Chapter 551 It Feels Good To Be Protected

Based on this explanation, Neera deduced that Marnie had come to confront her.

Security officers stopped her outside the villa area because Imperial Gardens had always had strict security

measures.

Marnie, out of options, asked Adriana to notify the security guards and allow them to enter.

The conflict raged inside the room.

“Alfonso has plotted against Neera several times. It’s about time he started learning! He’s done so many wrong things that he should reflect on his own wrongdoing at the police station! And you should all calm down and think about what you’ve done to Neera recently!

“This is hilarious. You accused Neera of being unfilial. What has she done wrong? Alfonso has always been the one who disregards the father-daughter relationship! Why didn’t you say anything when he cornered Neera and forced her to leave her fingerprint on the document? Isn’t Neera a Garcia as well?

“You should not go too far! Remember, karma has its way. Don’t you worry that too many wrong actions might come back to haunt you?”

Adriana hung up the phone, still fuming with rage.

Neera was moved to tears outside the door. Aunt Adriana has always been so kind to me, she thought quietly.

When Adriana emerged from the room, she was astounded to see the four people at the door. She asked, “Did you all hear that?”

Neera gave a light nod.

“Alfonso and Roxanne will be detained for seven days. Adriana pursed her lips. Your grandmother came here to make a scene, pleading with you to drop the charges. Don’t worry, I didn’t let them in. You don’t have to worry about them.”

“Aunt Adriana, thank you for standing up for me,” Neera said, visibly moved.

“Silly girl, what are you saying?” Adriana pinched her cheek. “We’re a family. Of course, I will stand by your side.”

The triplets rushed over, attempting to console everyone cutely.

“Don’t be upset, Grandaunt. It’s not worth getting angry over bad people.”

“Yes, getting angry will cause wrinkles. You should stay beautiful forever!”

Adriana laughed, and her mood improved noticeably.

“All right, I’ll listen to you. Let’s eat breakfast downstairs!”

After breakfast, Neera went to work and dropped the triplets off at school.

“You shouldn’t drive,” Adriana advised. “Given my understanding of my mother, she’s probably still waiting outside the neighborhood to stop your car.”

Neera frowned worriedly and considered an alternative.

Adriana advised, “Let Jean take you.”

The triplets’ eyes glowed with excitement before Neera could respond.

“This is great, mommy! We’ll tell Uncle Jean about it. Come out quickly!”

Neera was conflicted when she saw their enthusiasm.

Jean next door was not pleased with the news he received from the police station. He asked, “Only detained them for seven days? That is far too lenient!”

lan agreed, saying, “Indeed! The police are lenient because he did not cause significant harm to Ms.

Garcia, and they are blood relatives.”

Jean remained dissatisfied with this. He commanded, “Notify them to detain him for at least half a month.”

lan said, “Understood.”

The triplets ran into the room while the two were talking and relayed the information.

Jean quickly agreed to take Neera and the kids.

When they left Imperial Gardens, they saw Marnie and Gladeon.

Jean appeared dissatisfied. “The villa’s entrance isn’t a place for anyone to linger, let alone make a scene,” he told lan. “Tell the manager that if they don’t want to deal with this, Imperial Gardens will gladly switch to a different property management company.”

Because the Beauvort Group owned Imperial Gardens, he had the authority to change the property management company.

“Alright, Sir,” lan said, “I’ll convey the message as soon as possible.”

The look in Neera’s eyes flickered.

She realized he was doing it for her and the children’s sake.

It would be troubling if those two continued to show up here and cause a commotion. Dealing with them through property management was the best solution.

Other than that, she felt deeply touched.

Except for Aunt Adriana, no one has ever protected me in the past. This man has recently been repeatedly standing up for me. I may not need it, but it feels good. Their protection gave me the impression that there was nothing to be concerned about.

Twenty minutes later, after dropping the triplets off at school, Jean sent Neera to her office.

He stopped her as she exited the car. He said, “I’ll pick you up tonight.”

Neera was about to argue that she could take a taxi, but Jean seemed to anticipate her response and left without giving her a chance to speak.

Neera couldn’t help but smile as she watched his car merge into the traffic.

She then entered the office in a cheerful mo
