Chapter 126

Chapter 126 In Hindsight

Gigi was about to cry out of frustration. Winnie appeared from behind Gigi. “Gigi doesn’t feel well from her pregnancy and just wanted to have a walk. That’s not a surprising thing. Why are you scolding her first thing in the morning?”

She poured a cup of tea for him as she defended Gigi. After handing him the cup, she massaged his shoulders. Men would usually fall for the trick. Sam was no different.

“I won’t be this angry if Gigi is half as reasonable as you are.”

Gigi was sobbing softly at the side. Her expression was icy even when she saw Winnie. Winnie didn’t seem to care as she continued to stick up for Gigi. “I think it’s good for Gigi to meet Edgar. The business between the men shouldn’t involve the families. It will be awful if people think that we are the ones leaving the Royden family out in the cold.”

Sam agreed with her reasoning.

His expression softened. “You’re just spoiling her.”

Winnie smiled as she led Gigi out of the house.

“I heard that Mr. Ludwig was in an accident with Jean. It doesn’t have anything to do with you, right?”

Gigi’s heart skipped a beat. “Of course not, the accident happened in their race!”

“That’s good. No worries, I was just asking. Go on then, talk things out with Edgar.”

She sent Gigi off.

Gigi nibbled on her lip in the car. She ordered the driver to drop her off before they reached the hospital.

She entered a sedan that was stopped nearby.

Andy was waiting for her in the car.

He put his hands on Gigi as soon as she entered the car.

“Don’t touch me. Tell me, are the people you hired reliable? Will I be involved if people start investigating?” Gigi panicked when Winnie questioned her.

Andy smirked as he caressed her back. “They won’t find anything. I’ve sent those two men overseas. No one will realize that Ben Ludwig’s car has been tampered with. Besides, the Ludwig family has been busy with Ben’s hospitalization. No one would even suspect that someone had done something.”

“That’s a relief…”

Gigi sighed. Andy pulled her into his lap.

She felt him kissing her all over. His hands crept down her body.

She stopped his hands. “I have to meet Edgar. You can’t mess up my clothes.”

The man’s eyes turned cold. “Do you really want to marry Edgar that much?”

She smiled. “Of course. All of this is so that I can marry him.”

She straightened her clothes and made sure that her appearance was neat in her reflection. She left the car and headed to the hospital.

Andy slammed his hands onto the steering wheel.

The car’s honking was ear-piercing.

“Which part of me doesn’t measure up to him?”

Edgar was better than him in business. Even their relationships with woman…

Andy stared ahead coldly. He gripped the steering wheel. “I’ll make all of you look up to me one day.”

Gigi asked around for Jean’s room. When she failed, she went to Ben’s room.

Ben was nowhere to be seen in the room. Farra was tidying up the bed.

“I can’t find Jean, and now I can’t find your son either!” Gigi was annoyed.

Farra looked at her stonily. “Please leave. You are not welcome here.”

She wouldn’t have told Gigi about the race venue if Gigi hadn’t mentioned anything about crushing Jean.

Farra stared at Gigi icily. She might have something to do with Ben and Jean’s accident!

But she didn’t have any evidence.

She could only curse her out internally.

Gigi saw through Farra’s thoughts. “You’re being rather rude to me. Should I reveal that you had something to do with your son’s accident? I wonder how your husband will react. Is his son more important than his viper wife?”

“Shut your mouth!”

Farra clutched Gigi’s collar, glowering. If only she could tear her mouth off.

Gigi struggled to get out of her grasp. “What’s the point of arguing with me now? This accident has nothing to do with you or me. The one who has caused this to happen is Jean! Do you understand?”

Farra released her grip. She stood in her spot blankly and broke down in tears.

It’s my fault. I was blinded by my hatred….

Gigi smoothed her clothes down. “I’m not afraid if you are to run your mouth. I have the recording of our conversation. Worst comes to worst, we’ll just go down together.”

“Get out, you snake!” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Seeing that Farra was livid, Gigi left in disdain.

Left alone in the room, Farra collapsed to the ground. She stroked the bed with her quivering hand. “Benny, I’m really sorry. I’ll let you do anything you want to if you wake up. You can like whoever you want. I won’t force you anymore. Please…”

As Gigi left the room, she noticed Miles heading in her direction in a hurry.

She sped up to him. “Where’s Edgar?”

“Ms. Reece?” He looked back at Ben’s room subconsciously. “Mr. Royden is busy.”

“What is he busy with? Explain yourself.” She couldn’t stop him and only followed him as he turned back to Ben’s room.

When Farra saw that Gigi had returned with Edgar’s secretary, a distressing thought crossed her mind.

“My son, is he…” She covered her mouth as tears overflowed her eyes.

Miles caught her in time. “Mrs. Ludwig, Ben is awake. The doctors are examining him a few floors above. They will send him back here soon. You can relax now.”

Farra passed out as her burden lifted.

Miles placed her down on a bed with a nurse. When he turned back, Gigi was gone.

His face was frosty as he left in a hurry.

Gigi went around the wards for inpatients but didn’t see Edgar and Jean. She was sure that Edgar had always been there with Jean since the accident happened!

She gritted her teeth.

“Those idiots. What did they do that she was only slightly injured?”

She surveyed the empty corridor before leaving the hospital, livid.

Miles was hiding behind her and managed to record her words. He entered Jean’s room with all the evidence he had collected.

He passed through the room into another connected room. Edgar was flipping through documents on the sofa.

“Mr. Royden, I have news.”

Edgar had a grim look in his eyes. “Who is it?”

“Ms. Reece.”

Miles displayed the evidence he had collected. “Ms. Reece wasn’t there when the accident happened. But she bribed two of the workers at the service center to tamper with the car’s brakes. They were

trying to flee overseas when our men cornered them at the airport.”
