Chapter 322 Imposing Blame
She knows how much Edgar cares about her, yet she insists on making things difficult for herself. Why must she torment herself this way? After scolding her, Ben shook his head in self-derision. “I can’t let go either. Who am I to scold you?”
At the hospital, he helped Jean get a turn number and brought her to have a full body check-up. “The results will take an hour. Please wait in the waiting room.” The nurse left after saying that.
Jean felt more awake after a nap. As she took out her phone, a message popped on the screen: Do you not feel sad seeing your sister with your ex-husband?
Jean was stunned. Who sent this? By the time Ben returned with the prescription, Jean was nowhere to be found.
He searched the area twice, but his calls could not get through her phone. He kept feeling something was wrong and dialed Edgar’s number.
“Jean might have gone to see you.”
Edgar arched his eyebrows but did not say anything. However, a smile appeared on his face for the first time in three days.
He indulged Gigi all this while to make a certain someone jealous.
If he was being honest, even tonight’s banquet was prepared for Jean’s sake.
Miles came over and said, “Mr. Royden, we can begin now.”
However, Edgar took off his suit jacket and handed it to Miles. “You deal with the rest of the matter.”
Miles was stunned. “But…”
Many guests at the banquet came to congratulate Edgar and Gigi.
At this moment, Gigi and Sam stood by the banquet hall door to welcome the guests.
Someone brought a gift and congratulated Sam with a smile, “Mr. Reece, congratulations! Your trouble is finally over. From now on, Reece Group will only keep growing.”
“Thank you. Please come in.”
Sam was so delighted that he could not stop smiling.
Meanwhile, Winnie moved slowly behind him. “Sam, I’m not feeling well. I’ll go rest for a while.”
Disdain flashed across Sam’s face. “Sure.”
He felt Winnie was an embarrassment to his image and wondered if he should divorce her and marry Quinn.
His smile widened as he thought about having a young and beautiful wife.
“Welcome.”
Gigi chatted with Mona and the others for a while. Then, Mona teased, “Where’s your husband?”
“That’s right. You must bring your handsome husband out for us to see.”
Gigi smiled gleefully from their teasing. “He’s inside. I’ll bring him out.”
“Wow, Gigi, you’re so amazing. You can summon Edgar as she wishes. Remember how you always had to run after him…” The person suddenly realized she had misspoken.
Gigi’s expression darkened immediately.
“So what? All that matters is that he loves me now!”
Gigi grabbed her skirt and turned around to search for Edgar. However, Jean suddenly rushed out of the elevator and blocked her way. “We need to talk.”
“What are you doing here?”
Gigi screamed and wrenched her wrist from Jean’s grip.
“Did you contact Andy recently?” Jean glared at Gigi. “Answer me!”
“No. That’s my matter. You have no right to boss me around! Don’t you forget that although we worked together once, you are still being sued. As long as I don’t withdraw my claim, you will always be at risk of imprisonment. If I were you, I wouldn’t come here to cause a scene and embarrass myself.” Gigi snorted disdainfully, turned around, and left.
Jean was bursting with fury and desperately wanted to reveal the whole truth.
However, she could not bring herself to say it and swallowed her words.
Meanwhile, Gigi suddenly paused her step and turned to Jean with a sneer. “I should have invited you tonight and made you see how much Edgar adores me. However, I feared you would behave like a lunatic and ruin the banquet.”
Jean felt furious and hurt as she looked at Gigi’s expression.
She turned around and entered the emergency staircase at the side. “Don’t worry. I’m not interested in attending your banquet.”
Jean pulled out her phone and redialed the number.
But no one answered.
She stood on the dark staircase. Her gaze dulled slightly.
It wasn’t Andy. Whom could it be, then?
What is his involvement with the Eyer family? Why does he seem to know everything?
She rushed over here as soon as she saw the message, fearing Andy would do something to harm Gigi. But now, she realized it did not seem like Andy’s usual style.
As she was still considering the matter, a scream sounded outside.
Jean rushed out of the staircase only to be restrained by a few guards.
Gigi pointed at Jean and shouted. “It’s you. You must have done it.”
Jean was confused.
She did not know what had happened, but the guests behind Gigi were staring at her warily as if she had committed a heinous crime.
“She is vicious.”
“She probably couldn’t stand someone being happy with her ex-husband and did such a terrible thing.”
“I even heard she went to the hospital and nearly caused the baby…”
The guests kept gossiping about Jean at the side. They looked at her with disgust and condemned her in their minds.
Meanwhile, Gigi stared at her and clenched her teeth. “Jean, you’re insane! Even if you are jealous of Edgar and me, you shouldn’t have done this to me!”
Jean took a deep breath and asked calmly, “What have I done?”
“Are you still not admitting your fault?” Mona immediately pulled out a gift box from behind Gigi and tossed it to the floor.
A few dead rats fell out from it. There were also shredded black-and-white photos of Gigi.
“Are you still claiming you didn’t do it? No one hates Gigi as much as you!” Mona scolded furiously and shuddered. “It’s disgusting.”
“No…”
Gigi took a few steps forward and glared at Jean’s face. She enunciated each word. “I don’t care whether you’re behind it. I want you to scram now!”
She looked at Jean as if she wanted to murder her on the spot.
The hatred in her eyes would not be changed by anything, not even because they were biological sisters.
Jean finally understood something.
What was the point of all she did for Gigi?
“That’s enough. Jean, let’s leave.” Ben rushed over and saw everything. He felt sad about what Jean was going through.
With such an ungrateful sister, everything Jean did was wasted on her.
Furthermore, Jean did not plan to tell Gigi the truth.
If this had gone on, no one would understand Jean’s pain.
Jean looked down at the gift box before looking at Gigi again. “Do you think I sent this?”
Gigi snorted coyly. “Who else would?”
Mona added in support, “Who would do this other than you? Stop acting innocent. Only idiots would fall for your lousy tricks.”
