The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1405

Neera listened to him quietly, her face expressionless, making it impossible to tell whether she believed him or not.

Once Matthew had finished, she leisurely poured him another cup of coffee.

“Mr. Lozano, please calm down. I think I understand now. This makes a lot more sense. I was actually wondering why the guild suddenly started to make things difficult for the Cox family. After all, the Cox family is a powerful force within the guild. Now, it’s clear that they have gone too far.”

Matthew took a sip of coffee, moistened his throat, and nodded in agreement. “You’re right, I understand. Based on my words alone, you might still not believe me. But the events from back then, not only I, but many people in the guild also knew about it. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to the guild, so you can ask those people and hear what they have to say.’

Neera waved her hand dismissively. “You’re overthinking it. Of course I trust what you say. This matter holds no significance to the Gordon family, so there’s no reason for you to deceive me.”

The conversation was nearly over, and once again, Matthew extended an olive branch.

“Ms. Garcia, what do you think about my previous proposal? If you agree, I can have the guild announce that you have become the third elder of Bartitsu Guild upon my return. This will elevate the status of the Gordon family. From now on, the guild and the Gordon family will support each other, creating a mutually beneficial situation.”

Neera hesitated for a moment before cautiously responding, “Mr. Lozano, I appreciate your sincerity. To be honest, I’m quite surprised and flattered that you invited me here today and shared so much with

me. However, as you know, I’m new here. Even though I’ve become the head of the Gordon family, I can’t make decisions on such significant matters alone. I need to discuss this with my uncle and the elders of the Gordon family. Once we reach a decision, I will inform you immediately. Would that be acceptable?”

Matthew was quite satisfied with her current attitude. Although he didn’t get the results he wanted immediately, he gained a bit more patience.

“Alright, after all, this matter is of great importance. It’s only right to be cautious. I hope to hear a positive response from you.”

Neera stood up, smiled slightly, and said, “Certainly.”

Seeing Neera return to sit in the car, Jean closed his laptop, set it aside, and asked her, “How did it go? What did Matthew say?”

Neera’s expression turned grim, completely losing the feigned politeness she had shown Matthew.

“Hmph,” she snorted disdainfully. “This old fox is full of lies. He simply shifts all the blame onto the Cox family and does so logically. If I hadn’t been aware of the situation, I might have actually been tricked by him.”

Jean slowly smiled, his expression somewhat nonchalant.

“It’s normal for one to never blame themselves. He wants to win you over, so naturally, he would try to brainwash you into believing him. How did you respond to him?”

Neera turned to look at him, blinking her eyes mischievously.

didn’t give him a de

“I didn’t give him a definitive answer. I just told him that the matter was of great importance and I needed to go back and discuss it with my uncle and the elders of our family.”

Jean immediately understood. “Why? Do you intend to mess with Matthew?”

Neera let out a disdainful snort. “I can’t be bothered to waste my time on him.”

“So, what do you want to do?”

“Um… I was thinking whether I could possibly find some clues about the Wug inside Avery’s body.”

Jean raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

Neera went on to share with him the speculations she had.

“Think about it. Isn’t it quite a coincidence? Not long after Avery’s parents discovered that armory, they both fell victim to the wug poison. Soon after, they passed away. Yet, when Avery was weak and ill, the guild never showed any concern. But now that I’ve healed Avery, his health is improving, and the power of the entire Cox family is on the rise, the guild can’t sit still anymore. So, they’ve openly brought up the matter of the armory. It’s clear that they have hidden intentions and have been coveting the armory for a long time. They’ve chosen to act at this critical moment because they’ve realized that Avery is no longer predictable to them.

Jean asked, “So you think that the wugs in Avery and his parents are related to Bartitsu Guild?” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, and my gut feeling tells me that there’s a good chance of it. Avery also suspects this and has sent someone to investigate. I’m thinking that we might be able to find some clues from Matthew.”

Jean pondered slightly. “Aren’t you afraid that if the guild notices, it will be detrimental to the Gordon family?”

Neera laughed. “What’s there to be scared of? It’s just a matter of time. We’re going to reject them anyway. When the time comes, Bartitsu Guild will definitely crush the Gordon family. What I need to do now is to take advantage of this period to find clues as quickly as possible. If we can find solid evidence, that would be even better.”

At this point, recalling Matthew’s words elicited a slight frown from her.

Matthew mentioned that there are still some people in the guild who know about the events back then. Those people must certainly know the truth. It seems I need to investigate which of the current members of Bartitsu Guild were involved in the discovery of the armory by the Cox family back in the day.

Once she returned home, she shared her thoughts with Chad.

Upon hearing her words, Chad didn’t object, he only reminded her, “Neera, just be careful.”
