SWNOVELS Chapter 1129
Chapter 1129 No One Dare To Bully
The outside world was buzzing with discussions.
Some people were saying that the successor was a greenhorn who wasn’t even part of the family and that there was no way she
could keep the Gordon family in check.
That afternoon, at the Lordsworth Estate in District One of Phison, Jean was listening to Tiago reporting on that matter.
“Now, every district is focusing on Mrs. Beauvort, questioning whether she has the capability to take on the role of the Gordon
family’s head.” At that point, Tiago paused, carefully choosing his words, trying to express what came next as tactfully as
possible. “Most people are skeptical about Mrs. Beauvort, not holding out much hope for her. After all, she’s so young, and they
don’t know about her reputation or experiences before. Hence, it’s understandable. Some even say that once she enters the
Gordon family, she’ll be at their mercy. One can only imagine the kind of difficulties she’ll face when she returns to the Gordon
family. These are all inevitable. What’s worse, the old folks in the Gordon family may even harm her for power...”
Tiago had thoroughly investigated everything about Neera in a single day. His findings included matters related to the Cox and
Gordon families.
After hearing that, lan exclaimed, “Now that’s what I call impressive! Mrs. Beauvort is truly awesome. She’s become a well-
known figure throughout Phison as soon as she arrived!”
Tiago glanced at him, speaking leisurely. “There’s even more impressive gossip out there. People are saying that Mrs. Beauvort
and Avery are engaged. What’s with the situation? Isn’t the Cox and Gordon families’ engagement still not finalized? How did this
news spread?”
lan hadn’t anticipated that turn of events. He immediately closed his mouth, not daring to utter a word. He stared at Jean
nervously, fearing the latter might explode in anger.
Indeed, Jean was on the verge of losing his temper. He was scowling and was in an extremely foul mood.
Every time he thought of Neera having to face all those troubles, he felt both heartache and worry.
Tiago looked at Jean’s face. Instead of scared, he was rather quite intrigued. The lord I knew always managed to keep his
emotions hidden, making it impossible for anyone to gauge his feelings. I didn’t expect to see a different side of him in this
discussion.
“My Lord, what’s your plan?” He asked, more out of amusement and curiosity than anything else
What’s the plan? Is there even a need to ask me that? My only plan is to rush to Neera’s side and support her. I’m curious to see,
with me around, who would dare to bully her! thought Jean.
lan knew Jean too well, so he immediately tried to dissuade the latter. “Mr. Beauvort, you mustn’t go looking for Mrs. Beauvort
right now. District Fourteen is the territory of Bartitsu Guild. If you suddenly appear there and word gets out, it will definitely cause
a lot of trouble! Moreover, at present, aside from us, no one else knows that you have returned to Phison. If you expose yourself
now...”
Jean certainly knew the consequences, but he couldn’t care less about that.
Just the thought of the troubles Neera would have to face and that insufferable Avery by her side made him almost unable to sit
still.
At that moment, he found lan be too talkative and glared at him.
At that moment, he found lan be too talkative and glared at him.
Tiago hadn’t expected Jean to have that idea, and was even more surprised. Is he really still the lord I know, the one who could
keep calm even in a crisis? It’s such a small matter, and yet he’s in such a rush to find his lover. Indeed, love changes people!
He pondered-for a moment, then said, “It’s indeed not suitable for you to leave right now, My Lord. Even a local gangster is
above the law. If the people in District Fourteen discover you, who knows what kind of trouble may arise? Besides, with the Cox
family around, they will surely protect her.”
Choked on his own saliva, lan suddenly started coughing. All the while, he was giving Tiago meaningful glances as he coughed.
What on earth is Mr. Tiago thinking? Is he trying to hit Mr. Beauvort’s sore point?
Sure enough, upon hearing that, Jean scowled. His brows and eyes were chillingly cold, almost as if the frost in his eyes was
about to solidify.
However, he also knew that he couldn’t disregard the bigger picture.
After a fierce internal struggle, he could only temporarily suppress his anger and worry. In the end, he issued orders to Tiago. “I’ll
refrain from going, but you’ll have to head there on my stead!”
Tiago was stunned, pointing at himself “Me?”
Jean narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice stern. “Yes, you! Tell them that if anyone dares to bully her, they will die! Why should
my woman need the protection of a small fry? Go immediately!”
