Chapter 355 Who Is Right and Who Is Wrong?
The corridor was in a clamor. There were many people behind this woman who came to fight for Julie’s justice. Rachel and other employees were defending Jean. “Please speak nicely. The situation now is unconfirmed.”
“How can I speak nicely? My daughter just started working at your company a few days ago, but such a thing has happened. Is your company even legitimate? You’re basically murdering for money! I want to sue you. I’m going to sue you…”
She shouted herself hoarse and clutched Jean’s collar tightly, pulling her down. “If anything happens to my daughter, I definitely won’t let you go!”
Jean’s collar was gripped tightly, but she couldn’t lay a hand on the woman. She tried her best to keep calm and said loudly, “I will pay for the medical bills and any emotional damage. Name your price.”
Although it wasn’t very thoughtful of her to put it as such.
But it was very useful.
The woman immediately loosened her grip. Her eyes shone radiantly, and she stared at Jean suspiciously. “Are you deceiving me?”
Jean could finally breathe.
She shook her head slowly. “Of course not. So many people are your witness.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” The woman’s voice was hoarse after shouting for so long. She made her way to a chair at the side and sat down, no longer acknowledging Jean.
Rachel furrowed her brows, and she supported Jean’s body. “Are you alright, Ms. Eyer?”
Jean nodded.
“How can such a person exist? She’s not concerned about Julie at such an important moment but… money instead.”
Jean turned and glanced at her. She said in a low voice, “Sometimes when people are at wit’s end, they have no other way.”
Who would cause such a ruckus in the hospital if they had the money and the status?
Jean looked at the light that was still on in the operating theater. Her brows wrinkled tightly.
“What’s wrong, Ms. Eyer?” Rachel saw that something wasn’t right with Jean’s expression and immediately asked, “Do you have food poisoning too?”
“No. I just think that it’s a little strange.”
There was a dozen of them. Why was Julie the only one who was sick? Before they ate, Julie didn’t mention any allergies. Furthermore, she ate and drank the same food as everyone else.
“Rachel, if the police or any reporters come here, tell it as it is. Tell everyone not to hide anything, nor should they push the responsibility onto Julie.”
“But wouldn’t this be bad for the company’s image?” Rachel was a little worried.
Julie’s family had a threatening manner, and Jean was guessing that they would quickly spread it to the media.
They would definitely play any sort of trick to get more money.
“That’s not important.”
Jean could vaguely remember that Eyer Group had met with a similar situation previously.
Her dad had told her that people shouldn’t falter during such situations because lies would never fully hide the truth. The more extravagant the embellishment, the more difficult a situation would be when the truth was uncovered.
After one day, Julie was no longer in a critical condition, but she had to be sent to the ICU because her body was still very weak.
“Definitely not!” Julie’s mom immediately said, “My daughter has been pampered and spoiled since she was young. I must be by her side to take care of her. If she’s sent to the intensive care ward, wouldn’t it mean that I can’t see her? Moreover, I know that each day inside will cost a lot.”
“If doctors here can’t treat her, we’ll go to a different hospital. How can you treat the patient like this?”
Rachel had expected such an outcome, so she immediately said, “The company will pay for all the expenses. You’re not from around here, are you? Ms. Eyer has arranged a hotel for you. Follow me.”
“A hotel? What great news! Will it be some shady guesthouse on a corner? Are you trying to trick me to leave, then…”
Rachel didn’t want to listen to her anymore.
“The car is at the entrance. It’s up to you if you want to come.”
“Huh? Young girl, watch your tone!” Julie’s mom blurted out.
She glanced at her relatives beside her and muttered to them, “Ever since Jules was young, that girl has been a loss on investment. I never thought that she would be quite smart when she grew up. Let her stay in the ICU. We can enjoy ourselves at the hotel for a few days. What a great turn of events.”
Rachel, who was walking in front of them, heard it all clearly. She really couldn’t believe that there were such parents in the world.
When she told Jean about it, Jean was very calm.
“Ms. Eyer, aren’t you surprised at all? Julie’s mom doesn’t care about her condition. All she’s thinking about is money.” Rachel had lived a life of no worries since she was young. Although she wasn’t very well-off, she had grown up in the palm of her parent’s hands. She had never met such people before.
After trouble hit the Eyer family, Jean saw the fickleness of human nature, along with the people that she had met in prison.
She didn’t have much of a reaction to all this.
“Rachel, the way her family conducts themselves has nothing to do with us. You just have to do what I tell you to. Do you understand?”
Rachel believed Jean firmly without any doubt. She nodded at once. “I’ve already informed the hotel manager, who will keep an eye out for their whereabouts. If suspicious people are interacting with them, we will be informed at once.”
Rachel blinked. “Ms. Eyer, are you worried that someone would use this to harm the company?”
“Mm.”
Jean’s brows wrinkled tightly once again. “Both the location and the timing of this mishap are too much of a coincidence.”
She didn’t rule out such a coincidence, but when it happened, she had to give it some thought to be on the safe side.
Sure enough, it was just as she had expected.
That night, Ranford sent over a contract termination notice. They refused to work with Eyer Group, and their reason for it was Eyer Group’s bad reputation.
But other than the company’s internal staff, no third party would know about Julie being in the hospital.
Shortly after, Jean received a call from the hospital. They informed her that Julie had left the hospital, but they didn’t know where she had gone.
Julie’s family was still enjoying themselves in the hotel, but Julie had disappeared.
“Look for her right away and report it to the police.” Jean could no longer keep calm. She had tried her best to be careful, but she had still fallen into a trap.
“Ms. Eyer, is it possible that Julie was fine at first, but she was bribed by Ranford International to scheme against us?” Rachel was getting smarter, and her mind was filled with absurd thoughts.
But there was such a possibility.
“Rachel, I’m going somewhere. You can head back.”
Jean got out of the car and hailed a cab to rush to the clubhouse.
Her cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Edgar.
She rejected the call.
She didn’t have the time to argue with him at that moment.
Behind the cab, the man in a black limousine furrowed his brows tightly. “Follow her.”
“Yes, Mr. Royden,” The driver answered.
Then, Edgar made a call to Miles. “Did anything happen to Eyer Group recently?”
“I was just about to report to you that Ranford International just sent Eyer Group a contract termination notice.”
The man’s eyes suddenly sank. “Find out the reason.”
He put his cell phone down and watched as Jean got out of the car and walked into the clubhouse. His hand that was holding onto his cell phone tightened. He got out of the car and caught up with her.
