The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Upon returning home, both Chad and Adriana were present. Jean was helping the three little ones practice their writing, and Shane happened to come downstairs.

When she entered, everyone turned to look at her.

“How did it go? Did the guild give you any trouble?” Shane was the first to ask.

Neera nodded and walked over to sit down. Finally able to relax, she let out a deep sigh of relief. “I knew the guild wouldn’t let me join the Council of Elders so easily. What I didn’t expect was that they would even coyet the position of district president.”

Chad furrowed his brow upon hearing that. “What do you mean? Are they trying to seize control of the district leadership?”

“Well, Mr. Lozano didn’t say anything, but the elders were all riled up. They think the Gordon family doesn’t deserve to be a district president, let alone join the Council of Elders. They don’t want me to join them, and they want me to obediently hand over control as the district president. They even mentioned something about compensating the Gordon family. Their behavior was extremely unseemly and unheard of.”

Shane scoffed, “As expected, this is what they’re trying to do. They don’t have the ability to seize the white flag themselves, but they sure know how to use the Gordon family as their scapegoat,”

Adriana was deeply worried. “So what was the outcome? They didn’t do anything to you, did they?”

Neera smiled reassuringly, comforting her. “Aunt Adriana, don’t worry. I’m doing just fine. After all, I am the head of the Gordon family, not someone who can be easily bullied. Even if they don’t respect the Gordon family, they still have to respect the lord. Although I don’t know who exactly the lord is, I did save his life. They probably didn’t push too hard because of this. Besides, the guild has to show Mr. Cox some respect too.”

“Avery spoke up for you?” Jean asked, raising an eyebrow.
