Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385 A Stalemate

Sam only showed up the second day Gigi was admitted to the hospital. Neither Gigi nor Sam was happy to see each other, especially when Sam noticed Jean was also in the room.

“Why are you…” Sam had just begun to ask when reporters swarmed in from the corridor. “Ms. Reece, can you answer a few questions? We are all curious about your condition!”

“Why did you faint in Mr. Royden’s home? Were you alone with him then?” “Did you see him because he got back together with his ex-wife? Did you faint from anger?”

The reporters kept firing questions without shame. What happened between the three of them recently was trending news. Thus, everyone wanted to dig up explosive news materials.

“Ms. Reece, did you suddenly faint because of Ms. Eyer?”

Sam had no choice but to hide his fury and put on a worried expression before facing the reporters. “Everyone, my daughter needs a peaceful environment to recuperate. She is still unwell, so please don’t ask her any more questions. Once the time is right, we will reveal everything to the public.”

“Mr. Reece, are you trying to hide something?” “Ms. Reece will lose the most once Mr. Royden gets back together with his ex-wife!”

“Are they as intimate as before? After all, Ms. Reece is his only publicly recognized girlfriend after his divorce.”

The reporters pushed one question after another and would not stop.

Sam said nothing but sighed. That was enough to piquet the reporters’ interest.

“We really can’t accept any interview now. I’m sorry.”

He acted the role of a loving father before the reporters. However, his expression changed immediately as soon as the door closed. He looked at Gigi lying in bed and ordered coldly, “Get dressed now and come home with me! Do you know everyone was waiting for you last night? How dare you run to Edgar’s house instead?”

Sam had organized a drinking party to introduce Gigi to a few older presidents of various companies. That way, he could negotiate a few business contracts and improve Reece Group’s financial situation. Then, he would no longer worry about the bank chasing him for debt payments.

How dare that b*tch disobey me?

Having suffered humiliation, Sam did not care that Jean was in the room and dragged Gigi off the bed.

“No, I’m not going!”

Jean glared at Sam and said through gritted teeth, “If you touch her again, I will open the door and show this to the reporters.”

Sam froze.

Gigi took the opportunity to escape from the other end of the bed and ran to the window. “Don’t come near. Otherwise, I’ll jump down.”

“Hah… Great. This is just wonderful.”

Sam gritted his teeth and said, “You think this is enough to fight me? I’ve raised her for more than twenty years. Unless I permit it, she shall never leave the Reece family.”

After leaving those threatening words, Sam left and slammed the door behind him.

The reporters waiting outside followed after him.

Once Sam got into his car, he immediately called his subordinates and ordered them to watch Jean. They were to report to him every person Jean met.

The corridor gradually quieted down. Gigi stood barefoot on the balcony and pressed her fingernail into her palm. “Are you happy? I’ve become homeless like you.”

Jean looked at Gigi’s beautiful but pale face and frowned.

“You should direct your hatred at Sam, not me.”

It was his greed that led to their suffering.

Gigi smiled bitterly. “But he’s right. He did raise me for more than twenty years. What about you all? When you guys live happily as a family, did you even spare a thought for me? This is karma. The Eyer family deserves Edgar’s revenge!”

Jean clenched her hands tighter.

She was unable to relax them.

After a long while, she said slowly, “Do you really want Edgar?”

“Why do you ask when you know the answer? Are you trying to humiliate me?”

Gigi stared at Jean’s face with hatred. “Why didn’t Sam take you away instead of me? That way, Edgar would have fallen in love with me.”
