The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1413

As the two of them walked downstairs hand in hand, Jean was still thinking to himself. It seems I have indeed become a bit more thoughtful recently. If it were in the past, I would never have cared about a single word of what the outside world said. However, ever since I met this woman, everything has changed. I began to care, and anything related to her, I would take to heart. Hah… The more I live, the more I seem to be going back. However, this feeling is quite nice, as if all the emotions and desires I once lacked have now appeared in my life.

He assumed that by then, Chad and Adriana would have already sat down for dinner. However, to his surprise, when he went downstairs, he found them still sitting in the living room.

Baxter had a stern look on his face, and his two sons, Troy and Ollie, also appeared with aggressive demeanors.

Bartitsu Guild. If the Gordon family hadn’t helped the Cox family, we wouldn’t have been despised by the other families, let alone become enemies with Bartitsu Guild. Ever since the new head of the Gordon family took office, we’ve been in danger,

Neera scoffed coldly, showing no sign of cowardice. She stepped forward and retorted without any courtesy. “Are you implying that I’ve harmed the Gordon family?

Has my presence led to the decline or rise of the Gordon family? “You’ve lived for quite a long time. Surely you can’t be blind to such obvious facts? If you can see them and still speak this way, may I interpret it as you being unable to achieve something yourself, and thus, out of jealousy, you’re trying to bring me down? Unfortunately for you, I’ve never been one to fear criticism. I’ll shoulder what’s mine to bear, but if it’s not my fault, and you’re still trying to pin the blame on me, I
