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!

It was the result of a cabal that forced Xia Micheng to return from the countryside to assist with her family in the planning of a
great event. She might not have been blessed SENTERIDE with the looks, but she made up for it in her gorgeous medical skills
where she could...
It was autumn in the year 2015 when Xia Micheng took the train to Haicheng City from the countryside.
She had been abandoned in the countryside when she was a nine year-old. It was only on this day that she was finally being
taken back to the city. There was only a single reason for this-the Xia family
