Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 338

Chapter 338 Troublemaker

Thereafter, Jean called Ben. Besides those that were reported on the news, there must be some insider news, and she had to obtain more secret information in order to negotiate with Edgar.

“Sam Reece is driven to the corner. He even knelt down outside the bank to beg for a loan from the bank director, but the credit limit of the Reeces had been depleted. I believe they will be announced bankrupt in less than three days.”

Not only the banks but many collaborating partners were also urging Sam to pay up too. If he couldn’t clear the debts, he had to file for bankruptcy.

“What about Gigi?” Jean frowned as she was worried that Jean couldn’t take such a huge blow. “She has gone missing.” Ben had been hesitating if he should inform Jean about the news. “I sent some men to search for her but to no avail. She doesn’t even care about her son anymore.”

Nonetheless, Gigi’s reaction was natural because there was nothing much she could do as an obsolete artist who was abandoned by a business magnate.

Toward the end, the child was the most unfortunate one.

Jean bit her lips and mumbled, “Sam can’t possibly lose out everything at once. He met up with people from Ranford International a few days ago. Didn’t he gain anything from there?”

Ben was stunned for a moment on the other end of the line.

“Really? But the information I obtained is that Ranford International joined forces with Royden Group. Ranford International participated in the acquisition of Reece Group’s shares too. Royden Group might collaborate with Ranford International on some AI projects in the future. After all, the latter is an expert in artificial intelligence.”

Wait a minute. So, Edgar has plotted everything since the beginning, and he was just waiting for a chance! He retained the upper hand despite being set up by the others and involved in an accident. If Sam and Gigi didn’t plot against him, he wouldn’t be this merciless.

Jean tightened her grip on the phone and remained silent for quite some while. Given the current situation, she reckoned Edgar only brought her away with one intention – he didn’t want her to interfere with the matter and would only bring her back after he settled with Gigi.

Jean closed her eyes slowly. “Ben, please help to find Gigi as soon as possible. I’m worried that she’ll be harmed.”

“Edgar is only attacking them from the business perspective. I don’t think he’ll go after a woman.” Ben had never doubted that Edgar would do so. In fact, he admired Edgar to a certain extent because anyone else might be even more ruthless.

“Even if he won’t go after Gigi, it doesn’t mean that others won’t. For example, Sam.”

There was nothing one wouldn’t do when they were driven to the corner. Moreover, Gigi wasn’t Sam’s biological daughter, so Jean was worried that he would act recklessly out of desperation.

“Don’t worry, I will.” Then, Ben asked in a gentler tone, “Are you okay?”

Jean smiled. “Yeah. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be back in two days.”

Although Edgar was more than a wild card, he was a man of his word.

“Alright, I’ll pick you up at the airport.”

After ending the call with Ben, Jean lay on the bed silently. She needed some time to gather her thoughts so that she could gain benefits from the current complicated situation.

On the other hand, Miles came to the hotel after settling everything in Yorktown.

“Everything is settled, Mr. Royden. This is the share transfer agreement. As you expected, Sam Reece agreed to sell ten percent of Reece Group’s shares that he was holding to Ranford International.”

Obviously, Sam was desperate and clutching at straws. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have trusted Joey from Ranford International after only getting to know her for a few days. Little did he know that Ranford International had joined forces with Royden Group.

Edgar smirked when he knew everything turned out as his plan. “Has Andy come around?”

“Yeah, he only suffered minor injuries. We’ve sent him to a private hospital as you wished.”

Andy was the only patient in the entire building, so they didn’t even have to send security guards to keep an eye on him.
