“Ms. Garcia, the Logans wish to see you.”
Neera was taken aback. “Who?”
The servant repeated, “The Logans.”
Neera was somewhat puzzled. “Why would the Logans come…”
She vividly recalled the events on Mount Cloud, where the Logan and Jennings families had shamefully conspired and targeted the Gordon family at every turn.
Howard is so arrogant and overbearing. Compared to Stella, he’s just as bad, if not worse. What’s the sudden reason for their visit? Are they here to apologize?
She turned her head and asked, “Shane, shall we meet them?”
Shane was clearly surprised, but he remained composed.
“Guests are always welcome. Since they’ve taken the trouble to come to us, it would be impolite and unwelcoming of the Gordon family to turn them away. We should graciously invite them in to see what they’re really up to. Besides, this is the Gordon residence. If they think they can run wild here, they’re simply daydreaming.”
Neera felt the same way. She composed herself and instructed the servant to invite the guests in.
Soon, the Logans walked in.
There was only one visitor, but it wasn’t Howard. Instead, it was someone Neera had never met before.
This person appeared to be much older, probably in their forties.
He wore a smile, projecting an image of kindness and benevolence. Yet, who could guess the cunning scheme he might be concocting within?
Neera and Shane exchanged a glance and immediately understood what was going on.
Howard didn’t want to come willingly. That was why he had sent someone to just go through the motions.
It seemed that the elders of the Logan family were assessing the situation, hoping to improve their relationship with the Gordon family.
Just as they had anticipated, the middle-aged man greeted them with a broad smile and a humble demeanor, “Ms. Garcia, Mr. Gordon, I am Stefan Logan, the third elder of the Logan family. I have come here to apologize.”
Neera treated the Logan family differently, not like the previous families she dealt with. Instead, she adopted a slightly more dignified demeanor.
She looked at Stefan with an expressionless face. After a few seconds, she said in an apathetic tone, “Apologize? It seems there’s no connection between the Logan family and the Gordon family. Where is this talk of an apology coming from?”
The middle-aged man immediately explained in a calm and polite manner,
“Ms. Garcia, please don’t take it personally. Although I didn’t go to Mount Cloud, I have a general understanding of what happened. At that time, the Logan family was deceived by the Jennings family. We thought that the Gordon family was a traitor who betrayed the Bartitsu Guild. The Logan family has always been loyal to the guild. Upon returning, our family head was filled with deep regret, feeling that
he had misplaced his trust in the Jennings family. Not only did it almost cause you trouble, but it also dragged the entire Logan family into it.” He sighed, his expression a mix of regret and apology. “However, we, the Logan family, acknowledge our mistakes and accept that punishment is deserved. We are fortunate not to have suffered the same fate as the Jennings family. We are willing to accept our punishment. This time, we came for two reasons. First, we wanted to see how Ms. Garcia’s injuries were healing, and second, we wanted to apologize. We hope that you, Ms. Garcia, as a magnanimous person, can forgive our past mistakes. From now on, let our families be friends. The Logan family will be the Gordon family’s most reliable ally and the closest partner in the guild.”
Neera’s fine eyebrows arched slightly in contemplation as she asked, “Does your family head know about this conversation?”
Stefan quickly said, “Yes. It is indeed my family head who sent me to apologize. We, the Logan family, are filled with regret and hope to somewhat make up for the mistakes we have made before.”
After he finished speaking, he pushed a long, quant box he had brought with him toward Neera…
“Ms. Garcia, this is a small gift. I hope you can accept it.”
Neera lowered her gaze to glance at the box and asked in a soft voice, “What is this?”
Stefan smiled. “Natural goldenhorn.”
Neera was somewhat surprised. Upon opening it, he found that it was indeed a natural goldenhorn, and the quality was exceptional
This was one of the rarest and most precious medicinal herbs in the world. Even a pound of it could sell for hundreds of thousands, and it was so scarce that it was practically priceless. Some even fetched up to a million.
Unexpectedly, the Logan family seemed to know how to cater to one’s preferences.
Stefan had been paying attention to her expression and didn’t miss the flash of delight in her eyes. He quickly added, “I’ve heard that your medical skills are quite impressive. You were very generous at the auction, and later, you went to the Medicina family to search for precious medicinal materials. Therefore, I brought this natural goldenhorn in hopes that you would like it.”
Neera remained calm, revealing no hint of her emotions.
“Indeed, natural goldenhorn is a rare and valuable item, Mr. Logan. I appreciate your effort, but please take it back.”
Stefan’s confident expression slightly changed. “Ms. Garcia…”
“As the saying goes, one should not accept rewards without merit. The relationship between the Logan family and the Gordon family is rather distant, so I cannot accept such a valuable gift. As for your apology, rest assured, it has been acknowledged and appreciated.”
Stefan’s expression turned somewhat awkward.
“Ms. Garcia, could it be that you still can’t forgive the Logan family? I came here this time truly representing the sincerity of our entire family. Since we are all under the Bartitsu Guild, why should we fight among ourselves? Why not let go of your grudges, Ms. Garcia? The Logan family will certainly assist the Gordon family in the future, becoming the most powerful aid to the Gordon family!”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
