Chapter 1302

No sooner had lan stepped out than Neera walked in, her face a little pale and appearing anxious.

At a glance, Jean guessed that she had heard the rumors.

Sure enough, when Neera opened her mouth, it was to say, “The Cox family is in trouble.”

Jean nodded. “I know. Ian just mentioned it.”

He rose to his feet, circled around to the front of the desk, and stood face-to-face with her at close quarters.

“Are you worried?” he asked.

Neera nodded slightly, not wanting to hide anything from him, and honestly expressed her thoughts.

“I am a bit worried. After all, Mr. Cox is not with the Cox family now, and just dealing with the Jagger family’s affairs has already left him overwhelmed. The Cox family is now in such a big mess. If he finds out, I’m afraid it will only make him more upset. The Cox family is currently besieged with internal and external troubles. They have helped me before, so I…”

Jean held her hand, his warm and dry palm enveloping her delicate fingers.

“I understand you want to help the Cox family, and I’m not saying no. However, this matter is a lot more complicated than it seems and has a huge impact. Privately having firearms is a grave crime. If it’s proven to be true, the Cox family will certainly not be able to protect themselves. If you get involved, even the Gordon family might be implicated.”

“I understand,” Neera said, her head bowed low as she spoke in a subdued tone. “I know that I’m not just representing myself now but the entire Gordon family. However, the Gordon family has always been on good terms with the Cox family. When the Gordons faced difficulties in the past, the Cox family, didn’t just stand by and watch. Now that the Cox family is in trouble, we can’t just stand aside, can we? Besides, when the Cox family went to Adieu Island, the Gordon family also sent people along. It’s impossible to disassociate ourselves now.”

It was clear that she had made up her mind to help to the end, and naturally, Jean wouldn’t say anything more.
