Chapter 291 Tear

“I’d suggest you go visit Ms. Reece in the hospital if you have the time. It’ll give her some peace of mind and help with the delivery. Rather than doing something that would upset Mr. Royden.”

He had finished what he came to say. Sam called for Winnie after Miles had left. “Reading between the lines, has Gigi done something to upset Edgar recently?”

He had already decided to ‘sell’ his daughter to Edgar. Gigi’s feelings were the last thing on his mind. Right now, he was more focused on how he was going to change Edgar’s mind.

“Say something! Royden Group may have lost the auction, but Edgar is not the type to let this hold him down for long. He will bounce back without any issues. When the time comes, I’ll need to take advantage of Royden Group. Nothing can go wrong.”

The longer he spoke, the more conflicted Winnie felt.

She refused to speak for a while but finally broke after Sam continued to prod her. “Gigi wanted to speed up the marriage process. Edgar probably felt that she was being too pushy.”

This was the plan Gigi had thought up with her friends.

In Sam’s opinion, she had no one to blame but herself.

“I need you to go check on Gigi every day from today onwards until she delivers the baby. Should anything go wrong, consider yourself fired.”

Before Winnie could respond, Sam had left and gone upstairs.

She stood unmoving in the living room. Winnie took a deep breath and sneered, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Both father and daughter use me as an outlet for their anger! Don’t even dream about going up against Jean and Edgar.”

Based on how Gigi returned unsuccessful the other day, Winnie knew that Jean must have received her news.

After hesitating a little, she called Jean.

But it went unanswered.

Did Jean know that she was the one who tipped her off?

Winnie frowned and went back to her room.

Jean slept all night and well into the next day.

She found her entire body to be sore when she woke up.

“You’re awake!” The nurse exclaimed happily. “Let me get the doctor.”

Jean looked around. She was the only one in the room.
