Chapter 76 Send That Beggar Away?
Jean waved for a taxi but did not leave directly. She asked the taxi driver to stop nearby. She chuckled when she saw Gigi and Winnie getting into a car together. “Please follow that car.”
The taxi driver glanced at the license plate of the car and asked, “Miss, who are they? I don’t do illegal business.” “She is… my dad’s ex-girlfriend.”
Jean said while looking down at her phone. Reece Group’s share price dropped again. Winnie had been dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family. She must be jumping up and down now. Sam is different from my father.
Sam is a nouveau riche. With the economic downturn, the Reece family will not survive without capital funding. Jean hummed all the way. She watched Gigi and Winnie entering the Reece residence with joy in her heart.
Suddenly, the taxi driver said, “Miss, we can’t enter the luxury gated community in front of us without a key.” Jean ignored the taxi driver. She took out her mobile phone and called someone. Meanwhile, at the Reece residence…
Gigi rushed into her house, “Dad, what’s going on?”
“Shut up!” Sam was on the phone, trying to ask an old friend for help. He turned around and yelled at Gigi. Gigi was shocked. She turned to look at Winnie and remained silent.
On the other hand, Winnie’s mobile phone rang. It was an unknown caller. She hesitated for a while, then picked up the call. “Who’s speaking?”
“It’s me. I’m outside the Reece residence. Can I go in?” Jean looked down at her shoes. She wasn’t surprised to hear Winnie’s nervous voice.
“I’m coming out now!”
Winnie grabbed her handbag and walked out anxiously.
Tears welled up in Winnie’s eyes as soon as she saw Jean. “Jean, you have lost so much weight. Are you suffering? Why didn’t you come to me earlier?”
Jean frowned.
She never realized that Winnie had such good acting skills.
Jean looked at Winnie emotionlessly, “How can I find you? You changed all your contact numbers, and you even moved.”
“That’s… because I’m afraid of those debt collectors. I really have no choice but to leave. I’m sorry that I didn’t keep my promise to your father to protect you.” Winnie burst into tears.
Jean stared hopelessly at Winnie.
Only if Winnie would show that she still had feelings for her father or show a tiny bit of remorse.
But she didn’t.
Winnie was carefully observing Jean’s expression.
She dragged Jean to the side while crying.
She took out an envelope from her bag and stuffed it into Jean’s hand. “This is my savings over the years. I know it’s not much, but I hope that I can help you.”
“Savings?”
“Yes. I didn’t have much money and I wasn’t your dad’s wife when he passed away. That was why I didn’t contribute to his funeral. It won’t do him any good too, even if I had stayed at the Eyer residence. Do you understand? ”
Yes.
She is asking me to seek revenge from someone else, but not her. I should not bother her dream of living a wealthy life.
