Chapter 79 Traps
Jean received a message from Winnie when she reached home last night, hoping that she would not tell the Reece family about their previous relationship.
Jean took a sip of the juice on the table. After calming herself down, she continued to watch the entertaining show put on by the three of them.
Jean was wondering when to tell Winnie that Edgar, who was sitting opposite her, also knew about their relationship. Edgar’s attitude was one of bored indifference.
“Edgar, I’ve talked to Gigi’s father. I’m sorry that we didn’t handle the incident well. I hope you don’t put the blame on Gigi. She knows nothing about the incident.”
Winnie smiled while serving herself a cup of tea, “Edgar, I’ll finish this cup of tea as an apology for my husband.”
Winnie spoke very loudly.
Those who don’t know them must have thought that she is Gigi’s biological mother.
Jean propped her chin and looked at Edgar.
The man slightly raised his head, “Did you guys come here just to tell me about this?”
He asked fiercely in a burst of impatience.
“No.” Gigi pushed Winnie anxiously, “Tell him quickly!”
Before going out that morning, Winnie promised Gigi that she had full confidence in restoring the relationship between Edgar and the Reece family.
Winnie patted Gigi’s hand, “Gigi, don’t worry. You are pregnant with Edgar’s baby. No matter what happens to the Reece family, Edgar will not draw the line with us. Otherwise, who will take care of you and the baby in the future?”
Geez.
Jean admired Winnie’s courage.
How dare she threaten Edgar with Gigi’s pregnancy?
Normally, a guy would pretend to compromise for his own reputation.
However, Edgar warned them coldly, “I will take responsibility for the baby, but we mustn’t lump our personal affairs and the Royden Group together.”
“Of course they’re related. If the Reece Group does well, you will benefit from us too. Besides, Carl’s car accident is still under investigation. How can you make sure that it’s related to the Reece family? Where’s your evidence?” Winnie smiled and said.
“I think we’re all framed by someone.”
“Who?” Edgar looked at Winnie.
“Jean.”
Jean was stunned.
How did they find out?
Is Monica in trouble?
Jean wanted to leave to check on Monica. But when she stood up, she heard Edgar saying, “Give me your reason.”
He doesn’t believe Winnie?
Jean turned around. Although she knew that Edgar couldn’t see her, she still felt nervous.
Edgar was staring coldly at Winnie.
“After Jean got out from prison, your wedding was ruined. Besides, the woman who got into a car accident with Carl is actually a friend of Jean.”
Jean snorted.
She sat back and continued to eat.
Miles, who had been watching Jean outside the door, sent a message to Edgar.
“Jean has no response. She’s enjoying her meal.”
Edgar stared coldly at his phone.
He had suspected Jean for a long time. He also prepared the show today to check on Jean’s reaction.
If she really went behind my back…
“She’s right, Edgar. I am suspicious of her motives too!” Gigi couldn’t hold herself anymore. “If it weren’t for her, we would have gotten married a long time ago.”
Winnie looked at Gigi, feeling really proud of her. She added, “I think both of you should get married as soon as possible. Also, you should propose a joint venture operation between the two companies. As Sam’s son-in-law, you should believe in him even if everyone doesn’t.”
Hmm, putting all the blame on me.
Jean was enjoying her spicy crab in the room.
“These are really delicious.”
Winnie has made the right guess, and Edgar planned this meeting because he is also suspicious of me.
She wasn’t afraid of facing Edgar, but she knew that he would probably lock her up if she admitted all her plans then. Besides, she hadn’t implemented the second step of her plan.
In the other room, Edgar was continuously tapping on the table.
Gigi looked at Edgar guiltily, “Edgar, do you think it’s her? I don’t think anyone hates you as much as she does.”
Edgar smiled contemptuously, “I have made many enemies over the years.”
In order to succeed, he had given up a lot of things and offended a lot of people. From his standpoint, he didn’t think that he was wrong. He had to step on others to rise to the top.
Gary Eyer was one of them.
Although Edgar was smiling, he looked miserable.
“How can Jean create such a big chaos by herself?”
It’s impossible that she can do all these.
Jean was still eating her crabs.
She spat out the shell of the crab and muttered, “Who are you looking down on?!”
Winnie smiled awkwardly, “I mean, it could be right?”
Winnie didn’t know what else to say to support her statement. She hesitated for a while, then took something out from her purse.
“This card was given to me by Jean yesterday. She asked me to help her keep an eye on Gigi, but I rejected her.” Winnie handed the card to Edgar.
“This card contains one hundred thousand and it belongs to Jean. The password is her birthday.”
‘Bang’.
Jean put down the chopsticks and stared angrily at Winnie.
She knew that her father had left her some money, but only then she realized that it was stolen by Winnie.
Edgar glanced at the card and said, “You were Jean’s father’s ex-girlfriend. Can I believe in you?”
Winnie smiled embarrassingly.
She grabbed Gigi’s wrist under the table and smiled at Edgar, “It’s all in the past. My heart belongs to Gigi and the Reece family now.”
“Is it true?”
Edgar sneered.
Winnie coughed, “Well, you can go and check it out if you really don’t believe in me.”
Edgar glanced in Jean’s direction again. He took her card away and got up, “Our wedding will be held on the day after tomorrow. Prepare yourself in advance.”
Gigi couldn’t help smiling when she heard what Edgar said.
“That’ll be great, Edgar. I will definitely perform well. I’m so happy.”
Winnie breathed a sigh of relief. If it wasn’t for Jean’s card, he probably wouldn’t trust me.
