Chapter 210 No One Will Spill the Beans
“I’m not sure about the business side of things.” Gigi looked up and shook her head repeatedly. “I really don’t know…”
She felt that those things were troublesome. Every time there were guests in her house, she would hide in her room. Furthermore, that happened so long ago. How could she remember!
Jean’s eyes sank. She had not expected Gigi to say anything, but from Gigi’s expression, Jean could confirm that Sam had something to do with Eyer Group going bankrupt.
She treated the Reece family that way because they weren’t innocent. “The second question. When did Winnie and your dad get together?”
Gigi was finally faced with a question she could answer. She was afraid that Jean would get angry, so she quickly replied, “The summer of last year.”
“Go on,” Jean said in a cold voice as she stared at Gigi’s face.
Gigi’s voice got softer and softer. “I hated her at first. She always looked so gentle, but my dad was so crazy about her he was delirious. Although my dad had always had a woman on the outside, he had never said anything about marrying them. Winnie was the first.”
Jean mentally calculated the time.
From what Gigi said, it didn’t seem like a lie.
Winnie was indeed good at seducing men.
Otherwise, the Eyer family wouldn’t have been in such turmoil because of her.
“The third question…”
Jean was about to speak when a knock suddenly came from outside. “Ms. Reece, the things Mr. Shaw sent you are here. Should I bring it in now?”
This wasn’t Phoebe’s voice.
Jean instantly looked at the door and quickly walked behind Gigi.
She lifted her hand and locked it onto Gigi’s shoulder blade.
Gigi was in pain from being held. Feeling wronged, she cried out toward the door, “I’m sleeping. Let’s speak tomorrow.”
She didn’t know what Andy had sent to her.
But the relationship between her and Andy was a secret. Jean couldn’t know about it under any circumstance.
It was a shame that Jean had already known about it long ago.
She was afraid that someone would come in and wreck her plans. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done that.
“Alright, Ms. Reece. I’ll come again tomorrow,” The nurse said before turning to leave.
Jean stared in the direction of the door. She thought that it didn’t make sense.
If visitors needed Gigi’s consent to visit her, why would Andy send her things?
Jean kept away the things on the desk.
When she opened the door and walked out, Phoebe was nowhere to be seen at the door.
She moved sideways, wanting to leave through the emergency staircase when she suddenly saw light from the floor below. She immediately sneaked into a utility room at the side.
Right after that, the police walked over with a crowd of people.
Andy was leading them.
“Thanks for your hard work, Officer Gordon. Gigi can only be safe once the culprit behind the scenes is caught.”
The man called Gordon smiled as he nodded. “Don’t worry, Mr. Shaw. The two of you, go in to collect evidence. Everyone else, look for the culprit.”
“Yes, sir.”
The entire corridor was quickly filled with police officers.
Jean held her breath and stood nervously behind the door.
The screen of her cell phone suddenly lit up. It was a call from Edgar.
Jean immediately rejected the call, but he called again.
Holding her cell phone, she tried to decrease the volume of the vibration.
“How is it going? Did you find anyone?” Gordon asked his subordinates.
The voice was very close by. It was at the door!
Jean frowned and kept thinking of ways to escape.
“No, sir. Should we take a look downstairs? Maybe she heard about it and left.”
“That’s true. Team one and two, look for her downstairs.”
