Chapter 455

When Edbert left Majestic Hotel, Bernard looked at the leaving car greedily.

"Hmph! Who does Edgar think he is? He's delusional to compete with us."

Sherry sat beside him quietly with a deep frown on her face.

"Dad, do you believe Edbert's words? If he really had the capabilities to take over the company from Edgar, he would have done it long ago."

Her words jolted Bernard to his senses.

Thinking back to their conversation moments ago, he snorted.

"Perhaps the right opportunities hasn't come his way"

"Precisely.Sherry, you should learn some business tactics from your father.Oh, and don't forget to make friends with Charles."

Sherry stood up obediently.

"Got it, Mommy.I'll think of some ways."

As soon as she walked out of the door, her obedience was replaced with hatred.She dialed Andy's number.

"You're right - ['m like a replica of Gigi to Edbert, but I won't allow him to use me for nothing.I'll help you"

Biting her lips harshly, she entered her room.

That afternoon, Jean finally opened her eyes in bed.

Upon sensing the white surroundings and the weakness within her, she frowned.

The smell of disinfectant was thick in the air.

A transparent liquid from an intravenous drip entered her body droplet by droplet.She tried to prop herself up with her arms to sit up, but she heard some noise at the door.She listened carefully and closed her eyes as she lay back in bed.

The sound of approaching footsteps was from a pair of high heels — not leather shoes.

Who is it? Doctors or nurses don't usually wear those kind of shoes.

"I don't understand what they like about you.You're not that pretty — wait, are you awake?" Sara yelped.

Her accent sounded similar to Charles’.
