The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Adriana was preoccupied with Chad in her mind, which affected her appetite. After a few bites, she found herself unable to eat any more.

The vast mansion suddenly became eerily empty.

Neera had a vague sense of unease.

As the night deepened, she found herself unable to find peace for a long time.

When Avery’s call came through, she had just reminded Zephyr again, instructing the subordinates to be on guard at all times.

“Neera, I heard something happened at your end. What’s going on? Was it Bartitsu Guild’s doing?” On the phone, Avery’s voice was anxious and full of worry.

Neera responded with a hum and said, “Yes, but we don’t have any evidence. The situation in those districts is chaotic right now. The Gordon family has already sent people to handle it.”

Upon hearing those words, Avery furrowed his brows tightly. His eyes held a mix of anger and regret. “I’m sorry. I’ve dragged you into this.”

“It’s not your fault.” Neera sat at the head of the bed while hugging her knees. No lights were on. Only the faintly cool moonlight streamed through the window, casting a serene chill throughout the room. “Even without the Cox family, the Gordon family has long been a thorn in the side of Bartitsu Guild. From the moment I took the seat as the district president, Bartitsu Guild must have started plotting. This day would come sooner or later, regardless of whether the Cox family left Bartitsu Guild. The Gordon family would eventually face this calamity.”

Even so, Avery still felt deeply sorry in his heart. “You’ve sent people out, so who’s left in the Gordon residence now?” he asked.

“It’s just me and my aunt.” Neera sighed. “There’s no other way. This matter is too significant. I can’t rest easy without sending someone trustworthy. It has to be this way.”

Upon hearing that, Avery furrowed his brows even tighter. “In that case, there will be no one left at the Gordon residence. That’s too risky.”

As he spoke, he became restless and could no longer sit still. “No. I’m coming over right now.”
