The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 203 Mr Beauvort’s Protection
Jean found the scenario oddly familiar as he listened in on the explanation.
Neera also froze in contemplation. She couldn’t help but turn her head to shoot him a glance.
There were distinct angles to his face. He had a fair and clear complexion, deep-set eyes, well-defined features, and a handsome yet devilish charm. There was something morbid about him because of his frailty.
She took a closer look and found that… he did indeed resemble a pretty boy!
Her confusion was finally lifted when combined with the rumors that Wrenn had heard. She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Wrenn grew even angrier and glared at her. “You’re still laughing?!”

Jean finally concluded. He couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of his nose. “You’ve misunderstood Neera, Mom. It was I who accompanied her during those occasions. As for the rumors about her being financially supported by a sugar daddy… That’s complete nonsense. She’s a doctor who’s capable and skilled. She doesn’t need to be supported by anyone!”
Both Frederic and Wrenn were dumbfounded by the explanation.
“Do you mean that?” Wrenn’s tone was no longer as pointed as when she had first arrived. She sounded more subdued yet doubtful.
Jean nodded. “Of course, I do. If you don’t believe me, you can go ahead and ask lan. If that’s not enough, you can review the surveillance footage. Both the club and Susie’s Cakes are businesses under my name. The rumors are completely made up. There’s no so-called ‘pretty boy”.
Upon hearing that Susie’s Cakes was under his ownership, Neera’s eyebrows twitched.
So, this guy was the owner… She had gone to his shop to buy pastries for him. She suddenly found the situation humorous.
Wrenn, meanwhile, felt embarrassed.
She had rushed over without clarifying the situation and indiscriminately yelled at Neera in such a severe manner. Her words were harsh too.
She had refused to believe Neera when she tried to explain. In the end, it came to light that she had believed baseless rumors and misunderstood her daughter-in-law!
Wrenn wasn’t an unreasonable person. She knew that she had made a mistake but she was a prideful woman. Apologizing to a younger girl was something she couldn’t bring herself to do.
She looked to be in discomfort for a time. Her gaze was darting around with no place to rest her eyes.
In the end, it was Frederic who stepped in to smooth things over with his wife. “These rumors about you are indeed hurtful, Neera. Wrenn was just worried for Jean. That’s why she got so fired up. When people are upset, they tend to speak without thinking. It’s not that she meant to insult you. Please don’t take it to heart…”
