Chapter 208 Chapter 208 Climbed Over the Wall and Escaped Susan, who was beside her, leaned forward to glance at her after seeing her so furious. The contract termination agreements in her hands that were from different companies were dated two years ago.
In principle, all these should have been dealt with a long tago, but it was dragged out until now with no one to deal with it? Moreover, how did all of this make its way to Jean at the stime? Other than Edgar working behind the scenes, who else could do something like this? "Ms. Eyer, you don't have to be so agitated. We understand that it's been a long time, and this is a big sum. It might be hard for you to accept it at the moment. My boss is hosting a banquet at Ocean Stone tonight at eight. Maybe you will have cup with a solution by then." The person who had sent these things was a young man in a suit, and the way he spoke was quite polite. "Who is your boss?" "I can't tell you yet, Ms. Eyer. You'll find out when you attend the banquet tonight." Jean watched as he turned and left. She pursed the corner of her lips as she pondered. Did Edgar send him? No, he didn't have to beat around the bush and do that. But if that person could find her, he most likely knew about the resentment between the Eyer and Royden families. Furthermore, the news would have already made its way to Edgar's ears.
"Are you going to go tonight, Ms. Eyer?" Susan was a little worried. The corner of Jean's mouth slowly twitched. She threw the contract termination agreements into the trash. "Of course not." Susan was shocked speechless by her reply. She was still thinking about how she should advise Jean. After all, Edgar instructed before leaving for his business trip to not let her leave the villa.
Jean smiled. "Susan, although I'm impulsive, I'm not dumb. There's no need forto attend a banquet where they're going to murder their guest." Jean stretched her body as she asked, "What's for lunch?" "Soup and...." Susan rushed into the kitchen. Jean stood where she was and her smile slowly subsided. She never imagined that at a tlike this, the person who cared about her the most would be a servant from the Royden family.
She couldn't bear to make Susan worry. Jean looked down and her gaze swept past the trash. She looked away emotionlessly. With their ample preparation, they must have other tricks up their sleeve. Even if she didn't go today, they would still clooking for her.
But they surely wouldn't be as nice anymore.
Jean kept to her word. That night, she stayed at the Royden's family villa and watched the television. There was suddenly thunder and lightning outside the window.
After a sudden clap of thunder, the whole villa was plunged into darkness. "The power must have gone out. I'll go look for candles." Susan immediately got a flashlight and headed to the utility room.
Jean sat on the couch and looked outside absent-mindedly. A few shadows flitted across the yard. "Who's there?" Another bolt of lightning filled the sky. The yard was quiet. It seemed like she was mistaken. "Ms. Eyer, I only found two candles. Lettake you back to your room." Jean looked away and headed toward the staircase. When she got back to her room, Susan left. The whole villa seemed gray and lonely. Hearing the rainstorm outside her window, Jean furrowed her brows.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe rainy night reminded her of the day of her dad's accident.
The memory of it was like a stamp. It left a lasting mark in her heart.
The door of the Eyer house was smashed and people had barged in like madmen, smashing things and beating people up...
Up until today, that chaotic scene still enraged her.
Her cell phone lit up with a text message from an unknown number.
"You'll regret not coming tonight, Ms. Eyer." Which Mr. Hart was this? It was the boss of the person who sent over the contract termination agreements that day.
While Jean was still thinking about how to reply, she received another text message.
It was a group picture. There were seven men and two women. They were all big guns of the business world, and her dad, Gary, was among them! "Tpassed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it's been two years since Mr. Eyer left us. The day the accident happened in the Eyer house, it was raining, wasn't it?" Who in the world was he! Jean picked up her cell phone and called the number, but no one picked up.
She kept calling but to no avail.
Jean sent a text message. 'Who in the world are you? What do you want?!' But the text message that was sent out was like a stone that was thrown into the sea. It sank and elicited no response until noon the next day.
"Please eat a little, Ms. Eyer." After waking up, Jean had yet to eat anything. She would just look at her cell phone from tto time.
"I'm fine, Susan, I'm not hungry." It wasn't that she wasn't hungry, but she couldn't eat anything.
She had a bad premonition. And she had to admit that the person staring at her from behind the scenes seemed a lot shrewder than Edgar.
Jean had an indescribable feeling of being controlled by someone.
Susan sighed. "How can you not eat anything? If Mr. Royden finds out when he comes back, he'll..." "When is Edgar coming back?" A thought suddenly appeared in Jean's mind. Contents belong to "It should be tomorrow night." Jean mumbled something to herself as she went back to her room with her cell phone.
Susan sighed as she stood where she was. "Should I let Mr. Royden know about this?" At that tin a hotel overseas, Edgar had just finished a full day of meetings. When he got back to his room, he saw a text message from Sam.
It advised him to quickly go back and discharge Gigi from the hospital. Otherwise, he had to deal with the consequences.
The man gazed at his cell phone screen and swiped down to the next text message.
What he hated the most was being blackmailed by others.
The Reeces were always crossing his bottom line and testing his patience.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, there was a call from Susan.
An elegant face appeared in Edgar's mind. He wrinkled his brow before taking the call.
"Mr. Royden, Ms. Eyer has climbed over the wall and escaped." "Escaped?" The man's voice was full of anger. "Where could she have escaped to? Get people to capture her back."
"I saw a lot of blood on the windowsill. It seemed like she broke the glass and jumped down down. Is she in danger?" Susan was extremely worried. She regretted not going upstairs to take a look earlier. Otherwise, she would have been able to stop Jean.
On the phone, the man's expression was cold.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something.
"I understand. I'll deal with it when I get back." "But..." The more Susan thought about it, the more worried she felt. "Mr. Royden, why don't you send someone out to look for her?" "Look for her?" Edgar's voice was ice-cold. "She's fine. The blood might not even be hers." He only said that before hanging up.
Susan stood by the windowsill as her worry increased.
In a small store a few hundred meters away from the Royden's family villa, Jean was slowly enjoying her supper.
After she ate and drank to her heart's content, she took out her cell phone and glanced at it before her thin figure disappeared in the night. The moon was bright in the sky. It was a good day to go visit the hospital.
"Although the Royden family bodyguards withdrew, Dr. Wallace Ο has increased the staff on this floor NO to stop others from getting into Gigi's hospital room. It would be a little hard to get in without being noticed." Phoebe sighed. "Previously, I thought of it too simplistically. With the current situation, I might not have any way to sneak you in." She was upset that she couldn't help Jean.
But Jean laughed unconcernedly. "Who said that I wanted to sneak in?" X
