Chapter 75 Traps
There was a serious accident in Yorktown that night. Monica, the creative director of MON & Co., got in a car accident. It was originally just a small accident, but the news won headlines because Monica was sitting in Yorktown’s real estate mogul, Carl’s car. Carl was over fifty years old, and his wife had just passed away two months ago.
When they reached the hospital, media reporters immediately flocked toward them. Jean didn’t know about the news, and she was excluded by her colleagues.
By the time she got the news, she was already on the plane back to Yorktown. She sent a message to Monica, then turned off her phone. She had to recuperate and build up energy as she still had a lot of things to do.
But when she closed her eyes, her plans became clearer in her mind. Carl is Jonathan’s uncle. A new building to be completed next year by Royden Group was tendered for construction by Carl’s company. Now that Carl had gotten into an accident with his suspected mistress, the incident will definitely impact the reputation of Carl’s company.
After all, it was Edgar’s decision to cooperate with Carl’s company.
Jean’s mouth tilted slightly. Her plans went smoother than she expected.
After the plane landed at the airport, Jean followed MON & Co.’s employees out. She ran into Edgar and Gigi, who was walking out from another passage.
Gigi was pleading with Edgar in a whining voice.
“Edgar, can you send me home? My dad is too busy, and he definitely won’t come and pick me up.”
Jean carried her bag and thought in her heart. Right! Your dad is going to be very busy today indeed.
Edgar seemed to be worrying about something.
He put down his phone and said softly, “The driver will send you back.”
“I don’t want the driver to send me home. I want you.” Gigi began to throw a tantrum. Edgar was extremely annoyed by her childish behavior.
Royden Group would always be his number one priority.
Jean had no interest in listening to their conversations, so she quickened her pace.
However, Edgar saw her and grabbed her luggage.
Jean stared at him and asked, “What do you want?”
“Are you the one who hacked Royden Group’s host file?”
Jean was about to let the cat out of the bag when Edgar stared at her.
But she managed to remain calm and smiled, “Wow, who is that awesome guy who did such a righteous and courageous movement? I should invite him to dinner. However, it’s definitely not me as I don’t have the money to hire a hacker.”
Jean wasn’t lying.
Royden Group’s host file wasn’t easy to hack into. Besides, who would dare to do that?
Jean had no money to pay for a hacker too.
“Can you let go of me now? Your fiancé is staring at me.” Jean sneered. “We still have chances to meet anyway. See you at your wedding.”
She tossed Edgar’s hand in disgust and walked away.
Ally tagged along with Ben, so he came out late from the plane. When he saw Jean, he immediately chased after her.
Edgar frowned as he watched Ben and Jean walking out of the airport together.
“Edgar, what was she talking about? What wedding?” Gigi’s heart was beating fast. Jean and Edgar seemed to be getting closer!
Aren’t they enemies?
Gigi bit her lips as she was really nervous.
Edgar looked at her and said softly, “I have been busy lately and had forgotten to tell you that I have already sent someone to prepare our wedding. It will be held this coming Friday.”
“Is that true?” Gigi was overjoyed.
But after a few seconds, she got angry again.
Why do I have to know about my wedding from Jean’s mouth?
