Chapter 440

Joseph observed Jean’s expressions closely, “Pretend I didn’t ask anything then.The police can’t interfere with your personal life, but please let us know if you’re being threatened or meet any unforeseen circumstances.”

Jean nodded in understanding, “Thanks, Officer Bunnings.May I know why you’re looking for me?”

Joseph was about to reply to her when some other police ran over.

“Sir, Edgar Royden’s lawyer is at the police station.Should we go over now?”

Joseph hesitated for a moment when he glanced at Jean.

“Ms.Eyer, I think it will be better if you come with us.”

“Is this regarding Edgar and Sherry Summer?”

“Yes.”

“My apologies, Officer.I don’t have time.”

Jean opened the car door and got up without a glance back.She walked faster and faster.

The two have nothing to do with me.

Jean crossed the road and grabbed a cab home.

“Dispatch two undercover agents to protect her twenty- four-seven.I think someone is plotting something bad.”

Joseph ordered the policeman.

“Sir, does that mean Edgar Royden is being wronged? Someone like him wouldn’t have to stoop so low to get a woman.” The policeman guessed.

Joseph glanced at him and said, “Go and copy the police code.”

“Yes, sir!”

Royden Group was controlling the media, so the news of Edgar and Sherry hadn’t broken out to the masses.

It infuriated Sherry.

“Mommy, is there no other way to create more commotion? Edgar wouldn’t budge with such a small matter.I can’t give up now; it took me too long to get this far” Sherry whined to her mother.

“Okay, I’ll push them, but we can’t be too hasty.You need to stay vigilant, especially in front of the police.Don’t let them see through you.”

“I know, Mom.I’ve hired some fake witnesses.Once I’m pregnant, we won’t have to fear anything..”

‘Bang’

The mother-daughter pair were startled by the sound of the door opening.

There were reporters with cameras clamoring outside the door.

“Ms.Summer, was it true you were forced?”

“Ms.Summer, it doesn’t look like Mr.Royden will take responsibility.What will you do?”

“Is this a marriage of convenience decided upon by the two families?”

The pair were pushed to the wall by the assault of the reporters.

“How did you guys get in? Stop taking pictures.”

Venus covered Sherry’s face with her arm.

They retreated into the toilet and did not dare to step out.

Venus was enraged.She called the hotel’s front receptionist and complained, “What are you doing? How can you let the reporters into our room? Send someone to deal with it immediately.Otherwise, I’ll sue you.”

“Mrs.Summer, our hotel was bought by Royden Group last night.Those reporters were all dispatched by Mr.Royden.He also asked us to pass on a message; he said he would conduct a thorough investigation not to tarnish Ms.Summer’s name’’

“What?!”

Venus shouted angrily.

If Sherry wasn’t holding her up, she would’ve fallen to the ground.

“Be careful, Mommy.Venus threw her phone to the ground.She did not realize the call was still ongoing.

“Go away! Why are you so stupid? You can’t even do this; what more can you do? You’ve destroyed our family’s reputation”

“I won’t! I was very careful.He wouldn’t be able to find anything wrong if I went for a blood test not.”

“He better not!”

Venus got up angrily.She turned around and glared at Sherry, “You better stay in this room.You’re not allowed to go anywhere”

“Yes, Mommy.Sherry smiled bitterly.She could only swallow her tears.

“Gigi Reece’s been dealt with, and Jean Eyer isn’t coming back.No one on Earth knows the truth of what happened”

I’ll be the main lady of Royden Group! Edgar was on the top floor of the hotel.

His face was grave, and his eyes cold as he stared at the recording of what happened at the pier half an hour ago.

“The truck driver intentionally drove into the rail.The driver is keeping mum, but the police have gotten confirmation.They will have the results very soon; Miles reported.

“Rewind it.Let’s watch it again” the man ordered coldly.

Miles went to do as asked but was stopped by Nathan.

“That’s enough.We’ve watched it more than ten times.We all saw that Jean wasn’t on that boat nor at the scene.Edgar’s brows tightened, and his fist clenched, “No.She texted Joseph.We must’ve missed something.”

“Edgar, get a hold of yourself.Maybe, Jean did not take into consideration the time difference.Or maybe, she hadn’t disembarked” Nathan advised.

He couldn’t think of any better excuses than these.

Edgar stared resolutely at the screen.

The last time he had been this mad was when his father got into trouble and when his mother passed away.

“Edgar, think about it carefully.Jean left before your scandal broke out.She probably doesn’t even know about your lawsuit.And even if the Summers are evil at heart, they wouldn’t do anything to her” he could only say this much at this time.

He was afraid to trigger Edgar into a frenzy.

“Let’s talk about it when we find Jean”

Suddenly, Edgar’s phone rang.

“Sir, I’m at Ms.Eyer’s place now.She told me not to tell you, but I think she’s in danger…”

Susan was beyond anxious as she watched Gigi throw things around and hurt herself like a mad person.She quickly delivered the situation to Edgar and hung up.

“Miss, stop knocking into things.Look at your hand; don’t you feel pain?”

Susan tried to stop Gigi from harming herself.But Gigi seemed to have lost all sanity.She shrugged Susan away and started screeching.

At another place, Edgar put down his phone and hurried out. All text © NôvelD(r)a’ma.Org.

“She’s back.”

“What? Who’s back? Edgar, wait a minute.You have a press conference later!”

Nathan shouted at him from behind, but he couldn’t stop him.

“Mr.Knox, could Ms.Eyer be back?”

Miles suggested.

Nathan’s eyes shone as he slapped his thigh, “Quick! Go after him! If Jean really is back, maybe she can save him.”

As long as Jean was safe and sound, Edgar wouldn’t lose control so easily.

Edgar sped all the way to Eyer Residence.He so happened to meet Jean, who had just gotten back from the pier, at the gates.He slammed his car door shut and walked to her.

Without another word, he engulfed her in his embrace.

Jean was confused.She was holding a bag of medicine.

“Mr.Royden, should I be congratulating you on your good news?” She said after some contemplation.
