Chapter 495

Charles was obviously surprised.

“You don’t look like someone like this.”

Edgar frowned slightly with deep emotions in his eyes.

“Indeed, I wasn’t like this in the past.”

He was a prudent and profit-minded businessman.

Just like when he married Jean back then, he was only focused on his own motive and was never considerate toward others.He didn’t realize that his action would cause Jean a miserable marriage and life.He had never thought how heartbroken Jean would be.

At this point, he deemed all the distress he was facing a punishment.

“As long as the Rothschild family rejects Pinnacle Group’s partnership proposal, Royden Group will deploy the energy proposal immediately.When that happens, the goldmine resources owned by your family will be greatly sought after.You’ll have the right and power to enter the domestic market.”

Luring the other party with something that he or she needed the most was a typical means of a successful businessman.

Both Pinnacle Group and the Rothschild family were eyeing the domestic market, so Edgar successfully won Charles’ heart over by making way for his family.

Or rather, they could be in the same boat.

Compared to the Summer family’s greed, Edgar’s offer hit the bull’s- eye.

“I’m glad that we’re not enemies.”

Charles put on a smile.

Edgar answered indif‘erently, “I heard that your family had a-ranged blind dates for you.Hope you’ll find a suitable partner soon.”

He was well aware of Charles’ intention.

Charles was startled for a second before he said with a smile, “Sure, sure.”

Edgar was hinting to Charles not to have his eye on Jean.

Otherwise, the consequence could be dire.

In the interrogator 01 room, Sherry fumed up and yelled, “This is c early slander! Cur family runs a proper business.

Since when did…

“These few men often appeared at the hotel you stayed at.You should know what kind of business the Rothschild family runs.Sitting across from Sherry, a female sergeant warned her with a solemn look.

“Miss Sherry Summer, please cooperate and answer our questions.”

Sherry was tongue-tied as she was shocked to see the armed and fierce-looking men in the picture.

Initially, she thought trey were Charles’ assistants or drivers, but it turned out that they were bloodthirsty villains.

Perceiving Sherry’s panicked look, the sergeant questioned, “Let’s start from the top.What’s your relationship with Charles Rothschild? How did you guys meet? What did he do during the week he

came?”

Sherry buried her head in her chest.

After three hours of interrogation, Sherry became ashen- faced.

Although she understood the businesses the Rothschild family ran, she had never thought that they were a business partner beyond her capacity to manage.

“Ms.Summer, please do not leave the country at the time being.We’ll summon you again if there’s a need.”

The female sergeant put it in a nice way.

Sherry was left alone in the corridor.

Just then, a voice emerged from behind.

“Didn’t your family send a driver to pick you up?”

Sherry was pissed off by Jean’s voice.

“How dare you mock me? Thanks to you, I have to go through all these sufferings now!”

Ever since Sherry came home, she had been treated like a princess.

Never did she think she would be humiliated like this.

Meanwhile, Jean, the person who rendered Sherry in her current situation, wore an unaffected look.

Sherry was dying to see Jean disappear from this world.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t be obsessed about this matter.Not only did you cause such big trouble and bring shame to your family’s reputation, but you also ruined Pinnacle Group’s plan to enter the domestic market.Do you think your parents will still dote on you like before?”

Sherry’s expression turned ghastly.

What happened all this while was completely opposite of her plans.

After being rejected by Edgar, she was implicated in Sam’s incident.

Now, she imprudently collaborated with Charles without studying the Rothschild family’s background and caused Pinnacle Group’s reputation to be affected.Sherry dug her nails into her palm.

“At first, I had no intention of messing with you, but you provoked me repeatedly and even caused Gigi to be in her current state.You think you’re smart? I shall let you stew in your own juice.”

Jean spat the words with a stony face, which made Sherry even more exasperated.

Jean ignored Sherry’s hateful gaze and added nonchalantly while walking past her.

“Also, the child that I’m conceiving is none of your business.So, don’t make reckless comments in the future.Today’s incident is just a small warning.You better clean up your act.”

When Jean left the police station, she spotted a familiar car at the car park.

Joseph’s words just now resurfaced in her mind.

“The reason the authority emphasizes huge priority on this case and deploys a massive police force is because of Mr.Royden.”

She walked down the stairs and strode toward the man.

The wind was blowing his dark blazer as he took down the jacket on his arm and placed it on Jean’s shoulder.She thought he would reprimand her or ask her to explain the incident just now, so she was mentally prepared.

However, Edgar uttered gently, “Susan made your favorite pork ribs.”

With that, he turned to open the car door.

At that moment, it was up to Jean to make a decision.

As long as she agreed, she didn’t have to worry about anything from now on.She mumbled with a frown, “Edgar, you don’t have to do this.

“I’m just doing things within my ability.Moreover, I’m not doing this just for your sake.You’re…”

He stopped and shook his head.

“We can talk about it in the future.Let’s go home first.”

Every word Edgar said today was like a dream to Jean.

Finally, she gave in as she didn’t want to stand against Edgar in front of the police station.

After getting into the car, she said, “I’d like to go visit Gigi tomorrow.Officer Bunnings hopes I can go and meet her.”

“Sure.”

Edgar drove away and mentioned nothing about the arrangement thereafter.

The next morning, Jean woke up at around ten in the morning.

After she had her breakfast, Edgar came home from his office in a hurry with an appointment form in his hand.

“Everything’s ready.Let’s go.”

Susan took out the things that she had prepared earlier. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“These are prepared for Ms.Gigi’s daily use.They should be approved items”

Tears brimmed in Jean’s eyes.

“Thank you, Susan.”

“Don’t mention it.Although she’s a little arrogant, she’s your younger sister, after all.You guys are going through a hard time now, but please don’t give up! Things will get better.”

Yeah, things will get better.

Jean took over the stuff and looked outside the window at the car and the man standing beside the car.
