Chapter 446 A Pledge of Marriage
The voice carried a hint of pretentious warmth.
Neera instantly recognized the voice.
Turning her gaze, she found Roxanne standing by the street, her face illuminated with a seemingly genuine
smile.
Adriana’s lips pressed together in displeasure. Her expression had turned cold. She asked, “Why are you here?”
Seemingly oblivious to Adriana’s annoyance, Roxanne answered with a smile, “I’m worried that you might have trouble getting home, so I’m here to pick you up.”
With an icy tone, Adriana responded, “Oh! How thoughtful of you.”
Roxanne continued to wear a sweet smile on her face. She said, “It’s the least I can do.”
Neera observed from a distance that a feeling of disgust swept over her.
Roxanne always attempted to flatter and win favor, but whatever schemes she was plotting were far too obvious.
Yet her words reminded Neera of something.
Gently addressing Adriana, she said, “You’ve been back for some time and must be finding it hard without your own transportation. I asked Katy a few days ago to choose a car for you. It’ll be here by tomorrow morning, and I’ll come get you with that car.”

Adriana’s demeanor instantly softened, and she replied with genuine warmth, “Thank you, Neera. You’re always thoughtful and considerate.”
Roxanne’s heart twisted with envy when she watched their exchange.
Both of us are her nieces, but why did Neera share such an intimate bond with Aunt Adriana while I always felt sidelined? She hid her resentment well, knowing the importance of keeping ties with the ANXIN Group for her family’s sake.
With that in mind, she ground her teeth to suppress her feelings.
She continued to flatter, saying, “Let’s go home. We’ve prepared dinner for you. You’ve had a long day. You should go home and get some rest.”

Neera ignored her. She said her goodbyes to Adriana and left.
Throughout, she treated Roxanne as if she were invisible.
On her way home, Neera bought two boxes of pastries and had them nicely wrapped.
When she arrived home, the children were still awake and excited.
“Mommy, we saw the news online! Congratulations on your success! You’re the best!”
Neera was amused; she said warmly, “Thank you, my darlings.”
“Ms. Garcia, welcome home,” Auntie Zuniga said, pausing her chores.
“You haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ve kept some food for you. Wash up and have your meal.”
“Alright,” Neera nodded.
After dinner, Neera grabbed the pastries she had placed on the cabinet.
She called the triplets over and said, “I need to visit Uncle Jean next door. If you guys are sleepy, go to bed
now.”
The triplets were puzzled when they saw the boxes of pastries in her hand.
“It’s late. Uncle Jean couldn’t eat these, right?”
Neera explained, “He can eat them tomorrow. He offered me great help and enabled our company to get out of this.”
Understanding the situation, the kids eagerly raised their hands and wanted to go with her.
Neera didn’t mind.
