The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Seeing that things were going awry, Rio became somewhat irate. Disregarding Neera’s presence, he raised his voice and began to scold Albert.

“Albert, are you done? Are you not satisfied with how appalling your daughter’s behavior has been? Ms. Garcia didn’t come here to point fingers, so stop judging her with your petty mindset! Upon hearing that something happened to the Cox family, Ms. Garcia specifically came over to check on the situation and offer help!”

After hearing everything, Albert scoffed in disbelief. He didn’t believe it at all.

“Offering help? Ha, I bet you’re just here to enjoy the spectacle of our misfortune. Spare me your crocodile tears!”

“You-” Rio was so furious he could barely breathe, wishing he could knock Albert out with a single blow.

At that moment, Neera raised her hand, signaling him not to worry.

Afterward, she narrowed her eyes, her expression thoughtful.

“Mr. Albert, I truly don’t understand. How have I offended you? From the very beginning, you’ve been particularly hostile to me. Even now, it’s the same. I’m genuinely curious. Are you challenging me, or are you challenging your own head of the family?”

Albert furrowed his brows. “What nonsense are you spouting!”

Neera chuckled softly. “Am I talking nonsense? After all, I am a member of the Gordon family, the head, to be exact. As I’m a friend of Mr. Cox, you, as an elder of the Cox family, should be treating me with respect. Even if you are dissatisfied or look down on me, you should not show it. After all, the Cox family and the Gordon family are on good terms. Yet, you repeatedly show ill will. Your daughter did such a horrible thing, and not only did you not apologize, but you also side with her and continue to spout unreasonable words. I find it very puzzling. Are you -doing this on purpose? Perhaps as an act of slapping Mr. Cox in the face? Or maybe it’s to worsen the relationship
