Chapter 11
On the way back to the hotel, Neera made a call to her aunt Adriana, who was living
abroad, and told her what happened at the Garcia family residence earlier.
Adriana sounded disappointed after she heard that. “I knew he must be planning
something when he asked you to return to Kingsview, but I didn’t expect it’d be like
that… He never considers your happiness at all!”
Neera was not as disappointed. She did not bear any hope for her father to care for her
anyway.
If he had, he would not have kicked her out of the house and cut off all contact for six
years.
He would have probably forgotten about her if not that she could bring him some
financial benefit! NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Despite her derision toward her father, Neera remained calm. “Don’t worry, Aunt
Adriana. I’m not going to agree to the marriage… I’ll find some other way to reclaim my
mother’s shares for me. No one can claim what rightfully belongs to me.”
“Mm, I believe in you,” Adriana said.
She felt sorry for Neera. Her elder brother Alfonso had been cruel to the poor girl.

Neera would have suffered, but she was highly ambitious and made a name for herself.
As much as Adriana was indignant, there was no point in mentioning things that
happened in the past. That would only make Neera sad. Adriana changed the topic and
said, “Are you used to life back at Kingsview? Have you found a place to stay? How are
the triplets?”
Neera smiled and said, “Everything’s okay so far. We’re still staying in a hotel because
our funds are frozen for now. I can’t buy a house yet, but I should go and find a rental
property in a couple of days. As for the triplets, they’re always thinking of where to visit
next. I think they’re more like tourists than anything else.”
Adriana smiled. “You’ve only been gone for two days, but I miss them already. I’ll help you solve your house problem. I have a friend who’s migrating overseas, and she wants
to sell a mansion. The location is ideal, and the furniture is all brand–new. You can move
there for now and only pay after you have the funds.”
Neera wanted to decline her aunt’s request because she did not want to trouble her, but after considering the appointment with the Beauvort family, she agreed to it instead.
She was thinking of declining the appointment. It was not because she did not have a good impression of the Beauvort family but because she did not want the Garcia family
to be involved.
She nodded and said, “Thank you, Aunt Adriana.”

“I never knew you can be so polite!” Adriana joked.
Neera smiled warmly. They chatted for a while before ending the call.
As soon as the call ended, Adriana sent a message to Harvey. “Harvey! I’ve already
done what you asked me to do. I’ve paid for the house at No. 2, Imperial Gardens, you
wanted in full. But why are you hiding this from your mother? What are you three
planning this time?”
Harvey grinned happily when he saw the message. He replied, “Nothing. I only want to
give Mommy a surprise. Thanks for your help, Grand–Aunt Adriana! You must keep this
a secret, okay?”
Adriana was not going to say no to Harvey.
There was a reason why Harvey wanted that house. It was because… Jean lived at No.
1, Imperial Gardens!
That was next door to their future house!
Of course, Neera did not know all that.
As soon as she returned to the hotel, she told Sammy, “Help me cancel the
appointment with the Beauvort family.”

The triplets were shocked to hear that!

Harvey managed to maintain his cool. He asked, “Why, Mommy? Is there a problem with
the appointment?”
“No… I have my reasons to cancel it. The Beauvort family should look for someone else
to solve their problem. I’m sure they’re rich enough to do that.”
Sammy did not agree. He tried to convince her, “You should really reconsider your
decision, Mommy. Are you sure you don’t want 50 million dollars? Also, they won’t have
a good impression of us if we cancel the appointment now.”
Penny also tried to convince Neera. “Yeah, Mommy. It’s not good to go back against
your word. I’ve heard that the patient is in a really critical condition, and they must’ve
exhausted their options before they found you. Aren’t you oath–bound to save people?”
Neera felt a little guilty.
She knew it was not very professional of her to cancel the appointment now, but she
was thoroughly repulsed by what the Garcia family was planning.
Nothing good would come out of it if she continued to be involved.
She insisted on her decision. “I’m sorry, babies. I have my reasons for canceling this appointment. I’ll think of some other way to make money, okay? Also… I’ll be going to work in Aunt Adriana’s research lab after this, and I won’t have time for anything else.”
The triplets did not know what to do, seeing that their mother had already made up her mind.
Harvey was the one to speak first. “Alright, then. If that’s what you’ve decided, we’ll listen to you.”
After all, they were about to be neighbors with “Daddy” soon!
There would be opportunities for Neera to treat Jean, and after that, reuniting with the father would not be a dream!
