Chapter 183

I Won’t Accept His Charity

Jean walked into the freight elevator with a cap over her head and entered Royden Tower. No one
came to stop her. Then, she glanced around and saw a chubby man in the distance. He was bald at the
top of his head. It’s him.

Last night, at Edgar’s villa, she saw the same balding man. She had investigated the layout of Royden
Group and knew the meeting room was on this floor. It meant there would likely be a director’s meeting,
and the directors had gathered to challenge Edgar’s decision.

Jean kept her head down and walked away. She accidentally noticed the pantry’s door left ajar and
smirked. “Haha, what a lucky day for me.”

…

“Mr. Royden, someone infiltrated the company.” Miles rushed to the office as soon as he received the
report. “Speak.”

Edgar frowned when he saw Miles hesitating.

“Mr. Jameson and Mr. Blanc have been rushed to the hospital due to food poisoning. We checked the
surveillance record and found someone sneaking into the pantry before the meeting. The person
changed the tea leaves for their tea.”

Since the matter was caused by the negligence of the security department, Miles immediately assigned
people to investigate.

He soon received the outcome of the investigation. However, due to the identity of the infiltrator, it was
not his place to decide the next course of action.



Edgar’s eyes flashed coldly as he asked, “Was it Jean?”

Miles nodded. “Yes.”

Edgar quickly read through the documents Miles gave him and frowned helplessly. “Send someone to
check their conditions at the hospital. For now…”

However, Mr. Blanc’s assistant knocked on the door urgently before Edgar could finish speaking.

“Mr. Royden, Mr. Blanc has regained consciousness. He saw a suspicious person during the poisoning
incident. It was your ex-wife, Jean.” The assistant did not dare to look at Edgar’s intimidating
expression.

At the same time, the assistant was still holding a phone and was in the midst of a call.

Edgar knew who was on the other end without needing to ask.

Thus, he put down his fountain pen and raised his hand.

Before the assistant could react, Miles took his phone and gave it to Edgar.

“Jason, you must tell Mr. Royden I have seen that woman. She is probably seeking revenge over the
matters concerning Garrison Group! I won’t let this go. I must get to the bottom of this.”

Mr. Blanc did not notice another person had taken the phone and continued to scold furiously.

“How dare that b*tch think she can raise the company again? I’ll kick her out of Yorktown.”

“Mr. Blanc, are you done speaking?” Edgar’s voice was cold and intimidating.

Mr. Blanc was stunned. “Mr. Royden?”



His arrogance and fury disappeared without a trace as he said, “Mr. Royden, you must help us. Mr.
Jameson and I are old and frail. We can’t withstand such a ploy against us. Furthermore, food
poisoning is a serious matter. The doctor said Mr. Jameson and I are in a precarious condition.”

Is he telling me to stop investigating?

Edgar turned around and looked at the city scenery outside. “Mr. Blanc, you sound energetic. I think
you are fine.”

“I… Ahem, I only sounded energetic because I was angry.”

“You should recuperate in the hospital. You and Mr. Jameson don’t have to worry about other matters
for now.” Edgar’s gaze was cold as ice.

“Other matters?” Mr. Blanc was still stunned when Edgar hung up.

Edgar tossed the phone and left his office.

Meanwhile, Mr. Blanc’s assistant, Jason, was confused as he followed Miles and asked softly, “Miles,
what did Mr. Royden mean?”

Miles glanced at Jason’s clueless expression and answered calmly, “What he meant was Mr. Blanc
should recuperate in the hospital for a few more days. He doesn’t have to get involved in other
matters.”

“What other matters?” Jason blinked curiously.

“Apart from staying in the hospital, he is not to show up for any matters.”

For example, he must not say anything if reporters ask him questions.

Furthermore, he should not get involved with the Garrison Group matter.



In other words, Mr. Blanc and Mr. Jameson should shut up and mind their own business.

Edgar entered the elevator and asked when Miles walked in, “Has she left?”

“Probably not.” Miles sounded unsure.

He could not understand why Jean did not escape immediately after what she did. Is she waiting for
someone to catch her?

Edgar pressed his tie knot and instructed, “Open all the exits in the car park and turn off the
surveillance cameras for now.”

Miles nodded immediately.

It seems Mr. Royden wants to let her escape.

At the same time, Jean was hiding by the side door of the car park. It was a security camera blindspot.

She was waiting for the security to change shift so that she could escape.

In actuality, she could have left much sooner, but she stayed behind to witness the directors panicking.

After around five minutes, two security guards entered the car park. Jean clapped her hands quietly
and knew now was her chance.

Suddenly, the car park exits opened at the same time.

She glanced around and noticed the surveillance cameras had all been turned off.

Jean furrowed her brow. Does this mean Edgar knows I’m here? He even let me escape.



However, Jean refused to accept Edgar’s charity. She turned around and planned to ride the elevator
upstairs and leave openly through the Royden Tower lobby.

However, she had just begun walking when a car stopped beside her.

The car’s window rolled down to reveal a cold and expressionless side profile. “Get in.”

Jean kept her cap on and refused to do as he said.

“They have likely called the police. Why aren’t you leaving? Are you planning to go back in for a cup of
tea?” Edgar glanced at Jean sternly.

Jean frowned and lowered her cap. “I don’t need your fake concern.”

“I was trying to hide from the reporters.”

Jean could see numerous reporters blocking the Royden Tower entrance even before exiting the car
park.

Jean closed the door and put on an indifferent expression. “I have no idea why the reporters are there.”

“You should know very well why they are here.”

Edgar drove the car out of Royden Tower when the reporters were not looking their way.

Should I know?

Jean considered for a while. Perhaps it is about Eyer Group.

Edgar braced opposition to transfer the company to me. Those greedy and annoying directors are
probably doing everything they can to cause him trouble.



Jean glanced at the window and said calmly, “You can tell them I threatened you with Andy’s reputation
and made you transfer the company to me. I wouldn’t have won that easily if Andy hadn’t worked with
Director Lewis to harm me.”

Edgar focused on the road ahead and did not say anything.

Jean saw that she could not elicit any response from him and decided to stop asking.

Judging from Edgar’s demeanor, he did not seem to know that Andy and Gigi were lovers. Jean looked
away from Edgar and anticipated the day he found out about this.

Soon, Edgar stopped the car before an apartment complex.

As Jean was about to open the door to get out, he asked, “Is this Ben’s house?”
