Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457

"You don't have to take care of me because of the baby.You have nothing to do with it anyway."

Jean slowly lifted her head to look at Edgar.

"So please stop looking at me with sympathy in your eyes."

He frowned and sat in a chair.

"Susan is going to make you some porridge in the evening.She will send it over.I'll have to go to the office in a bit.Perhaps I can't fetch you after you are discharged."

Jean closed her eyes, and a tear silently fell down her cheek.

"Edgar, are you deaf? I've already made myself clear enough, yet you still don't understand! You don't need to care for me because of the baby - it's not yours, get it?"

She was clearly challenging his boundaries and dignity.

Yet, there was no change in his expression.

"I know you well — I'm sure I'm the father."

He had never once suspected the possibility.

Over the days, he couldn't think of anything else apart from worrying about her.

"Be it the relationship with Pinnacle Group or the collaboration with the Rothschild family, they are nothing compared to you."

Jean pursed her lips quietly.

He sat by the bed and kept her company for a long time.

Finally, he suppressed his anxiety and got up.

"I'm leaving now.Rest well."

After hearing a flurry of footsteps and the door closing, his figure disappeared around the corner.

Jean could no longer hold her emotions back anymore.She put her guard down and spent the rest of the day wallowing in her thoughts, touching her belly underneath the sheets.

I will never let anyone know about this baby.

Edbert had his eye on taking over Royden Group.

If he knew that Edgar had a son as a legal successor, it would be dangerous for both Jean and the baby.She thought it over and called Robert.

"You're amazing, Ms.Eyer.Sam thought I was Norton Law Firm's adversary and signed the contract with me.I will be in charge of his legal issues from now onward."

With that, he walked to a secluded place and lowered his voice.

"I also heard that he transferred all his assets to an island overseas.Right now, he only has a few mortgages here.He's basically broke.Since Reece Group has officially declared bankruptcy, the stakeholders often visit his place to force him to meet them.He doesn't even dare to step out of his house, so all the documents are brought to him by his secretary."

If it weren't for Sam and Jean giving him a desirable sum of money, he wouldn't even want to be involved in this mess.

"Mr.Martin, Sam is a very suspicious person.As long as you do your job, he won't have any reason to doubt you."

Jean looked out of the window calmly.

"Got it.Based on what I've observed, it's likely that he'll go abroad within a month.When that happens..."

He was worried about Jean's plan failing if Sam left the country.

"I know.I will take action soon."

After hanging up, she requested to be discharged half a day earlier.

Immediately after returning to Eyer Group, she contacted her father's previous business partners.

Sam owed many people a lot of money.

Last time he used his health as an excuse to escape the police's prosecution.

However, now that he was involved in such a hefty sum of money, it would be difficult for him to escape.

After making a few calls, his creditors knew he would escape abroad.
