Chapter 497

Edgar regained his senses at the mention of a serious matter.

"Not yet."

He placed one hand on the counter.

The branded watch on his wrist was ticking.

"After all, he’s my only family member in this world.If I really go after him, I worry my father will blame
me’ ‘Family’ was a strange word to him.

Whenever he thought about this world, pieces of shattered memories would resurface in his mind,
suffocating him and tearing his wound.

That was the reason why he didn't go after Edbert all this while.

On the other hand, Edbert dared to be this reckless because he comprehended this weak spot of
Edgar's.

The atmosphere turned cold.

After quite a while, Nathan sighed.

"You ruined Pinnacle Group's plan this time; I reckon your uncle will not sit and await his doom.If he
continues cozying up to Pinnacle Group, you'll be in trouble once they join forces.The Rothschild family
is profit-minded, so they might switch sides at any time."

He interpreted the current situation rationally.



The three conglomerates were like a triangle, tying down each other.

Any changes in one party could cause turmoil in the entire situation.

"There will be a way."

Edgar looked down at his wine glass and mumbled.

After paying the bill, he stood up and said, "I'm going back first."

"Huh?"

Before Nathan could regain his composure, Edgar had already left.

Meanwhile, on the dance floor, a slender figure was staring straight at the two men.Her eyes were filled
with distress when she saw Edgar leave.

The day before the case was brought to court, the lawyer unexpectedly announced that Sam had a
sudden illness and needed to be admitted to the hospital.

After clearing all necessary procedures, the unconscious Sam was admitted to a private hospital that
had tight security controls.

The police department deployed forces to guard the ward and prohibited anyone from coming in
contact with Sam.

A lawyer who wore a pair of white gloves entered the ward with some documents in his hand.He drew
close to Sam's ear and whispered, "Mr.Royden sent me.

Sam opened his eyes slowly.

There was only him and the lawyer in the ward.



Sam flared up at once.

"What the h*ll are you guys dragging? Quickly get me out of here! Otherwise, I'll expose what
happened back then, and he'll be finished"

"Calm down, Mr.Reece.I have a document here for your perusal."

The lawyer passed the document to Sam, who was wearing a sulky look.

The moment he opened the file, a sharp needle was poked into his neck.

Following that, he had a dizzy spell and collapsed on the pillow.

He could hear the lawyer's last sentence before he completely lost consciousness.

"Mr.Royden said that your collaboration ends here.Only a dead person can keep a secret forever."

"No...

Sam wanted to struggle, but it was too late.

Joseph was attending a meeting in the police station when he received news from the hospital that
Sam's situation had deteriorated and was in a critical phase.

"I'm coming right away.Please keep him alive no matter what!"

The case finally had some new clues.

If the progress ceased here, it would be impossible to continue the investigation because no one would
want to waste energy on this old incident.

But alas, it was too late - Sam was announced dead by the doctor.



By law, Gigi was Sam's daughter and heir, so she was brought to the hospital by the police.

"Please sign here after checking Mr.Sam Reece's particulars and time of death"

Staring at the cold body, Gigi remained silent for a long moment.

Not only did the scenes of Sam beating her up resurface in her mind, but also the time spent in
Reece's residence when she was young.She once received the warmth of family from this man.

Tears welled up in Gigi’s eyes as she stepped forward and reached out her hand slowly to touch the
cold body.She closed her eyes and allowed the tears to flow down her cheeks.

Joseph was reporting the incident to his superior in the corridor.

When he saw Gigi walk out, he walked over instantly and said, "The truth is, Sam Reece was not
inflicted with any chronic illness.His health was normal before he was detained.How did this happen all
of a sudden?"

Gigi's calmness was accentuated all the more in comparison to Joseph's hasty tone.

"You shouldn't be asking me this."

Gigi lifted her eyes to look at Joseph with a rueful smile.

"I need some time alone.I believe I have the right to do so, Officer Bunnings."

It was a reasonable request, so Joseph had no choice but to send two female officers to keep an eye
on Gigi.

After going back to the car, he pondered about it and called Edgar.

"I believe you'll soon be aware of this incident even if I didn't inform you."



Just as Joseph expected, Sam's death soon spread like wildfire, which testified to his speculation — it
was not an accident.

Someone challenged the law and killed Sam under broad daylight.

Jean heard Edgar's conversation with Joseph, so she walked over and said, "I'll come along."

Edgar's eyes darkened.

After hesitating for a moment, he agreed.

Some things were unavoidable.

When they arrived at the hospital, Gigi was sitting in the corridor.

Jean walked over to see that she was still weeping.

"I don't want to see you guys.Can you leave?"

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"What has happened has happened.Please don't..."

Before Jean could place her hand on Gigi's shoulder, the latter shoved her hand away forcefully.

"Do you have to say such things?!"

Gigi shot a fierce glare at him.

"Indeed, he was a ruthless man and did many evil deeds, but he raised me since I was young.If it
wasn't because I was going to testify against him and you've obtained evidence, he might not have
died!"



Gigi's body was trembling while she yelled.

"Sure enough, he mistreated me, but he was once my only kin in this world!"

Jean's pupils dilated.She parted her lips, but the words were stuck in her throat.

Edgar was standing behind them from a distance.

If there was a need, he would dash forward immediately to protect Jean.

"You have everything now, and Edgar dotes on you so much.You could have nourished the fetus at
home while waiting to restore the marriage and marry into a wealthy family again.Why do you have to
cause things to turn out this way?!"

Gigi's eyes became bloodshot.

"You can't be happier if I die next.Am I right?!"

Jean was stunned.

As the police brought Gigi away, she couldn't utter a single word.

"Officer Bunnings said she has lost control of her emotions and needs counseling sessions.Please
don't take her words to heart"

Jean shook her head.

"What she said is true."

I was the one who insisted on ending things in this way.She turned to look at Edgar.

"If I didn't insist, you would have let Edbert have his own way, wouldn't you?"
