Chapter 202 Causing More Trouble

The following morning, the news reported that Edgar was hiding a woman in his house. Furthermore, Gigi barged into the house late at night and witnessed something she shouldn’t have. The ‘mistress’ even pushed Gigi to the floor, increasing her risk of having a miscarriage.

Thus, the reporters swarmed the hospital, but Edgar’s bodyguard pushed them out. Despite Royden Group’s powerful status, the reporters refused to leave. “Who do you think is the mistress…”

“Must be his ex-wife!” The reporters gathered in groups of threes and fives along the hospital corridor. As they were whispering amongst themselves, they saw a slim woman walking their way.

The reporters were stunned for a moment before pulling out their cameras to snap photos. That woman is Jean: the person who caused Gigi to nearly miscarry!

“Ms. Eyer?” Miles, who was keeping watch outside the patient’s room, rushed to Jean. “What’s the matter?”

Jean looked up while holding a flower basket. “I’m here for a visitation.” If it wasn’t for the message I received from the debt collection company this morning, I wouldn’t have come here. How dare they oppress me this way?

It is bad enough that they ruined my reputation. They are even pushing me toward a dead end. Let’s have a direct confrontation then. We’ll see who wins in the end.

“Mr. Royden is not here, so it’s best that you don’t go in.” Miles hesitated for a moment and decided to stop Jean from entering. Edgar only instructed them to keep out the reporters but did not mention Jean.

However, Miles still felt he should stop her. Otherwise, there would be more trouble. “If Edgar scolds you, you can put all the blame on me. However, I must get in there!”

How dare she use her baby to put on a front?

I’m going to teach her a lesson today. “Ms. Eyer, please don’t make things difficult for us.” Miles took another step forward and extended his arms to stop Jean. “Edgar, you’re here just in time.”

Jean glanced somewhere behind Miles with a surprised expression. “Mr. Royden?” Miles frowned and turned around. Jean took this chance to dash into the patient’s room.

Gigi was a pregnant woman. Thus, Miles and the bodyguards could only remain outside the room and keep watch. They exchanged glances after Jean was gone, but no one dared to enter the room.

“Inform Mr. Royden immediately.”

“Yes, Miles!” Gigi was leaning against the head of her bed and playing with her phone. When she heard the door open, she thought Edgar had come to see her.

Thus, she quickly hid the phone under the pillow. “Stop acting.” Jean tossed the flower basket on the floor and stared at Gigi’s face. “How did you get in?”

Gigi clenched her teeth and stared at the door. “Those useless trash can’t even guard the door properly.”

She was afraid Jean would seek revenge for what she did, so she instructed Linda to release some information this morning.

She planned to use public opinion to force Jean to surrender.

However, Jean barged into the hospital instead.

“You nearly miscarried because of me. How can I not come to see you?” Jean smiled and slowly walked toward Gigi.

Gigi retreated in panic. Her eyes widened with fear.

Then, Jean blinked innocently and said, “Why are you suddenly so quiet? Have you forgotten how to speak? Oh, I nearly forgot. Are you worried that I am recording?”

Gigi’s gaze grew in panic as Jean exposed her fear.

“I didn’t prepare a recording device today. I don’t need it to deal with someone like you.” Then, Jean glanced around before pulling a chair and sitting beside the bed.

“What are you up to?” Gigi screamed, “Is anyone outside? Please come in and take this crazy woman away!”

She is not only an idiot but a coward too.

Jean cleared her throat and looked at Gigi’s face. Then, her gaze traveled down to her belly.

“Don’t you dare look at my baby…”

Gigi realized something was not right.

“You keep using your baby as a pawn. Are you even fit to be a mother? You clearly aren’t.” Jean curved her lips into a malicious but alluring smile. However, her gaze was sharp as knives. “When you made yourself fall at the villa, have you ever considered that it disqualified you from being a mother?”

Gigi was rendered speechless.

As Gigi was about to retort, Jean suddenly stood up and pinched Gigi hard on her shoulders. Jean latched onto Gigi’s hospital gown with her fingernails and said, “Not everyone deserves to be a mother, especially a vicious woman such as you.”

“Let me go! It’s not my fault that you miscarried your baby!” Gigi shouted. She could not stand it anymore.

Smack!

Jean slapped Gigi’s face.

The crisp noise resounded throughout the room. Gigi felt dizzy from the slap and instinctively moved to the other side of the bed.

She wanted to hide on the balcony.

Who knows what Jean would do when she goes crazy?

Jean thought she had moved fast enough to escape Jean. However, as soon as she got onto the balcony, Jean locked the balcony door.

Then, right under Gigi’s watch, she tossed the key into the toilet bowl and flushed it.

It was cold and windy on the balcony. Gigi could not help but shiver in her thin hospital gown.

She was bursting with fury, but there was nothing she could do except to glare at Jean.

Jean turned around and looked at the bed. She took out the phone Gigi hid under the pillow. As Gigi was caught by surprise, she forgot to turn off the screen. Thus, Jean could access her phone without needing Gigi’s fingerprint for authentication.

Gigi panicked the instant she saw Jean checking her phone.

“Stop! The phone contains my private matters. You can’t look at it.”

There were only recordings of her conversation with Edgar. There are many other things too.

Since Edgar never paid attention to her phone, she never thought of deleting those things.

However, who would have known that Jean would get her hands on her phone?

Gigi pressed her hands firmly against the glass door and stared at Jean’s enviably beautiful face.

“The contents of your phone are interesting.” Jean waved the phone. “Do you want it back?”

Gigi’s eyes brightened.

“Should I let you in too?”

Gigi trembled and nodded eagerly.

Jean smirked and said, “Dream on.”

A gust of wind blew, causing Gigi to shiver from the cold.

Do I have no choice but to watch Jean leave with my phone?

No…

Gigi panicked with fear.

What if Jean shows the phone to Edgar?

What if she sends the contents to the paparazzi?

As Gigi was busy thinking, someone shouted from below, “Why is someone standing on the fifteenth- floor balcony?”

Gigi had a sudden idea.

She shouted as loud as she could, “I’m going to jump! I don’t want to live anymore!”

That’s right. I should cause a big scene and blame everything on Jean.

Even if she manages to send out the things on my phone, I can claim Jean faked them!

With that in mind, Gigi gripped the balcony railing with both hands.

She braced the cold wind and let it flutter her hair.

Soon, a crowd gathered below.

“Stay there!”

“Someone inform the hospital staff immediately.”

“I think that floor is the maternity ward. Could that woman have postpartum depression? What caused her not to want to live?”

Meanwhile, Miles and the others rushed into Gigi’s room after Jean left.

They found Gigi trapped on the balcony. She looked like she was going to jump down.

“Ms. Reece, Mr. Royden will be here soon!”Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
