Chapter 234

Time marched forward.

The dead did not return.

To claim anything at this time is absurd.

The plane was still experiencing turbulence, and Edgar scowled as his previous issue cropped up again.

No matter what she did, Jean could not repair the tragedy that had already occurred.She continued looking at the other side.

“Be careful! Passengers, please return to your seats”

The stewardess shouted, trying to control the situation.

“I want to see the captain”

Someone yelled, and then rushed forward from the cabin behind.Two or three men pushed the stewardess to the ground.

“Move!”

It was a really tumultuous situation.

Chaos spread throughout the cabin.They saw the few passengers in business class and noted how safely they were seated.

The man spat on the ground.

“Do you rich folks enjoy this? If we die, you’re dying with us’ They swept a wide-eyed glance around before focusing on Jean.The crowd reached out to pull her up.

“Don’t touch her.”

Suddenly, Edgar’s face became darker.He used the chance to unbuckle himself and seized the man’s wrist.

“This has nothing to do with you!”

The man was no longer persuaded.

He turned around and sprinted at Edgar after making an offensive gesture.

Jean’s eyes widened.

“Don’t…”

Unconsciously, she yelled.

For a window of the period, Edgar’s attention was diverted to her.He was promptly punched hard on the side of the face, and as a result of the turbulence in the aircraft, he crashed against the door.His forehead was injured, although it’s unclear where.

“Blood!”

The man panicked and staggered to the side to hide.

“I didn’t touch you.You fell down by yourself.

The flight was still erratic due to the turbulence.

When two security guards approached, they dragged the unruly passenger to the rear.The chaos gradually died down.

“I’m sorry, Mr.Royden.Are you alright?”

As soon as the turbulence was over, the flight attendant hurried over to see how Edgar was doing.

Jean said softly, “Give him a glass of water They approached him and helped him up.Edgar grasped the seat in support and got to his feet.He stood up, his face chilly and pallid, but his first action was to clasp Jean’s fingertips and feel the little warmth of her palms.His eyes began to relax.She’s okay.When Jean jerked her hands back, the man turned to face her, a trace of disappointment was painted on his expression.The entire crew expressed their apologies for the accident just now.

They came over several times to apologize to Edgar.

“Those two passengers have already been contacted, and they will come over to apologize to you when the plane lands.”

“We have already ordered a medical van to wait at the airport; the co-pilot said after repeatedly confirming Edgar’s health.

“Please make sure to do a comprehensive inspection: Edgar raised his hand.

“There’s no need.”

“But…”

The co-pilot could only nod in response as he glanced over, saying, “Okay, let the flight attendant know if you need anything later.”

One by one, the cabin’s lights began to turn on.

Jean turned away from him and sat down.

“When the plane lands, Miles will come in to pick you up.You will go with him.”

“What if I say no?”

She wasn’t Gigi.She wouldn’t be manipulated by him.

Edgar’s face darkened, “Can you listen to me for once?”

“The traffic accident is still under investigation.Maybe the real culprit behind the scenes will try to attack you.Do you have to confront me in this situation?”

Jean went cold.She was not a fool.

If what Edgar stated about the situation was accurate, she should stay with people from the Royden Group for safety.

“Can you track down the murderer?” Jean questioned.

Royden Group was very powerful, but at the same time, they had made many enemies.

Could he learn what happened before the cops involve themselves? Her mind was everywhere, and she was unable to think clearly.

“While I figure out who is behind all this, have some respect for your own safety.Understood?”

He was gazing intently at her.

Jean could only muster a nod.

“Understood”

After getting off the plane, she got into Miles’ car, and was taken directly to Edgar’s villa.

As soon as she entered the door, Susan came over with a blanket.

“Here, you poor thing.”

“It’s okay, I’m not cold anymore.Thank you, Susan.”

Jean gave her a smile.She experienced an unexplainable sense of familiarity at this very time.

When a notion of this nature entered her mind, Jean scowled and shook her head in an effort to push it away.

“Ms.Eyer, please stay here temporarily.If Mr.Royden has any other orders, I will send a car to pick you up again.”

After Miles finished speaking, he nodded to Susan and walked away.

When Susan helped Jean remove her coat, she was horrified to discover some blood on her cuff and said, “Are you injured?”

“No.”

Jean thought about the scene on the plane, and said softly, “It’s Edgar’s blood.”

“What?”

Susan wanted to question her further, but Jean had already moved toward the kitchen.She hadn’t been able to eat well during her time at the hospital.She downed a large bowl of oatmeal in one go before passing out on the couch.

Susan wrapped a blanket around her and sighed quietly.

Everyone in Royden Group was unable to remain still as soon as word of Edgar’s return to Westburgh circulated.

They hurried to Edbert’s office.

“Mr.Edbert, we had nothing to do with this.It was Mr.Shaw’s doing! He ordered us to do this!”

Mr.Hart was the first to blame Andy Shaw.

Someone beside him began to chime in.

“That’s right, we have always supported Mr.Royden.Although your recent…”

“What’s wrong with me recently?”

Edgar pushed the door and walked in; his eyes filled with rage.

“Mr.Royden!”

Several directors stood there one after another and was silent.

“Edgar, you’re back? How’s Jean doing?”

Edbert looked concerned, then glanced at the directors, and waved his hand, “You guys go first.We can discuss it tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Mr.Hart and the others hurried away.No one dared to stay any longer due to Edgar’s intimidating demeanor.

Edbert closed the door.

“You are equally accountable for this situation.If you quit the organization at this key point, people will undoubtedly speak about it.However, because you have already completed the task, you do not need to be concerned about the firm.I’ve already dispatched someone to handle it.”

“Thank you, Uncle.”

“What’s the deal with your face?”

Edbert was concerned.

“Your father has been gone for so long, and I have always treated you as if you were my own son.I’ve always backed you in anything you wanted to do, but you went a bit too far this time.” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Edgar lowered his head.

At the moment, he could only listen to what Edbert had to say.

“By bringing Jean for treatment, you not only harmed the harmony with the Ludwig family, you also tarnished the Knox family.These are trivial matters” he scolded.

“But you are engaged with Gigi, how do you plan to deal with this issue?”
