckoned at her children. ¡°Come on, babies. Let¡¯s go upstairs!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± the three children replied with their adorable voices. They dragged their suitcases and followed Neera into the elevator. After they had gone into the room, Neera fell tiredly on the bed. She did not want to move. She had administered treatment to a patient before boarding her flight. The flight was another fourteen hours. By now, she waspletely exhausted. Harvey, her eldest son, leaned over and said softly next to her ear, ¡°Mommy, do you want a massage? You must be tired!¡± ¡°Yes! Thank you, Harvey.¡± Neera smiled indulgently at him. Harvey mbered onto the bed and gently massaged Neera¡¯s shoulders. Neera closed her eyes and said, ¡°You¡¯re bing more and more skilled!¡± Harvey smiled contently at the praise. Sammy, the second son, came over and showed his phone to his mother. ¡°Bad news, Mommy! Wended only two hours ago, but we¡¯re facing a financial crisis! ording to my calctions, this is the amount of money we need to permanently relocate here¡­ But Harvey took the money in the bank ount and invested it into the stock market, and we can¡¯t cash in anytime soon! That¡¯s why¡­ I helped you set up an appointment through the Dark Web. In two days, you¡¯ll have to go to a local tycoon¡¯s house and treat his illness!¡± Neera opened her eyes wide when she heard that. She grumbled, ¡°Can¡¯t you let me rx for a few more days? You¡¯re a ve driver! I have other important things to do too¡­¡± There were a couple of reasons for her return. Not only did she need to manage her aunt¡¯s business, but she also had to return to the Garcia household. Alfonso told her that her birth mother bequeathed her some shares before she passed away, and she needed to sign some paperwork. She did not know why Alfonso was suddenly so nice to her, but she did not mind iming what rightfully belonged to her. The thought of meeting Alfonso and the others already made her unhappy. She was not in the mood to treat any patients. Sammy wagged his finger and said, ¡°No! You have to go! That guy is offering 50 million dors for your services, and he¡¯s willing to pay 30 million in advance! Don¡¯t forget you have three children to raise, and Great-Aunt Adriana needs you too!¡± Neera was on the verge of tears. Can¡¯t I get a break? Harvey had been silent, though he noticed that his little brother needed some help in convincing their mother. ¡°You should go, Mommy! I¡¯ve read the order, and the patient¡¯s condition isn¡¯t difficult by your standards. If you think it¡¯s troublesome, you can get Penny to go with you!¡± Penny, the youngest daughter, chimed in. ¡°Yes, Mommy, I can help you! Don¡¯t forget I¡¯m a doctor too!¡± Now that all three children were in agreement, Neera could not disappoint them. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll ept it. Show me the information. Where¡¯s the tycoon from?¡± Sammy immediately replied, ¡°The patient is Jean Beauvort of Kingsview¡¯s Beauvort family. He has a chronic disease and is bedridden for half the time. Many doctors have tried to treat him, but all have failed. They¡¯re very happy that they¡¯ve found you!¡± Neera gasped when she heard that. ¡°The Beauvort family!¡± That was the most influential family in the country! Jean Beauvort was one of the heavyweights in the business world. He was almost a trillionaire, but he kept a low profile. 11:01 Sun, 6 Aug Chapter 1 Returning With Three Children 10/11 Sammy nodded and patted her shoulder. ¡°Yes! You¡¯ll have to do your best, Mommy. The fifty million dors will fund our first house back here!¡± Harvey alsoforted his mother. ¡°Don¡¯t feel too pressured, Mommy. After this, it¡¯ll be my turn to support the family.¡± Penny added, ¡°And I¡¯ll be¡­ emotional support!¡± Neera grinned. Her three babies were so adorable. Harvey, the first child, was a natural-born investor. He had made a lot of money from the stock market. Sammy, the second child, had an affinity with electronics. He was a master hacker as well. Penny, the third and youngest child, loved to read and dreamed of bing a doctor. She was Neera¡¯s assistant during her consultation sessions. Not only were her children very intelligent, but they were also very empathic. She was willing to give the world to them, and that was why she epted the job. Little did she know¡­ the three children had set her up! Before they returned, they knew about Jean and suspected that he was their real Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Chapter 2 At the same time, Jean Beauvort woke up in another suite in the same hotel. He sat up from the bed, though he still looked lethargic. His face was slightly pale, and the asional coughing fits made him seem weak.

I¡¯ve already delegated your tasks in thepany.¡± Chapter 2 Meeting Daddy Jean stood up and carelessly straightened his shirt cor. ¡°I¡¯m not going to feel any better no matter how much I rest. I know what my body is like.¡± Indeed, his employer had a weak constitution. Despite hiring many famous doctors over the past few years, his condition never once improved. Fortunately for Jean,n managed to find a miracle doctor from abroad. Jean did not seem too happy when he heard the news. ¡°So what? They can¡¯t guarantee they can cure my illness. If none of the world¡¯s best doctors can do anything about it, why should I ce any hope in an anonymous doctor with a dubious im?¡± ¡°You won¡¯t know unless you try!¡±n said. ¡°Also¡­ your father seems to have found a bride for you. He says the marriage is for good luck.¡± Jean frowned when he heard that. Why is Father doing so many unnecessary things? ¡°Who is it this time?¡± he said unhappily. 2/6 11:02 Sun, 6 Aug D Chapter 2 Meeting Daddy Jean frowned even harder. ¡°Find an excuse to say no!¡± he said candidly. Frederic Beauvort, Jean¡¯s grandfather, was the sole voice of authority in the family. If Jean could not convince his grandfather to change his mind, what couldn possibly do? Jean narrowed his gaze and began to cough violently. the conversation topic. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be emotionally agitated. Why don¡¯t you lie on your bed, and I¡¯ll order some food for you?¡± Jean waved his hand. ¡°No¡­ I¡¯ll go downstairs to eat and get some fresh air. In the other suite, Neera eventually fell asleep from exhaustion. Harvey discreetly climbed off the bed and told his younger siblings, ¡°Mommy is asleep. Keep your voices down so you don¡¯t wake her up.¡± Sammy and Penny nodded. They tiptoed out of the room. 3/6 Chapter 2 Meeting Daddy 4/6 Once outside, Penny tugged Harvey¡¯s sleeve and said, ¡°I¡¯m hungry, Harvey. I want to eat something.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also hungry! Before our flight, I¡¯d already found out that the restaurant here is manned by a renowned chef! Shall we go downstairs and eat?¡± Sammy looked at his elder brother eagerly. Harvey crossed his arms and thought for a while before nodding. ¡°Sure. Let¡¯s also get some food for Mommy. I¡¯m sure she¡¯ll be hungry when she wakes up.¡± Sammy and Penny cheered softly. The three children took the ess card and went downstairs. The restaurant was on the first floor of the hotel. Even though it was already past lunchtime, the restaurant remained packed with customers. The triplets could not find any vacant seats. 2 A waiter noticed the triplets and went over to them. ¡°Good afternoon, children. Why are you standing here? Are you looking for your daddy and mommy?¡± Harvey shook his head. ¡°No, we came down here by ourselves. Mommy is napping, and we¡¯re hungry. But¡­ we can¡¯t find any seats.¡± The waiter noticed that Harvey was holding the ess card of a presidential suite, which made the children honored guests. He suggested, ¡°Wait for me for a bit. I¡¯ll help you find some seats. Don¡¯t go anywhere in case you get lost.¡± Harvey was about to nod when Sammy, who had been looking around, suddenly tugged his hand. ¡°Harvey, do you see that guy over there? Is he¡­ that person from the Beauvort family?¡± Harvey looked in the direction Sammy was pointing and noticed Jean sitting at a table next to the window. His eyes widened with delight. ¡°That¡¯s him!¡± That was the person they suspected was their father! They did not expect to meet him here. What a lucky coincidence! Harvey immediately called the waiter and said, ¡°Sir¡­ I don¡¯t think you can find an empty This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. table now. Can we share a table with someone? Over there, there are only two people at that table. Can you help us ask if we can join them?¡± The waiter was not going to refuse. Soon, he arrived in front of Jean andn and asked them, ¡°Excuse me, sirs. It¡¯s the peak hour now, and three children are looking for seats. Do you mind if they join your table?¡± Jean frowned when he heard that. He noticed the triplets some distance away. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 The triplets were staring intently at him¡­ 62% doesn¡¯t like any interruptions when he¡¯s eating, especially from strangers!¡± The waiter was at a loss for what to do. When Harvey saw that, he shot a nce at Sammy. Sammy instantly knew what to do. He went to the table, lifted his head, and looked at Jean with puppy eyes. ¡°Dear handsome sir, won¡¯t you please let us sit with you at your -table? We justnded from a 14-hour flight, and we haven¡¯t had any food to eat! We¡¯re almost starving to death!¡± 1/4 Harvey soon came to the table holding his little sister¡¯s hand. ¡°Sir, we promise we won¡¯t make any noise or disturb you. Please!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so handsome, sir. You¡¯re definitely not a bad guy. You couldn¡¯t bear to see us starve, right?¡± Penny said while tugging Jean¡¯s shirt sleeve. Jean instinctively wanted to say no. He never dined with strangers, and he hated people touching him. 62% Chapter 3 Are You Married? However, when he gazed into the girl¡¯s pure and innocent eyes, he could not bring himself to refuse her. 2/4 ¡°Sit down,¡± he said. ¡°Thank you, sir!¡± The triplets grinned brilliantly and sat down around the table. The waiter brought them the menu. Harvey was responsible for ordering food for his siblings. He understood what everyone liked to eat. The other two children stared straight at Jean. The more they looked at him, the more they were sure that the man was their father! He was so handsome, and he was willing to share a table with them! This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. We¡¯ve definitely found the right person! But¡­ Why does Daddy look at us like strangers? Jean noticed that the two children were staring at him. He nced at them and asked, ¡°Why do you keep staring at me?¡± The two children came to their senses. Penny grinned and said, ¡°Eh? No! I just think that you¡¯re very handsome! I¡¯ve never seen a man as handsome as you are.¡± ¡°Me too!¡± Sammy said in agreement. ¡°You¡¯re so handsome, sir. Do you have a girlfriend? Or are you already married with children?¡± Jean thought that it was very amusing. However, he did not show his amusement on his face. ¡°Why are you asking so many questions? I¡¯m not going to divulge my private life to strangers.¡± ¡°Now that we¡¯re sharing a table for a meal, we¡¯re no longer strangers!¡± Harvey said. He had finished ordering the food. His tone of voice was mature and confident, unlike any other child of his age. Huh, that¡¯s so uncanny! Why does that boy remind me so much of Mr. Beauvort when he was younger?n thought. Jean stared at Harvey for some time. He had never seen such a mature child before. However, he did not answer the question. Penny sighed and said, ¡°Can¡¯t you tell us? I was thinking of asking you to marry me when I grow up¡­ I don¡¯t think I can find another husband as handsome as you are!¡± Jean was at a loss for a reply. daughter. Why are you thinking of marriage at such a young age anyway?¡± ¡°Because he¡¯s so handsome!¡± Penny replied matter-of-factly. She continued, ¡°So are you married?¡± Jean felt slightly amused seeing how insistent the little girl was. He said, ¡°I¡¯m not married, and I don¡¯t have any children. My father has arranged a marriage for me though¡­¡± He did not tell Penny that it was a farce of a marriage. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 The triplets were shocked to hear that. Daddy has a fianc¨¦e! What about Mommy then? Penny pursued the topic. ¡°Is your fianc¨¦e pretty? Is she prettier than me? Do I stand a chance?¡± engaged to anyone, you still wouldn¡¯t stand a chance because the age difference is too big!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not big at all¡­¡± Penny said. Mommy is at most three years younger than him. The age difference isn¡¯t that big! Jean was amused. ¡°You¡¯re not very picky, are you?¡± Penny said, ¡°I¡¯m pretty picky. I don¡¯t like any man other than you!¡± Not only are you handsome, but you might also be my birth father! Nobody else can im that! Harvey and Sammy nodded and said in agreement, ¡°Yup, we¡¯re okay with that, if it¡¯s you we¡¯re talking about.¡± 0X 11:04 Sun, 6 Aug D Chapter 4 He Can¡¯t Run Away Jean had no retort to that. What¡¯s the problem with these children? It was the first time in Jean¡¯s employment that he saw him rendered speechless. Luckily for Jean, the waiter served food to the children at that moment. The exquisitely prepared food instantly attracted the attention of the triplets. Jean quickly shifted the conversation topic. ¡°Your food is here.¡± 62% The children picked up their cutlery and began to eat. They were not lying when they said they were hungry. Food is more important! In any case, this man isn¡¯t going to run away! Jean watched the three children eat and thought they were adorable. His cold Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. expression warmed up a little, and he seemed to have the appetite to eat more. About ten minutester, he put his knife and fork down. His face turned pale, and he began to furrow his brows. The observant Harvey noticed the change in Jean¡¯s expression. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, sir? 2/4 11:04 Sun, 6 Aug O Chapter 4 He Can¡¯t Run Away Yourplexion is pale.

Should I bring you to the hospital?¡±n said while taking his phone. Jean stopped him. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I guess my stomach is cramping because I ate lunchte¡­¡± Even though he said that, he did not look like he was fine at all. Penny shifted next to Jean and said, ¡°Let me take a look, sir.¡± She grabbed Jean¡¯s arm and ced three fingers on his wrist. Is she¡­ taking my pulse? Jean was surprised. For some time, he was at a loss for a reaction. After taking Jean¡¯s pulse, Penny rummaged through her sling bag and took a small box. She took a silver needle from the box and said to Jean, ¡°The needle is already sterilized. It might sting a little when I insert it, so you¡¯ll have to bear with it. Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t take long.¡± Before the adults could react, Penny plunged the needle into a certain point on Jean¡¯s arm. god! What did you just do? This isn¡¯t the time for you to pretend to be a doctor!¡± He thought that Penny was an undisciplined brat, and she had poked Jean with a needle without thinking of the consequences. Sire¡¯s constitution is weak! He probably can¡¯t stand the pain! Who¡¯s going to be responsible if something happens to him? I don¡¯t mind the children being naughty, but they shouldn¡¯t hurt anyone! He reached out and wanted to remove the needle from Jean¡¯s arm. However, a child¡¯s hand stopped him. ? That was Harvey. Harvey said sternly, ¡°Don¡¯t touch the needle!

His churning stomach gradually calmed down, and the pain slowly subsided. Ten minutester, he did not feel any more difort! Jean was truly surprised, and it showed on his face. ¡°I feel totally fine now,¡± he said. 11:05 Sun, 6 Aug.

You can treat various illnesses with acupuncture, and the spot my sister poked with a needle earlier is to treat illnesses rted to the stomach. That¡¯s just basic medical knowledge. Don¡¯t you know that, sir?¡± I¡­ I really didn¡¯t know! But that girl can¡¯t be older than five years old. Other children of her age would still be ying in sandboxes. Why is she already treating illnesses? Is she some sort of child prodigy? Harvey could guess what he was thinking. He added, ¡°My mother is a very skilled doctor specializing in acupuncture. My little sister learned many skills and techniques from her, and she knows how to treat simple illnesses. You shouldn¡¯t look down on her!¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t!¡±n blurted. In fact, he was thoroughly impressed with the three children! He said seriously to Penny, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my dear. I shouldn¡¯t have thought you were ying pretend and yelled at you.

The pain might 3/5 be gone for now, but you should take some gastric medication when you go home so it won¡¯t happen again.¡± ¡°Yes, little doctor. You¡¯re amazing!¡± Jean said. Penny could not help but grin smugly when Jean called her a little doctor. Her dimples were so adorable. Jean resisted the urge to pinch her soft cheeks. I wonder who their parents are. How did they raise three cute and intelligent children? At the same time, Neera was woken up by a phone call. She answered while still unconscious and heard her father¡¯s piercing voice. ¡°Neera, haven¡¯t you alreadynded? Why didn¡¯t youe home straight away? Are you expecting me to pick you up?¡± He sounded very displeased. Neera opened her eyes a little, though her tone of voice remained gruff. ¡°I¡¯m not in a hurry, so what¡¯s the rush? Are you so weighed down by your conscience after what you¡¯ve done to me, and you can¡¯t wait to give me what rightfully belongs to me?¡± She paused for a while before chuckling, ¡°Oh, right, someone like you won¡¯t have a conscience at all! You would¡¯ve given my shares to me six years ago if you had one!¡± 4/5 She was curious about what her father was nning. Even though she knew there most likely would be a trap, she still had to reim what her birth mother bequeathed her. She did not really care what the rest of the Garcia family thought of her anyway. Alfonso was enraged by Neera¡¯s words. ¡°What¡¯s with your attitude? Did your aunt teach you to speak like that to your father? Where are your manners?¡± Even though Neera was half asleep, she was as candid as ever. ¡°You¡¯re my father? Heh. I¡¯ve always been like this. I treat people the same way as they treat me. As for you, Mr. Garcia, you don¡¯t deserve the least bit of courtesy from me!¡± She ended the call before Alfonso could say anything. Meanwhile, at the Garcia family residence, Alfonso threw his phone to the wall angrily. Susan quickly picked up the phone and asked, ¡°What happened? Why are you angry all of a sudden? Where¡¯s Neera? Is she here yet?¡± Alfonso was scowling. ¡°I don¡¯t know where she is. How dare that girl talk back to me! She¡¯s so rude!¡± Roxanne was worried when she heard that. ¡°How can you not know where she is? When will she return? The Beauvort family is already urging for the marriage. I don¡¯t want to marry that guy! Father, you know that Zachary is the man I want to marry! We were about to get engaged, but the Beauvort family wants me to marry that sickly guy¡­ Who knows when he will die? I don¡¯t want to be a widow!¡± Seeing that his daughter was losing control over her emotions, Alfonsoforted her, ¡°I know, and I don¡¯t want you to suffer. That¡¯s why I asked Neera to return. She said she¡¯s in Kingsview now, and that only proves that she wants those shares. She¡¯ll have to listen to me if she wants those shares, and it¡¯s not up to her to decide whether to marry Mr. Beauvort or not!¡± Roxanne calmed down a bit and exchanged nces with Susan. They saw the greed in each other¡¯s eyes. The shares were worth a few million at most, but the gifts they would obtain from Neera¡¯s engagement to Jean Beauvort would be worth hundreds of millions. They did not mind sacrificing Neera so their family would prosper! Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Neera did not know what Alfonso was nning. After being woken up by the phone call, she no longer had the urge to sleep. She got out of bed and nned to take her children downstairs for dinner. She could not find the triplets anywhere in the suite. While she was wondering where they went, she heard the doorknob turn. The three children walked into the suite. Harvey noticed that his mother was standing next to the sofa looking at him. He jogged over to her and said, ¡°You¡¯re awake, Mommy. Did you sleep well?¡± Neera smiled and nodded. ¡°Mm, I slept very well, and it¡¯s all thanks to you! Where did you kids go though? Didn¡¯t I tell you not to wander around?¡± ¡°Mommy, I was hungry, so Harvey and Sammy brought me downstairs to eat!¡± Penny said. ¡°We also bought your favorite food for you!¡± Penny handed the take-out box to Neera. Inside the box was Neera¡¯s favorite seafood. She was instantly hungry after she looked at it. 11:05 Sun, 6 Aug D Chapter 6 Matching Daddy and Mommy 62% However, she still had to behave like a mother. ¡°I¡¯ll let it slide this time, but don¡¯t let me catch you wandering around again!

The triplets nodded and assured her, ¡°Yes, Mommy. We won¡¯t do that again!¡± They urged their mother to go to the bathroom to wash her face. Seeing that the triplets were well-behaved, Neera did not ask why. She went to the bathroom to wash her face before sitting down for dinner. The triplets watched her eat. Penny asked, ¡°Is it delicious?¡± Sammy diligently handed a crab leg to Neera. ¡°This tastes very good. You should try it, Mommy.¡± The two children had been very clingy, and Neera thought they wanted to eat some more. ¡°Why don¡¯t you sit next to me and eat with me?¡± 11:05 Sun, 6 Aug D.

Mommy has the second one! We have to make Mommy meet ¡°Daddy¡± tonight! Neera did not know that the triplets were setting her up. Later at night, she took a change of clothes and prepared to go to the spa. Before she left, she asked the triplets, ¡°Do you want toe along?¡± The triplets shook their heads. ¡°No, Mommy. We have a gaming session with our guild, and it¡¯s almost time. You should go and enjoy yourself. Don¡¯t worry about us!¡± They took out their phones and huddled together. Neera did not want to force them to 1. go. Soon, she arrived at the spa center and handed the receptionist her card. The receptionist brought her to a luxurious and spacious changing room. The changing room was equipped with a massage bed and an array of essential oils. ¡°The baths here are reserved for our most important guests. No one will be here to disturb you. After you¡¯ve taken your bath, you can go to the sauna next door but don¡¯t stay inside for too long. Your bathrobe and towel are avable in the cab over there. After you¡¯ve changed, you can ring the bell, and our professional masseuse wille in,¡± the worker exined. ¡°I see. Thank you,¡± Neera replied with a smile. The worker left the room. After the door closed, Neera looked around the changing room before taking off her clothes, wrapping her body with a towel, and going to the bathing area. In the bathing area, Jean soaked himself in a pool with his eyes closed. The warm waterforted him greatly. His body was shrouded in vapor, and his sculpted chest and abdomen were barely visible. His head was slightly lifted, which made his neck and corbones all the more enchanting. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Neera opened the door to the bathing area. She did not expect anyone else to be inside. Furthermore, Jean¡¯s half¨Csubmerged body was hidden behind a chair. When she stepped into the pool, the sound of sshing water alerted Jean. He opened his eyes warily¡­ The first thing he saw was a perfect pair of legs. He moved his gaze upward and saw a bodacious figure. The woman had a towel wrapped around her chest and private parts but baring her luscious thighs, slender neck, and delicate corbones. Above that was a face with exquisite features. By then, the woman also noticed him. Jean could see the shock in her eyes. ¡°Who are you?¡± Jean came to his senses and asked first. Only he had the right to enter this ce. There was no way the staff would let others in! Based on his previous experience, the sudden appearance of this woman could only 06 Sun, 6 Aug Chapter 7 Don¡¯t Be So Narcissistic mean two things. Either someone was setting him up, or the woman had malicious intentions! 62% 2/5 His eyes narrowed dangerously. ¡°¡­ Why are you here?¡± he asked. Neera was baffled by the question. ¡°I¡¯m here to take a bath, of course¡­ I could ask you the same! Why are you here?¡± The worker had told her that she would not be disturbed, so why was this guy here? Jean¡¯s tone of voice turned icy when Neera did not answer his question. ¡°This is my territory, so why do you think I¡¯m here? Who let you in?¡± Suddenly, he grasped Neera¡¯s wrist and asked, ¡°Speak! Why are you here?¡± Neera was shocked. She did not expect the man to get physical. Feeling the pain in her wrist, she answered annoyedly, ¡°What the heck is wrong with you? I only want to take a bath¡­ Let me go!¡± She tried to pull her hand away, but the man was much stronger than her. Jean did not believe it. ¡°Every woman who tried to seduce me said the same thing! I¡¯ve seen so many of them try their best, but you¡¯re the first one to enter my private territory! N?velDrama.Org owns all content. You¡¯d better be honest and own up, otherwise¡­¡± 11:06 Sun, 6 Aug . Chapter 7 Don¡¯t Be So Narcissistic He leaned in dangerously to Neera and tightened his grip on her wrist. Neera thought that her wrist was going to break. Watch it! Don¡¯t you know that my hands are priceless? 62% Neera was bing angry. She abruptly lifted her leg and attacked the spot between the man¡¯s legs with a swift kick. Jean did not expect the woman would attack her. He immediately released her wrist and dodged. Taking the opportunity, Neera stood up and moved backward to keep her distance from -him. Jean narrowed his gaze and tried to approach her again¡­ Neera was surprised. She took a step back, but her foot slipped, and she fell backward. ¡°Ahh!¡± she yelped and iled her arms as though trying to hold onto something. Jean reflexively reached out to grab her, but he only managed to hold on to a corner of her towel. In the next moment, Neera could feel her towel slipping away before she fell into the water¡­ 11:06 Sun, 6 Aug D Chapter 7 Don¡¯t Be So Narcissistic Ssh! Neera gulped a mouthful of water before she pushed herself up. 2.62% She could only remain in the water. There was not a single scrap of cloth to cover her body! She gritted her teeth and red at the man in front of her while trying her best to cover her private parts with her hands. ¡°Will you stop? I told you I¡¯m here to take a bath! 1 came in here because I shed the receptionist my Supreme VIP card! Why would you think that everyone is out to get you? Are you the president or some big shot? I know you¡¯re handsome, but that doesn¡¯t mean every woman would fall for you!¡± Jean thought the woman was only ying hard to get. He wanted to mock her, but he suddenly remembered that he had given the three adorable children a Supreme VIP card Now that he managed to take a closer look at the woman, he realized that she looked quite simr to the little girl. Jean tightened the grip on Neera¡¯s towel. He hesitated for a while before asking, ¡°Where¡­ did you get the Supreme VIP card?¡± ¡°My son gave it to me! Why, do you think I stole it from you?¡± Neera said mockingly. Suddenly, she realized something too. ¡°So¡­ are you the ¡®kind man¡® my daughter poked with a needle earlier in the afternoon?¡± ¡°¡­ That¡¯s me,¡± Jean said after a long pause. A hint of awkwardness appeared on his cold face. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Neera also realized that Jean had made a mistake. She said angrily, ¡°My daughter helped you, and this is how you treat her mother!¡± Jean felt embarrassed when he heard that. Indeed, he was the one who attacked her before clearing up the situation. He did not expect the children to give the Supreme VIP card to their mother after all. Thinking of how he had attacked the woman and even removed her towel, Jean was at a loss for what to do. At that moment,n knocked on the door. He had returned to the suite to take his employer¡¯s clothes, but he did not expect to hear amotion in the bathing area when he returned. He was afraid that his employer was in trouble, so he asked sternly, ¡°Are you okay, Sire? Did something happen? Do you need me to call reinforcements?¡± Before Jean could answer, Neera gasped in surprise. It¡¯s not enough that this guy saw my naked body. Does he intend to bring his friends here too? 1/5 11:06 Sun, 6 Aug . Chapter 8 When Can We Reunite N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. I still want my dignity! 62% She reflexively took a step back, crouched into the water, and shot a warning re at Jean. Jean pressed his lips together when he saw that. It was the first time someone had looked at him like that. Feeling amused, he replied ton, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Guard the door and don¡¯te in without my permission.¡± Neera breathed a sigh of relief, though she was still angry. ¡°Give me back my towel!¡± Jean threw the towel at her and turned his head away. 2/5 From the corner of his eye, he could not help but see the woman¡¯s long hair floating on the surface barely covering her body. Large patches of her skin were still visible. Jean was not going to take advantage of her. He said, ¡°I admit that I¡¯m at fault for what happened earlier, but you didn¡¯t knock the door and made sure no one was inside before you came in! That makes us even.¡± He stood up and stepped out of the pool. 11:06 Sun, 6 Aug Chapter 8 When Can We Reunite 1 With only a towel wrapped around his waist, his broad shoulders and lean abdomen were a seductivebination. Neera hastily wrapped her body with her towel, though she could not believe what she heard. 3/5 What do you mean, we¡¯re even? What about the part where you took my towel and saw my body? Neera was not going to let it slide. She wanted to argue with Jean, but he wore the bathrobe that was draped on the chair and left the bathing area. The door closed behind him, and Neera was left alone. What the heck is wrong with him? Neera thought angrily. She was not in the mood to rx anymore. Instead, after staying in the pool for a while to make sure that the people outside had already left, she exited the bathing area and changed her clothes. After that, she returned directly to the suite. The triplets were sitting in a row on the sofa, ying a video game. They were surprised to see their mother return so fast. ¡°Mommy? Are you already done?¡± 11:07 Sun, 6 Aug Chapter 8 When Can We Reunite ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about it!¡± Neera put her used clothes into theundry basket and said, ¡°I met an annoying guy inside! He¡¯s nothing but trouble!¡± The triplets were even more surprised when they heard that. Annoying guy? Is she talking about Daddy? Harvey asked, ¡°What did he do, Mommy?¡± Neera opened her mouth to exin, but she stopped when the words were at the tip of her tongue. The incident happened because her children had given her the Supreme VIP card. She knew that they meant her well, and she did not want them to me themselves if she Instead, she said, ¡°Never mind, what¡¯s done is done. It¡¯s the same if I take a shower in my room. We¡¯ll go to bed after that, alright?¡± The triplets replied in unison, ¡°Yes, Mommy.¡± They watched her as she went into the bathroom. As soon as the bathroom door closed, Sammy leaned close to the other two children and said softly, ¡°Sounds like Mommy argued with Daddy. Did our n fail?¡± 11:07 Sun, 6 Aug. Chapter 8 When Can We Reunite Harvey nodded. ¡°Looks like that¡¯s the case.¡± Penny was worried. ¡°That¡¯s a waste of a great opportunity. When can we reunite with Daddy?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no rush,¡± Harvey said as he patted his younger sister¡¯s head. ¡°I¡¯ll think of something.¡± Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Chapter 9 That night, Neera did not sleep well because of what happened at the baths. She looked lethargic by the next morning. 62% Harvey ordered room service for breakfast. He noticed that his mother was not feeling well, so he said, ¡°Mommy, you should nap a little more after breakfast. 1/7 ¡°You look tired. Were you workingtest night?¡± Sammy said, feeling very concerned. He wondered if his mother was overworking herself because he lied to her about running out of money. Penny offered, ¡°Do you want a massage?¡± Neera pinched the bridge of her nose to perk herself up and smiled at her children. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I probably didn¡¯t sleep well because I slept too much in the afternoon. I¡¯ll sleep earlier tonight, and I¡¯ll be fine. I¡¯m heading out for a bit after breakfast. Stay in the hotel and wait for me, okay?¡± The triplets nodded in unison. ¡°Are you going to the Garcia family residence?¡± Harvey asked as he handed his mother a ss of milk. Neera took the ss and drank a little before replying, ¡°Yes. I should get that settled as 11:08 Sun, 6 Aug D¡¤ Chapter 9 You Have to Marry soon as possible. There are many other more important things to do.¡± I Harvey nodded. ¡°Take care, Mommy. I¡¯ll keep an eye on Sammy and Penny.¡± Neera gently pinched Harvey¡¯s cheek and said, ¡°I¡¯ll leave them to you, big bro!¡± 62% 2/7 After breakfast, Neera took a cab to the Garcia family residence. The ride took her half an hour. When she got out of the cab and stood in front of the mansion, she could not help but recall what her father did to her six years ago. She remembered how helpless she felt when standing at the front gate, and how her birth father had not shown her any mercy. Now, she no longer possessed any feelings for the family. Only numbness was left. She rang the doorbell, and someone quickly came over to open the door. That was Richard, the family butler. He did not seem to recognize Neera. ¡°Good morning. You are¡­¡± Neera was willing to be courteous to him. ¡°I¡¯m Neera Garcia. I¡¯m here to look for Alfonso Garcia.¡± Chapter 9 You Have to Marry ¤· Richard seemed surprised to hear that. He quickly stepped aside and said, ¡°Please Neera nodded and stepped through the gate. As soon as she stepped into the living room, she saw Alfonso, Susan, and Roxanne. They were sitting on the sofa and chatting happily. Richard informed them of Neera¡¯s arrival, and they turned to look at her. They could not believe that the beautiful young woman standing in front of them was Neera. Is she¡­ really Neera? That¡¯s impossible! As far as they remembered, Neera was a slum girl without any sense of fashion. Her entire being exuded cheapness. 3/7 N?velDrama.Org owns all content. The young woman in front of them was dressed in an elegant and mature manner. Her exquisite facial features are extremely eye-catching. There was a hint of coldness in those animated eyes, and her luscious red lips were curled up in a mocking smirk. Her character exuded a certain untamed wildness. ¡°You are¡­ Neera!¡± Roxanne was the first toe to her senses. 11:08 Sun, 6 Aug D. Chapter 9 You Have to Marry Her mouth was wide open as though she could not believe Neera¡¯s transformation. Neera¡­ She can¡¯t be that beautiful! 62% 4/7 Susan and Alfonso were visibly surprised too. They did not say anything for a long time. Neera frowned, unhappy that her time was being wasted. She went straight to the point. ¡°You called me here to sign some papers, right? Where is it? I¡¯m very busy!¡± There was no warmth in her voice at all. Alfonso finally came to his senses. He frowned and said, ¡°What¡¯s the rush? We haven¡¯t met in so many years. Can¡¯t you greet your family first?¡± Neera chuckled as though she had heard a funny joke. ¡°Are we that close? I don¡¯t remember having a family here.¡± Alfonso¡¯s expression sank instantly. ¡°Neera, is that what you¡¯ve learned from your aunt? That¡¯s not how you should speak to your elders!¡± ¡°Yes! If you don¡¯t like it, shut up!¡± Neera said impatiently. ¡°Are we signing the papers or not?¡± Alfonso was furious. Susan tried to mediate. She patted Alfonso¡¯s back and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be mad at your Chapter 9 You Have to Marry daughter. If she wants to talk about serious business, let¡¯s do that¡­¡± She smiled pretentiously at Neera and said, ¡°Please have a seat, Neera.¡± ¡°Nah. Be quick, please. My time is very precious,¡± Neera said disdainfully, unwilling to show Susan any courtesy. The middle-aged woman might look kind and gentle, but she had a wicked heart. Six years ago, when Neera first returned to the Garcia household, she was dressed in cheap and old-fashioned clothes. Susan pretended to be kind and brought her to a shopping mall to buy new clothes. Neera had been grateful for Susan¡¯s gesture. She thought that Susan genuinely weed her return. It turned out not to be the case. The clothes that Susan bought for her were either tacky or a poor fit. Whenever she went out, peopleughed at her poor taste. It was only after being driven out of the Garcia household that Neera understood Susan¡¯s malicious intentions. 5/7 11:08 Sun, 6 Chapter 9 You Have to Marry That was why she could not hold back her disgust toward that woman. Susan was initially surprised by Neera¡¯s brusqueness, but she maintained her You¡¯re nothing but an outcast of the family! I¡¯m only putting up with you because I can take advantage of you! Alfonso snorted coldly and told Richard to retrieve the documents in the study. Richard quickly returned with the documents. 6/7 Alfonso took the documents and said, ¡°The shares are from your mother, but I¡¯ve been taking care of it on your behalf. I¡¯m willing to hand them to you, but you have to agree to a condition first!¡± Neera had already expected that things would not go so smoothly. She asked coldly, ¡°What is it?¡± Alfonso said, ¡°You have to be married. Six years ago, your promiscuity resulted in your wedding with Zachary being called off, and we suffered serious mary losses. You need to pay back what you cost us and agree to this marriage.¡± Neera chuckled audibly when she heard that. Her guess was correct. The shares were only an excuse to lure her back to the country so her parents could marry her off again. Knowing her parents¡¯ character, she did not expect too highly of her fianc¨¦-to-be. ¡°With who?¡± she asked. ¡°Jean Beauvort of the Beauvort family!¡± Alfonso said haughtily as though he was being generous. ¡°You¡¯re lucky to be able to marry into the most influential family of Kingsview.¡± Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Neera nearlyughed out loud when she heard that. What a coincidence! The Beauvort family contacted me yesterday to treat Jean Beauvort, and my ¡°kind father¡± now wants me to marry him. As far as I remember, Jean is very ill. He might already be one foot in the grave. If I marry him, I might as well call myself a widow! Neera¡¯s disdain for the Garcia family grew even stronger. They had mercilessly driven her out of the household six years ago. Now, they contacted her again just so that she could make more money for them. 1/5 Neera had already run out of patience. She nced at Alfonso mockingly and said, ¡°Do you really think I returned to Kingsview because I care about those measly shares? I wouldn¡¯t even bother stepping foot in this house if the shares are from my mother and my aunt needed my help! What makes you think I¡¯d let you control my life? The audacity!¡± She turned around and prepared to leave. 11:08 Sun, 6 Aug D Chapter 10 You¡¯re Not Worthy 62% 2/5 Alfonso, Susan, and Roxanne were dumbfounded. They did not expect Neera not to be tempted by the shares. ¡°Wait!¡± Alfonso yelled. ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want the shares? Don¡¯t you know how That¡¯s much they¡¯re worth? The dividends alone will earn you five million dors a year. enough for you to livefortably.¡± Neera stopped walking and sneered. ¡°You think you can control me with five million dors? Who do you think I am?¡± Roxanne could not hold back when she heard that. She said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t be too greedy, Neera! We¡¯re giving you five million dors a year, and you get to marry a wealthy man. What else do you want?¡± ¡°Five million dors is pocket change to me! Also, why do I have to listen to you and marry that guy? Just because we¡¯re rted by blood?¡± Neera turned around slowly, and her gaze swept over the three people. ¡°You don¡¯t deserve any of my time,¡± she said mockingly. After that, she left the front door as the family of three red at her. After leaving the Garcia family residence, Neera took her phone and called a cab. 11:09 Sun, 6 Aug Chapter 10 You¡¯re Not Worthy She could not wait to leave this darned ce! While waiting for the cab, she turned her head and saw Zachary looking at her! Zachary was here to pick up Roxanne to go to work. He was driving a brand-new Porsche and was dressed in a silver-gray suit. As he stepped out of his car, he noticed someone standing at the front gate. He nced at her, and his breath was taken away. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before! He realized he could not take his eyes away from her. Going up to Neera, he asked, ¡°Excuse me, miss, are you here to visit someone?¡± Neera nced at him and recognized he was her fianc¨¦ who had betrayed her. She did not show any expression on her face, though the feeling of disgust made her want to throw up. She ignored Zachary and continued to look at the position of her cab on her phone screen That only piqued Zachary¡¯s curiosity. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. 3/5 11:09 Sun, 6 Aug Chapter 10 You¡¯re Not Worthy She¡¯s so beautiful, any man would fall for her! Noticing that Neera was calling a cab, he said, ¡°Miss, where are you going? I can bring you there in my car.¡± Neera did not reply. She thought he was very annoying. Why isn¡¯t the cab here yet? She thought. Roxanne came out of the house. She walked up to Zachary happily and said, ¡°You¡¯re here, Zachary! Why didn¡¯t youe in? I¡¯ve been waiting for you?¡± She noticed Neera from the corner of her eye. ¡°Why are you still here, Neera?¡± she said unhappily. Zachary opened his eyes wide in disbelief when he heard that. ¡°What¡­ What did you call her? Did you say that she¡¯s¡­ Neera Garcia?¡± She¡¯s the utterly disgusting slum girl! That¡¯s impossible! Zachary tried his best to find any trace of the unremarkable young woman he once knew but failed. Neera¡¯s cab arrived. She quickly got inside and left. Never once did she look at Zachary! Zachary watched in a daze as the cab left. Roxanne felt incredibly jealous when she saw that. Neera, you b*tch! Why can¡¯t you stay ugly forever? Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Chapter 11 On the way back to the hotel, Neera made a call to her aunt Adriana, who was living abroad, and told her what happened at the Garcia family residence earlier. Adriana sounded disappointed after she heard that. ¡°I knew he must be nning something when he asked you to return to Kingsview, but I didn¡¯t expect it¡¯d be like that¡­ He never considers your happiness at all!¡± Neera was not as disappointed. She did not bear any hope for her father to care for her anyway. If he had, he would not have kicked her out of the house and cut off all contact for six years. He would have probably forgotten about her if not that she could bring him some financial benefit! Despite her derision toward her father, Neera remained calm. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Aunt Adriana. I¡¯m not going to agree to the marriage¡­ I¡¯ll find some other way to reim my mother¡¯s shares for me. No one can im what rightfully belongs to me.¡± ¡°Mm, I believe in you,¡± Adriana said. She felt sorry for Neera. Her elder brother Alfonso had been cruel to the poor girl. 11:09 Sun, 6 Aug Chapter 11 They Will Have a Daddy 2/5 Neera would have suffered, but she was highly ambitious and made a name for herself. As much as Adriana was indignant, there was no point in mentioning things that happened in the past. That would only make Neera sad. Adriana changed the topic and said, ¡°Are you used to life back at Kingsview? Have you found a ce to stay? How are the triplets?¡± Neera smiled and said, ¡°Everything¡¯s okay so far. We¡¯re still staying in a hotel because our funds are frozen for now. I can¡¯t buy a house yet, but I should go and find a rental property in a couple of days. As for the triplets, they¡¯re always thinking of where to visit next. I think they¡¯re more like tourists than anything else.¡± Adriana smiled. ¡°You¡¯ve only been gone for two days, but I miss them already. I¡¯ll help you solve your house problem. I have a friend who¡¯s migrating overseas, and she wants to sell a mansion. The location is ideal, and the furniture is all brand¨Cnew. You can move there for now and only pay after you have the funds.¡± Neera wanted to decline her aunt¡¯s request because she did not want to trouble her, but after considering the appointment with the Beauvort family, she agreed to it instead. She was thinking of declining the appointment. It was not because she did not have a good impression of the Beauvort family but because she did not want the Garcia family to be involved. She nodded and said, ¡°Thank you, Aunt Adriana.¡± AV Sun, 6 Chapter 11 They Will Have a Daddy ¡°I never knew you can be so polite!¡± Adriana joked. Neera smiled warmly. They chatted for a while before ending the call. 62 As soon as the call ended, Adriana sent a message to Harvey. ¡°Harvey! I¡¯ve already done what you asked me to do. I¡¯ve paid for the house at No. 2, Imperial Gardens, you wanted in full. But why are you hiding this from your mother? What are you three nning this time?¡± Harvey grinned happily when he saw the message. He replied, ¡°Nothing. I only want to give Mommy a surprise. Thanks for your help, Grand¨CAunt Adriana! You must keep this a secret, okay?¡± N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Adriana was not going to say no to Harvey. There was a reason why Harvey wanted that house. It was because¡­ Jean lived at No. 1, Imperial Gardens! That was next door to their future house! Of course, Neera did not know all that. As soon as she returned to the hotel, she told Sammy, ¡°Help me cancel the appointment with the Beauvort family.¡± 3/5 11:09 Sun, 6 Aug Chapter 11 They Will Have a Daddy The triplets were shocked to hear that! 3 4/5 Harvey managed to maintain his cool. He asked, ¡°Why, Mommy? Is there a problem with the appointment?¡± ¡°No¡­ I have my reasons to cancel it. The Beauvort family should look for someone else to solve their problem. I¡¯m sure they¡¯re rich enough to do that.¡± Sammy did not agree. He tried to convince her, ¡°You should really reconsider your decision, Mommy. Are you sure you don¡¯t want 50 million dors? Also, they won¡¯t have a good impression of us if we cancel the appointment now.¡± Penny also tried to convince Neera. ¡°Yeah, Mommy. It¡¯s not good to go back against your word. I¡¯ve heard that the patient is in a really critical condition, and they must¡¯ve exhausted their options before they found you. Aren¡¯t you oath¨Cbound to save people?¡± Neera felt a little guilty. She knew it was not very professional of her to cancel the appointment now, but she was thoroughly repulsed by what the Garcia family was nning. Nothing good woulde out of it if she continued to be involved. She insisted on her decision. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, babies. I have my reasons for canceling this appointment. I¡¯ll think of some other way to make money, okay? Also¡­ I¡¯ll be going to work in Aunt Adriana¡¯s research lab after this, and I won¡¯t have time for anything else.¡± The triplets did not know what to do, seeing that their mother had already made up her mind. Harvey was the one to speak first. ¡°Alright, then. If that¡¯s what you¡¯ve decided, we¡¯ll listen to you.¡± After all, they were about to be neighbors with ¡°Daddy¡± soon! There would be opportunities for Neera to treat Jean, and after that, reuniting with the father would not be a dream! Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Neera breathed a sigh of relief. Her children did not argue with her. ¡°Well then, we¡¯ll pack up and check out soon. Grand¨CAunt Adriana has found a new house for us, and we¡¯ll move there today.¡± ¡°Yes, Mommy.¡± The triplets replied and went to pack their suitcases. They were done an hourter. Neera brought them and left the suite. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they sawning out from the suite next door. The triplets waved at him. ¡°Good morning, Mr. Assistant. We meet again!¡± stopped and turned around. ¡°It¡¯s you three! Good morning!¡± he said hastily. Harvey noticed thatn seemed distraught. He asked, ¡°Mr. Assistant, are you rushing somewhere?

Do you need a doctor?¡± He was not supposed to tell outsiders about his employer¡¯s whereabouts and condition, but when he saw how worried the three children were, he hesitated and decided to tell them the truth. ¡°He has a fever. The doctors are on their way here. I¡¯m going to meet them downstairs.¡± Neera silently observed the entire conversation. She could roughly guess who ¡°Mr. Handsome¡± was. She did not want to interfere. After all, they had an awkward exchange at the bathsst night. Also, a fever did not sound too serious. However, her children threw her under the bus. ¡°Mr. Assistant, why don¡¯t you let our mommy take a look at him? She¡¯s a doctor too!¡± ¡°Yes!

However, he considered that the little girl managed to treat Jean¡¯s stomach problems at lunchtime yesterday, and that Jean¡¯s condition was truly dire. He could only agree to it. ¡°Thank you so much, Doctor. You don¡¯t have to force yourself if it¡¯s too difficult.¡± Neera nodded and followedn to the suite next door. Jean was lying on the bed with his eyes tightly shut. His face was an unnatural shade of red, and he looked very weak. The triplets were very worried for him.
