Chapter 315 Plot
Seeing her resolve, Ben was distressed and exasperated. “So you’re just going to let her continue like this? Jeannie, you know better than I do that Edgar will never like her.”
This was a fact that Ben had always been reluctant to admit. But he was also a man. If Edgar really liked Gigi, he wouldn’t delay and drag things out for so long.
Jean looked down and didn’t say anything. She didn’t want to think about it. She didn’t have the nerve to. The air in the living room became slightly stifled.
Ben sighed. “It’s fine. Let’s not talk about it. I brought over the things that you need. Take a look.” Jean got up. “Can I trouble you to send it to this address?”
This should be the last time that she would trouble Ben. Jean handed him a piece of paper. Mr. Jevin’s address was on it. Ben took it from her. He felt that something was up with Jean’s expression. It was as if she was saying goodbye to him for the last time.
But Jean said that she wanted to rest, so he didn’t ask further.
As Edgar heard the lawyer talk about the latest developments, his face darkened.
“This means that the police are sure that Sam colluded with Andy? Gigi isn’t involved in this?” Mr. Blanc asked.
Mr. Martin nodded. “Yes. According to the evidence that we have come across so far, Sam is indeed involved in this. When there were problems with projects in Royden Group, Gigi was already preparing to give birth in the hospital. Looking at the timing, she wasn’t equipped to interfere.”
Edgar didn’t say anything.
The door was opened. Edbert walked in, supported by his assistant.
“I heard that there’s a development in the case?” He had a concerned look on his face. “What’s going on, Edgar?”
“Uncle Edbert!” Edgar made a place for him before instructing Mr. Martin to repeat the details.
Edbert suddenly saw the light. “No wonder I heard that Andy invited Sam for a meal. As it turns out, the two of them were on the same boat a long time ago.”
After he said it, he saw that Edgar was thinking about something.
He smiled and asked, “Edgar, do you think that this evidence is worthless?”
“Andy personally revealed that he was the one who instructed Gigi to do all this. Now that such evidence has been found against the Reece family, I can only feel that Sam is protecting his daughter. Gigi is still the culprit.”
Or maybe Sam was involved as well. The father and daughter couldn’t escape.
Mr. Blanc and Mr. Martin’s eyes met. They didn’t say anything.
“This is a Royden family matter. Do the both of you mind going out for a cup of tea? I want to talk to Edgar privately.” Edbert smiled gently and politely.
“Alright, Mr. Edbert. Take your time.” Mr. Blanc stood up immediately.
Edgar did things ruthlessly and brutally. Only Edbert could make a difference.
Only the uncle and the nephew were left in the meeting room.
Edbert slowly sighed. “Edgar, I’ve known Sam for many years. He isn’t very capable, but he has good taste. He is also greedy and vain. I would believe it if he colluded with Andy to receive benefits.”
“After all, Gigi is still young. She still has years ahead of her, and you’ve registered your marriage with her. If she’s implicated, the outside world would think that she and Andy have some secret relationship. If that happens, it would be detrimental for the both of you.”
Edgar slowly turned his head. “What are you trying to say, Uncle Edbert?”
“Since Sam can assume responsibility, let him do it. Even if you’re not thinking of Gigi, you have to think of your child.”
Once Edbert said it, he raised his hands and patted Edgar’s shoulders. “You should know how important a warm home is to a child’s development.”
Thump.
