Chapter 343 No Need to Self-blame
Gigi was so out of it that she didn’t even know that Sam was going to sell her off. “If we cannot get enough money by tomorrow afternoon, the bank will come to take our house as collateral. I have no other choice. Don’t blame me. I’m just trying my best to find you someone that will take care of you for the rest of your life. Now that Edgar doesn’t want you and Andy isn’t willing to turn over a new leaf, you’re just going to suffer wherever you go.” Sam said as he looked Gigi in her face.
It was dark inside that car, but the car was lit by the lights outside. Sam was in the backlight, and it cast a shadow across his face, making him look quite vicious. Jean was following them in another car. She watched Sam bring Gigi into the clubhouse.
Jean’s instincts were right. Once Sam had heard Winnie say that Ranford International held enough of Reece Group’s shares to go against Royden Group, he devised a plan to tie down the executives of Ranford International. The problem now was that he had no money and no backing. He could only sell off his daughter.
Jean clutched the steering wheel. When she saw Sam go in, she hurried behind him, but she did not go in. She went to make a call to Joey Davis.
After listening to her explanation, Joey replied in surprise, “How did you know….”
“I saw it with my own eyes. But don’t worry, I have no thoughts of dragging you into this. I just want to ask you for a simple favor.”
Joey had been working at Ranford International for a few years. She had gotten to her high position because of her skills in helping Serena Campbell woo the elite of the business world. She had used unmentionable methods to get her way. Even Sam Reece had fallen into her web.
On the other end of the call, Joey was in deep contemplation.
“Alright, I’ll go over.”
Jean took her phone out and took note of the time. If Joey were late or did not show up, she would call the police.
People like Sam Reece need to get what they deserve.
Joey arrived in no time at all. She sighed when she saw Jean, “Let’s go.”
With Joey leading the way, Jean got in very quickly. The clubhouse was very lavishly decorated. It exuded extravagance. The corridors were long, and there were luxurious rooms on either side. The windows were so tinted that one couldn’t see the inside from the outside.
“Don’t look around. Follow me.” Joey pulled her.
This wasn’t a place that accepted female patronage. All the women here were for the guests’ entertainment.
Joey glanced at her phone and confirmed the room Gigi was in.
“It’s right here, but I don’t know who’s she with.”
“It’s the executives of your company. Let me deal with it from here. Thanks for your help.” Jean said appreciatively.
She grabbed two bottles of wine from the crate beside her and prepared to walk in.
Joey was stunned for two seconds before quickly stopping her. “What are you doing? You’ll get into a lot of trouble if you start a fight here.”
“I know. Relax. I won’t bring myself that much trouble because of them.” Jean said with a smile.
However, before she could push the door open, someone stood in her way.
“Just a moment, Ms. Eyer.”
Miles was out of breath, but he had gotten there just in time to stop her.
“Mr. Miller?” Jean was shocked. She had not expected to see him here. Then didn’t that mean that…
Sure enough, when she looked up, she saw Edgar standing behind her, and his face was filled with obvious anger.
Jean felt her heart tighten. She didn’t have to do anything anymore. Even though Edgar did not like Gigi, everyone knew that she had birthed him a son.
Joey took two steps back when she saw Edgar. It wasn’t in her power to stop what was about to happen.
“Is Mr. Royden here for some entertainment?” Jean nonchalantly asked as she looked up at him.
