The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1410

Neera nodded. “Yes, that’s my suspicion. However, I can’t make a definitive conclusion based solely on today’s encounter. I just find it suspicious, that’s all.”

Jean gave a hum of acknowledgment. Pulling her into his embrace, he patiently analyzed the situation for her.

“Indeed, there’s a real possibility of it. I’ve heard that the relationship between Albert and Avery has always been strained. However, due to Avery’s status as the head of the family, they’ve had to tolerate each other. So, it’s not a surprise if there are any underhanded schemes going on behind the scenes.”

At that moment, Neera thought of another possibility. “What if they didn’t just join forces now, have been in cahoots all along?”

Jean looked at her thoughtfully. “Are you suspecting that he is responsible for the death of Avery’s parents years ago?”

The thought was so audacious and terrifying that Neera couldn’t help but shiver all over.

She swallowed, speaking softly. “It’s not entirely impossible, right? The Cox family is powerful and vigilant. Also, Avery’s parents are not careless people, yet they didn’t even know they were cursed. Even when they fell ill, they never suspected anything. This means we can rule out external factors causing their health to deteriorate. So, the only ones who could have done this is someone within the family, isn’t that right?”

With a slight squint in his eyes, Jean responded softly, “Hmm, indeed.”

Neera continued rambling on. “Although I don’t know if Avery’s parents ever suspected anyone in their household back then, it’s clear that the most likely suspects would be those within the family. They were able to poison the two of them without anyone noticing. If it were outsiders, Avery’s parents would have surely been on guard. Thus, the close relationship between Albert and the people from Bartitsu Guild under these circumstances is clearly abnormal.”
