Después de dar algunas instrucciones posteriores a la operacién, se dio vuelta y se fue.
En ese momento, todos los familiares del tio abuelo

“Jean, Joanna es una excelente doctora. La
tasa de éxito de esta cirugia fue sdlo del treinta por ciento, pero
debido a su intervenci6n, se elevé al sesenta por ciento.
por ciento”, hablé Wrenn de repente.
Jean levant6 ligeramente los parpados y le pregunt6 directamente: “4Qué estas tratando de decir?”
1/9 “I think you should know what | mean. Joanna has been very concerned and responsible for your condition for the past two years. Even though someone else is treating you now, you shouldn't burn bridges and completely shut Joanna out of your medical care. It’s too heartless of you to just kick her aside like that; she still has value to offer.” Jean squinted his eyes slightly, a hint of displeasure in his gaze. “So, she went to you to plead on her behalf, asking you to intervene?” Wrenn shook her head, “I knew you'd think that way, but Joanna is not that kind of person. She didn’t say a single bad word about Ms. Garcia in front of me. She even praised her a few times. She simply informed me about your condition when she was doing a routine check for me.” Jean wasn’t sure whether to believe it or not, but his demeanor grew even Aug Chapter 13 2 Green with Envy colder. 1/5 “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with replacing a doctor who hasn’t made. any progress in two years.” “Words may say that, but Joanna has put in effort too. It’s just that your condition is extremely complicated. Keeping her on the team is a precautionary measure, for there will be times when you'll need her expertise, understand?” As Wrenn continued, her tone became increasingly firm, clearly intending to stand up for him. “So, | won't agree to remove her from the team. You must reinstate Joanna in her position if you want me and your father to feel at ease.” Listening to her words, leaving no room for disagreement, Jean's gaze dimmed. In the end, he didn’t agree or reject outright. Later that evening, after visiting his great-uncle, he returned to the company. Chapter 122 Green with Enery Shortly after, Wrenn told Joanna about the conversation. Joanna took Jean’s silence as consent and was overjoyed, profusely thanking Wrenn, speaking as sweetly as honey. She told Wrenn exactly what she wanted to hear... After leaving the hospital, Jean went directly back to the company. Busy throughout the day, he had an unexpected social engagement in the evening and didn’t return home, heading straight to meet with the client. On Neera’s side, she also made a phone call to Zuniga. Thave a social engagement tonight, so | won’t be coming home for dinner. Can you pick up the kids and make sure they eat well without waiting for me?” 10:58 Wed, 23 Aug A Chapter 13 2 Green with Envy Zuniga naturally agreed. Later, she went to the restaurant with Levi. The restaurant was carefully chosen by Levi, with a vintage decor that created a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere. Neera looked around at the decorations and ambiance inside the private room and remarked, “This place is nice.” 78% Levi pulled out the chair for her, smiling warmly. “I knew you'd like it. The food here is also great, so we can savor it later.” 4/9 He was attentive, which made Neera feel a bit uncomfortable, but she kept a composed expression, nodding in thanks as she took her seat. Soon, the other executives arrived, and the atmosphere became lively. Levi took responsibility to introduce several high-level executives to Neera. 10 58 Wed, 28 Au Chapter 137 Green with Emery “This is Haider Xavier, the manager of the finance department, and this is from the business department... Finally, the vice president, Scarlet Swain.” 6/9 He introduced them in sequence, pointing to the lady sitting on his other side. Neera looked over and found that she was quite beautiful, a typical savvy and capable urban elite woman, exuding an alluring aura. She smiled at her and politoly grooted, “Hollo.” Scarlet also smiled in return, but her approach wasn’t as enthusiastic as the others, “I've heard of Ms. Garcia’s name from Mr. Wilkes. Today, | finally get the chance to meet you.” She raised her wine glass and continued, “Nice to meet you. Please take care of me.” Noera, upon hearing her words, glimpsed a glint of curiosity in her clear eyes. Scarlet seemed polite with her words, but her attitude gave off a sense of X 10:58 Chapter 13 2 Green with Envy coldness. Even... Neera could sense a hint of hostility emanating from her. Initially, Neera was somewhat puzzled. 78% They were meeting for the first time, and she hadn’t done anything to provoke Scarlet, so why did she suddenly hold some animosity toward her? But it didn’t take long for her to figure out the reason. During the meal, Scarlet occasionally glanced at Levi, engaging in conversation with him, her eyes expressing more than just a casual interest. And Levi's care and attention towards her were somewhat apparent.... 6/9 Neera guessed that Scarlet probably had feelings for Levi, and that’s why she saw Neera as a potential rival! Neera couldn't help but find it a little amusing. 10:58 Wed, 23 Aug A Chapter 13 2 Green with Envy This was truly an unfounded disaster! However, Scarlet didn’t think that way... She had worked hard for so long, finally securing her position, and she belloved it was due to her abilities that she reached such heights. Therefore, she looked down on Neera, who seemed to have been given her position through connections. Even more, she disliked Levi's warm attitude toward Neera... After all, he was quite aloof when he was with her. Neera didn’t expect all this, nor did she pay much attention to Scarlet's hostility. Instead, she enjoyed the meal wholeheartedly. Her down-to-earth demeanor made the senior impression of her. executives have a favorable 7/9 10:58 Wed, 23 Aug Chapter 13 2 Green with Envy After dinner, the group suggested moving to another venue. < Neera wanted to go home, but she didn’t want to spoil the mood of the first gathering, so she went along with them to the club. After all, she was the one treating everyone, so it was only natural to treat them until the end. 8/9 At the new venue, the group ordered plenty of drinks and engaged in relaxed conversation while having fun. Levi remained seated next to Neera, actively pouring her drinks and taking care of her. However, Neera didn’t drink much. She didn’t particularly enjoy this type of place, even though it was the highest-end club in Kingsview, with a calm and sophisticated environment and well-mannered guests. Still, she couldn't warm up to it. Chapter 1 32 Green with Envy 6/9 During the time everyone was drinking and enjoying themselves, she took out her phone and sent a message to the triplets, asking what they were up to. Seeing that Neera wasn’t actively participating, Levi tried to strike up a conversation with her, trying to make the of this opportunity for more contact. Meanwhile, upstairs in the VIP private room, Jean was there too. His position had an excellent view, and with just a slight glance, he could oversee the entire scene. At this moment, he noticed the situation downstairs and frowned...
Chapter 133 Jean rarely frequented such places in his daily life. However, just after concluding a business meeting with a client, he happened to spot Neera entering the venue with a group of people. At first, he tried not to pay attention to her presence, telling himself that their relationship was merely a fake marriage and didn’t concern him. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, his eyes kept drifting toward her. He couldn’t help but notice how Levi was being attentive to her, which stirred an unfamiliar feeling of discomfort and annoyance within him. Jean couldn't pinpoint the source of his unease-perhaps it was the effects. of the alcohol or the peculiar dynamics of their contractual marriage. Regardless, he blamed it on the other man’s “overbearing” appearance, unwilling to delve deeper into his emotions. Downstairs, Neera was unaware that someone had set their eyes on her. After exchanging a few words with the triplets, she decided to put her phone away. However, Levi’s incessant chatter was starting to grate on her nerves. Introducing Suppressing her annoyance, Neera endured Levi’s incessant chatter until her patience wore thin. She found an excuse to leave, stating that the place felt stuffy and she needed some fresh air. think it’s a bit stuffy in here. I'll go outside for some fresh air.” Levi nodded, knowing better than to stop her. As Neera left the private room, her ears finally found some peace and quiet. She went to the restroom to freshen up and took a brief moment in the hallway to catch her breath. After some time, she decided it was about time to return. However, just as she turned around, she came face to face with Zachary! Zachary had come out tonight to have some fun. Earlier, he had discovered that his condition hadn't improved despite the medication’s effects wearing off, leaving him unable to perform. No matter how much Roxanne tried to tempt him, he felt no desire whatsoever. 1058 Wed, 23 Aug Chapter 133 No Leaving Tonight 3/4 Growing increasingly frustrated, he confronted the doctor again, demanding answers as to why he still couldn’t function. The doctor could only reassure him and advise him to wait a little longer. Having lost his patience, Zachary decided to find another woman to test himself with, thinking that maybe he had lost interest in Roxanne and just needed a change. With this in mind, he came to this top-notch club and flirted with an alluring woman on the dance floor. He was eager to take her to the room and try his luck, but to his dismay, he failed again! Abandoning the woman in the room, he stormed out, his face filled with fury and a desire to lash out. Unbeknownst to him, he would run into Neera here! The moment he laid eyes on her, his face turned dark, and his eyes burned. with anger. He seethed with resentment as he approached her. Introducing TRY THE PURION NOW!

You’re even dumber than a dog!” “You-” Zachary was seething with rage, humiliated by her words. “I warn you, Neera Garcia, watch your mouth!

Breaking into someone else’s room in the middle of the night, and now you’re scared?” Her gaze was filled with disdain, which only fueled Zachary’s anger, making his blood rush to his head. “You wench, spare me your nonsense! Hand over the antidote now, or I’ll make you regret it!” he shouted, his face turning red with rage. Neera’s stunning face looked even colder, and she regarded him with contempt. “Looks like you lack self-awareness. When asking for help, you should be more humble. If you want the antidote, you better get down on your knees and bow three times to show some sincerity.” “You !!” With a mocking smile, Neera replied, “Too bad, | don’t have the antidote. Even 10:59 Wed, 23 Aug Chapter 134 Letting People Have Their Way With You if you begged on your knees until they bled, | wouldn’t be able to help.” Saying that, she turned to leave. 2/6 Zachary was fuming, his face flushed with anger and his eyes filled with rage. “Dare to play games with me, Neera Garcia? You're asking for trouble!” Through clenched teeth, he reached out to grab her. Neera swiftly slapped away his hand, her expression turning fierce. “Don’t touch me!” Her look of disgust only fueled Zachary’s anger, and he lost all restraint, his tone becoming menacing. “You lowlife, pretending to be innocent? You were played by everyone years ago and now you're acting all pure and naive. Do you think I’m a fool? Let me tell you, if you don’t hand over the antidote today, you won't take a single step out of here!” OX Introducing TRY THE F U CION NOW!

Perhaps he’s been living in a rat hole for too long, becoming no different from a rat crossing the street.” Zachary was seething with anger at being mocked by these two, and his face turned extremely unpleasant. 2/5 His cheeks twitched, and his eyes became bloodshot with rage, resembling a mad dog as he roared, “Neera Garcia, | see you’re asking for death! Do you think finding some gigolo will protect you? Let me tell you, not even the heavens themselves can save you today! I’ll make you beg for your life and wish for death!” As he spoke, he exerted more force, dragging Neera ruthlessly. However, at that moment, Jean’s eyes turned as cold as black iron.

Simultaneously, he used his strength to pull Neera into his embrace. 35 Wod Old You Think You Are Trying to St. 3/5 Neera, with no balance at the moment, accidentally bumped into the man’s solid chest, and her nose stung a little, causing her to frown. Yet, she immediately felt the familiar aura enveloping her, a sense of inexplicable comfort that made her relax involuntarily in his arms. Jean held her waist, asserting his dominance with a powerful aura, and looked down at Zachary with a chilly gaze, coldly throwing out a challenge, You? Dare to steal from me?” Initially, this statement seemed somewhat ambiguous, but Neera quickly realized that she was his doctor and, in name, his wife, so she could be considered his “property.” Zachary, still reeling from the kick that left him sitting on the ground, his abdomen in pain, couldn't believe that this insignificant nobody dared to challenge him. “You dare to hit me?!” To av ved 23 Aug Chapter 13 wha Ba Veu Think You Are, Trying to st In an instant, he looked at Neera with a bitter and malicious expression, as if he wanted to devour her alive. 4/5 “Well, well! | thought you were so virtuous, but it turns out you got married and immediately started messing around with another gigolo! Neera Garcia, you’re nothing but a fickle woman, no wonder a few years ago...” His words were filthy and disgusting, causing Neera’s face to turn cold, even if she pretended not to care. At that moment, she suddenly broke free from Jean’s embrace, taking a few steps forward. With a swift motion, she slapped Zachary’s face multiple times, putting all her strength into each blow. “Zachary Fain, who’s the one acting fickle here? It was you who broke off our engagement, and then you came crawling back like a dog, begging for attention! Did | ever pay any attention to you?

They cracked their knuckles and gave hostile glares. Jean remained composed, not even batting an eye or raising an eyebrow in response to their presence. Neera, seeing the situation, immediately retreated silently to stand beside Jean. It wasn’t that she was timid, but the people Zachary had brought were not easy to deal with. As for herself, she had no fighting skills, and Jean was recovering from an illness, so she doubted he could fight either. And lan... Looking at his refined appearance, it didn’t seem like he could fight either! Just as Neera thought this, lan suddenly stepped forward, casually moving his neck and speaking with a disdainful tone. Is this all you’ve got? Anyone else wants to join, so | won't have to waste my effort twice.” Francis coldly snorted, “Quite bold, but soon you won't even have the chance to beg for mercy! The few of us are enough to take care of you!” lan raised an eyebrow, smirking with a hint of roguishness, “Hey, do you know that disrespecting someone comes with consequences?!” With that, he didn’t waste any more words and went straight into action. In less than five minutes, all the seven or eight people Zachary had called were lying on the ground defeated.

Ignoring the situation, she clapped her hands cheerfully, “I didn’t expect it! Your assistant is full of surprises!” Hearing her light-hearted voice, Jean glanced at her, feeling somewhat amused. This woman had quite a bold heart! She still found time to applaud at a moment like this. But now that the matter was resolved, there was no need to linger here. 1127 Thu 22 Chapter 13 6 Stay Useless Forever Jean shifted his gaze away, turned around, and said, “Let’s go Neera didn’t even spare Zachary another glance as she hurriedly followed Jean, saying, “Wait for me!” lan clapped his hands and caught up too, asking curiously, “Ms, Gardia, how did you get involved with that idiot?” Neera rolled her eyes, denying, “It wasn’t me who got involved; it was that guy who shamelessly came to me.” Jean, who was walking ahead, heard their conversation and casually asked, “He’s cri ppled below the waist, what does that mean? And what was he trying to do?” Unaware that he would ask, Neera hesitated for a moment but decided not to hide anything and briefly explained the grudge between her and Zachary, including the night of her wedding when Zachary invaded her room and attempted to take advantage of her, only to be tricked into taking an impotence drug. Chapter 13 6 Stay Useless Forever 517 Initially, Jean continued walking as usual, but when he heard the last part, his expression froze, and he stopped in his tracks, glancing at her with a strange look in his eyes. lan was even more shocked, and he immediately hit the brakes, looking astonished. “So... that Zachary won't be able to stand up anymore?” Initially, it was nothing serious, but being stared at by these two individuals, Neera inexplicably felt a bit awkward. She raised her hand and touched her nose, responding in a mu ffled voice, “Um...” lan’s pupils trembled, and he subconsciously clenched his legs. “Ms... Ms. Garcia, let’s make a deal! If | accidentally offend you in the future, please let me know, and I'll apologize and kowtow to you, whatever it takes. Just... please don’t sprinkle any strange powders on me!” The thought of not being able to stand up also made him shudder.

In an instant, a fierce hostility emerged between his noble brows, and his facial lines became exceptionally sharp. He didn’t say anything, just glanced at lan. v But at that moment, lan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that Jean... seemed to be angry!!!

You both go ahead and wait in the cor fill go back and get it; I'll be right there.” As his words trailed off, Jean’s expression remained indifferent as he looked
at Neera,
“Should we go now, or do you want to wait here?”
Without any doubt, Neera shook her head, “No, just the thought of being in the same space as that guy feels so unlucky, Let's go wait in the car.”
Jean nodded and turned to leave.
As they descended the stairs, Neera could sense a low-pressure aura emanating from the man, accompanied by a subtle chill. She felt a bit puzzled.
Why did this man seem somewhat angry...?
But then again, shouldn’t he be angry with her?
Besides, lan had already taken care of the guy, so why was he still upset? 2/6
As lan turned back, he caught Zachary propping himself against the wall and angrily kicking the unconscious Francis on the ground.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“You useless piece of trash! Can't even handle such a simple task! What good are you?!”
Thinking about how he was humiliated by Neera and that insignificant pretty boy, Zachary seethed with rage, gritting his teeth.
“Dare to lay a hand on me! They have no idea what’s coming next time | see them, I'll make them...”

“What will you do?”
Just as Zachary vented his frustration, lan suddenly appeared, picking up where Zachary left off.
He was startled, almost losing his footing and almost falling to the ground. Hastily, he steadied himself against the wall and angrily demanded, “Why are you back? What do you want?!”
lan leisurely approached, a mocking smile on his face as he spoke, “My Sire isn't pleased, so....”
He extended his hand with a seemingly friendly expression and cut Zachary off, “I'll shake your hand.”
Before Zachary could react, lan grabbed his hand without any hesitation and continued, “...and give you a firm handshake.”
With that, he applied force to Zachary’s hand.
In the next second, a loud “cr ack echoed through the entire floor as Zachary's right forearm snapped
Abhhur
His agonizing scream reverberated through the entire building Zachary was in excruciating pain, his face turning pale, and he was barely conscious as large beads of sweat rolled down his face like a torrential downpour.
Seeing him in this pitiful state, lan clapped his hands in satisfaction before leaving with an air of arrogance, having settled the score
Back in the car, Neera and Jean waited for a while before lan returned. Soon, the car started, leaving the club behind
On the way back, Neera sent a message to Levi
“Sorry, I’m not feeling well, so I’m heading back first. Let everyone know they don’t need to wait for me and can enjoy the rest of the night. Put all the bills Chapter 137 No Flirting with Others
tonight under my name.”
In the private room, Levi saw the message and felt a bit regretful for missing the chance to send her home.
However, he quickly perked up again.
After all, Neera was back in the country now and happened to be in charge of this branch office. They would have plenty of time to spend together in the future.
Meanwhile, Neera let out a sigh of relief after explaining. She turned to Jean and thanked him, “Thank you for tonight. | appreciate it.”
Jean responded calmly, “No need to thank me. After all, you are my ‘wife’ in name, and if something were to happen to you, it wouldn’t be a good thing for me either...”

As he spoke, a hint of darkness flickered in his jet-black eyes, and he squinted slightly.
“Furthermore, | hope you understand that even though our marriage is a contract, it appears real to the outside world. So, you still need to be mindful of your behavior and actions in public. At the very least... no more flirting with other men openly. It’s for the benefit of both of us.”
Hearing this, Neera furrowed her brows in confusion, “When did | flirt with other men openly?”
Jean didn’t mince his words, “Tonight, you were together with a man in the private room at the club, weren’t you?”
Neera was taken aback and then realized whom he was referring to Levi. She couldn’t help but find it hilarious.
What was he thinking? How did her actions with Levi become flirting?

Neera found it amusing and immediately explained, “That man is Levi Wilkes, the head of my aunt’s department at the Kingsview branch. There’s no reason for me to flirt with him. Besides, | wasn’t alone with him today, we were all out together with the company’s executives, just getting acquainted. Where did you get that idea?”
Upon hearing her explanation, Jean realized that the man was her subordinate.
For some inexplicable reason, he seemed less displeased than before, and the dark cloud hanging over him seemed to silently drift away.
Nevertheless, he maintained his composed demeanor, nodding to show that he understood. He added with a hint of a subtle reminder, “Just remember your ‘married’ status and always be mindful of boundaries.”
Neera felt speechless.

Why did this man seem a bit strange?
She rolled her eyes in response, saying, “Of course, | know my boundaries. | don’t need you to remind me.”
Jean seemed oblivious to her annoyance and calmly replied, “That's good then.”
Now, Neera felt a bit frustrated.
She didn’t understand her feelings, suddenly feeling irked, but she also felt it wasn’t necessary to say much about it, so she chose not to say anything more.
Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at Imperial Gardens.
Neera bid farewell with little emotion and quickly returned home.
On the other side, at the hospital.
Chapter 13 8 Mind Your Marned Status
Zachary was rushed to the emergency room overnight, where doctors set and cast his broken right forearm. After the ordeal, he was moved to a VIP ward,
Word reached the Fain family and Roxanne, and they hurriedly rushed to the hospital.
Upon seeing their beloved son injured in such a miserable state, his mother, Qaylah Levin, couldn’t help but feel distressed. She kept asking if he felt any discomfort, fearing that his condition might worsen.
His father, Harley, on the other hand, was seething with anger. He stood in the hospital room with a dark and stormy expression.
“Who dares to lay hands on you?!”
Zachary's right arm was wrapped in a bulky cast, making him look clumsy and comical as he sat leaning against the bed, his face clouded with a deep scowl.

“Who else could it be? Of course, it’s Neera! That bit ch!”
He gritted his teeth as he responded, his tone fiercely hostile when he mentioned Neera’s name.
It was as if he wanted to skin her alive and drink her blood.
Roxanne, sensitive to the situation, saw his expression change suddenly, and she immediately pressed for answers.
“Zach, how is this related to Neera? How did you end up meeting her?” Fuming, Zachary spoke as if he had eaten gunpowder, his tone filled with agitation.
“It was a coincidence of course! Do you think I'd purposely go and meet her? That bi tch had her sugar daddy attack me, causing me to end up like this!” Hearing this, Qaylah was furious, and she immediately scolded with a stern voice.
Chapter 13 8 Mind Your Married Status
“That Neera was always restless and a shameless woman! | never thought that after all these years, she'd still be so shameless and dare to bully you. This is simply outrageous!”
Harley was also infuriated, emitting a strong aura of anger.
Zachary was their Fain family’s pride and joy, and he had never raised his hand in anger at him in his entire life!
And that Neera was so ruthless that she directly broke his son’s bones! There was no way the Fain family could let this slide!
He said firmly, “Zach, you rest here and focus on recovering. Don’t worry, | won’t let them get away with this. I'll go to the club right now, have them check the surveillance, and find out who was involved! None of them will escape!”
Upon hearing this, Zachary finally managed to suppress his anger.
Chapter 13 8 Mind Your Mamed Status
Qaylah also tried to persuade him, “That’s right, Zach. You focus on healing and leave the rest to your father. With him handling it, you can be sure that that bi tch and her lover will pay the price!”
At this point, Roxanne nodded in agreement and took the opportunity to show her support, “Auntie Qaylah is right, Zach. I'll stay here to take care of you and keep you company.”
Upon hearing this, Harley and Qaylah both looked at her with appreciation, “Roxanne is indeed sensible, unlike that Neera...”
Chapter 199 Obsession Runs Deep
On the other side, at the hospital, Roxanne tenderly spoke, “Zach is my fiancé, it's only natural for me to take care of him. Uncle Harley, Auntie Qaylah, please calm down. This whole incident is entirely my sister’s fault, and you both shouldn't let it affect your health...”
Roxanne’s sweet words endeared her even more to the Fain couple, further fueling their dislike for Neera.
That night, Roxanne stayed by Zachary’s side, never leaving the hospital room.
Harley immediately dispatched men to the club to investigate the surveillance footage.
However, to their surprise, the next day, the security team reported that they found nothing.
“How is that possible?” Harley slammed the table, his expression grim, “Such a Chapter 139 Obsession Runs Deep
big club should have surveillance. They must be hiding something!”
The security team nervously explained, “Mr. Fain, the club is being uncooperative. They refuse to show us the surveillance footage and won't reveal the identity of the assailant, even when we mentioned the Fain family’s name.”
Hearing this, Harley’s face turned darker. It seemed that Neera’s patron had a formidable background, or else the club wouldn't dare to be so uncooperative, even when facing the Fain family.
In deep thought, he coldly said, “This Neera isn’t just keeping a toy boy; she has h ooked up with a big shot. | wonder how influential that person must be!” Zachary, boiling with anger, gritted his teeth and cursed, “That despicable woman!”
Roxanne couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, she didn’t want Neera to have a good life. Hearing that Neera had found a wealthy backer and was living a luxurious life filled her with disdain and jealousy. On 1128 Thu, 2AAU OT

the other hand, she didn’t want Zachary to have any further involvement with Neera, no matter the reason...
After weighing the pros and cons, she advised, “Zach, don’t get too angry for now. The most important thing is to focus on healing your body. Let’s not pursue this matter right away. Once you're better, we can settle the score later.”
Zachary glared at her, “What do you know? How can | just let it go?!”
The broken arm was one thing, but what bothered him more was that Neera hadn't given him the antidote, and he still hadn't recovered in that aspect. According to Neera, without the antidote, it might never heal. This directly challenged his manhood and self-esteem. How could he possibly swallow his pride?
However, he couldn’t bring himself to speak about these sensitive matters, so he maintained an angry expression, making it clear that he wouldn't give up. Seeing his reaction, Roxanne concealed her frustration but couldn’t help

feeling irritated. She didn’t understand why Zachary was so deeply fixated on that despicable woman!
For her, it was a significant threat!

Unaware of the complexities in the hearts of others, Neera had a bit of alcohol the previous night and went to bed early after taking a shower.
The next day was the weekend, so she didn’t have to send the triplets to school. She decided to treat herself to a lazy morning, enjoying a nice lie-in. When she finally got up, she went downstairs to get some water and noticed that the triplets were nowhere to be found. Puzzled, she asked Zuniga, “Where are the kids? Did they go out to play?”
Zuniga took the empty water glass from Neera’s hand and smiled, “The three little rascals said they were very bored and went next door.”

Neera felt a little helpless but was concerned that the triplets might be bothering Jean, so she hurried over to check on them.
As she entered the living room, she saw Harvey sitting beside Jean, discussing the stock market situation with a seriousness beyond his years.... The little guy was speaking confidently and with great insight.
“For this stock, it may not seem impressive now, but it has tremendous potential over the next three years and could become a high-quality stock. It's a good idea to invest in it now. As for EK Era, although it may appear to have room for growth, it’s just an empty shell with nothing substantial inside. It's not worth buying...”

As Jean listened attentively, his gaze filled with astonishment. The triplets
had come over while he was focusing on the stock market. At first, he didn’t pay much attention to their presence and greeted them warmly before
asking Richard to fetch them some snacks.

However, to his surprise, little Harvey had silently joined him by the computer and started speaking about the stock market with confidence and insight.
What amazed Jean, even more, was that Harvey was talking about the very stock he was considering investing in!
For a five-year-old to discuss the stock market so knowledgeably was
already astonishing. But what made it even more unbelievable was that the stock Harvey recommended aligned perfectly with Jean’s thoughts.
Unable to contain his doubts, Jean inquired, “Do you understand stocks? How do you know so much?”
With a humble smile, Harvey replied, showing remarkable poise, “Yes, I’m Citibanamex

Jean raised an eyebrow, “Did your Mommy teach you?”
“No, Mommy doesn’t know anything about this. It's precisely because she doesn’t understand that she lets me handle the finances.”
Harvey shook his head, explaining further, “It was my Aunt who taught me a
lot about it when we were abroad. | also read some books on the subject.”
lan, who was listening nearby, found it difficult to believe. This couldn't be possible! A five-year-old child discussing stocks with such knowledge and confidence?
It was as if they could see through his skepticism, and the doublets, Sammy and Penny, eagerly supported their brother’s claims.
Sammy exclaimed, “Harvey is telling the truth! He’s amazing! Aunt noticed his talent before and specially allowed him to invest in several companies, all of Chapter 140 Baby Genius
which became successful and are now listed on the stock market!”
Penny added, “Absolutely! Uncle Jean, you must have heard of SJ Group and ELA Corporate, right? They are well-known overseas companies that have risen to fame in the last couple of years, and Harvey invested in them! He’s talented!”
Seeing how they idolized him, Harvey seemed a bit embarrassed but couldn't hide his pride. He sheepishly curved his lips and looked at Jean with sparkling eyes.

Incluso alguien tan sereno como Jean no pudo evitar respirar profundamente. No podia entender cémo Neera habia logrado criar un
prodigio tan extraordinario.
La sala se llend de un silencio inquietante y Jean no pudo encontrar las palabras para expresar su asombro.
Fue solo cuando Neera entro y se aclaré la garganta que la
escena anormalmente tranquila se rompio...
