Chapter 211 Hit Her Until Her Face Is Destroyed
Jean spent the night in the utility room of the hospital. When she woke up, the sky outside was bright. She sent Phoebe a text message then left with the staff elevator at the back.
Before she departed, she left a little present for Gigi. Winnie dealt with Gigi’s discharge procedures. When she got back to the room, she saw Gigi throwing things around in a rage. “I want to cut her up into a thousand pieces!”
“What happened?” Winnie frowned as she looked at the mess on the floor. “Don’t talk to me! I’m angry at everyone.” Gigi bit the corner of her lips. If she wasn’t pregnant, she would immediately look for Jean and get her revenge.
Linda, who was at the side, sighed. “Mrs. Reece, Gigi was frightened by Jean’s prank.” “What?”
Winnie thought that Jean had gone back. She looked behind nervously. Linda was momentarily stunned. Why was this family so afraid of Jean?
She explained, “Jean placed a few bottles emitting white smoke at the entrance of the washroom. Gigi remembered Jean threatening her with those drugs, saying that it would cause cancer.”
Winnie immediately covered her nose and mouth.
“The doctors took a look and said that it’s just vapor.”
Gigi was livid. “That tramp had the nerve to lie to me again. I’m going to kill her!”
Winnie breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced outside the door before going up to Gigi.
“Alright, let’s go home. Edgar is back. He’ll come see you at home in a bit.”
“He’s going to come see me?” Gigi had a joyful expression, but it quickly faded. “Why would he look for me on his own accord? Dad must have invited him over to talk about calling off the engagement.”
Thinking about this, Gigi was filled with sadness.
“That might not necessarily be the case. He was the one who wanted to come over. I think things are taking a turn for the better, but you need to keep your chin up. Don’t let him see you as a joke.” Winnie held Gigi’s hand and coaxed her.
“As capable as Jean is, she can’t beat the child you’re bearing, do you understand?”
“The child…”
Gigi’s hand stroked her lower abdomen.
Yes, she needed to keep the child.
But Jean warned her to not treat the child as a bargaining chip.
Gigi was feeling muddled and in a daze as she walked out of the hospital.
Seeing her like that, Winnie told her to make her complexion paler so that Edgar would feel compassion for her and be distressed that she was pregnant and in pain.
“When the time comes, you need to blame everything on Jean. Remember this.”
Gigi changed into a pair of pure white pajamas with lace. It so happened to outline the shape of her lower abdomen.
She looked down at her bloated figure.
“Will Edgar be moved with how I currently look?”
Andy used to call her at night, but not anymore.
With how she was now, would she even look attractive to men?
“Of course! Listen to me.” Winnie went forward and whispered to Gigi.
Gigi’s eyes lit up. “Alright, I’ll try it.”
Half an hour later, Edgar’s car stopped at the entrance of Reece Residence.
But he wasn’t alone. Other than Miles, he had brought Jean, who had just left the hospital.
It was just that Jean’s hands were tied up and there was something stuffed in her mouth.
She was talking non-stop, but not a single word was heard.
Edgar glanced at her coldly. “Keep quiet, alright?”
Jean was unhappy but she could only nod.
She didn’t want to be mute.
Edgar raised his hand and spun her around. He opened the car door and said, “I don’t believe you.”
Jean gritted her teeth. The car door at her side opened and she was brought into the house by Edgar’s bodyguards.
“Jean?” Gigi and Winnie were in the living room. They were shocked at seeing the woman who was brought in.
What was happening before their eyes?
Sam’s face was cold. “You’re here but why did you have to bring that woman along? Hasn’t the Reece family been humiliated enough?”
Gigi stood quietly at one side, just as Winnie told her to.
She was completely different from her usual pampered self.
She would look at Jean from time to time, as if she was traumatized from being tormented by Jean.
With just a turn of Winnie’s eyes, she started to join in the act that Gigi was putting up.
“Don’t be afraid, Gigi. We’re by your side. Edgar is here to see you.”
Gigi was about to respond when she looked up and saw Jean staring at her. “I can’t do it!”
She kept tugging at Winnie’s clothes and hid behind her.
Winnie was impatient because Gigi was not meeting her expectations, but she still patiently continued on the act. “Edgar, you can see that Gigi is really spooked. I think you should head back.”
“No…” Gigi immediately said, “Edgar, can you stay and be with me? Make her leave, please?”
Winnie let out a frustrated sigh.
Edgar was as indifferent as rain. His gaze swept past Gigi and he spoke directly to Sam. “What happened these few days has not only humiliated both the Royden and Reece families, but it has also affected the partnerships of these two companies. I believe that you, like me, don’t want to see a situation like this.”
Sam’s expression stiffened.
What Edgar said spoke to his heart.
He was the one who didn’t want to ruin the relationship with Royden Group, but he had his reputation to think of, so he couldn’t help but pressure Edgar.
If there was a way out of this…
Edgar narrowed his eyes and his thin lips tightened. “Mr. Reece, I brought over the instigator of this matter. Deal with her as you please.”
After he said that, he waved his hand and pushed Jean in front of them.
There were eight bodyguards standing in line behind her.
Jean had nowhere to go.
She was furious at Edgar. In all her plans, she had never expected him to bow in favor of the Reece family.
An expression of disdain flickered across the man’s eyes. “Don’t worry, Mr. Reece. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.”
Even if Jean died at Reece Residence, he could erase every trace of it.
Jean frowned as she stared at them. Her eyes were filled with fury.
She had been careless.
“Really?” Gigi’s face lit up with delight. She went to Sam without trembling as she did just now. “Dad, you heard him. Edgar is still thinking of me. He captured Jean.”
Winnie wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
Gigi went in front of Jean.
She raised her hand and slapped Jean.
She slapped with full force. Jean couldn’t steady herself and stumbled backward.
“This is for when you locked me on the balcony at the hospital.”
Smack.
Another slap.
“This is for when you schemed and sent me to the psychiatric ward!”
She vented her anger with each slap. She raised her wrist again but was stopped by Edgar.
“Don’t stop me, Edgar. I want to hit her until her face is destroyed!”
