Chapter 320 Chapter 320 Layers of Deception "I..." Jean was forced to look up. She had nearly lost control and told him her true feelings. Luckily, they were in Royden Group. Seeing the offices behind him jolted her back to her senses.
She immediately changed her tone. "True. You've never lost before. You must be confident you will win this time." Her slight sarcasm made him uncomfortable.
"I'm here to watch the show and see what kind of mess Royden Group will get itself in. Since you broughthere, how am I supposed to spectate?" After saying that, she turned around and rushed to the elevator.
Edgar immediately blocked the elevator door with his hand. What he said next shattered all of Jean's defenses. "I also recently discovered that Sam participated in that event years ago." Jean was stunned. He knows! Edgar looked at her with piercing, cold eyes. "Thus, you can stop matchingup with Gigi." He saw her startled reaction and knew he had guessed correctly.
Ever since Jean returned from that village, she seemed to have beca completely different person. All this while, he could not figure out why.
It was only when he heard from Ben that he understood. It turned out Jean gave Mr. Jevin many things. That was when Edgar realized Jean kept thinking about what had happened twenty years ago. That explained why she acted abnormally.
"You don't have to atone for someone else's guilt." As he said that, he reached to pull Jean out of the elevator. However, Jean cto her senses and reacted much more intensely than ever.
"Since you know that, I don't have to hide it anymore." Then, she steeled her heart and said heartless words, "You owe my father his life. What makes you think I want to be with the man who killed him?" She quickly pressed the button to close the elevator door.
Then, she turned away and refused to look at Edgar.
Soon, the door closed, and the elevator gradually traveled down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJean leaned against the cold elevator walls. Tears fell from her eyes even as she tried hard to resist them. She never wanted to hurt him this way.
But...
Since he insisted on a reason, she could only say that to conceal the truth. Otherwise, once the fact cto light, everyone would be embroiled in hatred again.
Edgar stood upstairs by the window and watched Jean rush to hail a taxi.
He kept frowning and could not relax.
Meanwhile, Miles finished dealing with the press conference and rushed over. "Mr. Royden. Sam and Andy brought out evidence, claiming that they heard the news about Royden Group's investment when meeting with other companies." They would not have to bear any responsibility if the claim was valid.
Then, Royden Group's lawsuit against them for conspiracy and stealing the company's confidential documents would beca laughingstock throughout the city. Moreover, the case would be struck out from court.
However, only Miles, Edgar's trusted secretary, knew the fact.
The fact that everything was within Edgar's control.
"Mr. Royden, since they are all downstairs, should I reveal Mr. Carling colluded with them secretly." Miles had acted on Edgar's instruction earlier and set up the first floor to capture everything. All they had to do was to wait for Sam and Andy to fall into the trap.
However, Edgar had changed his mind.
"Miles, I might not be in the company the next few days. Thus, you need to work with Uncle Edbert and deal with the matters in the company." Edgar took off his suit jacket as he spoke and gave it to Miles.
"Mr. Royden, where are you going?" "I'm going to give it another try." Edgar stepped into the elevator and ordered, "Cancel the original plan. This matter shall stop here." Miles was too shocked to speak. But since it was Edgar's order, he gradually gathered his thoughts and went to carry out the order.
No one knew where Edgar went.
The reporters rushed out excitedly, only to find Edgar leaving Royden Group in his car.
"I didn't expect this matter to turn around so suddenly. Edgar wrongly accused his father-in-law and the company's vice president. How is Royden Group going to collaborate with Reece Group?" "Gigi is still being detained at the police station for investigation. Do you think Edgar is going to get her out?" "No way. Edgar was caught having dinner with Jean last night.” The reporters made various guesses.
But soon, someone received the news.
"Quick! Go to the police station. Edgar is there to pick up Gigi." The crowd dispersed and left. Soon, Royden Group becquiet again. Contents belong to Andy walked out and saw the reporters chasing after Edgar. His face twisted into a scornful smile. "Edgar has already lost to me. Why are they still chasing after him?" On the other hand, Sam breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled. "Even if you can return to Royden Group, Edgar is still the biggest shareholder. You will always be trampled under his feet." "Is that so?" Andy's gaze grew ferocious.
Sam did not notice it. He was too busy being happy that he had escaped a disaster unscathed.
However, Andy warned him. "I wouldn't be so happy if I were you. Aren't you curious how the evidence of my meeting and phone yous how conversation with your daughter got into your study? Someone close to you must have betrayed you." Sam's expression darkened. He left in fury.
When he reached Reece Residence, he called Winnie over and scolded her. "Did you collude with Jean, that b*tch, to betray me?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWinnie immediately shook her head. "Why would I do that? I'm your wife. Of course, I wish for you to have immense wealth so that I can enjoy a luxurious life through you. Why would I betray you?" Her words made sense.
Sam stared at her for a while before replying viciously, "That had better be true. Otherwise, I'll kill you with my own hands." "Yes, yes. I'll never betray you." Winnie forced herself to smile.
"I'm tired, and I would like to have a bath. Prepare it for me," Sam said and lay on the couch.
Having resolved such a severe matter, he wanted a good rest.
Winnie responded with a smile, but her expression changed as soon as she cto the bathroom.
She knew Sam no longer cared about her, and her position in the Reece family was like a maid. As soon as he escaped the lawsuit, he was in a hurry to dress up again. It was likely to see his mistress.
Winnie turned on the tap and raised her wrist. She poured out swhite powder from within her bracelet and let it fall into the water in the bathtub.
Then, she stirred the water slightly with her hand, and the powder dissolved without a trace.
"Oh, Sam. I wish I could live with you for the rest of my life, but I hate betrayal too." It was no longer enough to make his mistress leave him.
She wanted the Reece family to fall like the Eyer family. Only then would she feel justified for what she had suffered.
Winnie finished preparing the bath for Sam. While he was taking a bath, she her used her free tto call Jean's number. I've done as you instructed and added the thing. Can you tellwhat it was?" X
