Chapter 440
Joseph observed Jean's expressions closely, "Pretend I didn't ask anything then.The police can't interfere with your personal life, but please let us know if you're being threatened or meet any unforeseen circumstances."
Jean nodded in understanding, "Thanks, Officer Bunnings.May I know why you're looking for me?"
Joseph was about to reply to her when some other police ran over.
"Sir, Edgar Royden's lawyer is at the police station.Should we go over now?"
Joseph hesitated for a moment when he glanced at Jean.
"Ms.Eyer, I think it will be better if you come with us."
"Is this regarding Edgar and Sherry Summer?"
"Yes."
"My apologies, Officer.I don't have time."
Jean opened the car door and got up without a glance back.She walked faster and faster.
The two have nothing to do with me.
Jean crossed the road and grabbed a cab home.
"Dispatch two undercover agents to protect her twenty- four-seven.I think someone is plotting something bad."
Joseph ordered the policeman.
"Sir, does that mean Edgar Royden is being wronged? Someone like him wouldn't have to stoop so low to get a woman." The policeman guessed.
Joseph glanced at him and said, "Go and copy the police code."
"Yes, sir!"
Royden Group was controlling the media, so the news of Edgar and Sherry hadn't broken out to the masses.
It infuriated Sherry.
"Mommy, is there no other way to create more commotion? Edgar wouldn't budge with such a small matter.I can't give up now; it took me too long to get this far" Sherry whined to her mother.
"Okay, I'll push them, but we can't be too hasty.You need to stay vigilant, especially in front of the police.Don't let them see through you."
"I know, Mom.I've hired some fake witnesses.Once I'm pregnant, we won't have to fear anything.."
‘Bang’
The mother-daughter pair were startled by the sound of the door opening.
There were reporters with cameras clamoring outside the door.
"Ms.Summer, was it true you were forced?"
"Ms.Summer, it doesn't look like Mr.Royden will take responsibility.What will you do?"
"Is this a marriage of convenience decided upon by the two families?"
The pair were pushed to the wall by the assault of the reporters.
"How did you guys get in? Stop taking pictures."
Venus covered Sherry's face with her arm.
They retreated into the toilet and did not dare to step out.
Venus was enraged.She called the hotel's front receptionist and complained, "What are you doing? How can you let the reporters into our room? Send someone to deal with it immediately.Otherwise, I'll sue you."
"Mrs.Summer, our hotel was bought by Royden Group last night.Those reporters were all dispatched by Mr.Royden.He also asked us to pass on a message; he said he would conduct a thorough investigation not to tarnish Ms.Summer's name’’
"What?!"
Venus shouted angrily.
