Chapter 210 No One Will Spill the Beans
“I’m not sure about the business side of things.” Gigi looked up and shook her head repeatedly. “I really don’t know…”
She felt that those things were troublesome. Every time there were guests in her house, she would hide in her room. Furthermore, that happened so long ago. How could she remember!
Jean’s eyes sank. She had not expected Gigi to say anything, but from Gigi’s expression, Jean could confirm that Sam had something to do with Eyer Group going bankrupt.
She treated the Reece family that way because they weren’t innocent. “The second question. When did Winnie and your dad get together?”
Gigi was finally faced with a question she could answer. She was afraid that Jean would get angry, so she quickly replied, “The summer of last year.”
“Go on,” Jean said in a cold voice as she stared at Gigi’s face.
Gigi’s voice got softer and softer. “I hated her at first. She always looked so gentle, but my dad was so crazy about her he was delirious. Although my dad had always had a woman on the outside, he had never said anything about marrying them. Winnie was the first.”
Jean mentally calculated the time.
From what Gigi said, it didn’t seem like a lie.
Winnie was indeed good at seducing men.
Otherwise, the Eyer family wouldn’t have been in such turmoil because of her.
“The third question…”
Jean was about to speak when a knock suddenly came from outside. “Ms. Reece, the things Mr. Shaw sent you are here. Should I bring it in now?”
This wasn’t Phoebe’s voice.
Jean instantly looked at the door and quickly walked behind Gigi.
She lifted her hand and locked it onto Gigi’s shoulder blade.
Gigi was in pain from being held. Feeling wronged, she cried out toward the door, “I’m sleeping. Let’s speak tomorrow.”
She didn’t know what Andy had sent to her.
But the relationship between her and Andy was a secret. Jean couldn’t know about it under any circumstance.
It was a shame that Jean had already known about it long ago.
She was afraid that someone would come in and wreck her plans. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done that.
“Alright, Ms. Reece. I’ll come again tomorrow,” The nurse said before turning to leave.
Jean stared in the direction of the door. She thought that it didn’t make sense.
If visitors needed Gigi’s consent to visit her, why would Andy send her things?
Jean kept away the things on the desk.
When she opened the door and walked out, Phoebe was nowhere to be seen at the door.
She moved sideways, wanting to leave through the emergency staircase when she suddenly saw light from the floor below. She immediately sneaked into a utility room at the side.
Right after that, the police walked over with a crowd of people.
Andy was leading them.
“Thanks for your hard work, Officer Gordon. Gigi can only be safe once the culprit behind the scenes is caught.”
The man called Gordon smiled as he nodded. “Don’t worry, Mr. Shaw. The two of you, go in to collect evidence. Everyone else, look for the culprit.”
“Yes, sir.”
The entire corridor was quickly filled with police officers.
Jean held her breath and stood nervously behind the door.
The screen of her cell phone suddenly lit up. It was a call from Edgar.
Jean immediately rejected the call, but he called again.
Holding her cell phone, she tried to decrease the volume of the vibration.
“How is it going? Did you find anyone?” Gordon asked his subordinates.
The voice was very close by. It was at the door!
Jean frowned and kept thinking of ways to escape.
“No, sir. Should we take a look downstairs? Maybe she heard about it and left.”
“That’s true. Team one and two, look for her downstairs.”
The sound of footsteps quickly went further and further away. The corridor was silent once again.
Jean sighed weakly. Who would tell her about it?
She glanced at the screen of her cellphone and laughed grimly. Did Edgar call her so that she wouldn’t get caught…
How could that be!
Jean stayed close to the wall of the utility room. She didn’t dare relax for a moment. She was listening to any sign of activity in the corridor. Soon after, Sam and Winnie rushed over.
Jean smiled lightly. What a coincidence. The husband and wife arrived the moment Andy left together with the police.
After that, there was the sound of people talking and Gigi crying in the room next door.
Jean slowly walked over and listened as she kept close to the wall.
“Why didn’t you tell me!” Gigi hit her bed with force. “I was frightened to death by her.”
“Don’t cry, Gigi. Your dad didn’t tell you because he was afraid that you would spill the beans and make that tramp suspicious.” Winnie comforted her. “She’s always been shrewd. If she saw through it and hurt you, that wouldn’t be good.”
“But didn’t you let her escape anyway?” Gigi gritted her teeth in anger.
Sam slapped his thigh with force. “Once Edgar gets back, call off the engagement immediately.”
Gigi was momentarily stunned.
“No.”
Her biggest wish was to marry Edgar. How could she…
“Then what do you want to do? Stick with him when you’re pregnant? It’s all because there wasn’t a wedding. Both times were ruined. My reputation is gone.” Thinking about it, Sam’s chest hurt.
Looking at the father and daughter’s impatient expressions, Winnie silently shook her head.
So unlike Gary…
But she still said patiently, “I don’t think it’s reached such desperate straits yet. Don’t we have a helper on our side?”
“A helper?” Gigi blinked. “You mean Andy?”
Winnie smiled and nodded.
She was experienced. With just one glance, she could tell that the way Andy treated Gigi was different.
As for the plan today, it had been suggested by Andy. If Jean hadn’t left, she definitely would have been captured.
With the offence of assault with intent, she could be locked up for at least a year and a half!
Winnie was mentally calculating the money she had taken from the Eyer family. She decided to cut off Jean’s escape route.
Only in that way could she peacefully become Mrs. Reece.
“He would help Gigi?” Sam hadn’t come to his senses. “But he’s the vice president of Royden Group. He’s obviously on Edgar’s side.”
Winnie shook her head. “Not necessarily. A mountain can’t have two tigers. No one wants to stand under the feet of someone else forever.”
Jean snorted at Winnie’s devious plan as she listened in the utility room.
She was just annoyed that she hadn’t noticed Winnie’s malicious heart earlier.
…
At the same time, Edgar was on the plane back to the country.
Miles informed him of everything that had happened in the hospital.
The man’s face slowly darkened. A sharp look streaked across his eyes. “Why did Andy go to the hospital?”
“I heard that Mr. Shaw wasn’t feeling well, so he went for a check-up.” Miles reported in a low voice.
The man frowned.
Who would go for a check-up in the hospital in the middle of the night?
“After the police searched the hospital, they couldn’t find anyone. Ms. Eyer must have escaped.” Miles subconsciously felt that Edgar wouldn’t be so angry after hearing that.
As expected, the coldness in the man’s eyes dissipated.
“What about Gigi?”
“Sam is handling the discharge procedures for her. She’ll be discharged tomorrow morning.”
Edgar pondered and after a while, he said, “Once the plane lands, go to the Reece’s.”
“Yes, Mr. Royden.”
Since somebody wanted to play dirty tricks behind his back, he would go and see for himself who was so bold.
