Chapter 1165 Scandalous
The next morning, Neera got up very early.
After changing her medication, she freshened up and tidied herself. Then she went downstairs.
As expected, she immediately spotted both Robin and Baxter.
“Good morning,” she greeted, her tone unhurried and calm.

Robin smiled and nodded at her, asking with concern, “How have you been resting these past two days? Is your injury getting
better?”
Neera smiled. “Thank you for your concern. I’m feeling much better now.”
Beside him, Baxter began to speak in an ambiguous tone.
“If you’re not feeling well, there’s no need to push yourself to go in person. After all, your status as the head of the Gordon family
doesn’t carry much weight.”
Upon seeing him start the conversation with a provocation, Shane’s brows immediately furrowed.
“Granduncle Baxter, Neera’s position as the heir is already well-established, beyond any doubt. There is no, need to keep
bringing it up, is there?”
Baxter grunted, about to say something, but was interrupted by Neera.
“Mr. Baxter, you really are fickle. When I previously mentioned that I had no interest in the district president’s election and had no
plans to participate, you seemed quite dissatisfied. So why are you saying this now? It seems like whether I go or not, it doesn’t
please you.”
Her tone was even, laced with a hint of jest, yet she was subtly mocking him.
“However, there’s no need for you to worry about what I should do, Mr. Baxter. As the heir of the Gordon family, it’s not anyone
else’s place to interfere with my decisions. If you’re dissatisfied, you’re more than welcome to leave now. I can arrange for
someone to escort you.”
This single sentence left Baxter completely speechless, his face turning unsightly for a moment.
Robin watched from the side, a subtle curve forming at the corner of his mouth. He found himself quite fond of Neera’s quick wit.
Afterwards, the group embarked on their journey toward District Twenty-One.
After roughly four hours of flight, the plane touched down.
The district president election this time was quite grand. As the host, District Twenty-One had already arranged everything, down
to every last detail, properly.
Someone was assigned to pick them up at the airport and take them to the hotel.
Shane had already booked a room in advance-a duplex presidential suite.
“Are we all going to live together?” Neera was a bit uncomfortable with the idea at first.
There would certainly be no problem to stay together with Shane.

However, Avery would also be there.

She had previously stayed temporarily at the Cox residence, causing a lot of trouble and misunderstandings, which became
widely known to everyone.
If they were to stay together now, who knew what kind of scandalous rumors would be circulating this time?
Avery noticed her apprehension and a fleeting glint of understanding flashed across his eyes.
“The Gordon and Cox families have always been on good terms. Living in the same suite won’t raise any eyebrows. Besides,
we’re on someone else’s turf here. Staying close to each other has its advantages.”
Shane also thought the same. “There might still be people watching you in secret, planning to do something harmful to you. We
feel more at ease being by your side to protect you.”
Hearing that, Neera would seem a bit pretentious if she said anything more.
In the end, all she could do was nod and walk in.
They had to admit that extravagance was truly displayed everywhere in Phison.
This hotel, from the outside, looked incredibly grand, and the interior decor was even more luxurious and splendid.
This presidential suite truly epitomized the height of opulence.
It was just a temporary stopover, yet everywhere you look. It was filled with top-notch furnishings and decorations.
Neera’s gaze was instantly drawn to the porcelain vase on the display rack. She walked over, unable to resist touching it.
Shane saw and said, “Are you interested in porcelain? This is an antique left from six hundred years ago. If you like it, I can
speak to the hotel and buy it directly for you.’
S-Six hundred years ago?
Neera was taken aback and quickly withdrew her hand.
It wasn’t hard to imagine how this piece of artifact would cost.
She looked around and dared not touch anything around there anymore. Then, she turned to ask about her own room. “Which
one is mine? Is it arranged?”
Shane lifted his chin slightly. “You can stay upstairs. Avery and I will be downstairs, and Zephyr and the others will be next door.”
After assigning the rooms, Neera carried her luggage and went to her room first.
Everyone else also went back to their rooms to take a good rest.
That evening, during dinner, Irwin came over.
“Mr. Cox, we just received a notice from Bartitsu Guild. They are planning a meeting at Fighting Arts Guild tomorrow. Here is the
invitation.”
