Chapter 295 Stop Asking
She stared at the man who was surrounded by the villagers. She felt repulsed by his hypocritical behavior. He ruined someone’s family. Yet he was still living a respectful and reputable life. What right has he got to enjoy this?
Jean bit her lip, and walked over. “Mr. Royden, you really are a kind man. Can you tell us why you came for the opening ceremony today? Didn’t you come just to save your company’s face and reputation, rather than for the sake of these children?”
Her words caught the people’s attention. Jean’s smile widened. “Everyone, it is true that the Royden Group has sponsored Hope Elementary School. But he has used your gratitude as a tool to make more money. That’s a fact too. Don’t you feel any shame or guilt seeing their sincere and thankful eyes?”
She wanted to expose Edgar’s act of pretense and make it known that he’s a hypocrite! The best talent this man had was putting on a show.
The villagers were puzzled. “How can you say that, miss? Mr. Royden has always been our savior.” “This deal is really good. Just a few hundred thousand and Royden Group gets a good reputation.” Jean gritted her teeth with hatred.
How can he deceive these guileless people? As soon as Jean finished speaking, Mr. Jevin came. He grabbed her and scolded, “What do you know? You’re just an outsider! Now scram!”Then Mr.
Jevin shouted loudly, “Mr. Royden is the one who made it possible for the children in our village to attend school. That way, they will be able to earn money to buy food in the future! We must thank him!”
“Thank you!” The shouts drowned out Jean’s words earlier on.
She looked at Mr. Jevin with disbelief. Before she could open her mouth and continue, Mr. Jevin had already pulled her aside angrily.
“It’s the opening ceremony of this elementary school today. I shall not tolerate any trouble from you if you dare cause any.” Mr. Jevin’s face was red with anger.
Jean was even more puzzled. “I heard everything last night. You’ve known him for a very long time, so naturally, you would think fondly of him. I’m not here to cause trouble for no reason. I’m speaking the truth.” “That’s impossible. He……”
“She’s indeed speaking the truth.” Edgar walked towards them sternly. Jean tried her best to remain calm. “Mr. Jevin, you see. He has just admitted it himself.”
Mr. Jevin glanced at Edgar. “Do you know this girl?”
Edgar smiled and nodded. “I know her very well. So you don’t have to worry that I would bully her.”
Jean was taken aback.
So Mr. Jevin had pulled her away just now because he was afraid that she would suffer injuries after bluntly pointing out the truth in the past.
“Well, you should have told me earlier. I’m too old for your games.” Mr. Jevin waved, “Time’s almost up too. Hurry up and go in.”
Jean cast Edgar a look, then quickened her footsteps. She whispered something into Mr. Jevin’s ear.
Edgar followed slowly.
Soon, the opening ceremony started. Jean quickly found a corner and stayed there. She tried hard to find those who had similar looks to those in the photo. At the same time, she chatted with Mr. Jevin
from time to time, not forgetting to make a good impression on him.
After all, he was her greatest hope now.
Mr. Jevin waved at her impatiently as he chewed on some seeds. “Stop bugging me. I don’t know anything. I really don’t remember anything at such an old age.”
Jean patiently handed over the seeds she had peeled to him.
“It wasn’t an easy journey for me to make it here alone. I don’t wish to go home empty handed. Please don’t mind me. I will not force you.”
“You……”
Mr. Jevin took his stool and sat on the other side of the stage.
Before Jean could follow him, she was stopped.
She turned around and looked. She frowned. “Let go of me.”
But she failed to break free. Edgar brought her to the back. “Miles has invited some reporters for an interview session. Do you want to go out in front of all the reporters or stay here in the back?” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Jean was startled. She wouldn’t be able to explain herself if she was captured in the same photo as Edgar again.
She stood against the curtains and hid behind them.
