Chapter 206 Can You Get A Divorce?

Isabella’s anger grew as her face contorted with fury.

Neera could hear the genuine concern and worry in her voice.

She felt warmth spreading through her heart when she understood where Isabella was coming from.

“So, that’s what you were talking about. I wasn’t deliberately trying to keep it from you. It’s just that I’ve been busy with everything going on these past few days. That’s why I hadn’t had the chance to tell you about it. Besides, the situation is a little complicated. Long story short

She provided a concise account of the recent events.

Isabella angrily got to her feet after listening to Neera’s story. “How shameless are they? They don’t want Roxanne marrying into the Beauvort family but they want the benefits of being connected to them.

They pressured you into being a substitute bride! They even threatened you with the triplets! They want the best of both worlds!”

“And there’s Alfonso. He doesn’t deserve to be a father. To think he would force his daughter into that situation for the sake of riches! When will karma come for them?!”

Neera couldn’t help but burst into laughter at her words.

“Why are you still laughing? Look at you. You didn’t even tell me all this was happening! I could’ve helped you I had known. Look what happened. You’re married into the Beauvort family and those despicable people are still trying to tarnish your reputation. It’s so infuriating!”

Neera felt touched to see her friend getting so infuriated on her behalf. She smiled and gestured for her to sit down.

if “Alright, alright. What’s done is done. There’s no use in being angry. Besides, this situation … isn’t quite ideal for them as it seems! Did you think I was going to stand by and watch them reap the benefits?”

A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

Isabella was puzzled. “What does that mean?”

Neera raised a brow. “Their methods are indeed disgusting, but I’m not one to be taken advantage of.

That 1.3 billion dollar dowry? Not a single penny of it reached them. I intercepted it all. They wanted me to be a substitute bride so badly? Well, I made sure they gain nothing from it. This is my way of getting back at them!”

Hearing this, Isabella’s eyes lit up. She immediately felt a sense of satisfaction.

“Nice job! Impressive, Neera! The Garcia family must be seething! Serves them right. They only have themselves to blame! But the Beauvorts seem a bit too generous, right? They’re paying such a high bride price. Is a b*tch like Roxanne worth that much? Ugh! If you ask me, even 10 thousand would be far too much!”

Her concern for Neera didn’t abate even after venting her anger. “What … are you going to do now?

You married into the Beauvort family. Can’t you get a divorce? You’ve just managed to create a life for yourself. Why won’t those shameless people leave you alone even after your return to Kingsview?!”

Neera found the entire situation amusing. “I … don’t think that’s an option for now.”

She didn’t mention the matter of her contractual marriage to Jean for fear that her best friend would worry.

After a short pause, she added, “You don’t have to worry. I’m doing fine in the Beauvort family.”

12:49 Mon, 28 Aug isabella pursed her lips. “How am I supposed to not worry? Surely you’re aware of the situation with Jean Beauvort …”

She didn’t want her best friend to end up a widow!

Neera, however, wasn’t too concerned.

Isabella, realizing there was little she could do to change things, had no choice but to accept things as they

were.

She seemed to remember something and quickly asked, “What’s the deal with the recent rumors? Do you know?”

Neera narrowed her eyes. “It was probably Roxanne who spread the rumor. The person that was with me today was Jean. It wasn’t some guy with a pretty face. Don’t worry about it. I already explained the situation to the Beauvort family.”

“Why is she so persistent?! She’s as despicable as ever

Isabella couldn’t help but continue to swear for a while longer before finally stopping.

Afterward, the two didn’t discuss the matter further and went inside to spend time with the triplets.

Isabella stayed over at night.

The next morning, after breakfast, she advised Neera, “No matter what happens, you have to tell me first, got it? Don’t hide anything!”

“I know,” Neera responded with a smile and watched as her friend left.

Once Isabella left, Neera dropped the triplets off at the kindergarten before heading to the company.

As soon as she entered her office, Levi approached her with a report. “The preparations for the advertisement shoot at Star Entertainment Media are underway. It could begin as early as the day after tomorrow.”

She was amazed.

The efficiency of the Beauvort Group was truly remarkable!

For the rest of the day, she dealt with work matters at the company.

She left early that afternoon to go to the research center to pick up the medication.

The medications were for Jean; the ones he had been using were running low, so they had to be replenished.

She was kept busy till the evening.

It was just in time to pick the triplets up from school. She set off.

On the way back, she noticed that the children seemed exceptionally excited.

“Did something good happen? All of you look happy,” she asked with a smile.

Their eyes sparkled as they replied, “Of course we’re happy. It’s the weekend tomorrow. We’re going out to play with Uncle Jean. Did you forget, Mommy?”
