Chapter 463
The door opened, but she did not step in.
Edgar only raised his eyes and looked at her after Miles left quietly.
Jean could not understand the look in his eyes.
"Sam's case has been forwarded to the court.You should stop interfering."
He had said this countless times already.But Jean never listened.
A fragrant scent filled his office.But it wasn't the type of perfume he liked.
"Was it a gift from someone else?"
Jean walked over and sat down.She pretended to act casually.
"Kind of"
He wanted to continue, but his phone rang.
After he glanced at the caller ID, he hesitated a while before he answered it.It was about his previous collaboration with Oprah Group.
Jean was so bored sitting on the sofa while he was occupied that she fell asleep without her knowledge.She opened her eyes abruptly when she heard footsteps in front of her.Her eyes were full of caution.She grabbed the wrist of the person in front of her intuitively.
"I only wanted to put a blanket over you;" Edgar explained and sighed softly.
He had heard from Susan that Jean had been on her toes since Gigi returned.He frowned.He had forsaken Jean when she most needed him.He could have settled this matter earlier if he hadn't been pissed off with her back then.
She wouldn't have suffered so much.
Jean quickly got up.It was already dark outside.
"You've ensured my safety, so I want to go back now.”
"You don't have to see me off." Jean immediately walked out of the room without giving him a chance to say anything.
Miles had been waiting outside for Edgar's further orders.He sighed as he witnessed the scene.
Just as Miles was about to turn around to look at Edgar, Edgar was already chasing after Jean.
"Did you notice anything off about Jean after she came back from the police station just now?"
His stare was fixed on Jean as she entered the elevator.
Miles thought carefully before shaking his head.
“No.Ms.Eyer slept all the way here.She seemed exhausted."
This wasn't the answer Edgar wanted.
"Send someone to watch over her.Inform me immediately if anything fishy happens."
Did she really lose the child? Ben replied to Jean the next day.
"I've told Sonny to buy our tickets.But weren't you reluctant to join before this? Why did you change your mind all of a sudden?"
Jean only felt slightly better after drinking a huge glass of milk.
"I think I should go have some fresh air."
She had detailed information about this mountain bike race.
The terrain of the race course was uneven.
There were many potholes.
Moreover, there were many thunderstorms.
But the race had not been called off, regardless of the weather.
But this made the race more unpredictable and exciting for illegal gambling.
Ben did not think that far at the other end of the phone.
"I will go pick you up after I'm done with work tomorrow.The weather there is different.It would be best if you went there a few days earlier to familiarize yourself with it.We can go have a look at the venue too"
"Sure."
Jean only had one thing on her mind.She no longer heard what Ben was saying.
It was a dangerous race.
Just that point was important enough.
