Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497

Edgar regained his senses at the mention of a serious matter.

"Not yet."

He placed one hand on the counter.

The branded watch on his wrist was ticking.

"After all, he’s my only family member in this world.If I really go after him, I worry my father will blame me’ ‘Family’ was a strange word to him.

Whenever he thought about this world, pieces of shattered memories would resurface in his mind, suffocating him and tearing his wound.

That was the reason why he didn't go after Edbert all this while.

On the other hand, Edbert dared to be this reckless because he comprehended this weak spot of Edgar's.

The atmosphere turned cold.

After quite a while, Nathan sighed.

"You ruined Pinnacle Group's plan this time; I reckon your uncle will not sit and await his doom.If he continues cozying up to Pinnacle Group, you'll be in trouble once they join forces.The Rothschild family is profit-minded, so they might switch sides at any time."

He interpreted the current situation rationally.

The three conglomerates were like a triangle, tying down each other.

Any changes in one party could cause turmoil in the entire situation.

"There will be a way."

Edgar looked down at his wine glass and mumbled.

After paying the bill, he stood up and said, "I'm going back first."

"Huh?"

Before Nathan could regain his composure, Edgar had already left.

Meanwhile, on the dance floor, a slender figure was staring straight at the two men.Her eyes were filled with distress when she saw Edgar leave.

The day before the case was brought to court, the lawyer unexpectedly announced that Sam had a sudden illness and needed to be admitted to the hospital.

After clearing all necessary procedures, the unconscious Sam was admitted to a private hospital that had tight security controls.

The police department deployed forces to guard the ward and prohibited anyone from coming in contact with Sam.

A lawyer who wore a pair of white gloves entered the ward with some documents in his hand.He drew close to Sam's ear and whispered, "Mr.Royden sent me.

Sam opened his eyes slowly.

There was only him and the lawyer in the ward.

Sam flared up at once.

"What the h*ll are you guys dragging? Quickly get me out of here! Otherwise, I'll expose what happened back then, and he'll be finished"

"Calm down, Mr.Reece.I have a document here for your perusal."

The lawyer passed the document to Sam, who was wearing a sulky look.

The moment he opened the file, a sharp needle was poked into his neck.

Following that, he had a dizzy spell and collapsed on the pillow.

He could hear the lawyer's last sentence before he completely lost consciousness.

"Mr.Royden said that your collaboration ends here.Only a dead person can keep a secret forever."

"No...

Sam wanted to struggle, but it was too late.

Joseph was attending a meeting in the police station when he received news from the hospital that Sam's situation had deteriorated and was in a critical phase.

"I'm coming right away.Please keep him alive no matter what!"

The case finally had some new clues.

If the progress ceased here, it would be impossible to continue the investigation because no one would want to waste energy on this old incident.

But alas, it was too late - Sam was announced dead by the doctor.

By law, Gigi was Sam's daughter and heir, so she was brought to the hospital by the police.
