Chapter 475

Chapter 475

Early the next morning, Jean was awoken by the clamor.

“Return our money, Royden!””

“Come out now! Why are you retracting your head into your shell like a coward? Do you think that you can ignore us by dumping the company on someone else? You have no conscience.You should be struck by lightning.”

There were shouts outside, along with the noise of glass and cars being smashed.

Jean got up and walked out.She had just opened the bedroom door when Edgar pushed her back in.His deep eyes looked straight at her, and he said in a low voice, “Don’t come out.I will get people to deal with this.Before everything is sorted out, stay in the room, alright?”

“What happened?”

Jean looked to the side, and she felt that the noise outside didn’t subside.It became louder.

Edgar smiled lightly.

“It’s just a small matter.”

Jean’s brows furrowed tightly.She couldn’t help but think about the few days before trouble befell the Eyer family.

It was the same as this.

She was stuck in her house because of people outside.

Her dad had also said that he would get people to deal with it, but what she got in return was a summons by the court and a critically ill notice from the hospital.

Edgar let her go, and he turned to go outside.But she pulled at a corner of his shirt.

Jean took a deep breath.

“Your injury hasn’t healed.Don’t get hurt again”

Her voice was very soft but firm.

The man’s frown softened slightly.

He said in a low voice, “Alright.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

He stroked her hair before he turned and walked out with steady footsteps.

Jean stood in her room in a daze, and she slowly shut her eyes as she carefully listened to the shouts outside.

‘Bang’ They drove a truck through the doors of the Royden’s family Villa.

How could such a chaotic farce appear in such an affluent villa district? If it wasn’t for someone helping them, they wouldn’t even know Edgar’s address.

And there were always security guards who were outside the Royden’’s family Villa twenty-four hours a day.

Why were they nowhere to be seen today? In the end, Jean didn’t obey him and walked to the window.

She wanted to see what was going on through the window.

But the sun today was blazing.

She blocked the sun’s rays with her hand, and at the next moment, something broke through the window and hit the ridge of her brow.

It hurt…

Jean’s foot slipped, and she fell down the steps.

“Ms.Eyer!”

Susan was in a daze.She couldn’t protect Jean in time.

When Edgar rushed out, he saw her lying unconscious on the ground.

“Mr.Royden, what should we do?”

Edgar picked her up with both hands and cried his heart out.

“Jean, wake up! Look at me..”

After a long time, Jean felt like she was in a vast body of water.

Someone was calling her name, and there were also people swimming past her.

“Jeannie.”

“Jeannie, come here.”

It was her dad’s voice! Jean stood up and walked to the other end of the river.

What was strange was that her body was floating, and she could step on the surface of the river.

“Jeannie, come here.”

Gary stood on the bridge and kept waving at her.

Jean was exhausted.She felt as though there was finally a place where she could rest for a while, and she was overjoyed.

Her footsteps quickened.Her dad hadn’t abandoned her.

If she could make it across, she would be happy.

She wouldn’t have to suffer so much in the future.

But had she been suffering alone? No…

Somebody suddenly grabbed the hem of her skirt.

Jean turned around and saw an adorable child with a visor mumbling something.

“What are you saying?”

When she bent down to listen, a huge wave swept the river and threw itself at the child.

“No!”

Jean subconsciously ran over to protect the child.

She opened her eyes abruptly.

The white walls around her were glaring.

Miles had been keeping guard in the hospital room for a long time.

When he saw that Jean had awoken, he immediately went to her.

“Ms.Eyer, how are you feeling?”

He pressed the call button at the same time.

Jean felt that her throat was parched.

She opened her mouth and asked weakly, “Where is he?”

Miles immediately recited the excuse he had come up with.

“There were people making trouble at Mr.Royden’s house in the morning, and the police have got those people under control.Since Mr.Royden was involved, he had to make a statement at the police station.He will be back soon.”

He smiled after he said it.

He prayed silently in his heart.

Please believe it! Jean turned her head and looked at the door.

Her voice turned cold.

“Miles, this isn’t the first day I’m meeting you.You look to the left when you lie.”

Miles’ expression froze.

“Um, Ms.Eyer, don’t get agitated.The doctor said that your emotions must be stabilized so that you and your baby…”

When Miles said it, he realized that he had said the wrong thing again.

Jean sighed in frustration.

If she had escaped undetected this time, it would mean that the doctor was no good at all.

“Then tell me, where on earth is he?” Miles scratched his head.

Seeing the doctor and nurses come in, he could only step aside and wait for them to be done examining Jean.

“You need to recuperate and stay for three days to be on the nutrient infusion IV.

Jean’s fingers clenched, and her gaze was directed at Miles, who was at the back.

Seeing that he couldn’t avoid it no matter what, Miles could only tell her, “Mr.Royden is being sued by those people.He’s being detained in prison now”

“How much money is involved?”

“At least one billion”

Miles was very anxious as well.

This was the most conservative estimate by the company’s legal department.

“I want to see him”

She sat up and wanted to get out of bed but was stopped by Miles as he tried his best to reason with her.

“Ms.Eyer, I Know that you’re worried about Mr.Royden.If you go now, what if you get barricaded by those people again? If anything happens to you and the baby, other than Mr.Royden blaming me, I won’t be able to forgive myself”

Miles was almost about to kneel in front of Jean.

“Furthermore, you know that after Mr.Edbert took over the company, the board of directors has been keeping an eye like a tiger watching its prey.There have been many furtive tricks in the dark.If they find out that you’re pregnant with Mr.Royden’s child, I’m afraid that more trouble will occur” Miles said tactfully.

But Jean understood what he meant.

“What hit me in the Royden’’s family Villa?”

“An air gun”

Miles was livid even when he thought about it now.

“It wasn’t an ordinary air gun.It had been modified.If it wasn’t for the special structure of the villa’s windows…”

And these air guns were permitted for use in Yorktown.

Coincidentally, Jean had been targeted as soon as she appeared by the window.

This was considered premeditated harm.

Jean took a deep breath in and tried hard to digest all the information before her.

“Miles, I want to see the attorney general of Royden Group’s legal department.”

Miles wrinkled his brows and looked slightly grieved.

“The company is now in Mr.Edbert’s hands.Even if we ask Mr.Zimmer to come, I’m afraid it might not be of any use, and he might not be loyal to Mr.Royden.”
