She Isn’t Kind
Jean glanced at him in a clearly disbelieving gaze. “I’ve met Nathan here before, but you’ve never been
here?” She didn’t believe him.
It was normal for the business world to have social niceties of drinking alcohol and singing together.
Some people would even have special habits.
Edgar could distinctly feel that she was looking at him differently. Coldness streaked across his brows.
“So, are you going to go in? Otherwise, let’s leave right now.”
“No.” Jean coughed. “Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. I was just asking casually.” She quickened
her steps after she said it. It was as if she didn’t feel the cold gaze of the man next to her.
The frown on the bridge of Edgar’s nose tightened. He should look for an opportunity to talk things over
with her. “Mr. Royden, please wait here for a moment. Ms. Campbell will be here shortly.”
Hearing it, Jean was very certain. The boss of the clubhouse was Serena. Whatever Joey had told
Jean was a lie. About knowing Jean’s dad and being filled with admiration.
Jean got angrier the more she thought about it. Once the door opened, she stared straight at Serena,
who walked in. She sneered. “You’ve hidden quite well, Ms. Campbell.”
But Serena smiled. “I was doing it for the sake of the company’s development. I hope you don’t mind,
Ms. Eyer. Come in.”
She directed it at the door, and Joey immediately dragged Julie in, who had gone missing.
Julie was wearing a miniskirt, showing off her figure, and she had exquisite makeup on.
Jean couldn’t understand it at all.
Serena smiled lightly. “It wasn’t easy for you to come all the way, Mr. Royden. You must try some of the
drinks here. Pour a drink for Mr. Royden.”
She directed the last sentence at Julie.
Julie bent her head and went to Edgar. She said shyly, “Here, Mr. Royden.”
Someone who just had food poisoning and was in the ICU wasn’t resting in the hospital. Instead, she
appeared at such a place to entertain guests.
Jean couldn’t hold back her rage.
She frowned and glared at Serena. “Ranford can just tell me if they don’t want to work with me. There’s
no need to resort to such tricks, is there?”
Such tricks were filthy.
Furthermore, Jean screened each and every employee that Eyer Group hired. Julie had a pretty good
résumé and a decent work ability. How could she have fallen into such a state in a few short months?
Serena acted like she didn’t understand.
“Ms. Eyer, you must be mistaken. We’re turning down the partnership with Eyer Group because of
problems with your company’s reputation. Eyer Group violated the contract first. According to the
contract, you should compensate Ranford two times the damages.”
Jean scoffed in a rage.
As it turns out, all the schemes were for the contract violation penalty.
She only had herself to blame. She had been preoccupied with plotting against that old geezer Sam
that she had forgotten about this.
But Jean quickly calmed down. She blinked. “What you’ve said makes sense, Ms. Campbell, it’s just
that…”
She dragged out her last word and suddenly looked at the man next to her on the couch. She moved
over. “This is my biggest creditor. If there’s anything, you can discuss it with him, Ms. Campbell. See if I
still have any money to compensate you.”
Edgar’s cold face stirred slightly.
Other than treating him as an entrance ticket, she was also using him as a shield.
Very good. This woman is getting smarter. She didn’t care about formalities as she made use of him.
Serena had previously heard of the dispute between Edgar and the Eyer family. She couldn’t help but
say, “I will look for a lawyer to bring it up with Eyer Group. You should plan ahead, Ms. Eyer, to avoid
looking bad when the time comes.”
Jean looked like she understood clearly.
“Is your hearing okay, Ms. Campbell? I said that my money had to be paid to Edgar. If you want money
from me, you can look for him.”
Jean got up after she said it.
“Two times the damages? Pfft. I will even give you ten times the amount if you can get the money from
him.”
She glanced at Julie after she said it.
Her eyes were filled with disappointment. “Your mom is at the hotel across from the hospital. I’ll get
Rachel to send you the room number. As for everything that has happened today, I won’t tell a single
person. You’re on your own.”
Julie hung her head as her tears fell like raindrops. She apologized softly, “I’m sorry, Ms. Eyer. I’m
really sorry.”
She didn’t want things to take such a turn. She was at a bar by chance a few months ago and woke up
in a hotel room. She had even been…
She had no way out of everything that had led up to that day.
And Serena had promised her that she would let her go as long as Eyer Group paid them the
compensation.
Jean walked to the elevator, and her chest was flooded with an unending rage.
This gimmick is so despicable!
But even if she scolded Julie, what could she do?
At the end of the day, Julie was just a pawn that had been used by others.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Edgar caught up with her with a cold face. “You
abandoned me so rudely after making use of me?”
“Haven’t you caught up anyway.”
Jean was feeling very annoyed. She turned her head to the side, not wanting to argue with him.
There was faint anger in Edgar’s ice-cold eyes. He warned her, “You’re not allowed to come to such a
place again in the future.”
“Mm.”
Jean answered him quickly.
“I think it’s dirty. I won’t come even if you begged me.”
She walked in front of Edgar.
Looking at her figure, there was a sliver of a smile on the man’s face. Just as he was following her out,
they were met with two people they didn’t really want to meet. Andy and Gigi.
This place didn’t entertain female clients, but Gigi strutted in through the main entrance.
Jean’s eyes narrowed. Did Andy or Sam have a partnership with Serena?
Gigi was being pulled by Andy as she walked in unwillingly.
As soon as she saw Edgar, she immediately turned into a different person. “Edgar!”
But Andy held on to her wrist tightly, and she couldn’t move. “What are you so happy about? Can’t you
see that he’s with Jean?”
Gigi looked at Jean enviously.
She immediately mocked her rudely, “Coming to such a place with a man. How shameless.”
Jean’s cold gaze swept past her. How did Gigi have the ability to question others when she was doing
the same thing?
“You were sent here by Sam while you were unconscious the last time. Haven’t you learned your
lesson? You can’t improve when you’re with someone like Andy.”
Jean didn’t want to look at Gigi anymore. She walked out.
Gigi’s eyes widened.
It was because Edgar was there. She could only bite the corners of her lips as she felt aggrieved.
She had already settled the proceedings with Edgar and had no relationship with him any longer, but
Gigi couldn’t let go. She still looked at Edgar tenderly.
Andy, who was next to her, couldn’t stand it.
He pinched her wrist. “Keep quiet.”
Gigi was in pain and flung his hand away in a rage. “I’ll leave then!”
She knew that she could no longer put on an act in front of Edgar. She walked inside huffily.
Andy put on a fake smile and blocked Edgar’s path. “Mr. Royden, it seems like you’re not settled with
her. Why don’t I help you out?”
