Edgar And His Destined Wife 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.

As promised, she sent a message to Winnie.

Then, she drove to Reece Residence and parked there.

In no time, a few black cars also arrived.

As soon as Sam’s housekeeper opened the door, his creditors barged in forcefully.

“Sam Reece, get your *ss out here!”

“You owe me so much money, yet you aren’t going to pay me back! On top of that, you even want to escape

abroad? I’ll punch you!”

It was a rather familiar scene.

In the past, the same scene happened at Eyer Residence.

Jean was in her room, scared and helpless, crying silently as she watched them take away all the house’s valuables.

It was finally time for Sam to experience the same thing.

Since Winnie had received the message from Jean, she had packed some expensive items and hid them elsewhere.

When she came back, she saw Jean in her car.

Covering her face with a hat, she quickly ran to her.

“You told the creditors, didn’t you? A few of them used to be Sam’s card buddies! Will they expose you?”

Jean smiled at her kindly.

“Well, I actually hope they’ll do that”

Looking at her confidence, regret washed over Winnie.

Why did I run away when the Eyer family had a hard time? With Jean around, I didn’t have to end up in this way and

fake smiles in front of Sam.

“I guess everything will be over for the Reece family soon.Your revenge will soon be successful; Winnie spoke

carefully.

“You won’t blame me, will you? I’m fully supporting you now”

She was worried about Jean taking revenge on her once this was over.

After this, I won’t bring any value to Jean anymore.

On top of that, I’ll have a mountain of debt.

I feel that Jean won’t let me off the hook just like this.

Upon seeing Jean’s silence, she quickly took out a crystal bracelet from her bag.

“This is the last piece of jewelry I have.Here, you can have it.I heard that it will bring good luck.This is my final token

of appreciation.”

With that, she quickly got out of Jean’s car and walked into Reece Residence hurriedly.

Even at such a crucial moment, she still had to put on an act in front of Sam, telling him that she would never

betray him and would stay with him forever.

She would do that to get the last bits of his money she had done the same thing when she was with the Eyer family.

This was the main reason why Jean felt disgusted when she saw Winnie.

She couldn’t fathom why her father would marry such a woman.

Yells and the sound of objects breaking were heard from Reece Residence.

Jean took some pictures and sent them to the manager of the media company with the message, ‘Though Reece

Group is declared bankrupt, Sam Reece can still repay all the creditors: After that, she placed her phone aside and

put on her sunglasses before making her way to the prison.

She felt disoriented when she reached the gate, as though the one year she had spent there had been a dream.



“Visiting? Fill in this form”

The policewoman passed a form to her.

After shooting a glance at Jean, the policewoman opened the glass window.

“Are you…”
