Fast and Furious
Jean was left alone in the room after Edgar received a call and left. He didn’t tell Jean where he was
heading, too, so Jean didn’t bother to ask either. The sunset outside the window was beautiful. Rays of
sunlight shone through the window and fell on the floor.
Jean tried her best to adjust her emotions and took her phone to see a few messages from Ben. ‘The
Reece family is completely finished. Edgar is very fast. Within a few hours, Reece Group’s
collaborating partners terminated their contracts all at once. Sam’s funding chain must be destroyed.’
‘Even if that old fox asks help from his friends in the business circle, he will still have to pay a heavy
price. Moreover, the banks have blacklisted Reece Group during this period, so it’s almost impossible
for him to make a comeback in the future.’
‘Andy is still in a coma in the hospital, and Edgar has sent his men to guard Gigi.’ Indeed, Edgar was
quick in action – he almost gauged everyone’s movement correctly and rooted out his opponents
without any mistakes.
Jean lowered her head and saw the phone screen go black. It must have been hard for Edgar to take
these moves despite his resoluteness. However… he misjudged one person – his uncle, Edbert
Royden.
From what Edbert said when he went to visit Jean and the fact that he was aware of Gigi’s relation with
the Eyer family, Jean could conclude that Edbert was not as simple as he seemed. Nonetheless, she
wasn’t certain if Edgar suspected his uncle.
After all, Edbert was Edgar’s only family member in this world, just like the meaning of Gigi’s existence
to her. So, she was well aware of the struggle and hesitation that Edgar might face.
Putting that aside, she was confused why Edgar brought her here.
If he merely came for a vacation, Jean was not in the mood to entertain him.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Surprised, Jean walked over and asked, “Who is it?”
“Hi miss, room service.”
A server presented a seafood feast in front of Jean and said, “Please enjoy.”
Looking at the scrumptious food, Jean stroked her flat tummy. “I have to eat anyway.”
Many problems did not have immediate solutions, and it wouldn’t help even if she was starved to death
here. She had to stay energized to wait for the upcoming show. More importantly, she wanted to rescue
Gigi from Edgar.
At that moment, Edgar had grasped her thoughts and intention, but she didn’t have a trump card that
could threaten Edgar, so she was at a disadvantage. Besides, she was currently overseas and
penniless.
After eating, Jean headed out on her own and wandered around the hotel. It was a magnificent hotel
with extravagant furnishings.
From the style of the hotel, Jean reckoned that the owner was an upstart. She turned aside and studied
a painting on the wall. Suddenly, she caught sight of two figures who were sitting not far away from her
– Edgar was meeting someone in the coffee house.
Jean stood still and curled her lips. This is my chance!
She knew Edgar wouldn’t take unnecessary moves; he must have some agendas that needed him to
fly here especially. If she could seize an opportunity, her plight could be solved.
“Mr. Royden, I’m glad we got to meet and talk. I believe the collaboration between our companies will
be a pleasant one.” The person whom Edgar was meeting was a mature-looking female president in
her thirties. She raised her glass elegantly and proposed a toast.
From afar, Jean could see that Edgar accepted the toast, and it seemed to be a harmonious
conversation.
Despite knowing that this was just a business meeting, Jean was slightly dispirited when she averted
her gaze. Her relationship with Edgar and the entanglement in the past had become everything in her
life, but that was not the case for Edgar.
He deemed his revenge was finished. After all, the Eyer family didn’t exist anymore. His feelings toward
Jean were nothing more than slight contrition after his savage revenge plan.
Jean tapped her fingers on the wall and left.
When Edgar returned to the room after the meeting ended, he saw Jean sitting on the couch, scrolling
through her phone.
He walked up to him and asked, “Have you eaten?”
Jean ignored him.
“I booked tickets for a musical concert tomorrow. Would you like to …”
The moment he passed the tickets to Jean, the latter hit them off from his hand.
Edgar’s expression turned sullen. I know she’s not in a good mood, so I took some time off to take her
for a vacation, but this hot-tempered woman wouldn’t appreciate it at all.
Edgar heaved a sigh but was not irritated.
“If you’re tired, we can go another day.”
Jean lifted her dark eyes and sneered, “You brought me all the way here just to watch a musical
concert?” Her tone was tinged with disdain.
Placing one hand on the wine rack, Edgar was tired of arguing with Jean when he perceived her
sarcastic tone. “I don’t want you to stay in Yorktown to face those matters.”
Jean laughed insouciantly. “I’m sorry, but I’m not as broad-minded as you and can calculate everything
accurately at the same time. You’re great at strategizing and can be heartless.”
Including me. I’m just part of his plan, nothing more. I know he’s gentle toward me, but what’s hidden
behind his gentleness?
After all that had happened, Jean was no longer the innocent girl who fell for him at first sight.
Edgar wore a cold expression. “Jean, why do you have to be so mean?” Why can’t you see my care for
you?
“If you want me to stop, send me back.” Jean put down the newspaper she was holding and blurted
coldly.
In fact, she planned to leave today, but the security guards stopped her the moment she stepped out of
the lobby. Without a doubt, she knew it must be Edgar’s instruction.
“You’re not going back yet.” Edgar rejected her request unhesitantly. “Two days later, I’ll go back with
you in the morning.”
Jean snorted and went straight into the bathroom. Her response made Edgar fluster as he wondered
what was wrong with her again.
Jean opened the tap and took a bath. After coming out of the bathroom, she was surprised to see
Edgar still in the room.
“Get out of here.” She uttered solemnly.
I can’t stay in the same room as him lest he schemes against me!
Edgar stood up as his patience was almost depleted. He had been exhausted lately and couldn’t bother
to argue with Jean. So, he decided to give space for both of them to calm down while waiting for news
from Yorktown.
As soon as Edgar left, Jean took out her phone immediately and browsed news in Yorktown via a VPN.
Sure enough, Edgar was fast and furious. Within one day, he acquired all subsidiaries of Reece Group
and became the second largest shareholder in Reece Group after Sam.
His move was even faster than when he tackled the Eyer family.
