The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1457

Many people had this speculation, but due to the lack of solid evidence, it quickly faded into oblivion.

Upon hearing the news, Jean’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. Everything was within his expectations.

After waiting for a moment and seeing that Jean had not responded, Ian took the initiative to ask, “Mr. Beauvort, what should we do next?”

Jean finally spoke in a nonchalant yet questioning tone. “Did we capture anyone alive?”

“We managed to catch a few in the chaos, but they killed themselves by swallowing a poison pill carried in their mouths, probably under orders from Bartitsu Guild. Luckily, our men reacted quickly and stopped one from doing so. So, he’s all that we have now.”

A cold expression descended upon Jean’s face, his entire being emanating a chilling aura.

“One is enough,” he said. “Don’t worry about what’s happening with Bartitsu Guild. Let them do as they please. You should focus on helping the Gordon family with their preparations.”

As to what that ‘preparation’ was, Ian understood immediately. He nodded in acknowledgment and went off to get to work.

Before he left, he turned around and saw Shane rushing over. He greeted him, “Mr. Gordon.”

Shane gave him a slight nod, then shifted his gaze toward Jean.

“I rushed over as soon as I heard from Uncle Chad that she has woken up.”

Ever since he returned, he had been constantly occupied with the affairs of the Gordon family. He was so busy that he didn’t even have time to rest.

Having pulled an all-nighter, he now had dark circles under his eyes. A light stubble had sprouted on his chin, and his clothes were somewhat crumpled, making him look quite disheveled.

In truth, Jean’s condition wasn’t really much better than his.

However, not wanting Neera to worry when she woke up, he tidied himself up and changed his clothes. So now, he looked somewhat refreshed.

“Your timing is unfortunate. She woke up for a while but is still weak and has fallen asleep again.”

Peering through the glass door into the ward, Shane couldn’t quite make out the person on the bed.

“May I go in and see her? I’ll be quiet. I won’t wake her up.”

Jean nodded slightly, entering with him.
