Chapter 74 A Coincidence
After Gigi finished speaking, she quickly walked toward the door. She didn’t expect Jean to threaten her from behind. “The misunderstanding between Edgar and I couldn’t get any worse.”
Gigi was speechless. She had touched the doorknob. Jean deliberately raised her voice, “I remember Reece Group’s office number.” Gigi couldn’t imagine the consequences of letting her father see those wild and foolish photos of her in her youth.
“Miles, I’m fine. You may go back first.” Gigi shouted. After that, she took a few steps back and stood aside. Jean’s mouth tilted slightly. She was satisfied with Gigi’s wisdom.
Jean gestured for Gigi to step back. Gigi did as ordered. Jean frowned as she didn’t expect Gigi to be so obedient. She was bored. Jean opened the door and glanced at Miles. She then turned to look at Edgar and asked, “How can I help you?”
Linda rushed in and held Gigi’s hand immediately. “Gigi, don’t worry. Mr. Royden is here to save you.”
Linda sounded as if Jean’s room was a scary place. Edgar stepped forward and checked on Gigi. After confirming that she was not harmed, he turned to look at Jean. “What are you doing?”
Edgar questioned Jean angrily. Jean took out her mobile phone calmly, “Your fiancé was worried that I didn’t enjoy myself enough during the fashion week runway shows, so she came to my room and danced for me. Here is a video of her dancing.”
No one believed in Jean.
However, Edgar frowned as he saw the video. He got really angry.
He turned and instructed Miles, “Send Gigi back to her room.”
“Yes, sir.”
Jean stared at Edgar as if she was planning something.
The door of Jean’s room was being closed again.
Gigi left unwillingly, “Linda, please stand outside the door. Let me know if anything happens.”
Linda nodded.
But before she could move forward, Miles stopped her.
“Both of you go back to your room. Please don’t upset Mr. Royden.”
“I’m worried about him.” Gigi faked a smile. She was so afraid that Jean would betray her and show her embarrassing photos to Edgar.
She couldn’t sit still!
“Go, Linda.”
Miles stood rooted on the spot. She reminded Gigi again, “Miss Reece, you should go back to your room first. Maybe Mr. Royden will bring you good news in a while.”
Gigi knew that Miles was one of Edgar’s most trusted assistants, so she didn’t want to provoke a conflict with her.
However, Gigi couldn’t care less about the good news Miles was talking about.
She went into her room tiredly with Linda.
“Gigi, what are you going to do? Will you really give her five hundred thousand?”
“Yes.” Gigi gritted her teeth angrily. At the same time, Winnie called her.
Due to the time difference, fashion week runway shows had just been broadcasted in Yorktown.
Winnie thought that Gigi was in a good mood, so she deliberately took the opportunity to make a call, trying to cotton up with Gigi.
She didn’t know that Gigi had just been fooled by Jean and was in a bad mood.
“Don’t call me for no reason!” Gigi yelled.
Winnie originally wanted to show Sam how good her relationship was with her stepdaughter.
Sam was looking at the newspaper when he heard his daughter scream. He immediately pulled a long face.
Winnie hurriedly asked in a soft voice, “What’s wrong, Gigi? Why are you unhappy? Is it because of Jean?”
Winnie walked into the kitchen as she spoke.
“Of course it’s about her.” Gigi inflicted her anger on her stepmother by yelling at her about the incident that happened just now.
Winnie remained silent for a long time.
