Chapter 788

Chapter 788 Protecting Neera Zephyr hesitated briefly and said, “Thora didn’t run away on her own; John’s people took her.”

This revelation did not surprise Jean. I had suspected it from the moment Neera spoke to me. I knew that Neera was trying to protect him from getting involved.

“Where is John?” Jean asked nonchalantly.

“I went to the manor earlier and found it empty now. Both John and Jeffrey are gone, and the headquarters of the Shadow Clan are also still unknown,” Zephyr replied.

Jean nodded and said, “Storm will assist in the investigation. Let’s pool our resources and rescue Thora. We can’t let her die.”

“Alright, got it.”

Storm immediately accepted the task.

Zephyr hesitated briefly upon hearing Jean’s words and remained silent.

After their brief conversation, Jean turned and left. Zephyr finally felt relieved and was about to leave.

However, Ian suddenly grabbed his shoulder and said, “Zephyr, don’t go just yet.”

Zephyr was somewhat impatient and asked, “What do you want?”

Ian smiled and said, “We’ve got some important business to discuss; didn’t you hear Mr. Jean? We can’t let Thora die. You know how she implicated Mr. Jean and Mrs. Beauvort in the past, right? So, how can we let her go unpunished?”

Zephyr was not initially interested in Ian’s talk but was stunned when he heard Ian’s words.

“What do you suggest?” Zephyr coldly said.

Ian grinned and said, “Thora attacked Mr. Jean when he was seriously ill, almost costing him his life.

And Mrs. Beauvort suffered greatly because of her and had lost a lot of weight. So we must teach her a lesson. Zephyr, let’s cooperate and work things out.”

Sparing his words, Zephyr asked, “What’s your plan?”

Ian chuckled and said, “I knew you’d be on board. Storm, come over here.”

Soon, they huddled together, whispering and plotting.

When Jean went upstairs, the triplets had already finished their baths and were ready for bed. Upon seeing him, the triplets rushed towards him.

The triplets surrounded Jean, and he smiled gently.

“Aren’t you supposed to be going to bed? Why are you still awake?”

The triplets tugged at Jean’s hand and gestured for him to crouch down. Jean frowned and crouched down as they wished. Suddenly, each of them kissed Jean softly.

With their cute, deliberately subdued voices, they whispered in Jean’s ear, “Goodnight, Daddy!”

Afterward, they turned back and climbed into bed, covering themselves with their blankets.

Jean felt heart–warmed and softly replied, “Goodnight.”

Later, Jean and Neera left the room and spent some time together before heading to their respective rooms. Just as he was about to enter the bathroom to freshen up, he received a call from Frederic and Wrenn.

On the other end, Wrenn’s voice sounded somewhat anxious.

“Jean, when are you coming back? And what about Neera and the triplets? Are they coming back too?”

Jean replied coldly, “We won’t be coming back anytime soon.”

Wrenn was on speakerphone In the Beauvort family Manor, and Frederic immediately grew agitated upon hearing Jean’s response.

“Why aren’t you coming back? Is it because Neera doesn’t want to? No matter what, the triplets belong to our family…”

Have Jean’s face turned gloomy as he heard this. Then he said, “Of course, she doesn’t want to go back!

all forgotten how you treated the triplets before? Don’t expect Neera to act as if nothing ever happened!

She has feelings too!”
