The operation was still ongoing.
Xena continued crying for a long time, but Edgar didn't come back.
She asked George softly, "Go and check where he went.” George remained motionless and answered, "He has probably left” “What?"
Xena stood up immediately and ran to the lift at the other end of the corridor.
After pacing back and forth for a while, she looked down at the car park.
Indeed, Edgar's car was nowhere to be seen.
She bit her lips indignantly.
"How can this happen?" "Maybe Mr. Edbert overestimated Mr. Edgar's care for his family.
Maybe he doesn't..” "Shut up.
That's impossible! He must be thinking of other solutions with the doctors because my father's operation is too onerous.” Xena bit her nails anxiously and continued pacing back and forth.
“Yes, that must be the case.
| must not be too edgy.” As long as she kept her cool, she would be able to secure prosperity for the rest of her life! George knitted his brows seeing Xena's state.
After Jean arrived home, she received a call from the police to inform her that Gigi had started undergoing psychotherapy.
They would also arrange a more comfortable room to facilitate her recovery.
However, she still refused to testify in court.
The prosecutor requested to postpone the court date because it took time to investigate Sam's death.
They came a long way to this point, yet everything seemed to have returned to the beginning.
“Alright, thanks.’ As one of the plaintiffs, Jean had no choice but to accept the reality.
Her arms hung helplessly as she curled her lips.
"Is this destined?" The Eyer family and Edgar's family could only be the victims forever.
Remembering that Edbert was undergoing surgery, Jean switched on the television.
Soon, the business news started reporting news about the change of management in Royden Group.
“Edgar Royden will become the person-in-charge of Royden Group once again...
After Edbert was admitted to the hospital, he delivered an oral will to pass all assets and companies under his name to Edgar and left not even a single penny for his daughter.
The public praised Edbert for having the cardinal principles in mind and selflessly protecting Royden Group so that the business empire would not fall and affect the entire market.
However, Jean thought it was a delicately planned plot.
The old fox was extremely schemeful, so how could he be willing to let go of everything? Moreover, his illness was rather fishy.
What are the odds that he was admitted to the hospital on the same day Sam died? Jean took her handbag and rushed to the hospital.
She entered the hospital as a visitor and walked around the ward area to see Xena and George staying in the ward, awaiting Edbert to come around.
The doctor's explanation was that the operation was smooth at first, but due to the uniqueness of Edgar's situation, his nervous system was damaged and might be wheel-bound for the rest of his life.
Besides, he would lose sensation in his legs.
Anurse noticed Jean standing outside the ward for some time but did not go in, so she reminded her, “The visitation hours will be over soon.
Do you want to go in?” Jean shook her head and turned to walk away.
Xena noticed Jean outside the ward and dashed out immediately.
“Why did you do this?! He will be wheel-bound forever.
Are you happy now?!" What is she talking about? Jean turned around slowly.
"Are you talking to me?" Xena bit her lips and snorted.
"Of course.
Who else would be this ruthless to bribe the doctors and sabotage the operation?" Jean laughed in spite of herself.
Only if it's so easy to make one disappear.
