The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 526

Jean remained silent throughout the whole ordeal.
Under the gaze of the elderly couple, he had no intention of adding to the conversation. If it hadn’t been confirmed that Neera was indeed Nancy, who knows how she might have been further interrogated? Moreover, he could sense the evident displeasure in Neera’s tone.
Given the circumstances, why would he want to exacerbate the situation?
With this in mind, he sat composedly, saying not a word.
The two elders exchanged a look, both feeling somewhat at a loss.
Eventually, Wrenn bit her lip and reluctantly said, “No.”
Neera’s demeanor was cool as she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
“Since that’s settled, then let’s leave it at that.”
As she spoke, she hesitated, as if remembering something, and paused in her tracks.
Standing before the elderly couple, she lowered her gaze expressionlessly, her eyes cold.
“Furthermore, Mr. Frederic, Madam Beauvort, in the future, if you have any matters to discuss, feel free to come to me directly. Isabella has a lot on her plate with the hospital’s affairs, and her time is limited. It would be best not to distract her with these matters.”
Her words were polite, providing the Beauvorts with a face-saving way out.
However, the underlying message was clear. They were not to bother her friends anymore!

Having said her piece, she swept a glance at Wrenn’s displeased face and departed.
Out of consideration for Jean, she had shown respect to the elderly couple. But if they crossed her boundaries, she wouldn’t tolerate it, regardless of who they were.
After her departure, Jean also rose from his seat.
“I have matters to attend to at my company, so I’ll be leaving.”
His disinterest was evident, and his words were perfunctory as he made his way towards the exit.
Wrenn was anxious to detain him, but Frederic pressed his hand down firmly, giving her a stern look.
Kyra’s gaze remained fixed on Jean’s retreating figure, her eyes brimming with discontent.
As Jean and Neera left the hospital together, they continued until they reached the parking lot, where he halted her.
“Why the hurry? Is there a flood or a beast chasing you?”
His grip on her was gentle yet firm, and his voice was low and deep.
Neera couldn’t pull her hand away and frowned slightly. Her tone remained cold, “Is there something you
need?”
They sat side by side in the backseat, and Jean wasted no time getting to the point.
“Did my parents approach you before?”
After the scene they had just witnessed, he could easily guess.
Neera knew she couldn’t hide it from him and nodded in confirmation.
Jean fell silent for a moment, a hint of regret appearing in his expression.
“I’m sorry, it’s my oversight. I didn’t anticipate they would take action behind my back.”
Then, he looked deeply into her eyes and asked, “But why didn’t you tell me?”
Neera kept her eyes lowered and couldn’t discern her emotions. “I could handle it.”
Jean, however, was concerned about something else.
“But you were still wronged, weren’t you?”
Unprepared for his sudden question, Neera was taken aback.
