Chapter 323 Iâll Trample on You After twenty minutes. Neera reached Private Room No. 13 at the Phoenix Hotel.
The Garcia family members were already seated inside, awaiting her arrival.
Roxanne had been discharged from the hospital two days ago, and she was now in perfect health. Her pride swelled immensely as she had her grandparentsâ support.
Who told you to go crazy?
Iâll trample on you tonight!
Neera entered the room and quickly noticed Roxanneâs air of superiority. However, she ignored her viewing Roxanne as nothing more than a clown.
Directing her attention to the main seat, she saw the two elders. They appeared significantly aged since their last meeting, yet retained their vigor.
Their unwavering gaze met Neeraâs as she approached, bearing a gift box in her hands.
âGrandpa and Grandma, itâs been a while. Despite the passage of time, your health remains remarkably resilient. Aunt Adriana would be delighted to hear that,â Neera greeted composedly. She placed the gift box on the round table.
âThese supplements were specially chosen by Aunt Adriana for the two of you.â
Both of their eyes flickered toward the gift box, its contents brimming with valuable items like ginseng and birdâs nest.
âThank you.â
The two elders nodded, their tone even and composed.
Despite their composed appearance, they had mixed emotions.
The eldest granddaughter, who had disappeared for numerous years, had crossed paths with them a few years ago. Back then, she seemed ordinary, her pretty face lacking the brilliance that would set her apart.
Never could they have predicted that she would reappear after several years, exuding an aura of distinctiveness and transformation. Her appearance was remarkably refined, her elegance and nobility unmistakable.
She even bore a resemblance to her late motherâs demeanorâ¦
However, Marnie had always harbored disdain for Neeraâs biological mother, which consequently extended to her.
At the moment, Marnie did not mask her displeasure and promptly picked at Neeraâs demeanor.
âYour father and your stepmother, are here. Itâs impolite not to greet them!â
Neera could not help but be amused.
What a family.
They had not shown her a hint of warmth toward her after years of separation and scolded her once she showed up.
It seemed like a pity that Neera did not play along with them. With a genuine smile, she replied straightforwardly, âIâm here just to visit the two of you. Iâm not close to anyone else here, so thereâs no need for formal greetings.â
Marnieâs sparse eyebrows creased at the response.
Marnieâs expression also turned sour. âIn these past years, youâve been under your auntâs care, and your temperament has taken after hers. Anyhow⦠Since youâre here, letâs sit down for a meal together and catch up with each other.â
Despite their initially frosty reception, Neera was inclined to grant them some courtesy. She nodded and took her seat.
Since she was here, she intended to hear what they had to say.
Shortly after, the ordered dishes were served and Neera remained silent.
Eventually, Gladeon initiated the conversation, âYour Aunt Adriana hasnât returned in these past years.
How is she doing abroad?â
Neera responded truthfully, âAunt Adriana is doing well, but her work keeps her quite occupied, making it hard for her to come back. Nonetheless, she misses you greatly.â
Marnie huffed indignantly upon hearing this, her anger palpable. âIf she misses us so much, why hasnât she made an effort to come back? Does she even remember her parents?â
Feeling her appetite wane, Neera set down her chopsticks. âCertainly, she does. Otherwise, Aunt Adriana wouldnât have entrusted me to visit the two of you. I believe you both have a better understanding of the reasons why she didnât come back more than anyone else.â
In the past, her aunt resided in Kingsview and had a devoted fiancé. However, due to Marnieâs intervention, the marriage was cut off. Heartbroken and unsupported by her family, Adriana left on her own and remained single to this day.
In Neeraâs estimation, Adriana bore some resentment towards the two elders for these past events, which had influenced her decision not to return to Kingsview. Nevertheless, despite her resentments, Adriana still harbored feelings for her parents and missed them deeply.
Neera aimed to strike a chord of guilt within the hearts of the two elders, effectively silencing them.
Recognizing the growing tension, Susan promptly interjected. âI donât believe thatâs the case! I think Adriana flourished overseas, causing her to distance herself from her relatives, right? Her company has experienced significant growth these years. Perhaps she wants to hide it from us!â
