Chapter 274 The ANXIN Group Belongs To Me
At that moment, Neera was still wearing the white evening dress that she wore during the ribbon–cutting ceremony. She exuded an unspeakable kind of aura that made heads turn.
When the two families saw Neera, they all stopped in their tracks. Everyone was staring at her, and all of them
had different expressions.
Neera could not help but frown.
It was really unlucky to bump into these people on such an auspicious day!
She pursed her lips and pretended not to see them.
However, Harley was not going to let such a good opportunity go. He suddenly laughed while looking earnestly at the same time.
“Hey, isn’t this Neera? Long time no see, and you’ve never been prettier. Your father and I were talking about you just now, and we could never have guessed that we would bump into you here… This is such a good coincidence! Why not join us for dinner and have our little reunion?”
When Neera looked at Harley, her eyes were ice–cold.
She remembered meeting this guy a long time ago.
She was still engaged to Zachary at that time.
Harley was really arrogant, as he saw himself as someone out of Neera’s league. Never once did he take Neera seriously at all.
Now that he was suddenly so welcoming, it was really creepy!
Neera rejected him with a cold expression. “No thanks. I don’t eat with strangers.”
Harley’s face stiffened when he heard how cold she was. However, he did not lash out in anger. He made a fake chuckle to ease the awkward atmosphere.
“Hey, how can you say that we are strangers? Although you and Zachary’s marriage never came to fruition, we have known each other for so long that I even consider all of us family! There might be some bad blood between you two, but as they say, let bygones be bygones, no? Look at you, you’re completely transformed after going overseas. They say that every cloud has a silver lining. You shouldn’t be so uptight and calculative, don’t you think?”
Every cloud has a silver lining, you say? She snorted internally.
She could not believe how shameless this man was. It really renewed her perception of him, which was already bad in the first place.
They said that the apple did not fall far from the tree. Suddenly, Zachary’s character made more sense.
She could care less about these people. She did not hold back when she said, “Mr. Fain, you must be kidding. I was banished from the family a few years ago, so it’s true that your family and I have nothing to do with each other. And you said that you consider us family? Give me a break. The only relative I have is my aunt. Other than her, I consider everyone else strangers!”
Harley’s face grew darker after Neera fired back at him.

The atmosphere suddenly felt heavier.
Alfonso could not stand it anymore. He scolded Neera, “Neera, is this how your aunt wants you to behave? Talking back to your elders? Where are your manners? Apologize to Harley now!”
Neera’s face was still chilly. A frosty look appeared in her eyes.
“Why should I apologize? Aunt Adriana teaches me to respect the elderly and cherish the young ones, but she only teaches me to respect those who deserve it. In my eyes, you guys never deserve it! Who are you to reprimand me, anyway? As a father, you never fulfilled your duties, not even once, yet you still dare to criticize me? You better take a good look in the mirror yourself! You have no right to point fingers at me, not in this lifetime!”
Alfonso felt his blood pressure rise. He never thought that Neera could be so feisty.
“You…”
Roxanne could not take it anymore. She glared at her nemesis with venom in her eyes.
“Neera, do you really think that you’re the main person in ANXIN Group just because of some exaggerated news? When the ANXIN Group was in its budding stage, the Garcia family invested in it. You have nothing to do with its success! Do you really think you’re the boss now just because Aunt Adrian has been looking out for you? Let me get it off my chest. The ANXIN Group is always associated with the Garcia Group. The company always belongs to us. You have no part in this!”
Neera almost could not stifle her laughter when she heard such ridiculous reasoning.
No wonder the Fain family tried to build a connection with the Garcia family. They must have realized that Neera had a far–from–ordinary background.
Roxanne was rambling about the ANXIN Group belonging to the Garcia family. How shameless could she be to spout such utter nonsense?
Neera broke into laughter, and it was a sarcastic one.
“Am I hearing things? Do you really think that the ANXIN Group has something to do with the Garcia Group? Roxanne, you’re still as thick–faced as ever! Aunt Adriana set up the company all by herself, and she never borrowed money from you guys. You never contributed to the ANXIN Group throughout its growth, but now you are trying to get your hands on the profitable company. Do you even think of asking Aunt Adriana about this?”
Roxanne could not replace any words to refute Neera. She almost choked on her anger.
Neera was speaking the truth here. Roxanne knew that she could never win this argument!
“As for whether I have anything to do with the ANXIN Group, let me tell you something. In fact, I am actually the true heir to the company. Aunt Adriana drafted a will not long ago, stating that if something were to happen to her, every asset that she has would legally belong to me. Not only that, I am actually overseeing more than half of all of her assets. How about this? Let this sink in, and let your jealousy drive you crazy. You know deep down that there’s nothing you can do to change the facts. Facts will always be facts!”
