The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1506

Upon hearing his voice, everyone turned their heads. They saw Frederic, clad in traditional attire, approaching with a majestic and regal aura.

Wrenn, wearing a curious expression, asked, “Did you release the surveillance video? When did you do it?”

Frederic nodded. “Just a moment ago. Since those two from the Marrow family are itching for trouble, there’s no need for me to show mercy. They want to bully our daughter-in-law? Let them dream on!”

Wrenn’s eyes sparkled, and she couldn’t help but praise, “Dear, you look so handsome right now!”

The old gentleman’s face turned a shade of red. He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then, as if remembering something, he corrected her seriously, “What you said isn’t quite right. It’s as if I wasn’t handsome before.”

Unexpectedly, Wrenn didn’t mince her words, saying, “Compared to now, you were a tad more charming back then.”

Frederic’s expression darkened, and he felt a bit gloomy on the spot. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Observing the typically stern Frederic revealing his softer side, the whole family couldn’t help but burst into. laughter.

Neera pressed her lips together, then suddenly bowed respectfully toward him. “Thank you, Dad.”

Seeing her bow, both Frederic and Wrenn quickly interrupted, “You child, what are you saying? No need for thanks; we’re all family here. Why are you bowing? Get up quickly…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Frederic suddenly grasped the situation. He froze, looking at Neera with an expression of disbelief. “You… What did you just call me?”

Neera smiled gently. “Dad.”

At this moment, Frederic was utterly astounded, as if he couldn’t believe what was happening. It took him a few seconds before he burst into hearty laughter. “Oh, how wonderful. This is truly wonderful!” He nodded excitedly, embracing the term.

Wrenn’s eyes welled up with tears, brimming with emotion and hope. However, she refrained from asking more, not wanting to disturb Neera.

Neera understood her unspoken concern. Lowering her gaze for a moment, she eventually let go of her worries. Lifting her eyelids, she offered a sincere smile to Wrenn. “Mom, thank you too.”

Wrenn’s wish had come true, and she was so overjoyed that words failed her. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly. She nodded repeatedly, her voice choked with emotion, overcome with uncontrollable sobs.

“Oh, my… I should be the one thanking you, Neera. Thank you for accepting us, thank you for being willing to call me ‘mom’, thank you…” She expressed her gratitude profusely, finally experiencing a profound release from the burdens that had weighed on her heart.

Neera looked at the two delighted individuals and spoke softly. “Thank you for supporting me. I’ve taken it all to heart. Despite the negative impact and criticism I’ve brought upon the Beauvort family, you didn’t blame me. Instead, you stood by me. I will always remember this kindness.”

Wrenn wiped away her tears, her joy evident in her expressions. She held Neera’s hand, gently rubbing it non-stop.

“Silly child, we’ve said it before, we’re family. There’s no need for thanks or feeling indebted, nor should you think you’ve wronged the Beauvort family in any way. You are a part of the family, so how could we possibly stand by and do nothing when you’re in trouble? It’s just that our ability to help is limited, and we respect your desire to handle things on your own. Rest assured, you just do what you want to do, and whatever happens, the Beauvort family will always have your back.”

Neera nodded slightly, sensing a tender gaze. Looking up, she saw Jean staring at her, his eyes filled with love and gentleness.

She flashed him a radiant smile, and Jean responded with a gentle one of his own.

As the Beauvorts relished a moment of warmth and tranquility, Nigel and Maggie were as uneasy as a cat on a hot tin roof.

“Nigel, what’s our next move? The online comments about us are getting worse by the minute. We need to figure out a solution!”

Nigel was furious. With a swift kick, he toppled the trash can, his frustration evident. “Find a solution? What kind of solution? You’re just telling me to think; why don’t you think for yourself!”

Startled, Maggie shivered, feeling completely wronged.

“What can I possibly do? Who would have thought that Adriana would keep all the evidence and release it now? Isn’t this directly exposing our lies? And the Beauvort family, they actually had

surveillance cameras! They didn’t reveal it back then, and they even dared to keep it from us! This is just too much!”

Nigel’s eyes bore a sinister and malicious look. “These wealthy folks, they’re all more cunning than the next, full of schemes. We can’t compete with them! Who would’ve thought, we’ve been played by them!”

Maggie, feeling like a headless chicken, anxiously asked, “What do we do now?”

Just when the two were at their wits’ end, suddenly, Wilfrid returned. His face was cold. Upon entering, the way he looked at Maggie and Nigel was so unfamiliar.

Maggie was taken aback, quickly getting up. “Oh my, Wilfrid, how come you’re back at this hour?”

Wilfrid didn’t respond to her question; instead, he cut straight to the chase, “Why did you do that?”

His abrupt question caught Nigel and Maggie off guard.

After a moment, Nigel regained his composure and immediately adopted a stern expression. “What’s your game now? Didn’t I warn you over the phone? If you continue to support that ungrateful sister of yours, then don’t count on us as your family! Are you really going to defy your parents for that ungrateful woman again?”

Wilfrid let out a cold laugh in response. “Ungrateful? Who’s the true ingrate here? I’ve always been perplexed. Why do you despise Neera so much? And despite that hatred, why did you adopt her? Now, I understand the truth. It wasn’t out of some supposed kindness, but pure greed! You seized everything that rightfully belonged to Neera and subjected her to cruel abuse! And yet, you have the audacity to label her as ungrateful. How can you even say those words?”

Wilfrid delivered each word and sentence with a force that reverberated, clearly enraged to the extreme.

Upon reading that statement, he felt as though he had been struck by lightning, followed by the sensation of being thrown into an ice cave. His entire body froze, enveloped in a chilling coldness that was truly terrifying.

Never could he have imagined that his own parents could be such despicable peoplel

He continued, “And let’s not forget, the reason you refused to let Neera come home back then was because you accepted money from the Garcia family. You exploited her, treated her terribly, and now you have the audacity to demand money from her! Have you no shame? Why should she give you anything? She doesn’t owe you a thing! If anything, you owe her! You even had the nerve to approach the Beauvort family, causing a scene and demanding money, and even stealing from them. How can I have parents like you!”

Smack!

Stung by Wilfrid’s words, Nigel suddenly strode over and delivered a resounding slap across his face.

Maggie was startled and quickly stepped forward to intervene. “Stop, don’t hit our son! Have you lost your mind?”

Nigel fiercely pushed her away in frustration, pointing at Wilfrid’s nose as he scolded him harshly, “I think this boy has lost his mind! To question his own parents for a stranger, and even utter such outrageous words! Saying we have no shame? Have you forgotten that it was us who raised you, not that ingrate! We are your biological parents, and whether you like it or not, you have to acknowledge us! Unless you sever ties with us, don’t even think about leaving this family!”
