Chapter 223 Be Very Careful
Anxiety had overwhelmed Gigi. She wanted to rush to Royden Residence immediately. “Stop!” Sam shouted. “Royden Group is in a mess at the moment. I will meet Andy tomorrow, and I want you to stay at home!”
“What’s the use of Andy? He wouldn’t be working under Edgar if he was really that smart and capable.” Gigi mumbled. Well, Andy cared about her more, and that was the only good thing about him.
Other than that, Edgar was above Andy in every way. Seeing the father and daughter squabble, Winnie sighed, “Actually, I have an idea to steer Jean away from Edgar, but the execution is a bit difficult.”
“Do you really have a solution, Winnie?” Gigi’s eyes lit up. She had always wanted to plot against Jean, but now that she was pregnant, it was impossible for her to do that.
Winnie looked awkward as she met Gigi’s hopeful eyes. Gigi had never regarded Winnie as her stepmother even after so many years. She called her by name.
Sam sat on the other side, and glowered at Gigi, “Winnie? You should change that already.” Gigi muttered, “If she can help me get rid of Jean, I’ll call her Mom.” “Really?”
“Of course! The premise is that I want Jean to never see Edgar again. I really don’t want to see her face anymore.” Winnie’s smile deepened, “Okay, Gigi. Wait for my good news.”
In fact, Winnie and Gigi shared the same thought. Winnie still had a lot of the Eyer family’s belongings waiting to be sold, and she could only auction off those things after getting rid of Jean.
Not only could she get rid of Jean, who she hated, but at the same time, she could improve her relationship with Gigi. It would be the best of both worlds!Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Furthermore, if something went wrong, she could shift the blame to the Reece father and daughter duo.
Winnie was convinced that her plan was perfect.
…
Early the next morning.
Jean heard knocking on the door, and when she opened it, she saw a teary Winnie at her door.
“What are you doing here?”
Jean wasn’t happy to see Winnie.
“Jeannie, I know I have wronged you in the past, and I’m here today to apologize to you.” Winnie took out a card from her bag, “This is the balance, and I will transfer the money to you all at once today.”
She can’t be serious. Is she being genuine or lying?
Jean didn’t take the card even after thinking for a while.
Winnie lowered her chin and wiped away her tears, “I’m divorcing Sam. He said he was going to bring that woman home and I really couldn’t take it. I will leave this place after the divorce. But before I leave, I want to tell you everything I know about the Eyer family.”
“Come in.”
Jean reluctantly stepped aside and let Winnie in.
She also made sure no one was lurking in the corridor before she closed the door.
Winnie sounded croaky as if she had been crying for a long time, “I remember that your father was very close to a big boss at that time. I didn’t know the person, but I know he kept persuading your father to collaborate with him. Not long after that, Eyer Group fell apart.”
“But I happened to see that man again recently!”
Winnie took out a photo, “It’s him.”
It was Edbert.
“Was Dad in contact with Edbert before he went bankrupt?” Jean doubted. As far as she knew, Edbert had resided overseas and only came back to Royden Group recently.
Edbert should still be abroad managing Royden Group’s international businesses.
But Winnie shouldn’t know Edbert. She wouldn’t be able to make up such a believable lie even if she really wanted to.
Jean kept quiet.
Winnie saw that Jean was in deep thought. After a while, Jean looked up and Winnie quickly added, “Jeannie, I know there’s a misunderstanding between us. I don’t know what to do to make you feel better. But please take care of yourself.”
“Anything else? If not, please leave.”
“One more thing, one more thing!” Winnie jabbered. She inhaled deeply as if to muster courage, “I suspect that the child in Gigi’s womb belongs to someone else but Edgar.”
Jean frowned.
Winnie clenched her teeth and blurted, “I have nothing to be afraid of since I have decided to sever ties with the Reece family. And I think you should tell Edgar about this.”
About half an hour later.
