The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1441

“Do you want to know what this is?” She squinted her eyes, waving the pill in her hand triumphantly at Neera.

Neera’s feelings of uneasiness intensified and gripped her heart with such anxiety that she even forgot to tremble. “W-What exactly do you want to do?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, her lips quivering slightly.

Phoebe’s eyes lit up when she heard her voice, and she laughed heartily as she said, “It hasn’t been easy, has it? You’ve finally decided to speak up, huh? It seems like you’ve figured something out, haven’t you? Well? Are you scared now?”

Neera gritted her teeth and said nothing in response.

Phoebe didn’t mind, though. Suddenly focusing on the small pill in her hand, she started recalling something at a leisurely pace.

“Once, I wanted to give this pill to my cousin, but I failed. It was almost impossible for me to get close to him. He was always so cold and never really looked at me. Even though I am his cousin, I never received any special treatment because of our relationship. But I don’t care about that at all. In fact, I even despise being his cousin. Why? Why did my foster father adopt me as his daughter? Why didn’t he just keep me by his side and nurture me? I wouldn’t mind even if I was just his subordinate or his servant! I’d have stood a much better chance with those options than being cousins.”

Neera pursed her lips after hearing Phoebe’s sudden confession. Seizing the moment of her inner turmoil, she said, “Perhaps, you and Mr. Cox simply aren’t destined to bet together. Being able to become the daughter of the Cox family is a good thing in itself. Given Mr. Cox’s temperament, there might not have been any interaction between you two if you had become a servant or a subordinate instead.”

Phoebe suddenly sneered, the look in her eyes turning ominous as she said, “What do you know? You’ve never truly understood him! I do, though! I’ve been brought up in the Cox family since I was a child, so I’ve been watching him every minute and every second. I dare say, there’s no one in this world who understands him better than I do! He may seem cold on the surface, but he’s a man who, once truly in love, would willingly give everything for it. He’s so wonderful, so why can’t he be mine?”

Neera took a deep breath and glanced at the pill. Her heart pounded fiercely, her mouth was dry, and her tongue was parched. All her attention was focused here, to the point where she couldn’t even feel the chill running through her body.
