Jean briefly explained, “My mother was poisoned. That potent poison nearly took her life. It was Neera
who relentlessly worked on antidotes. She also performed surgery, which improved her condition
significantly.”
This revelation surprised Adriana.
She was aware that Neera was working on an antidote, but she had no idea that she would go to such
lengths for Jean’s mother.
Didn’t they have a contractual marriage? Why would she…
Although she had her doubts, she masked them well.
She nodded and said, “If it’s a matter of life and death, it makes sense for Neera to be so devoted. I
heard from Neera that your mother isn’t… exactly fond of her?”
Her question was direct, catching Jean off guard.
Jean was astounded that Adriana was so direct.
Swiftly, he responded, “My apologies, my mother is somewhat particular about those in my social
circle.”
Adriana seemed unimpressed, stating bluntly, “I couldn’t care less about her being picky about others!
Neera is an exceptional woman. If your mother can’t see that, I question her judgment. I get that
families like yours prioritize lineage, but know this, our family is on par.
“I have never married, but I treat her like my own daughter. I cherish her greatly. I value her deeply.
Don’t underestimate her due to your family’s supposed prestige. It pains me to see her distressed. I
can’t bear to be strict with her. All I desire is for her to lead a content and peaceful life. No one,
including your family, should dare wrong her. Got it?”
Adriana’s tone was assertive and firm.
Few would have the nerve to confront Jean so boldly.
However, Jean wasn’t offended. On the contrary, he listened attentively.
He nodded solemnly and said, “I get it. Rest assured, I’ll stand by her side. I’ll find a way to change my
mother’s attitude.”
Seeing his sincerity and solemn response, Adriana’s stern gaze softened.
This young man is likable and quite the looker too!
After hearing their conversation, Neera was deeply touched. She always knew her aunt was fond of
her, but the depth of her affection was now evident.
Later, Jean went to visit his mother, allowing Adriana and Neera some privacy.
After he left. Adriana sat beside Neera.
She peeled an orange for her as she asked curiously, “While overseas, I heard the Beauvorts’ heir was
on his deathbed. But he looks perfectly fine to me?”
He’s dignified and well-spoken. Quite the catch. Certainly superior to Zachary in many ways. Why,
then, would such a man be subject to such ill rumors?
Confused, she questioned, “Are those rumors fabricated?”
Her confusion amused Neera.
“A lot of those stories were accurate. Initially, he was in dire health and spiritless. His sheer
determination kept him alive. He was very weak. It’s commendable how he managed his enterprise
despite his sickness.”
“How did he recover?”
“He recuperated under my care. Our contractual marriage is a mutually beneficial arrangement.”
“I see,” Adriana finally gets the full picture.
She pursed her lips and said, “I disagree; that’s mutually beneficial! Their family bagged an invaluable
daughter-in-law, a medical prodigy at that. They hit the jackpot. After all, curing Jean is priceless
compared to a mere 1.3 billion dollars. How dare they belittle you?”
