Chapter 461

Winnie was still acting at the final moment.She sent Sam out of Reece Residence and into the police car.She continued to comfort him.

“Don’t worry, Sam.I will take care of the house.After everything is settled, I will bring a lawyer to see you.Don’t worry”

Her words were touching and moving.

Even a cunning person like Sam could not help but have red eyes when he heard them.

“Winnie, I was not a good person, but I will surely make it up to you if my innocence is proven.”

Sam held Winnie’s arm, but he was pulled away by the police.He got into the police car reluctantly, mumbling.

“I was wronged.How can you treat me like this without investigating properly…”

“Silence.The police officer sitting opposite him reminded solemnly.After the police left Reece Residence, Winnie packed her belongings and waited for Jean in the living room.She took out the recorder she had hidden in the study and several photos she had secretly taken as soon as she saw Jean.

“I don’t know if these will be useful to you.”

Winnie pushed them towards Jean, smiling.

“This is the best I can do, Jean.You know Sam is a careful person.I’m afraid he would suspect me, so I only managed to collect these.”

Her words were not quite true.She was not knowledgeable enough in business, so Sam didn’t let her follow him around.

Jean took the things with a smile and said, “Thank you.”

Winnie froze for a few seconds.

Then she bowed her head guiltily and said, “I owe you this”

“I can understand why you left after what happened to the Eyer family.Money always brings out people’s true colors.”

After all that had happened, Jean could finally treat this matter more calmly.

Although she still held some grudge, she knew Winnie was not the main culprit.She was just an earthly- minded person.

What good could she do if she had stayed at the Eyer’s anyway? Jean smiled and gave her a card.

“You gave me this money last time.I have not touched a single cent.Take it and never come back.Don’t even appear in my sight.”

She put on her sunglasses and turned around to leave.

“Wait!”

Winnie stood up immediately.She bit her lip and thought for a very long time.

“There is something I must tell you.If not, I will never feel at ease forever.She took a deep breath, then spoke with an extremely regretful voice.

“Edbert Royden came to see your father when he was in trouble before I left the Eyer family.”

“What did you say?”

Jean stood alone by the river half an hour later.She kept thinking about what Winnie had said.

“Your father wasn’t critically ill then.Although creditors kept looking for him, your father was an esteemed businessman.He rarely made enemies with them too, so they constantly gave your father a way out”

“However, after your father met Edbert, he got so furious…That he was admitted to the hospital that night.”

“After that, the creditors turned violet.They started throwing stuff around and even threatened to amputate your limbs.I only acted like that at that time because I was too afraid.”

Winnie’s expression was etched deeply into Jean’s heart.

Jean looked completely calm as she stared at the sea.She only gave out a tired smile when Ben found her.Ben walked over to her and put his coat over her body.

He frowned hard and said, “Don’t overthink.That woman has always been a liar.What she says is not necessarily true.”

Jean lowered her eyes and hummed softly in response.

Of course, she knew this.But she felt used and foolish for not knowing about it after she heard it from Winnie.

“I have hated the wrong person all along, just like Edgar did’ “It is not your fault.”

Ben hesitated a while before he continued, “Edgar guided me on how to help you several times before this.He always did his best to help you, especially after Eyer Group transformed.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

I would even feel that I was doing less sometimes”He had never given up on being nice to her, even though he hated her.He did everything quietly.He was afraid that Jean would refuse him if she knew, so he stayed hidden.

Ben took a deep breath and continued, “Jean, if your past is bothering you, you should look into it.You shouldn’t let the both of you live in its shadows forever”

They did not deserve to suffer from this pain.

“Is there still a need after all these years?”Jean frowned hard.

But her mind was on something else.Did Edgar stop the police from investigating to protect Edbert? Or was it to…

“Ben, I’d like to go see Sam.”

Ben dropped Jean off at the police station’s entrance.He felt uneasy as he watched her go in, so he called Edgar.

“She seems emotionally unstable.She refuses to let me accompany her in too.I’m worried that she would do something she’d regret.”

Edgar’s eyes darkened when he heard this.

“Moreover, she knows all about what you have done too.I think you should tell her about this yourself.Don’t blame me for not warning you, but you might lose her once and for all if you forsake this chance” Ben hung up as soon as he finished speaking.He took a deep breath and punched the steering wheel hard.

“Edgar Royden, stop breaking her heart.”

Edgar sat in his office as he listened to his subordinate’s report.

They were all trivial matters.

Edbert had jeopardized Edgar’s position as Royden Group’s president till today.

Every money-related project was assigned to the managers of other departments.

Although the projects Edgar received were trivial, Edbert had ordered all the managers to report all the details to Edgar.

It was obviously a strategy to keep Edgar from paying attention to other matters.

Edbert merely wanted to keep him at the company.

“My uncle is really a strategic man”

He put down his phone helplessly.His thoughts became clearer and clearer.

“Mr.Edgar, this is our target for the next quarter of the year.Please take a look and check if everything is right.”

The manager of the planning department wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Edbert had always been the one handling this kind of matter.If not, Miles.

The manager of the planning department was really nervous.

The man in front of him looked at him and spoke slowly, “What do you think?”

“I…I don’t know.”

The manager started to stutter.He flipped through the documents in his hands diligently.

“Tell everyone in your department to come to the conference room.We will make amendments during the meeting”

Edgar ordered coldly.

At the same time, he sent Miles a text.
