Chapter 789 The Greatest Secret âShe didnât,â Obadiah explained, sighing. âIâve made numerous phone calls and asked friends to keep an eye out for her, but I canât reach or locate her.â
âIâm sorry, Neera,â he said, wearing an apologetic expression.
âThora has gone too far. I understand that words cannot compensate for her actions. I wanted her to apologize to you in person, but I have no idea where she has gone.â
A bitter grin crossed his face as he spoke. His eyes were filled with remorse and guilt.
âAt the end of the day, Iâm to blame. She acted recklessly and made such a mess because I didnât raise her well.â
Neera shook her head. She didnât hold it against him.
Thora wasnât a threeâyearâold. She was an adult who knew what was right and wrong. Her own malicious intent was what led her astray.
However, she did not express these feelings in front of him. She simply nodded and did not pursue the subject further.
She got up and left after they talked for a while longer.
Her gentle expression turned cold once she was in the car. Her eyes squinted slightly.
Thora was nowhere to be found in Kingsview. She had nowhere else to go and should have returned home. Her father stated that he had not seen her. There are only two possibilities. Mr. Hanson was either hiding something or Thora was too afraid to come home.
She had faith in Mr. Hansonâs character.
After some thought, she believes the latter was more likely.
When she returned to the office, she summoned Neil.
âIs there a way to send someone to find out where Thora is hiding?â she wondered.
Neil responded quickly, âNo problem, Iâll send someone to check.â
Kingsview.
Jeanâs health had significantly improved. The next day, he went to work.
When he returned to the office, he restructured the entire organization.
He took swift and decisive action, showing no signs of favoritism. Almost all of the shareholders.
who had any connection to Clarence were thoroughly purged.
In just one morning, the Beauvort Groupâs whole situation changed in a big way. Fearing for their own positions, everyone kept their opinions to themselves.
Jean went home in the afternoon after dealing with pressing matters.
He recalled Neeraâs advice, where he needed to rest more and worry less until he recovered completely. She would be furio The coldness in his brows melted if he disobeyed.
dy as he remembered her delicate face.
When he reached his villa, he paused at the front door and looked over at the house next to it.
Feelings of longing tugged at his heart.
He abruptly changed directions and proceeded to the neighboring house.
His longing for Neera and the kids was like a series of crashing tides, even though they had been apart for only a few days.
Auntie Zuniga was doing some housekeeping inside the villa.
When she saw him, she smiled and asked, âMr. Beauvort, would you like some tea?â
âDonât mind me,â Jean said, shaking his head. âIâm just looking around; you donât have to entertain me.â
Auntie Zuniga understood and went to work in the kitchen.
Jean stood alone in the living room after Auntie Zuniga had left, scanning the surroundings.
The home had the same vibe as before Neera left, but since she had left, there had been a subtle change.
and sitting down. He could still smell her distinctive perfume, which seemed to be lingering in the air.
He closed his eyes and experienced a soothing tenderness.
Then, he went to study.
He couldnât resist the urge to enter the tripletsâ room as he passed by it.
The space had been thoughtfully designed with kidâfriendly elements.
By the window were a sizable desk and three frog chairs. The drawings of the triplets were spreadâ
across the desk. A nearby cabinet housed a variety of toys and figurines.
Jean couldnât contain his glee at the sight of such childish trinkets.
He reached out to touch a particularly adorable robot on the cabinet.
To his surprise, the robot came to life, waving its tiny arms and exclaiming in a childish tone, âDonât audacious human! I am Plutoâs King. I will punish you in the name of my people!â
touch me, Jean was surprised that it made a sound.
He was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.
This procedure was specifically designed. It must be Sammyâs doing.
The little guy was sneaky and clever. That boy was skilled at putting these small robots together.
The image of the quirky child tinkering with these toys warmed his heart.
When he noticed a button on the robot, he assumed it was the power button. He picked up the robot, intending to turn it off.
The robot began to become more animated. He roared, âYou stupid human, donât touch me! I am the keeper of the universeâs greatest secret.â
Jean, amused, was about to turn it off. He pressed the button.

To his surprise, the robot let out a painful cry. With a snapping noise, it snapped in half, exposing a folded note inside.
