Chapter 310 Chapter 310 Accused This wasn't Jean's first interrogation. Nothing much had changed from her first time. She was still alone. The only difference was that her mind was much clearer.
By the tBen had arrived with the lawyer, Jean had already signed the report, admitting guilt of intentionally hurting Gigi's baby. With her admission of guilt and the video Gigi had, there was no chance of her getting out of this innocent.
The lawyer that Ben had brought had plenty of experience, but even she shook her head when she saw what she was dealing with. "Recently, the court has been coming down hard on abuse against children. Seeing as how you've decided to plead guilty, we can make a plea deal and ask for a lighter sentence. But from what I can see, it doesn't look great for you." "Ms. Sprectre, is there no other way?" Ben frowned. He glared at Jean with her head down. She had not said a word at all. "You toldto take care of Eyer Group's affairs just to get rid ofso that you could go take the blfor Gigi?" The Jean he knew wasn't the considerate type. How was it possible for her to help her ex-husband and his fiancé? Jean was silent.
Donna Spectre, the lawyer, sighed, "I think it's best for the both of you to discuss things on your own first, Mr. Ludwig. The evidence may look pretty damning now, but if Ms. Eyer agrees to trustand lethelp her, I may be able to figure something out. But if she's dead set on going to jail, then there's no point in hiring a lawyer." Donna left the room, giving them full use of the tthey were allowed. Jean could not look Ben in the eye even after the lawyer had left.
“Jean, what is going on? Why are you helping Gigi?" Ben could not understand. Unless she had gone mad and lost her mind, the Jean he knew could never lay a finger on a child.
Jean bit her lip. “Ben, Gigi, she's a... She's an Eyer." "What?" Ben froze. Jean took a deep breath before looking up and meeting his eyes. She smiled wanly. "You heard right. Gigi is my younger sister." She smiled bitterly. "I had to help her. She's the only family I have left." She had suspected that the child was Andy's even though she didn't have proof.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith Gigi's relationship with the Reeces and if it comes to light that the child was not related to Edgar at all, Gigi would have nowhere to go, which was why she wanted to get rid of the child.
However, she did not expect Andy could be much more ruthless than her.
Jean had thought this out. Even if they took Gigi out of the equation, she and Edgar were done. She might as well put all her efforts into making sure her nephew was safe. No matter who his father was, this child was an Eyer.
Ben's heart broke when he saw the sad determination on her face.
"Jean... You shouldn't be the only one shouldering the consequences of this." Ben frowned. "Even if you help Gigi cover this up, would she be able to keep it from Edgar?" If Edgar suspects the child's paternity, he'd get it tested. When that tcomes, Gigi will be on her own.
Gigi murmured, "I am certain that Edgar will not dig any further. Even if he does, he'll do it after marrying Gigi." All the hatred would end with her.
Maybe they'd be able to let go of the past as long as she stopped seeking revenge against Edgar.
"What are you..." Before Ben could say any further, their visitation thad ended. Jean asked him for one final favor. She wanted to see Winnie.
Meanwhile.
Edgar was sitting in Reece's living room opposite Gigi and her father. He frowned.
"You're tellingthat the child needs to be brought up overseas?" "Yes. Edgar, the doctor said that he's too weak and would need to receive care that could only be provided overseas. He'll be able to return when he's about three." Gigi looked sad. "My father has found a place that has agreed to admit him. But it will need the parents' marriage certificate. Which means, the both of us will need to get married as soon as possible." Contents belong to Sam sighed audibly. "He's so young and fragile..." Both of them looked like they had the child's best intentions at heart, but there was something not quite right about it all.
"We can hire a doctor within the country..." "It's different." Gigi becexcitable when he disagreed. "Edgar, think ofand our child." Edgar frowned. If it weren't for Andy's pending trial, he would have done a paternity test ages ago.
No one could prove that the child was his. He trusted no one except through medical means.
But now, this happened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Say something, Edgar. We can't delay this any longer. I wouldn't have agreed to this either if this didn't require the consent of both parents. I wouldn't ask this of you if there was any other way. I want a grand wedding more than anyone else! The past two times were futile. Do you know how much pressure I was under to deliver this child safely?" Gigi sobbed and wiped away her tears. "I just want him to be healthy. If you're really that unwilling, we can make an agreement to divorce after he goes overseas. This is all for our baby." She was willing to put aside her own wants for this. Edgar had no choice but to agree.
He stared at her for a long tbefore slowly saying, "I can agree to register our marriage temporarily. However, this is only after we get a paternity test." He'd do anything to save the child if it was his.
However, if it wasn't, the Reeces could forget about getting any help from him.
Gigi froze. She sobbed harder, "Edgar, why won't you believe me? Those rumors are intentionally made to hurt my reputation." Edgar glared at her coldly.
"We have nothing to discuss without a paternity test."
"We'll do it!" Sam spat out, stopping Edgar from leaving. "I'll bring the child to get it done as soon as possible. You'll marry Gigi as long as the child is yours! If you break your promise, I'll make sure my daughter and grandson will see justice even if I have to lose everything I have!" Edgar's eyes grew grim.
"I've said it before. I'll be responsible for it." He glanced at Gigi knowingly, "Giveyour phone."
Gigi fumbled for her phone and handed it to him. "The baby was om sleeping in the crib when the nanny and went to the bathroom together. But when we cback, we saw Jean strangling him!" X
