Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Ten Million Is Not up for Discussion Jean Eyer hadn't fully awoken from her slumber. "There's something wrong with my cellphone. I sent it for repair." "Do you know about Mr. Wilton getting robbed? He got hurt and is in the hospital. We're planning to go see him together, do you want to come?" "He got robbed? When did this happen!” Jean Eyer frowned. "In the middle of the night yesterday, around twelve." It was around the tshe left Edgar Royden's villa and started walking home. Jean Eyer pondered and said through gritted teeth, "Where should I meet you?" She left the house after that. What she didn't know was that five minutes after she left, the door of her house was opened. "Move quickly. Don't leave any trace behind." "Yes!" Twenty minutes later, she reached the city hospital. Jean Eyer met up with Sally Lance and Kellan Lincoln at the entrance. Jean Eyer's brows tightened when she heard Sally Lance tell her what happened.
After the photoshoot that day, Sky Wilton was fine.
He reached the office safe and sound and didn't tell a single person about what happened in the car between him and Jean Eyer. But last night, he was suddenly robbed. It was a police officer on duty nearby that sent him to the hospital.
"I heard it wasn't a common robbery. Mr. Wilton only lost his watch that was worth a couple hundred thousand," said Kellan Lincoln. "but the robber didn't take any cash in his car." "Since Mr. Wilton was robbed, there's no way he can participate in the big VK show this weekend." "It couldn't be that someone from a rival company set this up on purpose?" Their imagination went wild, and the worse their speculations got.
As for Jean Eyer, she had never been so clear-headed.
The day she escaped from Sky Wilton's car, it was Edgar Royden who took her away. He must've known what happened. Sky Wilton was targeted last night and found by the police, but they couldn't find any clues.
It meant that the person behind this robbery was not only well-concealed but also very powerful.
There was a very high possibility of it being Edgar Royden! But Jean Eyer didn't understand. Why did he do this? Was it to help her get back at him? She went into the hospital room with them in the face of confusion. Zoe Hadly and Anna Sue were there as well.
"Mr. Wilton, please take care of yourself." As soon as Sally Lance looked up, she saw the gauze on Sky Wilton's head wrapped up as tightly as a beehive and antiseptic applied on his eyes. She was dangerously close to laughing out loud.
Kellan Lincoln coughed and tried to smooth things over. "Mr. Wilton, I hope you get well soon." Sky Wilton glanced over. His body was so badly beaten up he could barely move. His gaze fell on Jean Eyer, the meaning behind it unclear.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZoe Hadly said, "Mr. Wilton needs to rest. You should go home." "Alright, we'll leave." Kellan Lincoln pulled Sally Lance along.
Sally Lance looked down to keep herself from laughing.
"Jean Eyer, hold on. I need to talk to you." Jean Eyer's footsteps paused. She saw Zoe Hadly pulling Anna Sue out before locking the hospital room door.
"I never thought that you were so capable." This cfrom Sky Wilton.
But his voice no longer sounded as nice as it used to. In contrast, it felt a little colder and huskier.
Jean Eyer moved the corner of her lips. "Mr. Wilton, I think you've misunderstood. I am powerless now, what do you mean capable?" "You..." Sky Wilton ground his teeth in anger.
Zoe Hadly went over to hold on to him. She said in a low voice, "Letsay it." She patted Sky Wilton's back before he slowly calmed down.
"Mr. Wilton getting robbed was only a pretense. In actuality, it was a one-sided assault. The person who beat him up was sent by Edgar Royden. You should know about this, Jean Eyer!" Jean Eyer shook her head. “I don't know anything." She would be imagining things if she really didn't know anything.
Zoe Hadly sighed. "Since it's cdown to this, you don't have to pretend any longer. Mr. Wilton has been looking for you these two days to speak with you. What happened in the car that day wasn't his intention. You must've misunderstood." A misunderstanding? Jean Eyer took a breath in.
If that situation was a misunderstanding, then murderers didn't need to be held legally responsible.
She cto a conclusion quickly.
Zoe Hadly knew what kind of person Sky Wilton was, and she knew what was inside the memory card. Maybe Zoe Hadly was one of the leading ladies in those recorded auclips.
Jean Eyer frowned. She couldn't understand why.
Zoe Hadly was young, pretty, and competent. Why did she have to mix around with someone like Sky Wilton? "Give us the memory card then you can cup with a condition of your own." Zoe Hadly had a firm attitude. Seeing that Jean Eyer wasn't saying anything, she added on. "If this gets any bigger, your reputation will be affected too, and for what?" Sky Wilton had been lying on the hospital bed through all this.
Only his eyes were filled with anger, like he wanted to murder Jean Eyer.
Jean Eyer pulled a chair in the room over. She sat down and looked at both of them. She chuckled, "Do you think someone likecares about that? A condition of mine? Ten million." "That's too much." It was like Zoe Hadly knew what Jean Eyer would say.
"Not up for discussion." Jean Eyer got up and left.
Zoe Hadly let out a sigh and squeezed Sky Wilton's shoulder. “I'll go after her. You rest." "Of course, you must make her agree." Sky Wilton was furious.
He looked for Jean Eyer for two days, but it was as if she had vanished without a trace.
Then he was attacked yesterday night, this must've been the doing of Edgar Royden! Sky Wilton cursed silently. How could he have been so careless to let Jean Eyer escape? What was inside the memory card could not be made public under any circumstance. Otherwise, his life was over.
Zoe Hadly thought it would be hard to catch up to Jean Eyer, only to see her stopped at the vending machine at the end of the corridor.
Jean Eyer bought a drink and was waiting for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You're one of the victims, right?" Jean Eyer said quietly.
Zoe Hadly's body went stiff. She stared at Jean Eyer with trembling lips. "It's none of your business. You have no use holding on to the card. Return the card to me. I can get you a reasonable price for it." Jean Eyer took a deep breath in. “Even ten million couldn't buy your innocence?" Zoe Hadly was dumbstruck.
"I never thought of revealing what's inside. I never looked at it either." Jean Eyer wrinkled ber brow and kled-bet looked straight at Zoe Hadly.
"Everyone has the right to make choices. I respect your thinking, but I need to protect myself." It had nothing to do with her what type of relationship Zoe Hadly and Sky Wilton had.
Jean Eyer held her cup and walked around Zoe Hadly.
At the hospital entrance, she saw that Sally Lance and Kellan Lincoln were surrounded by spaparazzi.
Jean Eyer walked over. "We're new in MON & Co., so there's no use interviewing us." After saying this, she pulled Sally Lance away, and Kellan Lincoln rushed to join them.
On the other end, at the parking lot, Anna Sue filmed the scene with her X cellphone and sent to Gigi Reece's Ne agent. "Ms. Linda, I noticed that Jean Eyer might have a problem with the lead designer in our company..." Sally Lance saw that something was off about Jean Eyer's expression. She asked tentatively, "Did Mr. Wilton make things difficult for you just now?" Jean Eyer shook her head.
Three of them sat in a row next to a fountain. Contents belong to Kellan Lincoln sat on the other side of Sally Lance and nudged her. "Go on, I'll get you both something to eat.” Sally Lance said, "Mm." After he left, Sally Lance leaned over and said, "Do you think that the relationship between Zoe Hadly and Sky Wilton seems unusual? The whole company has been gossiping about them.”
