Chapter 1368

Neera could tell from Nicole’s expression that her guess was correct.

It seemed that Nicole had independently decided and carried out the matter.

George might still be unaware that his granddaughter had his heart in her hands.

On her way there, Neera had considered whether or not to contact George.

However, she hesitated when she thought about the possibility of Nicole damaging the heart if she reached out to George. It wouldn’t be worth it.

She would never undertake anything uncertain or risky.

Therefore, she chose not to contact George and went there herself.

In that moment, she gathered her thoughts and fixed her gaze directly on Nicole. “Where is the heart?

Where is it?”

Nicole raised her delicate eyebrow slightly, giving a subtle signal to the bodyguard behind her.

Understanding Nicole’s intentions, they immediately stepped aside with their companions.

A large organ storage box then appeared before Neera’s eyes.

Neera stared for a few seconds, swallowed, and kept her emotions calm and composed.

Nicole only glanced once, seemingly uninterested, and casually started admiring her own manicure.

“See? Now, you should know what to do, Neera. As long as you lower your proud head today, kneel before me in humility, and beg for my forgiveness, I will show great mercy and let bygones be bygones.

If you want to take away the heart, then it’s yours.”-

Neera’s face was expressionless, but inside, she was sneering. She’s foolish, insane, and vindictive, completely devoid of reason or sense. It’s really baffling. Both Mr. Meyer and Mr. Leopold are such refined gentlemen. How could there be such a worthless person in their family?

She didn’t respond immediately, nor did she move, as if she was contemplating something.

Nicole was growing impatient and reminded, “Neera, aren’t you in a hurry to save someone? There isn’t much time to waste. Are you sure you want to spend it here with me? Besides, even if you’re willing to waste time, I certainly don’t have the leisure to accompany you.”

After she finished speaking, she gave a meaningful glance to the two people behind Neera.

With that, the two bodyguards stepped forward and rather rudely shoved Neera. “What are you standing there for? Didn’t you hear what Ms. Meyer said? She told you to kneel! Hurry up!”

Neera took two staggering steps forward, frowning. She cast a cold glance over her shoulder.

For some reason, even though her gaze wasn’t particularly lethal, the two of them were still taken aback. It was as if they were stunned by the chilling aura she revealed in an instant.

However, it was only a fleeting moment, and they quickly reverted to their previous demeanor. “What are you staring at? Kneel down immediately. Ms. Meyer is getting impatient. If she gets upset, things won’t be as simple!”

Neera would rather not bother arguing with those two people, so she turned her head to look at Nicole.

“Are you really going to act like this? Nicole, we have no grudges against each other. The previous two arguments were initiated by your rudeness. Instead of reflecting on your own issues, you vent your anger on me. Don’t you think that’s unreasonable? If Mr. Meyer finds out about today’s incident, I wonder how he will reprimand you. After all, the Meyer family is a respected lineage of doctors and scholars. As a member of the Meyer family, your actions are a disgrace to your family’s reputation.”

Nicole hummed in annoyance, her face full of impatience. “What are you babbling about? You do as I say. Don’t forget, the heart is in my hands now. You’re at my mercy, and all you can do is comply obediently. I’m warning you, while I’m still in a good mood, you better satisfy me quickly. Otherwise, you can forget about getting this heart!”

Upon hearing that, Neera pursed her lips, letting out an ambiguous sigh. “I did give you a chance, you know.”

Upon hearing, Nicole furrowed her brows. “What are you muttering about-”

Before she could finish her sentence, Neera suddenly spun around unexpectedly, swiftly jabbing something into the two men with a raised hand.

Meanwhile, the two of them shuddered, their eyes wide open in shock, as if they were frozen in place, unable to move their bodies.

Nicole frowned, her previous languid demeanor vanished without a trace. With a swift motion, she stood up.

“What have you done? What happened to them?” she demanded shrilly.

Neera flexed her wrist, turned around, and grinned, yet there was not a trace of amusement in her eyes.

She lifted her hand, a silver needle pinched between her fingertips. Under the pouring sunlight, it emitted a glimmer of light. “It’s nothing serious. I’ve just immobilized them by blocking their meridian points. They can’t move, that’s all.”

The color drained from Nicole’s face, her teeth clenched as she glared at Neera. “You! How dare you oppose me!”

Neera smiled slightly. “Why not? This is just the tip of the iceberg.”

As soon as she spoke, the two people behind the couch immediately became alert, ready to step forward and restrain Neera.

However, Neera didn’t give them that opportunity.

Two petite daggers suddenly appeared in her right hand.

Her eyes were cold and focused. With a swift flick of her wrist, she sent two daggers flying through the air like the wind, aimed directly at the two individuals.

In the next moment, cries of pain echoed. The daggers, unerring, had lodged themselves in the men’s shoulders.

Seizing the opportunity, Neera suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Nicole by the collar and pressing her onto the couch.

Almost at the same moment, a silver needle was pressed against Nicole’s neck. “Dare to make a move, and I’ll paralyze you on the spot!”

The two bodyguards snapped to attention, ready to rush forward, but they were halted by Nicole’s sharp command. “Don’t come over here!”

At that very moment, she slumped onto the couch in an extremely awkward and unattractive position.

Her face was filled with terror, her eyelashes drooping as she tried to get a clear view of the silver needle pointed at her chin.
