Chapter 1363

Neera initially thought meeting George and Leopold that day was already surreal enough.

Unexpectedly, there was another surprise waiting for her.

As she stepped out of the villa’s main gate, a red convertible came roaring in.

The sound of brakes screeching filled the air, followed immediately by a shrill female voice.

“Why are you here, Neera?”

That was an extremely sharp question, filled with displeasure.

Nicole was in the driver’s seat, her black curls cascading down her back. Her beautiful face was adorned with exquisite makeup, and she had fair skin and red lips, making her strikingly attractive.

However, the expression on her face could hardly be considered attractive.

She wore a look of astonishment. Her brows were slightly furrowed with a blatant display of aversion toward Neera.

Neera glanced at her casually, with no intention of engaging in conversation. She walked around the front of the car and headed toward the path on the other side.

Nicole’s indifferent demeanor unknowingly hit a nerve, instantly infuriating her.

Bam!

She flung the car door open and stepped out, her high heels clicking sharply on the ground. She positioned herself in front of Neera..

“Are you deaf? I was talking to you. Couldn’t you hear me?”

Neera stopped in her tracks and glanced at her nonchalantly with a disdainful look in her eyes.

“I heard you,” she replied. “But I didn’t want to answer you. Is there a problem with that?”

Nicole’s anger blazed even hotter. “You didn’t want to answer me? How dare you!”

“Yes. If I remember correctly, we don’t really have much of a relationship, do we? It’s not against the law if I don’t want to answer you, is it?”

With eyes outlined in thick black eyeliner, Nicole glared at Neera fiercely. Her face was contorted in a distinct mask of rage.

“Not against the law? It may not be against the law, but do you know what manners mean? Is this your upbringing?”

Neera was downright amused. Her stunningly beautiful features relaxed, and a hint of mockery showed on her face.

“And here I thought the high and mighty Ms. Meyer had no concept of manners. It turns out that you do know?”

When her own words were used against her, Nicole’s face flushed bright red.

Admiring her furious expression calmly, Neera continued in a drawl, “We’ve just met, and you’re already shouting at me without a courtesy greeting. Now, you’re even arrogantly blocking my path.

Well, is this your idea of manners? Although I don’t know Mr. Meyer all that well, from his speech and behavior, I can tell he’s a gentle and courteous man. Mr. Leopold is also a polite and modest gentleman. Why is it that when it comes to you, you’re so rude and bitter?”

She spoke very bluntly, not mincing her words at all.

As soon as Nicole heard that, her face instantly drained of all color. Her anger flared even hotter, and she raised her hand to slap Neera.

Naturally, Neera would never let her have her way. With a swift motion, she grabbed her wrist.

way “Ready to resort to violence in your frustration? Ms. Meyer, I advise you to save the effort. Don’t assume that everyone will fall for your tricks. Haven’t you suffered enough at my hands? Inviting humiliation is not something a smart person would do.”

“How dare you! Let go of me!” Nicole was so angry that she almost burst a blood vessel.

She struggled mightily. Neera didn’t insist on keeping hold of her and suddenly let go. Due to inertia, Nicole fell backward, landing squarely on her butt, ending up in a pathetic state.

“Neera! You’ve gone too far!”

Embarrassed by her state, Nicole flushed bright red and started shrieking shrilly.

Neera gazed down at her condescendingly with a smirk playing on her lips.

“Ms. Meyer, it’s not right to slander others. From the moment we met, you’ve been targeting me. Be it in words or actions, you’ve been the more arrogant one. Your fall just now was your own doing, so how am I the one who has gone too far? When speaking, you must have evidence. You can’t just accuse others.”

After she had finished speaking, she pointed to her wristwatch. With a faint smile, she said, “I’m sorry, but I’m in a rush, so I can’t help you up.”

Nicole watched as she crossed the street and got into the car, her eyes practically blazing with fury.

From the moment they first met, she took an instant dislike to Neera.

Later, at the World Medical Alliance, it was because of Neera that her rank was demoted, and she had many points deducted.

Right then, Neera even showed up at her house and behaved rudely toward her.

Verily, she found it all too much.

Her gaze was fixed intently on Neera’s departing car. Then, she returned home with fury radiating off her entire body.

George had already gone to the study to help arrange matters related to the heart.

Meanwhile, Leopold was still seated on the couch. He had his head slightly lowered, lost in thought.

Hearing the racket, he turned around, only to be somewhat surprised. “What’s the matter? Why are you in such a temper?”

Nicole didn’t even greet him, demanding outright, “Why did that woman come to our house?”

Leopold was taken aback momentarily before he realized who she was talking about. “You’ve met Ms.

Garcia?”

“Ms. Garcia?” Nicole was fuming, her aura intimidating as she reproached him, “You sure are polite.

Where were you when she was bullying me just now?”

Leopold frowned. “Bullying you? What do you mean?”

“You don’t understand it? It’s exactly as it sounds! I saw her and asked her what she was doing at my house, but she just ignored me and acted like she didn’t hear me, continuing on her way. I told her she was rude, and she had the audacity to accuse me of being ill-mannered! She even dared to push me!

Look at my dress! It’s all dirty because ‘she pushed me to the ground!”

Nicole twisted the truth, conveniently blaming everything on Neera.
