Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Real Culprit

“Ms. Reece, please answer our questions. Why hasn’t there been any word of a wedding from Mr. Royden even though you’ve given birth? Could it be because there are still some suspicions regarding the child’s ancestry?”

“The former vice president of Royden Group, Andy Shaw, is currently under investigation for corruption. Did you collude with him? There have been some rumors saying that you were his mistress. The both of you frequented many clubs and hotels together!” Gigi was white with anger.

She was consumed by anger and hatred. No one could possibly know about this. Andy had spread the rumors himself to deflect the attention from himself and drag her down with him.

If this continues, her life and everything she had worked for would be ruined. Gigi took a deep breath and spat out, “Do you have proof? You’re badgering a single mother with nothing but baseless rumors! This is harassment! Don’t you feel ashamed?!”

The reporters exchanged glances. “Ms. Reece, we are doing this to shed light on the truth. The people want to know. Besides, the hospital personnel is witness to your ill treatment of your child.”

They took out some photos to show her. They had come prepared to force Gigi to admit to the truth. From what they know of her, she tends to slip up if they push further. However, it looks like she had come prepared too. She had not slipped up yet.

She was only slightly flustered when the reporters showed her the photos.

She regained her composure and said confidently, “You want proof? I’ll show you proof!”

She took out her phone and showed them a video.

It was a video of Jean strangling her child before her nanny rushed over.

This meant that the person who was abusing the child and threatening to kill the child was Jean, not her.

The reporters were stunned at the new revelation.

“Wasn’t that Edgar’s ex-wife?”

“What a cruel woman! It’s just a baby! Thank goodness for the nanny.”

The reporters abruptly changed their opinion of her. They looked at Gigi with sympathy, “Ms. Reece, how is the child now?”

“My son is fine. My lawyer will take care of everything. Please stop bothering me.” She hid her face and was helped into the car.

The door closed, effectively shutting away the outside world.

Winnie was in awe. “That was a good plan. It shut all those reporters up. And Andy wouldn’t do anything about it even if he finds out. All attention will be on Jean.”

Gigi snickered. “Let’s go.”

She was in a great mood. She was able to leave the hospital and got rid of the reporters.

She sent Linda a text, telling her that everything was sorted, and they didn’t need the managerial company to intervene.

Winnie, who was in the front seat, was suspicious. “But why would Jean do this to herself?”

Gigi blinked and waved her concerns away, “Who knows? Maybe she’s finally lost her mind?”

“Could she be planning something else? What if she tells the reporters something else to stab you in the back?” Winnie was always thinking one step ahead.

Besides, no one would put themselves in the line of fire for no reason.

When news of this goes out, neither Edgar nor Andy would let this slide. That on top of the pressure from the media, Jean could forget about ever showing her face around town again.

Gigi settled back into the cushy seats and stretched, “What could she be planning?”

Winnie hesitantly shook her head, “I can’t say. I just don’t think she’s that dumb.”

Gigi snorted, “Maybe the earthquake knocked the sense out of her.”

Jean left the hospital around the same time Gigi did. She went out through the side door and took a taxi to Eyer Residence.

“Ms. Eyer, where have you been? Mr. Royden has been looking everywhere for you. He came asking for you a few times a day.” Brigid asked worriedly.
