Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 348 Unfathomable Thoughts

Jean left Royden Group. She received a call from Joey saying she wanted to talk to Jean privately. Jean agreed. Joey cried when Jean appeared. “Jean, can I ask a favor? Please don’t tell anyone I went to that club, okay?”

Joey pleaded in her puny voice and making Jean feel uneasy. “I won’t tell anyone. It’s your private life.” Jean responded calmly. Initially, she wanted Joey to let her tag along to the club. Jean hadn’t thought of blackmailing her at all.

Hearing Jean’s promise, Joey could finally breathe a sigh of relief. “Thank you. You’re a good person, just like your father.”

Joey said while wiping the tears away from her cheeks, “By the way, just let me know if you need any help in favor of the joint venture.”

Jean responded with a smile. Joey worked for Ranford International, and Jean had never thought of roping in her help. Joey told her a lot about the project, but Jean wasn’t paying attention.

“Let’s talk again next time.” Jean was exhausted. Her mind was fuzzy, and her eyes were heavy. All she wanted to do now was to go home. “Sure, I’ll get a cab for you then.”

Joey made sure Jean was driven away in the cab; then only she dared to call Serena. “I’ve met with Jean, but she was indifferent. Do you think she knows about our plan?”

Serena’s plan was to kick Eyer Group out of the joint venture so she could reap the profit alone. It was a joint contract signed by her and Jean with the exclusion of Royden Group in the legal contract.

All she needed was to catch Eyer Group’s Achilles heel and use it as lawsuit leverage over Eyer Group.

But Jean was way more vigilant than she expected.

“Let’s wait and see.”

Serena hung up the call and then looked at Sam sitting in front of her. She said with a smile, “Pardon, Mr. Reece. It’s a busy day for me. Let’s carry on with our discussion.”

…

Jean took a long nap when she got home. By the time she woke up, it was late in the evening and she only realized missed calls from Ben then.

She called back.

“Jeannie, we’ve got a problem. I’ll go to your house and tell you about it.”
