Chapter 1511
By the time the plane carrying Elmer and Mariah landed, it was already past ten in the night.
Neera was eagerly waiting at the arrival gate. After a long wait, she finally spotted Elmer, Mariah, Nadine, and Jeremiah. She
quickly waved at them.
Nadine was the first to spot Neera, excitedly leading her family toward the latter.
Upon meeting, Neera first greeted Elmer and Mariah.

Elmer’s mood was relatively calm, but the light that shone in his cloudy eyes revealed the joy he felt upon seeing Neera.
As for Mariah, her emotions were noticeably more stirred.
This was the first time she saw Neera after her recovery from illness.
At that moment, she looked at her granddaughter, who was so close at hand. She couldn’t help but tremble with excitement, and
tears welled up in her eyes.
“Neera!” Her voice trembled as she raised her hand, cautiously placing it on Neera’s cheek. She wanted to caress Neera, yet
she seemed to be afraid that all of it was nothing more than a dream.
Seeing through Mariah’s fear, Neera felt a pang of sympathy. She quickly took her grandmother’s hand, gently stroking it.
“Grandma, I’m here. It’s me, Neera, your dear granddaughter.”
Upon hearing those words, Mariah acted as if something had finally been confirmed. She suddenly burst into tears, embracing
Neera as she began to cry. “Neera, my granddaughter... I’m glad you’re here. Otherwise, I would live my entire life in pain...”
Watching that scene, both Nadine and Jeremiah felt a twinge of heartache.
Neera felt a bitter-sweet sensation in her heart, a touch of pain, yet also warmth.
She embraced the elderly woman, soothing her gently, “Grandma, don’t cry. I’m still here. I will take my mother’s place and keep
you company.”
After a good while, Mariah’s emotions finally settled down.
She wiped her tears and bade farewell to Neera. However, her hand was still holding Neera’s. She glanced to the side, looking at
Jean, her expression immediately turning a bit displeased. “Young man, I still remember how you hurt my Neera before. Why are
you here again?”
When that was mentioned, Elmer also got a bit worked up, lifting his chin and grunting twice in displeasure. “Exactly. You’re not
still obsessing over our Neera, are you? Is that why you forced Neera to marry you? Let me tell you, no matter who you are or
which company’s president you are, if you don’t treat our Neera well, don’t even think about tying her down for life.”
After he finished speaking, he pulled Neera aside and asked her seriously, “You little rascal. You’ve gone and gotten a marriage
certificate, yet you didn’t even discuss such a big deal with us. Tell us honestly, did this young man pester you relentlessly,
forcing you to marry him? Don’t worry. We’re all here for you, backing you up. No one will dare to mess with you!”
Neera was first taken aback, then she couldn’t help but feel nonplussed. What on earth is going on here?

She quickly shook her head in denial, “Grandpa, you’re overthinking it. I married him willingly. There was no question of any
coercion.”
Elmer looked at her with a puzzled expression. “Are you serious? You’re really doing this willingly? I thought after he hurt you so
deeply, you wouldn’t want to marry him anymore...”
Neera rubbed her forehead. “That’s all in the past. Besides, he didn’t know about the incident six years ago. It was a special
circumstance that led to the mistake. It was all a misunderstanding. What’s in the past is in the past.”
Seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, Elmer and Mariah finally felt at ease.
“All right, since you’re willing, we shouldn’t stand in your way.” Next, Elmer glared at Jean, his small mustache quivering. “You
listen well to me well. Even if you’re married to Neera, if you dare to hurt her again, divorce is still an option! We won’t let our
granddaughter suffer the slightest bit of injustice! You’d better stay on your toes! Or else I won’t let you off easily!”
After much difficulty in reuniting the family, Jean was immediately met with a warning. Despite feeling a bit helpless, he didn’t get
angry.
He knew that the Park family cared deeply for Neera, so he solemnly assured them. “Grandma, Grandpa, rest assured, I regard
Neera as more important than my own life. I will never let her suffer even the slightest injustice again.”
Elmer hummed twice more, leaving it unclear whether he was satisfied or not.
At that moment, Nadine stepped forward to mediate. “All right, all right, no need to stand around here any longer. Let’s get in the
car quickly. Whatever you want to talk about, we can discuss it once we’re in the car.”
Upon hearing that, Elmer and Mariah finally relented. Holding Neera’s hand, they began to walk toward the outside of the airport.
Jeremiah fell a step behind, walking shoulder to shoulder with Jean, comforting him. “I know they were a bit harsh with you just
now, speaking rather bluntly. Don’t take it to heart, and don’t blame them. They’ve finally found Neera back, and they treasure
her like a gem. They certainly can’t bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance. At that time, you two seemed to be on the
verge of breaking up, and Neera was very upset about it. That’s why they were displeased with you. When I heard that you two
got married, I admit, I was also worried that perhaps Neera hadn’t thought it through. Hence, the first thing I did when I got back
was to figure out both of your attitudes toward marriage. Since neither of you is treating marriage lightly and is serious about it,
there’s nothing more for me to say. Live your lives well as a couple. As your elders, we won’t interfere. Rest assured.”
Jean nodded, indicating that he understood everything and wasn’t the least bit upset.
After everyone got in the car, Mariah hurriedly asked about the incidents on the internet those past two days. “Are your adoptive
parents still causing a fuss?”
Neera shook her head, comforting, “No more. They can’t make a fuss now. The truth is already very clear.”
Speaking of that, Nadine also had a belly full of anger. “They’re so greedy! I can’t believe they treated you like this! They took
your money and still dared to mistreat you! If this matter hadn’t been settled, I would have gone and given them a piece of my
mind! I would have shown them who’s boss!”
Mariah was quite upset. “How dare they treat our Neera like this and think they can just get away with it. They’re getting off too
easy!”
Neera just smiled, not taking it to heart. “All right, don’t get upset over such unworthy individuals. It’s not worth harming your own
health. They’ve gained nothing and have exhausted all their options. That’s their retribution. I can’t be bothered with anything
else. Let it be. We won’t have any dealings with them in the future anyway.”
Jeremiah agreed, “That’s right. Getting involved with petty people won’t lead anywhere and only wastes our energy and time. It’s
not worth the effort. We all feel deeply saddened by Neera’s past experiences, but what we should focus on now is the present
and the future. Our family has finally reunited after much difficulty. We should cherish every day we spend together.”
Neera responded with a slight smile. “You’re right, Uncle Jeremiah.”
Soon, she skillfully steered the conversation away from that topic, mentioning that the Beauvort family wanted to arrange a
meeting.
Upon hearing that, Elmer lowered his voice and slowly said, “Well, let’s meet then. After all, you two are married now, and our
families are related by marriage. We’re bound to run into each other sooner or later, so we should maintain a good relationship.
Besides, Beauvort Group is the leading enterprise in Kingsview. It’s impossible to ignore them when the Park Group is hosting a
grand event. We have to deal with them one way or another.”
