Neera nodded. “Yes, that’s my suspicion. However, I can’t make a definitive conclusion based solely on
today’s encounter. I just find it suspicious, that’s all.”
Jean gave a hum of acknowledgment. Pulling her into his embrace, he patiently analyzed the situation
for her.
“Indeed, there’s a real possibility of it. I’ve heard that the relationship between Albert and Avery has
always been strained. However, due to Avery’s status as the head of the family, they’ve had to tolerate
each other. So, it’s not a surprise if there are any underhanded schemes going on behind the scenes.”
At that moment, Neera thought of another possibility. “What if they didn’t just join forces now, have
been in cahoots all along?”
but
Jean looked at her thoughtfully. “Are you suspecting that he is responsible for the death of Avery’s
parents years ago?”
The thought was so audacious and terrifying that Neera couldn’t help but shiver all over.
She swallowed, speaking softly. “It’s not entirely impossible, right? The Cox family is powerful and
vigilant. Also, Avery’s parents are not careless people, yet they didn’t even know they were cursed.
Even when they fell ill, they never suspected anything. This means we can rule out external factors
causing their health to deteriorate. So, the only ones who could have done this is someone within the
family, isn’t that right?”
With a slight squint in his eyes, Jean responded softly, “Hmm, indeed.”
Neera continued rambling on. “Although I don’t know if Avery’s parents ever suspected anyone in their
household back then, it’s clear that the most likely suspects would be those within the family. They
were able to poison the two of them without anyone noticing. If it were outsiders, Avery’s parents would
have surely been on guard. Thus, the close relationship between Albert and the people from Bartitsu
Guild under these circumstances is clearly abnormal.”
At this point, she couldn’t sit still any longer. She quickly got off Jean’s lap and called Zephyr.
“Go and investigate whether Albert had any dealings with Quincy when the previous head of the Cox
family was still around, or if he was particularly close with anyone else from Bartitsu Guild. It’s been a
long time, so it might not be easy to find out. But give it a try and see what you can find. Every bit of
information counts.”
Zephyr immediately accepted the task. As soon as he hung up the phone, he set off to get it done
without a moment’s delay.
Meanwhile, after much thought, Neera decided to send a message to Avery, informing him about the
day’s events. She kept it brief and to the point: Beware of Albert.
The next day, Matthew called again, asking Neera if the Gordon family wanted to accept the third elder
seat.
Neera continued to evade the matter, but this time, she could clearly feel that Matthew was getting
impatient.
Meanwhile, rumors were spreading online at the same time:
Have you heard? It seems that Bartitsu Guild is extending an olive branch to the Gordon family. They
want to win them over and even want the head of the Gordon family to take up the third elder seat in
11
The third elder seat? Isn’t that the previous position of the Cox family’s head!
the ninth elder? This is quite a drastic promotion, isn’t it? Can the other families tolerate this?
Is it fake news? How is it possible? Neera has no qualifications, no experience, and is still so young.
How could she possibly occupy the seat of the third elder? Has Bartitsu Guild gone mad? No matter
how much they want to win her over, they wouldn’t go to this extent, would they?
Am I the only one who noticed something off? I’ve been wanting to ask this for a while now. Weren’t the
Gordon and Cox families always on good terms? So why did the Cox family pledge allegiance to
Lordsworth Estate, while the Gordon family didn’t? Does this mean that the relationship between the
two families has ended or they had a falling out? After all, they are now in two opposing factions…
Whenever gossip was mentioned, the online discussions become even more heated:
Hey, I guess it doesn’t matter anymore. The Cox and Gordon families have always had a tradition of
marriage alliances, but the previous head of the Gordon family didn’t follow through. It was fine back
then since neither family really admired the other, but this time it’s different. Look at how deeply the
head of the Cox family cares for the head of the Gordon family. From the moment she joined Bartitsu
Guild, he’s been protecting her, offering all kinds of help, and even spending a fortune for her. It’s clear
how deep his feelings are for her. But what happened? She spurned him and married another man. If I
were the head of the Cox family, I would definitely sever ties with the Gordon family.
It seems that the head of the Cox family is quite pitiful. Despite his excellent background and sincere
efforts, he was simply discarded after being used. Now, not only has the good relationship between the
two families ended, but they have also become enemies. If Neera really dares to take the third elder
seat, it would mean that she truly has no feelings for him at all and was purely using him.
I’m really puzzled, what on earth is she thinking? Isn’t the head of the Cox family a much better choice
than her husband? What’s so special about him? He might be rich, but the Cox family isn’t short of
money either. Neera really has bad taste.
Jean sat on the balcony, tablet in hand, casually flipping through the comments. His eyebrows cocked
slightly.
Bad taste? Ha!
