Chapter 323 Stop Connecting Them Together
The others also criticized Jean. “You should admit your crimes. What a joke!” “I heard Eyer Group closed down again. People like her should scram.”
A tall, lean man suddenly walked out of the elevator in a flurry of noise. It was Edgar. He had a solemn expression as he glanced at Jean with cold eyes. “Edgar!”
Gigi rushed to him. “I’ve been looking for you everywhere. I was so scared.” She began to act coyly while the others rained accusations on Jean. On the other hand, Winnie stood by the pillar at the back, watching the scene quietly.
She had a feeling that Jean did not do it. Furthermore, looking at Jean’s expression, it seemed she would have difficulty getting out of this today.
“Are you all right?”
Edgar pursed his lips and asked the question Gigi wanted to hear. Unfortunately, it was not directed at her but at Jean.
Gigi was frozen to her spot.
“Edgar, I was nearly frightened to death by that thing. Why are you asking her?” Gigi tugged his arm hard and whispered to remind him, “Everyone’s watching us.”
If Edgar sided with Jean now, it would humiliate Gigi and the Reece family.
Hearing her, Edgar finally looked away from Jean and turned to Gigi.
He asked, “Were you frightened?”
Gigi was delighted. As I thought, Edgar still cared about me. Even if he doesn’t, he must maintain his appearance before everyone.
Her expression brightened, and she said coyly, “Yes, I was terrified.” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
“Get someone to send her home.”
Then, Edgar removed his hand from hers, ignoring her whines in protest. He walked to Jean and said, “This is not a good place to talk. Since you have caused a huge scene, shouldn’t you explain yourself?”
Ben frowned and whispered, “Jean, let’s go.”
He was worried that Jean would not stand a chance against them.
Furthermore, it seemed Edgar had fully sided with the Reece family.
Sam rushed over with an annoyed expression and shouted, “What happened? Who bullied my daughter?”
“Stop shouting. Edgar has arranged for Gigi to go home.” Winnie found him embarrassing. She grabbed him and said, “Edgar will deal with this matter. You better not get involved.”
However, her words made Sam even more furious.
He took out his frustration from what happened with Quinn on Winnie. “I had only left for a while. Why couldn’t you even take care of her properly? You even caused her to be frightened. What’s the use of keeping you around?”
Winnie was stunned. Why is he suddenly scolding me?
The other guests did not expect so many things to happen at a banquet held by the Reece family.
Meanwhile, Edgar had finished speaking and gave Jean ample time to respond. He kept looking at her. It seemed he only had eyes for her alone.
Jean considered for a moment before saying, “Where to?”
She also did not want others to misunderstand her and curse her name. Moreover, she knew what Ben said was right. Even if she did not mind, she still needed to consider the Eyer family.
In actuality, she was not asleep at the time. Thus, she heard everything Ben had said in the car.
She also needed to accept that it was pointless for her to persist this way.
Gigi would never be grateful for what Jean did, and nothing would change. Thus, Jean believed she should change her mindset and the situation as soon as possible.
“There’s a café downstairs.”
Edgar’s expression softened slightly as he said that.
The three of them left together. Since Gigi had been sent home, the whole banquet suddenly quieted down.
Sam frowned and announced, “That’s all. Everyone can leave now.”
After what happened, he did not want to continue with the banquet.
Winnie saw him put on his coat and was about to leave. She rushed to stop him. “Where are you going?”
