Chapter 407: Chapter 407



.

Jeffery thought Jayden had betrayed Jolene, so he couldn’t let Matthew do it.

He couldn’t allow Jolene’s son to get close to Victoria.

Marina sighed. She knew what Jeffery was thinking. She was worried that the situation would escalate and destroy the close relationship between Jeffery and Matthew.

“Do you want to ask Eddie if he revealed the information?” asked Marina.

They had to find out the truth of the matter, otherwise Matthew might misunderstand Jeffery and a grudge would form between them.

Jeffery scrunched his eyebrows together with his fingers, “Make a call to Eddie and tell him I want to see him.”

Jeffery intended to ask Eddie some questions. This matter was really affecting Dolores, after all.

Fortunately, Matthew and Dolores kept their marriage a secret, so few people knew they were married. Dolores’s affair didn’t affect him much. Otherwise, the situation might get out of hand.

Marina went to the door and opened it. At the same time, Sean stood in front of the door and wanted to knock. They both met casually, “Mom.”

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be back for the next few days?” asked Marina.

Sean said with a smile, “I’ve changed my mind. By the way, Eddie’s here.”

gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․com has stories worth exploring Marina glanced over Sean’s shoulder and saw Eddie and Chloe behind him. She was going to call Eddie, but Eddie was here, so she didn’t have to make any calls.

Marina took Sean by the hand and walked out of the room, and looked at Eddie, “Jeffery is in the study. He has something to tell you, and he’s asking you to come to the studio now.”

Eddie nodded, and immediately knew what Jeffery wanted to tell him. Eddie had prepared the countermeasure when he revealed the information at the time.

“Chloe, you must be mature and firm,” Eddie looked stern, and admonished Chloe not to speak carelessly in front of Sean.

Chloe understood Eddie’s intentions and nodded, “I understand.”

Eddie then walked calmly into the study and closed the door. Jeffery got up and pulled a chair over to Eddie. They both sat down in front of the window.

“Surely you’ve seen the news on the Internet, haven’t you?” Eddie spoke first.

Jeffery nodded sincerely.

“I came to you about this matter,” Eddie said, and looked at Jeffery with a clear face, “It’s my fault for not doing things right.”

Jeffery was stunned because he thought it had been the Herbert Family that had done it.How could it be Eddie?

“Well, I knew the Herbert Family is anxious to get even with Dolores. I shouldn’t have suggested that he use Sampson to deal with Dolores at that time. I heard that Sampson was very fond of Dolores and the Herbert Family felt resentment against Dolores. So they gave wide publicity to this matter, and I knew it was the Herbert Family who did it. I didn’t mind when Landon said this at the time. I thought it was just big talk, and I didn’t expect him to go through with it,” Eddie said feeling guilty.

He soon changed the subject and said, “You and I joined the military at the same time. Our friendship is now a relationship of forgetfulness. I don’t hide what I think from you. Now the matter developed that way, and we can only push the boat with the current.”

Eddie made a clean slate. Jeffery could say no more, but he began to feel hatred against the Herbert Family.

Jeffery looked at Eddie, “You mean…?”

Eddie nodded, “It’s time to put pressure on Matthew.”

Jeffery hesitated. He wouldn’t hesitate to press Matthew if Dolores wasn’t pregnant. However, Dolores had conceived Matthew’s baby, and Jeffery feared it would be difficult for Matthew to relent.

“Why, you just barely now?” Eddie noticed that Jeffery was embarrassed and persuaded him, “Do we still have another way out? I’ve given up my beloved and only daughter.”

Jeffery understood that there was no turning back.

He couldn’t let Eddie down either.

“I’ll meet with him later,” Jeffery clenched his hands into fists.

“Does Noah know about this?” Eddie thought it was a little suspicious when Sean suddenly came home. Sean rarely came home growing up. He suddenly came home just then, and Eddie felt there was something wrong with that.

That’s why he asked Jeffery.

Jeffery shook his head, “I didn’t tell him. He has a good relationship with Matthew. Matthew helped Noah a lot when Noah didn’t come home. That’s why he can live quietly outside. He’s closer to Matthew than he is to me.” He didn’t dare tell Sean.

Jeffery understood and was glad Sean came home in time. Fortunately, Chloe didn’t go out with Sean. Jeffery didn’t know if Chloe could go back with them if she went out with Sean.

Eddie asked, “You haven’t told Noah. What about Matthew, would you tell Noah about this?”

After all, it wouldn’t hurt Matthew for Sean to know about this affair. Besides, Matthew could leverage Sean to support his side.

Jeffery replied confidently, “Matthew won’t tell him.”

He hoped Matthew wouldn’t put Sean in a difficult situation to tell him what he had done.

Eddie nodded and felt reassured if Matthew didn’t tell Sean about this matter, as it was good that fewer people knew. Eddie didn’t want to create another obstacle. He stood up, “I’ll go back first.”

Jeffery said, “Let me walk you out.”

They both walked out of the studio together. Marina had cut the fruit and placed it on the coffee table in the living room. She watched them leave the studio and said, “Please stay for lunch.”

“I’m sorry to turn you away. My wife should already be preparing lunch in the house.”

Eddie looked at Chloe and said, “Chloe, we should go now.” Chloe got up and followed Eddie to leave.

Sean couldn’t help but be curious about the subject they had discussed. He asked nonchalantly in a demanding tone, “What are you two up to?”

Sean tried to get words out of Chloe in the living room when Eddie and Jeffery were in the den. However, Chloe was not as straightforward as she was at Eddie’s house at the time. She didn’t say anything to answer his questions. That showed they had something to hide from her.

Jeffery was unhappy, “Who do you think you’re talking to?”

“I’ve got a good attitude, what are you and Eddie doing sneaky and underhanded?” Sean had a guess, but didn’t want to admit it. The Dolores thing had made a lot of noise. Ordinary people couldn’t do that. They also had to take the Nelson Family and the Harris Family into account, even if they wanted to.

However, now…

Matthew asked her to lure Chloe out of the house. Eddie and Jeffery were talking in secret. The matter seemed complicated, but it was simple. It was Eddie and Jeffery who did it. The reason Matthew asked him to lure Chloe out was to threaten Eddie and Jeffrey.

However, he didn’t know why Eddie and Jeffery wanted to do it.

Jeffery frowned and felt disgusted by Sean’s words. He thought, ‘Are they doing something sneaky?’

“Alibi! We were talking about business matters. do I still have to report to you? You’re not a kid anymore. Don’t you know how to respect people? China is known as the nation of etiquette. Look at yourself. Do you even know what etiquette is? Humph, a star? A star is just an artist in ancient times. You are still delighted with that. You’re such a low guy.”

Sean listened to her words until blue veins popped out on his forehead and he clenched his hands into fists.

Marina heard them next door, and it made her wince. She held Sean and said, “Noah, don’t be mad about it. Your father always has a temper.”

Sean scoffed and pointed at Jeffery, “When does he ever like me? Ever like the things I did? Just an artist? Well I’m going to be the most popular artist in China, I’ll see how he gets with me!”

“Noah, how can you talk to your father like that?” snapped Marina, “He’s your father. Don’t be so stubborn. You guys always fight every time you meet. You don’t sound like father and son.”

Marina’s eyes were swimming with tears. She was sad for them. Sean and Eddie were like enemies rather than father and son.
