The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1162 Find Out Who Did It

At that moment, Baxter sneered sarcastically, “What’s there to be scared of? As the head of the Gordon family, if you don’t even have this much courage, make a fuss over every little thing, and lack the ability to solve problems, then you

shouldn’t be the head of the family! In my opinion, it’s because someone is overestimating their abilities that we’ve ended up in this mess!”

He spoke with veiled threats, not explicitly pointing out, but it was clear as day who he was referring to.

Shane’s and Avery’s expressions turned sour, their eyes cold.

Just as Avery was about to chime in, Neera beat him to it with a retort.

“An attack is always sudden. Who could’ve predicted it? Moreover, this is a crime. Instead of blaming the ambushers, you’re blaming the victims, Mr. Baxter. What kind of logic is that? If someone wants to kill you, would you blame the perpetrator, or would you blame yourself for being incapable?”

“You-” Baxter didn’t expect her to be so sharp-tongued, his anger causing his eyes to narrow. He then scolded her, “I am an elder, and you are being disrespectful to me. This is a great insolence!”

mistaken, in the Gordon family, the head of the family holds the highest authority. Regardless of one’s seniority or experience, no one is allowed to disrespect the head of the family. This is the rule. Mr. Baxter, I’m new here, and out of respect for your age, I addressed you politely. However, this doesn’t mean you can boss me around. Having spent so many years in the Gordon family, as one of its elders, you should understand this principle. I shouldn’t need to remind you, should
