Chapter 335 Secret Exposed
After all, she had been chasing after Edgar for so long, so she naturally couldn’t bear to send him overseas, given his current condition.Andy seemed to read her mind, so he pulled her into his arms and gripped her chin.
“Hesitate no more. After getting rid of him, I’ll spend more time accompanying you.” His hand wandered on Gigi’s body mischievously. “Let’s get things done first.” Gigi kissed Andy and hummed, “I’ll wait for you upstairs.”
With that, she walked upstairs with her hips swaying. After all, she had to play her role as Edgar’s wife, so she left the rest to Andy.
The moment the lift door closed, Gigi was still gloating over her wonderful plan. No matter what, I’ll be the mistress of Royden Group. I wouldn’t lose out.
However, she had never thought that she had completely stepped on Edgar’s bottom line by doing so. She voluntarily chose the depraved route and could never turn back anymore.
Before this, Edgar had been giving her chances for the sake of the child, and he even allowed her to stay temporarily in Royden Residence. However, she consciously chose a road to a dead end, so she had to bear the consequences.
After watching Gigi leave, Andy curved his lips. He knocked on the car window and passed a cigarette to the driver. “There’ll be people waiting for you at the pier. They would know what to do.” The driver was startled. “Mr. Shaw, shouldn’t I head to the airport?”
Andy smirked. “Don’t take the words I say to a woman for real.” Edgar Royden, you must have never thought that the way your life ended is being thrown into the sea!
Holding a cigarette between his lips, Andy blew out a smoke ring. Just as the driver was about to depart, a familiar voice emerged from behind. “Excuse me, Mr. Shaw.”
Andy had heard this familiar voice countless times in Royden Group. His eyes widened in shock as he turned around.
“You!” Miles, whom he thought was lying unconscious in the ward, was standing in front of him at that moment!
Andy instinctively wanted to block the car with his body, but it was too late. A group of bodyguards who were dressed in black quickly surrounded him. Andy freaked out when the goons surrounded him. He was so annoyed that he cursed and scurried away from the side in a panic.
Bang! A hospital truck that was used to transport medical equipment happened to drive in from the side, and Andy was hit to the ground instantly.
Miles opened the car door and said in a servile manner, “Mr. Royden, the situation is under our control, and we’ve obtained the evidence and records. The hospital has agreed to cooperate with the investigation.”
Edgar hummed indifferently and got out of the car. He glanced around the car park, looking for someone. Miles glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, “Mr. Royden, it’s time to go. Otherwise, Mr. Edbert and the others might be here soon.”
Frowning, Edgar tightened his grip on the door handle. Suddenly, he caught sight of a dress hem behind a pillar from afar. Smiling, he closed the car door and strode over to pull Jean out.
Jean mumbled reluctantly, “I’m not leaving with you. Don’t touch me.” She only came to check out the scene because she was worried that Edgar would underestimate the situation, causing things to get out of hand.
Nonetheless, Edgar couldn’t care less about her intention and directly pulled her into the car. “Miles has invited a lot of reporters. If you refuse to go, are you planning to hold a press conference in the car park?”
His deep-set eyes were extraordinarily alluring when he smiled. That was obviously not Jean’s intention.
“Let’s go.”
Miles left behind to handle the situation while Edgar rushed to the airport with Jean.
“Do you really plan to leave?” Jean thought it was not the best time to leave now. If Andy had come around and invented a false countercharge against Edgar, the directors of Royden Group could have been deluded.
Even if Edgar was able to grasp everyone’s mind, there could always be an accident.
The suit-clad Edgar leaned against the back of the seat and knitted his brows.
“Hush.” At that moment, he was weary. His chest heaved rhythmically under his suit as he slowly held Jean’s finger with his hand. His mind was finally at peace.
Jean instinctively wanted to avoid his touch, but complicated emotions arose in her when she noticed his tired look. He must have spent a lot of time planning in the hospital these few days, and he had to guard against them lest they harm him while he was asleep. It must have been tough on him. Perhaps, he really needed a rest.
Jean clenched her fist and stopped struggling.
When they arrived at the airport, she immediately wanted to get out of the car and stay away from Edgar. Little did she expect Edgar to take out a DNA report. “This is the blood relation test result between you and Gigi. That’s the reason you always keep an eye out for her, am I right?”
“You!” Jean bit her lips indignantly and did not dare to stare at Edgar.
Why is he this shrewd? Why did he have to expose all my secrets?!
However, Jean had no intention of admitting it even though the evidence was presented to her. Edgar couldn’t do anything about her as long as she denied it.
“Edgar Royden, you’re indeed a scheming man.”
“Back at you, Ms. Eyer.” Edgar waved the test report and said, “Come with me. Otherwise, this document will be exposed immediately.”
Jean stood at the entrance and watched Edgar walk into the airport. She took a deep breath and cursed, “Damn it, Edgar!”
Meanwhile, Edgar stood near the entrance and waited for Jean as if he had known that she would come along. Jean walked up to him with a sullen look and remained silent.
Edgar had pre-arranged the flight tickets and hotel. Sitting on the couch in the hotel room, Jean gazed at the sea view outside the window and recalled what had happened in the past few days.
Wait a minute, Edgar’s plan is so meticulous. Things won’t stop here.
She took out her phone instantly and started browsing news about Yorktown’s business circle the past two days. Sure enough, after she exposed the news of Sam’s mistress, Reece Group’s share price plummeted to its new low, and two of its projects were forced to halt. However, despite the situation, Sam still appeared in a high-class clubhouse and met up with a mysterious lady.
Although the picture was unclear, Jean could recognize at one glance that the woman in Sam’s arms was Joey! Jean inhaled deeply and quickly scrolled to the next page.
‘Ranford International Intends To Collaborate With Reece Group.’
‘Ranford International Becomes the Greatest Winner This Quarter.’
Sam was fearless and didn’t even care about his company’s trouble because he got associated with Joey. But what secret was hidden behind the seemingly head-to-head transaction?
Jean continued reading the news when a figure appeared in front of her. Edgar had come out of the bathroom. Placing both hands on the couch, he uttered in a deep and magnetic voice, “Can’t you relax for a while?”
The disinfectant smell on his body was replaced with a pleasant scent from the body wash.
Jean’s heart skipped a beat. She instinctively drew away from Edgar.
“We need to talk, Mr. Royden.”
Edgar wore a wide grin and hummed, “Sure.”
