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.”

Although Gigi hated Edgar, his indifference toward her made her desire him even more.

She walked a few steps and paused before Jean, looking at her with a charming smile.



Then, she said in a light-hearted tone, “Why did you ask? Since I’m your younger sister, can you let me
have him?”

Jean’s expression darkened.

“If you truly love him, you should strive for him and not resort to shameful tricks.”

As soon as Jean said that, Gigi’s expression turned sarcastic and disdainful. “You have everything now,
so it is easy for you to say this. You have no right to scold me!”

Jean’s gaze flickered.

“True. I have no right to scold you. That’s why I never told you that I’m your sister.”

She turned around, pressed the door handle, and said calmly, “I cannot accept what the Reece family
taught you. However, I also have no right to decide how you should live. Remember this. From now on,
we shall each go our own way and have nothing to do with each other.”

Then, Jean closed the door and found herself in a completely different situation.

The reporters immediately came forward and surrounded her.

“Ms. Eyer, can you tell us what happened last night? Why did Gigi faint?”

“What is the situation between the three of you?”

The reporters were aggressive. Jean tried her best to escape them, but they surrounded her even more
tightly.

“Ms. Eyer, between you and Ms. Reece, who is the mistress?”



Jean frowned helplessly. The reporters kept coming closer whenever she tried to hide. Furthermore,
one of the reporters’ microphones bumped hard against Jean’s head.

‘Clang!’ The microphone fell to the floor.

Jean hissed in pain and retreated a few steps.

“Step aside.”

Things were getting out of control. A few bodyguards dressed in black rushed over to protect Jean and
got her into an elevator. Once they brought her to the car park, she saw a man seated in a car.

“Get in.”

Jean wanted to refuse.

“If you wait any longer, the reporters will catch up with you.” Edgar looked at her with a chilling gaze.

He did not come here for Gigi’s sake.

Jean clenched her teeth and pulled open the car door.

Soon, the car sped out and disappeared from the bodyguard’s sight.

Miles glanced at the time and said, “Guard Gigi’s room. Make sure no reporters approach her.”

“Understood.”

Then, he contacted Royden Group’s PR department. Within a few minutes, all news about Gigi fainting
in Edgar’s house disappeared without a trace. It was as if the incident had never happened.

Then, everyone in Royden Group received an order from their president.



No employees were allowed to be interviewed by the media. Furthermore, they were not allowed to
reveal Edgar’s recent whereabouts.

The worsening situation was finally brought under control within a few hours.

Edbert was sipping tea in a restaurant when he received the news.

“Mr. Edbert…”

His assistant came to his side and urgently reported the matter to him.
