The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel - Chapter 898

Grandpa Dirk half-smiled. "It's the truth. I can't let you in. Otherwise, I'll be the one who gets the blame later." Neera tried to muddle herself through. She clasped her hands together in a pitiful plea for help. "Please, Grandpa Dirk! Give me a pass, please…" Grandpa Dirk didn't budge at all, and waved his hands to dismiss her plea. "Nope, I cannot do that. Don't do this with me, little girl. This is an order personally issued by the President. I can't bear the blame when the time comes.

Do you see the screen outside? Your name is right up there. They did that to remind you to repay your debts." Neera couldn't help but frown when all of her ideas were failing her. "Whose idea was it to put up that stupid list! It's too cruel!" Hearing her rant, Grandpa Dirk chuckled and winked playfully. "Of course it was the President's idea! You should try saying that to his face." Neera: "..." She certainly didn't have the guts to. "Is it really not possible? Grandpa Dirk?

Seeing how we've been friends for so long?" Without even pausing to think, Grandpa Dirk outright refused her. "Nope." "Ugh. Meanie." Neera pursed her lips, and reached her tender, fair hands out. "Give me back the tea leaves, then." Grandpa Dirk's eyes suddenly widened, and he put his hands behind his back. "You strange thing! How can you ask someone to return a gift you've already given them?" Neera said upsettingly: "Haven't you heard of a popular saying? It's called 'no reward for no merit'.

I just want to read some books, but you wouldn't even let me. So, you don't deserve the tea leaves." Grandpa Dirk waved his hands. He was unwilling to give them back to her. "I don't care! It's already in my hands, which means it's mine!" She continued to condemn him. "You're already a grown man, Grandpa Dirk. How can you take advantage of younger people like this?" "You-!" Grandpa Dirk widened his eyes and yelled. "Who's taking advantage of you!" Neera raised her eyebrows. "Who do you think?

The gift is still in your hands!" His face stiffened for a while. He then gritted his teeth and gave her a suggestion. "This isn't something that I can call the shots for. I have no right to say anything! If you really wanted to borrow some books, why don't you look for the President? Maybe he'll be merciful to you this time round." Seeing that he wasn't going to give in, Neera had no choice but to pay the President a visit and gamble on her luck.
