Chapter 1502

“Don’t worry, Jean. I will definitely be there. Although my sister and I are not related by blood, we are closer than if we were. Naturally, I will be there to see her off on her glorious wedding day.”

At this point, his eyes began to well up with warmth again.

“My sister has always treated me with all her heart since we were kids. Even in such circumstances, she always protected me. Jean, you must treat her well. Please, never let her suffer any more hardships. Sis really has had it tough…”

His voice choked up as if he couldn’t continue speaking. He poured himself another glass of water and downed it in one gulp.

Jean noticed it, a slight shift in his gaze, his tone serious, but he didn’t say much, only stating, “Rest assured.”

Just two short words, yet they carry an undeniable force, like a promise.

Neera witnessed it all and felt a slight sting in her nose.

She laughed lightly, breaking the heavy atmosphere. “Oh, come on. Enough of this serious talk. Let’s sit down and eat before the food gets cold.”

Wilfrid obediently followed along, eating and chatting with them.

After leaving the restaurant, Neera and Jean escorted Wilfrid back to the cafe.

After getting out of the car, Neera stopped him and gently said, “Wilfrid, you have your own thoughts, and I respect them. I don’t want to force you, but I still hope you will think carefully about your present and future. Understand what you really want. Don’t get your priorities wrong and miss a big opportunity over a trifling matter. Don’t let yourself regret today’s choices for the rest of your life. If you’ve made up your mind and decided to continue juggling part-time work and studies, I won’t interfere anymore. I respect your choice. If you choose to quit this job, I’ll support you just the same. I hope you can work hard, hold on until the very end, and get into the university you’ve always dreamed of. During this time, if you don’t want to ask your family for money, just use that card for all your expenses. I’ll say it again-

that card is not a gift; it’s a loan. Every cent you spend, you’ll have to pay me back in the future. I’m waiting for the day when you achieve success and fame so I can bask in your glory.”

Listening to Neera’s gentle and soft words, Wilfrid felt incredibly moved.

He had always known that Neera was a very sensible person. She would never force him to do anything. Instead, she would explain the pros and cons and leave the decision to him, allowing him to take responsibility for his own choices and actions.

Only Neera could see him as an independent individual.

He took a deep breath, looked up at Neera, and said, “I understand, Sis. Don’t worry. I will take responsibility for my own future.”

Neera nodded with relief. “Okay, I believe in you.”

Before she left, she reminded him, “I see you’ve lost some weight recently. Make sure to keep up with your meals, and don’t overwork yourself. Also, try to spend less time online. Don’t take what people say on the internet to heart. You just need to focus on your own affairs. Everything else is none of your business.”

Wilfrid was very obedient. He complied without a fuss.

Soon, Neera and Jean left in their car.

10:42 Mon, In the car, Jean glanced at Neera. “Have you made up your mind?”

Neera’s face remained expressionless as she nodded slightly. “Hmm, Wilfrid is a sensible child. He understands’ everything. Before, my only concern was him. As long as it doesn’t affect him, I have nothing else to worry about.”

She had already prepared the evidence in her hands. All she needed to do was to post it online.

Without uttering a single word, anyone with a brain would be able to figure out what was really going on.

However, what they didn’t anticipate was that during the time they were dining with Wilfrid, the internet had already exploded with earth-shattering changes.

Recently, a netizen revealed that they spotted Neera at a cafe.

Then someone stepped forward, explaining that the reason Neera appeared there was to meet her younger brother.

This move immediately sparked a wave of collective mockery.

Someone commented: Oh, so now you remember that you have a younger brother? Only now have you decided to find him. How insincere of you! Who are you trying to put on a show for?

Another person wrote: Disgusting! If I were her brother, I would have splashed a cup of coffee in her face a long time ago. And to think of going along with her? In your dreams!

A netizen wrote: Poor little brother, he should be focusing on his studies at this crucial time, but because of Neera’s lack of conscience, he’s burdened with heavy responsibilities at such a young age, alas…

Another commenter wrote: I can’t help but wonder, what’s Neera’s game, running off to him at this hour? Could it be that she’s trying to use him to achieve some goal? Or perhaps she’s trying to clear her own name?

Someone posted: Pfft, what kind of sweet dream is she having? Even in this situation, she’s still thinking about clearing her name? Rest assured. It’s not going to happen. Does she think everyone else is a fool?

A netizen wrote: Who knows what she’s scheming this time? Maybe she’s using coercion or temptation, trying to get her little brother to speak on her behalf…

While everyone was engaged in heated discussions, suddenly, a piece of news shot up the trending list.

Its popularity was soaring. As soon as it appeared, it dominated the top spot.

It was an interview video featuring none other than Nigel and Maggie!

In the video, the images of Nigel and Maggie appeared quite pitiful. Their faces looked much older than before, with clear wrinkles, and their clothes seemed very shabby. Their hunched shoulders easily evoked sympathy from everyone.

Moreover, one of Nigel’s arms was heavily bandaged and suspended. He looked quite disheveled.

Facing the camera, they appeared timid and helpless, truly embodying the demeanor of honest and simple poor folks.

Reporters were firing questions at them one by one, all related to Neera.

Naturally, the responses from Nigel and Maggie were not in favor of speaking well of Neera. Instead, they were busy playing the victim.

It was especially for Maggie; her demeanor was extremely agitated as if she could faint at any moment.

“That girl… She’s nothing but an ungrateful wretch. I never thought she could be so cruel, letting her man attack us, hitting me and even my husband. Look at what they’ve done to my husband’s arm! He can’t even move it. He nearly became crippled!”

At this moment, Nigel also began to speak, his voice slightly hoarse.

“Exactly, I can take a beating. I’m a man, so I can endure. But they even kicked my wife! This is something I can’t swallow, no matter what! But… But how can I possibly fight against the Beauvort family? That d*mn girl… Conspiring with the Beauvort family. They’re trying to bully us to death! We’re in a situation where the weak can’t defeat the strong. We’re truly at our wits’ end…”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Maggie creatively voiced her complaints about Neera in front of the camera.

This interview was almost unedited when it was released.

The attitude of the news media was all in favor of these two elders. Although they dared not utter a word against the Beauvort family, they could openly condemn Neera.

Naturally, the general public began to direct their criticism toward Neera. The comments, became increasingly harsh, with some even calling for her to be expelled from the medical community.

Someone wrote: This kind of person… Undeserving of their position! Why should they receive such high honor?

Another person commented: This is absolutely outrageous! Neera is not even worthy to be called a human, I tell you. That couple should never have adopted her in the first place! She deserves to be begging on the streets or even starve to death! That way, there wouldn’t be such a thing as biting the hand that feeds you!

A netizen wrote: D*mn it. Is she even human? She dares to hit people? She thinks she’s all that just because she’s associated with the Beauvort family, huh? If it weren’t for the Beauvort family, what would she, Neera, amount to? So what if she has a bit of medical knowledge? What’s so great about that? Does she really think that no one else can cure diseases? Does she think she’s the best in the world? Bullsh*t! What a joke!

Someone else wrote: She is truly shameless! How disgusting!
