Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245

"It's over, Ben.There is no more hope."

Jean stared at the completely burnt room.

There was bleak emptiness in her eyes.

The information she had gathered—her only hope of getting her revenge, was all gone.

Ben clenched his fists.

Although he was furious about what happened at the Knox's that day, after some thinking, he realized that Jean had no other choices too.He quickly rushed over when he heard that her place was on fire.

"Jean, don't think like that.There must still be..."

"Are you Jean Eyer?"

A police officer spoke from outside the door.

"We suspect that the fire was man-made.We need your cooperation in our investigation.Please follow us to the station."

Jean frowned and looked at Ben.

"They are leading me to a dead end"

That way, no one would find out the truth of her father's death.The evidence that those people had destroyed Eyer Group will be gone forever too.

This happened right after Zenith had passed the evidence to her.It was evident that those people were concerned about it.

"I'll go with you-"

"No, I'll go myself.If you really want to help me, go to the Knox's for me."

Jean completed the interrogation without a lawyer nor a friend present.She sat in the corridor of the police station to wait for the results.

The TV on the wall was broadcasting today's economic news.

"Royden Group plans to expand into the real estate market by the end of this year..."

The Royden's business was indeed flourishing.

"Ms.Eyer?"

A voice sounded.

Jean raised her head and looked.

A well-dressed man in a suit was looking at her.

"You are?"

"I'm Mr.Martin, a social security lawyer assigned to you.I shall assist you in all the questionings you face later."

He passed his name card to Jean as he spoke.

Jean took a quick glance at his name card.

"Thank you"

Twenty minutes later, Mr.Martin walked Jean out of the station.

"Don't worry Ms.Eyer, I will follow up with the case’ "As for the cost.."

Jean could tell that Mr.Martin was an able lawyer.

If it wasn't for him, she would have wasted a long time at the station.

"You don't have to worry about it.We do this for free.It's a public welfare program." иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмMr.Martin smiled.

"But you can't stay in that apartment anymore.You'll have to look for another place to stay"

Jean nodded.

"Thank you."

She went back to her apartment and searched through the ruins.She could only find a few things that were still useable.It was back to the start again for her.

Some of her neighbors passed by from time to time.The look in their eyes was hostile as they glanced at Jean.

"What a jinx."

"We haven't had peace ever since she moved in.And now our whole building was almost burned down because of her."

Jean sighed silently with her back facing the door.

"What a coincidence, Ms.Eyer! Have you not moved yet? This place is not fit for anyone to stay anymore."

The landlord muttered as she walked in.

"The balance from your rent will be used as compensation for this house."

"The cause of the fire is not confirmed yet.The police suspect that someone might have deliberately.."
