Chapter 442

Jean glanced at the caller ID and instinctively furrowed before answering the call.

Sherry asked Jean with feigned worry and care, "Jean, are you alright? I heard that the police have
been looking for you and Gigi.Are you all okay?"

"I don't know.She's still missing." Jean said with a deadpan voice as she peered out of the window.

The sun was exceptionally glaring today.

"How come? Did you not get on that boat?" Sherry pried.

Jean sneered in her heart and said impassively, "I did.The boat almost foundered from hitting the
rocks.I was fortunate enough to be saved by a kind-hearted person; else, I would've died."

Sherry clenched her fists as Jean recounted her near- fatal accident.She knew the plan must have
flopped; otherwise, it would be impossible for Jean to be still alive.Her eyes turned cold, and she
professed subtly, "Thank God you're fine.Otherwise, I'll live the rest of my life in condemnation"

She picked up the invitation card from the table and said slowly, "Are you free tonight? My dad will hold
a private reception for Edgar and me.I hope you will come.I have also invited Mr.Mason."

Her motive was too obvious to overlook.

Jean had just survived a near-fatal accident and had no interest in social events.

"You should know that I've been in the news lately...Thank God the incident has been resolved.I hope
you will come to this reception.I have a lot of things to tell you in person."

They were not close friends, to begin with.Jean balled her fists.



What else can be done to resolve this matter? Nothing else can be done to restore Sherry and
Pinnacle Group's reputation except with Edgar's help.

They couldn't afford to lose him as an ally.Her intention for calling Jean was to show off.

Sherry was unequivocally vicious to Jean, who had just been through a series of ordeals.

"Sure, I'll be there on time."

Jean hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

Jean quickly hung up the phone lest she couldn't hold herself from confronting Sherry.

Meanwhile, seeing that Sherry had put down her phone, Mrs.Summer immediately asked, "How is it?
Did she suspect you?!"

"Unlikely"

Sherry tried to recall Jean's tone, "She just sounded weary and didn't seem like she had found out
about anything.And she hadn't seen Gigi"

"Really?"

Mrs.Summer still felt unsettled.

"Mommy, the drivers are criminals who would do anything for money.They won't give us away.She was
lucky enough to escape death.Otherwise, how is she going to find Gigi? She couldn't even look after
herself.

Sherry deduced, "She's seeing me as her friend and won't doubt me for the time being"

Mrs.Summer bobbed her head doubtfully.



"Anyway, for the way things are now, we can only be wise and avoid mistakes.Tonight, you must do
your best and salvage the Summer family's reputation."

Sherry was still beneficial to Summer's family.Sherry chuckled, "I know.My dress should have arrived.I'll
go and try it on’ She strutted out of Mrs.Summer's room as she spoke.As soon as the door was closed,
the smile on her face was replaced by contempt.

"Who cares that she's still alive! Edgar has consented to our relationship, and I'll be Mrs.Royden soon"

Sherry was confident that nothing could stop her from achieving her plan.

As for Gigi...she probably had died.

All the evidence had vanished along with Gigi.

Gradually, Sherry felt more at ease.She swirled into her room gleefully, "Bring my dress over now,
jewelry as well.I want to wear the biggest and most fabulous diamond necklace in town."

Tonight, I would outshine the other women at the reception.

In the evening.

Hugo's driver arrived at Eyer's Residence on the dot.

Hugo looked out of the car window and saw a beautiful silhouette walking down the steps.

Jean looked absolutely captivating in just a simple purple dress.Her light makeup accentuated her
beauty and grace.He agreed that the woman in front of him personified ethereal beauty.

"Thank you for coming to pick me up, Mr.Mason."

Jean got into the car and expressed her gratitude.



The temperature of the air conditioning in the car was perfect.Her eyes glimmered with emotions as
she gazed at the sunset through the window.

Hugo looked at her side profile and could sense a nuance of resentment in her.

"Today, you..."

Actually, he thought that she would turn down the reception invitation because of Edgar.He was happy
and worried when he saw Jean come out of her house looking dolled up for the occasion.

After all, it was sadistic for a woman to witness her ex- husband marry another woman.

Hugo was worried that Jean would sabotage the reception at the very last minute.

Based on his understanding of Jean, he knew she wouldn't hesitate to do something like that.

"I'm here if you need my help."

He elaborated again after initiating help, "After all, you have helped me before, and I wish to return your
favor."However, he was immediately appalled by guilt and conscience for saying that.

"Don't worry.I don’t plan to crash their reception."

Jean twitched her lips, "Sherry is my friend.I won't let her down.They have my heartfelt blessing for
their union."

She meant it.

The car cruised on the road at the twilight of dusk.

"Mr.Mason, how is Ellie doing?" Jean asked suddenly.



"She's been a good girl.Though every now and then, she would ask when you will be free to play with
her again."

Hugo sneaked a peek at Jean as he said the last sentence.He secretly wished for a miracle between
him and Jean.

"I doubt that.I'm a little busy lately."

Jean pouted and said lightly.

Hugo creased his forehead and kept quiet.The car stopped at the red traffic light.

Jean paused and said, "Tonight's reception is hosted by Bernard Summer, the president of Pinnacle
Group.The media should be there as well.After all, Pinnacle Group is a reputable organization in the
finance and commerce sector.I wonder if Pinnacle Group has any competitors?"

Sherry's plan was to subjugate the Pinnacle Group as her own.

Jean had an idea to leverage Sherry's desire to her benefit.

Hugo understood Jean's notion, "This...All organizations ought to be impacted by one another.It's
impossible to say which company has a leg-up against the Pinnacle Group.Several organizations yield
the power to take on the Summer family.Their representatives would likely show up at tonight's
reception."

"Royden Group is one of them’

Suddenly, Jean turned around and looked at him.She beamed a faint smile, and her eyes glistened
with acuity.Her charm dazed Hugo.

Subsequently, he asked, "What are you going to do?"
