Chapter 238 A New Beginning
“What? Jean, you b*tch! I won’t let this matter rest!” Gigi yelled in annoyance while being brought away. Finally, silence fell on the narrow staircase. After washing up, Jean looked at the unfamiliar expression on her face in the mirror.
There was a sarcastic smirk on her face. “I haven’t even gone to you, yet you decided to take the first move. In that case, don’t blame me for being cruel.”
She had read through the documents sent by Zenith, and it matched her recent findings. The mastermind behind the bankruptcy of Eyer Group and the Eyer family was Edgar.
Apart from that, some people took advantage of her father’s illness by taking away the last hope for Eyer Group. For example, Winnie, who took the money and left, and Sam, who was in contact with her father without anyone knowing.
In addition to both of them, there were a few acquaintances who did the same.
After calming herself down, she left her apartment.
I’m going to expose them, and I will make them feel the pain of losing their entire family.
At this moment, Jensen was already parked outside of her apartment. When he saw her, he got out of the car and waved to her.
Taken aback, Jean walked over and asked, “Why are you here?”
He merely passed the car keys to her quietly. “This is a rather secluded area. Since you live alone, my dad wanted you to be safe, so having a car would be better for you.”
Jean looked at the car behind him. It was an average black sedan that would not stand out anywhere.
“Please thank your father for me. I’ll return the car in a few days,” she said as she took the keys from him.
He did not really mind when she would return the car, but he lowered his head and asked, “Can you send me to the train station?”
Jean laughed when she saw his demeanor. “Of course.”
He did not mention a word about the suitcases he had brought her the day before. On the way, he merely chatted with her about their day-to-day life. His mother was going to organize an event, and he invited her as well, as long as she had the time to join.
“Is it at Knox Residence?”
“Yeah.” Jensen looked straight ahead warmly.
Jean tightened her hold on the steering wheel as she stopped the car at a traffic light. “I’ll let you know.”
If they are going to Knox Residence, it’s highly likely that Edgar is also invited. After all, he’s quite close with the Knox family.
Suddenly, Jensen turned around and smiled at her. “You are very different now that you’re grown up.”
“Is that your opinion, or your father’s?” Jean joked. Ever since they met, he had been passing his father’s message along, and she envied that about him.
If only my dad was still around. I’ll listen to his advice and be obedient. Unfortunately, …
Screech!
She lost her focus, and a truck sped past her. If Jensen had not steer the car away just in time, they would have been in danger.
“Are you alright?”
He immediately unbuckled his seat belt to make sure that Jean was fine.
She shook her head nervously. “I’m sorry. It’s been a while since I last drove a car. I’m still not used to it.”
He frowned at her, but his gaze seemed to reach the depths of her soul.
Nevertheless, he reminded her to be more careful on the road.
She hummed in agreement. When they arrived at the train station, he got out of the car and slowly walked down the staircase until he slowly disappeared in the crowd.
In comparison to Ben, Jensen was an obedient child.
He grew up following the plans Zenith had for him. All his friends, including the ones he made in university, were approved by his family.
Grabbing the steering wheel tightly, she took a deep breath and slammed her foot down on the accelerator in the direction of Royden Group.
However, she was not there to see Edgar this time.
Instead, she went to a real estate agent. “I would like to rent an office.”
“Just one floor?” He shot her a glance. People of his profession were observant – they could tell how much she could afford just by looking at her.
After looking at her, the agent did not have much interest. Clearly, his assessment was correct – she didn’t wear any branded clothes, and even her handbag was cheap. Even though she was elegant and beautiful, looks alone would not earn any money.
“You have to take at least three floors here. I suggest you look elsewhere.” Such a reply was already considered polite.
Yet, she did not budge.
Every real estate agency had some areas controlled by them. This particular agency was the closest to Royden Group, so she did not have another alternative.
She took out the card given by Winnie back then and slammed it on the table. She had saved up quite some money during this time.
“I would like to have a look at the first floor, where I can see Royden Group. If I like it, I will sign the contract today.”
The agent froze upon hearing that.
“Alright, I’ll show you around, but the rental around this area is not cheap. You’d better be prepared. Are you starting a company?” he asked as he fumbled around for the access card.
She looked at Royden Group and nodded.
I’m going to place Eyer Group at the best spot for it to shine!
After signing the contract and walking out of the agency, she became a poor person once again.
She had been starving for a few hours, yet she could only afford to buy mineral water.
Perhaps she was in God’s favor – Jimmy called her.
“The draft was approved, and the boss is very satisfied. Give me your bank account – I will transfer the money to you right away.”
She quickly agreed.
“Why don’t you work for me? The time is flexible, and we can discuss the pay,” he asked with a smile.
Jean’s design was fresh and creative. As a newbie, the only thing she lacked was experience. He was confident that she would make a name of herself if she was given more time.
“Can I do that?” She immediately stood up. “I’ll head over to your shop right now. Let’s talk in person.”
She was determined to grab any opportunity that came her way.
After leaving Mon & Co., she would occasionally receive some messages from Sandy, who was employed at the company as a junior designer, while Kellan had extended his contract.
Both of them were a couple now, and they would head to the office together every day, having a sweet time.
However, the internal examination still remained at Mon & Co., so only the best works could stand out. Even though they could get some work, there weren’t many opportunities.
On the other hand, Jimmy was running a private store that handled custom designs, and his customers were socialites from the upper-class society, celebrities, or millionaires.
When they were swamped by orders, they needed a lot of manpower. As long as the customer was satisfied, it would be good to go. On top of that, because it was a custom-made order, it would cost a lot, and there were more opportunities there.
It’s all thanks to Melody and Monica that I could get such a rare opportunity.
“You have good technique; all you need is time. Coincidentally, I have an order here that suits you. Would you like to take it to practice your skills?”
With that, he put the contract away and showed her a picture.
The bracelet looked lavish and exquisite on the wearer’s fair hand, making her look mystical and ethereal.
Jean looked closely at the design and frowned. “This customer is the same as the last, isn’t it?”
