Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 447

Chapter 447

"I saved your life.You need to stay inside where I can keep you safe.You'll leave me no choice but to send you back to Sam if you keep acting up."

Her gaze was icy cold.She turned away from Gigi and continued to stack the wine bottles.

Gigi harrumphed.

"Whatever."

She made for the stairs.

Before she had taken a few steps, Jean's phone rang.

Gigi's head swiveled around to stare at Jean.

"I'm sorry, I don't know where she is"

Jean frowned when she heard what was being said.

Joseph was currently at the hospital investigating Sam.

"Ms.Eyer, the police have reason to suspect that Gigi Reece was smuggled into the country.We have evidence from Sam that supports our suspicions.I hope you will cooperate with us.I can guarantee her safety only if she agrees to surrender herself at the station.Joseph scratched his head.

If it weren't for pressure given from his higher-ups, he would not have been forced into working together with Edgar.

"Officer Bunnings, I have long lost faith in the law enforcement."

"You mentioned something about Sam before.It just so happens that I have another case for you." Jean said breezily.

She stared right at Gigi and said calmly but surely.

"There was an incident that happened about ten years ago.The real culprit behind it is Sam Reece, not my father"

The thought of it used to reduce her to tears, but now, she could talk about it without even a stammer.

Jean let out a sigh.

"Officer Bunnings, I can provide you with the evidence I have collected.Which is why I implore you to detain him after he receives treatment"

She had asked Ben to investigate for her.

However, it went nowhere as no one, Mr.Jevin included, was willing to testify in court.

Even though her father might not have been found guilty, Sam, the actual murderer, was still at large.She found Gigi staring at her, frozen when she hung up.

"You heard right, Sam Reece is why my family is suffering..."

Tears were falling from Gigi's eyes before Jean could even finish what she wanted to say.

She hugged her shoulders and curled into a ball on the steps.She was sobbing so hard that her entire body was trembling.

Jean did not go over to offer her comfort.

They sat in silence, broken only by Gigi’s cries until the sky was about to lighten.

Jean spread out across the couch.

In a sleepy daze, she felt someone cover her with a blanket.

The next time she opened her eyes, it was bright.

Susan was cleaning up in the living area, whereas Gigi was nowhere to be found.

On the table was a note written in red lipstick saying, ‘Leave the Reeces to me’ "How long has she been gone?"

Jean shot to her feet.

Nausea suddenly hit her, and she fell back down onto the couch.

Everything looked fuzzy.She shook her head to calm herself.

"She was gone before I even arrived."

Susan hurried over to help her up.

"You should lie down a bit longer."

Jean glanced at the empty wine bottles on the floor.Her stomach churned.

"Susan, I need to find her.Could you call a cab for me?"

Jean forced herself to stand.She splashed her face with some cold water in the bathroom to wake herself up.

Susan stood waiting for her at the door.

"Ms.Eyer, I don't think you should go.Even if you do, it might be too late." She said worriedly.

Jean was surprised.
