The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1412

When Neera was finalizing the design draft, a call came in from Avery.

“Sorry, did I disturb you?” he asked.

Neera hadn’t been in touch with him for a while and was quite curious about his situation over there. Upon hearing that, she set aside the work in her hands. “No, how are things on your end? Is Lordsworth Estate treating the Cox family well? Are you able to fit in?”

“Mmm, everything’s pretty good.” It had been a long time since he had heard her voice. Avery’s longing overflowed, and his anxious heart calmed down.

He smiled as he softly explained the situation to her. “In any case, rest assured, everything is normal with the Cox family. Lordsworth Estate has been taking good care of them, and no other forces in District Ten have interfered with the Cox family. At least for now, everything seems harmonious. How about your side? I saw some comments online today. They were released by Matthew, weren’t they? He’s trying to pressure you into submission, right?”

That was as clear as day. Anyone who knew the inside story could see it.

Neera gave

a nonchalant “Mhm,” not particularly concerned. “Let him fuss all he wants. I’m just buying time anyway. Once he reveals his true colors, it will be easier for the Gordon family to play the part of the victim forced to leave.”

Avery understood, then asked with confusion, “By the way, what did you mean when you told me to be careful of Albert? I’ve been a bit busy lately and couldn’t reply to your message in time.”

Speaking of that, Neera recounted her previous encounter with Albert at Bartitsu Guild.

“Quincy and the Cox family have always been on good terms. Albert’s constant disapproval of my coming to Lordsworth Estate is probably because he wants to put in a good word for Quincy. There’s no need

However, I don’t play by the usual rules when it comes to my family, especially my Neera. Also, I don’t believe my words are disrespectful or upsetting. So, Mr. Cox, your reaction seems a bit excessive. Since you’ve finished discussing the important matters, I won’t waste any more of your precious time.
