Chapter 974

After Gale and William got in the car, the confidant who had been following them couldn’t help but ask, “Your Highness, can we trust this Mr. Beauvort?”

Gale glanced at him nonchalantly. “What are you trying to say?”

“His capabilities are truly immense. Could there be any disadvantages for you in the future? Should we… be a bit more cautious?”

After hearing this, Gale didn’t take it to heart at all. Without a second thought, he flatly refused.

“You’re overthinking it. Do you really think someone like him would be interested in my position? Don’t bring this up again. Besides, he’s the one who saved my life. If he hadn’t helped me back then, I wouldn’t be sitting here comfortably today.”

At this point, he paused. “If this matter can be handled smoothly, it will only benefit my ascension to the throne in the future, not harm it. Once that happens, my position will be completely secure. This is a favor I owe him.”

Hearing that, his confidant didn’t dare to bring it up again.

After finishing up his work at the company, Jean went to pick up Neera from her job.

The two of them went home together, sharing laughter and conversation with the children over dinner, and later spent some time playing in the yard.

At first, the three little ones were quite excited. But once the thrill had passed, they began to feel bored.

No longer in the mood to play, they sat on the swing, gazing at the deep blue night sky as they murmured, “I wonder what Ace, Cece, and Pixie are doing right now. Do you think they miss us?”

“I miss them. I want to hug them, walk with them, and play with them.”

“I wonder if they’ve been eating well during this time? Have they gained any weight?”

Listening to the three little ones chattering about their cute pets, Jean gently pinched Neera’s fingers.

“Should we take the kids back to our home country for a trip? They can see the dogs, and we can.

bring them back with us later.”

Before Neera could even respond, the three little ones had already excitedly jumped off the swing and ran over.

“That’s a great idea! Daddy, when can we go back?”

The triplets had a fondness for their homeland.

If it hadn’t been for their grandaunt’s poor health, which had them rushing back to Essley, they wouldn’t have wanted to leave.

Jean chuckled. “I don’t get to decide; I’m just making a suggestion. The final decision is up to your mommy.”

After saying that, he turned to Neera, a smile playing on his lips as he asked, “What do you think?”

12:05 Wed, 25 Oct mommy.

After saying that, he turned to Neera, a smile playing on his lips as he asked, “What do you think?”

In truth, Jean did not suddenly propose to return to the country as an impulse.

The situation in Essley was a bit chaotic at the moment, and the black market was involved as well.

There was sure to be unrest in the near future.

Hence, he wanted to seize this opportunity to take them back to their homeland for a respite.

Neera found herself in a bit of a dilemma as she looked into the expectant eyes of the three children.

“It’s not that I don’t want to go back; it’s just that there’s so much going on here. Aunt Adriana’s health has only just started to improve, and there’s so many matters I have to handle at the company. I don’t think I can—”

As she was speaking, Adriana’s voice suddenly came from behind her.

“Go on back; you can work remotely. Besides, Neil is here. It’s not like there’s anything serious, so you don’t have to handle everything personally.”

Glancing back, Neera saw her aunt and Chad entering from the door.

“Aunt Adriana, you’re back so soon? Weren’t you on a date with Uncle Chad?”

Adriana smiled and replied, “We had dinner together and took a stroll by the river before we came back.”

Chad adjusted her coat for her. “The wind by the river is quite chilly at night. I was afraid she might catch a cold, so we came back early.”

“Enough about me. Weren’t we discussing you going back to our homeland? Perfect, I’ll join you on this trip back.”

Upon hearing this, Neera was quite surprised. “Why do you suddenly want to go back?”

Adriana’s voice carried a hint of helplessness. “I’m getting married, so I must go back to tell your grandparents in person. I also need to inform them about Alfonso and Roxanne’s situation. Additionally, I have to handle the follow-up matters of Garcia Group. I can’t just leave it hanging indefinitely. The sooner it’s resolved, the sooner I can let go of the burden in my heart.”

Neera frowned, “Garcia Group is bankrupt. What’s left to deal with?”

“Previously, Alfonso borrowed quite a bit of money from the black market to barely keep some projects alive. Now, even though the company has gone bankrupt, those projects are still surviving, if barely. I had instructed Levi to handle it temporarily, but it’s about time to go back and tie up loose ends.”
