Chapter 91 I Found You a Sponsor
“Don’t worry. I’m not as stupid as Gigi.” Jean pulled out a card and waved it before Winnie. “Does this look familiar to you?”
“Isn’t this…” Winnie widened her eyes in panic. It was the card she stole from Eyer Residence. The card originally belonged to Jean. Jean said firmly, “You are to return all the money that was originally on this card and not a cent less.”
Winnie had no idea what Edgar said to Jean or how Jean managed to recover the card. All Winnie could feel now was panic, and she did not dare to look at Jean.”Don’t feign ignorance. I checked with the bank. This card originally contained five million.”
However, within a month after the Eyer family went bankrupt, someone withdrew that five million through multiple transactions.
My father transferred five million into this card on my birthday. I don’t know how Winnie got her hands on this card.
Winnie’s face blanched, and she gave a dry laugh. “Jeannie, I didn’t know it had so much money. It was your father who insisted on giving it to me.”
Jean could not be bothered to expose Winnie’s lie.
Instead, she threw the card at Winnie. “You have three days to return the money. Otherwise, I will make the Reece family suffer the same end as the Eyer family.”
“Jeannie, don’t be so cruel. Gigi and her father didn’t do anything wrong.”
Jean smirked disdainfully. She stared into Winnie’s eyes and threatened. “If you say any more nonsense, I will go in and tell Sam about your past.”
Her words scared Winnie into silence and made her let go of her hand.
Winnie did not dare to look at Jean and retreated helplessly.
Then, Jean turned around to leave. She glanced at Winnie and looked away with disgust.
In regards to the VIP card she used to enter Grand Ocean Tower, she borrowed it from Zane. Thus, after the meeting with Winnie, she went to Zane straightaway to return the card.Zane was surprised to see her. He did not expect her to finish using it so soon.
“Ms. Eyer, you can keep using the card a little longer.” Zane looked at Jean kindly.
“I don’t need it, and I don’t have time to spare.” Jean frowned before looking at Zane again. “Can you tell me who told you to give me this job?”
She was not sure whether Zane would know if it was Edgar or other bosses who allowed her to work in MON & Co.Jean wanted to know because she considered making a deal with the person who admitted her. She wanted to seize every opportunity she could.
“It was an order from the company’s bosses. If you have any questions, I can help send them up.” Zane gave the answer he prepared in advance. In fact, he thought she would ask this question much earlier.
“Never mind, there is no need to do that.”
Jean waved her hand. She was not interested in matters concerning Edgar.
Soon after Jean left, Zane sent an email detailing Jean’s whereabouts throughout the week and the people she met. The receiver of the email was someone named ‘BOSS’.Ding!
A notification sounded on the computer.
The man seated at the desk moved the mouse and glanced at the content on the screen. His eyes darkened.
At this moment, Miles knocked on the door and walked in. “Mr. Royden, Oprah Group confirmed that they have received the agreement. They have no issues with the conditions, so we can officially start the project next week.”
Edgar remained silent.
Then, Miles placed the documents on the table and hesitated before saying, “The negotiation with Ludwig Group is nearly done, but they hope we can raise the price again. They also sent over an invitation to a birthday banquet for Mr. Ludwig’s wife.”Edgar did not even bother to look at the invitation. “I’m not going.”
He would not attend such a pointless banquet.
“Understood, Mr. Royden. I will reply to them.” Then, Miles retreated quietly.
Edgar unbuttoned his collar and leaned back in his chair. A beautiful face appeared in his mind.
