The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1249

“The other families who had used firearms against the Gordon family were also punished by a neutral party, and their influence is no longer as strong as before.”

Upon hearing that, Chad’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Did the neutral party make the judgment, or was it a request from Lordsworth Estate?”

Avery shook his head. “I’m not quite sure about that. Although the Jennings family was at fault, Stella has already lost her life, and the Jennings family has been expelled from the Bartitsu Guild. Actually, it didn’t have to come to this. It must have been requested by Lordsworth Estate. After all, Judgement Island is a neutral territory, and those imprisoned there are wicked and evil. The Jennings family hasn’t gone that far.”

Chad chuckled lightly. “To have persuaded even the neutral faction, Lordsworth Estate really surprises me. Could it be that the lord is clearing all obstacles for Neera out of gratitude toward her?”

Avery thought the same, but nothing was certain at the moment, so it was hard to say.

“Mr. Gordon, all of these matters have already been settled, so there’s really nothing to worry about. It’s just…”

Chad knew what he wanted to say and immediately nodded in agreement.

not just the eight elders, but also other families who are probably watching us closely. Being an outsider who has become district president after making her first appearance, Neera has attracted the jealousy of many families. Now, aiming for a seat as an elder in the Bartitsu Guild will attract even more attention. They definitely won’t want to see this happen, and who knows what they might do to bring down the Gordon family. That said, you should rest assured that I’ll
