Chapter 311 The Condition Is Simple
The video was obviously taken from an angle behind the door, but it was extremely clear. Jean was, in fact, choking the child.
“Thankfully, I rushed over just in time and picked up our baby. Otherwise, he would be in an even worse state. At the end of the day, our child has to go for treatment overseas after suffering so much. Jean is the main culprit, and I won’t let her go easily.”
There were traces of hostility in Gigi’s delicate eyes. Edgar carefully watched the video a few times and transferred a copy to his cell phone. He then looked at Gigi. “What else did she say?”
Gigi panicked. “Edgar, you can’t still believe her at a time like this? See for yourself. She was really choking our child to death!”
Her lamenting roused their child, who had been sleeping upstairs. Gigi gritted her teeth and got up. “Edgar, I’ve clearly said everything that I needed to. Think about it yourself.”
She immediately turned and went up the stairs. Sam sighed heavily, looking grieved and distressed. “I’ve said everything that I need to. You need to solve what happens between young people like yourselves.”
Edgar didn’t probe further. He got up and left. He had just put one foot out of the door of Reece Residence when Winnie received Ben’s call. She was rushing to leave when Gigi chided her.
“Where are you going?” Gigi asked arrogantly, without a trace of her grieved appearance. “I’m going out to meet a friend. I’ll be back soon,” Winnie said with a smile.
Gigi sized her up from top to bottom. She went back to her room and brought out a jade bracelet. “Here. You’re now the wife of the Reece family. Don’t dress in such an unpresentable manner. You’ll humiliate dad and me.”
To Gigi, it would only be a matter of time before Edgar would go through the marriage registration process with her. She would soon become the most powerful wife in the city, and she didn’t even need to wait upon her parents-in-law. There wasn’t anything better than this.
When she sent this child away, she just needed to give birth to a child that belonged to her and Edgar as soon as possible. When that time came, she would be able to control Edgar completely.
No other good news could surpass breaking away from Andy and Jean being detained by the police.
“Thank you, Gigi. I will put it on.” Winnie smiled and put the jade bracelet on her wrist. She took two steps out and suddenly thought of something before turning around to ask, “Gigi, are you really planning to sue Jean?”
She knew full well that the video had been distorted, and it was Jean who had suggested helping Gigi of her own accord.
If the father and daughter are turning something false into something true, won’t they feel sorry for Jean?
There was immediately a sharp expression on Gigi’s face.
“Of course. She’s the one who did this to my son. How can I forgive her easily? Even if I don’t pursue this matter, Edgar won’t just ignore it.” Gigi giggled. “She came to us of her own accord. You can’t blame me, can you?”
“But she was the one who saved you and your child after all. Otherwise, a DNA test would have been done on the child…”
Before Winnie could finish speaking, Gigi glared at her fiercely.
“Remember who you are. You’re a Reece. You’re not Gary’s mistress anymore.” Gigi snorted and turned to go back into her room.
Gigi had to go through post-partum recovery and get back into shape as soon as possible.
After being berated, Winnie sighed in frustration and got a cab to head to the police station.
When she went in, she saw that numerous reporters were waiting outside that had been employed by Gigi. She wanted them to report on the developments of the case in real-time to pressure Edgar so that he had no way to help Jean.
As long as it was blown up, even if Jean wasn’t found guilty, she still couldn’t retract her confession.
Winnie sat in front of the transparent glass. She wrinkled her brows, confused. “Why do you insist on seeing me? I came without their knowledge. If the father and daughter knew about it, they would definitely berate me.”
At her age, she couldn’t bear a child for Sam, so she had to do everything to please him. Otherwise, she had to make way for his woman on the outside.
It was rare for Jean to see Winnie pace up and down.
She chuckled. “I can make Sam break up with his lover as long as you work with me.”
“Really?”
Winnie was pleasantly surprised. She had spent an exorbitant amount of money on private investigators a few times, but she could only find the little minx’s address. She couldn’t even get a picture of that minx.
But she quickly came to her senses and looked at Jean with her guard up.
“If you were so capable, would Gigi still have sued you?” Winnie furrowed her brows. “You can barely save yourself, and you are powerless to defend yourself. You should just think about yourself. Gigi now has evidence against you. It’s impossible for her to cancel the lawsuit against you, unlike what was listed in your contract.”
Hearing what Winnie said, it was as if Jean had no reaction and was as calm as a cat.
“I know.”
Winnie was astonished.
At that moment, as she looked at Jean’s calm expression, she gritted her teeth. “Then you should know that you may very well be sentenced to jail. You already have a criminal record. If you go in for a few more years, your life will be over.”
“Mm. I understand.” Jean’s reaction was completely not what Winnie had expected.
She didn’t know what Jean was thinking about at all.
“Sam’s lover is named Quinn Snow. She’s twenty-six years old and is unemployed,” Jean said. She lowered her voice, “with one call from me, she will disappear from Sam’s side immediately.”
Winnie’s eyes lit up. She was completely invested.
“What is your condition? What do you want!”
Seeing Winnie act like she was willing to be taken advantage of, Jean’s smile deepened.
“If Sam knew that you were so infatuated with him, he would be very happy, wouldn’t he?”
Winnie knew that Jean was mocking her, but she really needed Jean’s help. Her tone immediately softened. “Jeannie, I’ve made many mistakes in the past, but I’m getting on in years. I just want to live out the rest of my life peacefully. If Sam marries again, I will only be swept out of the house.”
She knew her charm full well. She was no longer young. If she really left Sam, no one else would want her.
Hearing such sorrowful laments from her, Jean decided not to keep her in the dark.
“I want you to frame Sam. Push the responsibility of colluding with Andy to him.”
Jean tapped the table. “The things are with Ben. You just need to put it in Sam’s study room without anyone knowing.”
Winnie immediately shook her head. “No…”
Although she didn’t want to understand those business transactions, if Sam was involved in the Royden Group case, wouldn’t there be no safeguard for her for the rest of her life?
“Visiting hours are up.”
Jean could only get up. “Even if Sam is being investigated, it won’t affect Reece Group. He will just be taken into custody for a few days at most and be fined. Do you want Sam, or would you rather have the Reece family’s assets?”
The deeply suppressed desire in Winnie was awoken.
As Jean was being brought away, she cried out at once, “I’ll do it! I promise! I’ll do it right now.”
Jean nodded lightly as she was being led out.
Winnie foolishly walked out of the police station in a daze, and saw that Ben’s sports car had already been at the side of the road.
Meanwhile, Jean was brought to a solitary confinement cell. She looked at the thin, dark, and gray walls and sat down carefully before hugging her knees.
Only this way could she let Gigi come out of it unscathed.
