Chapter 145


    Chapter 145 Trapped Gigi''s gaze faltered. In fact, she was so nervous that her heartbeat sped up involuntarily.


    "Of course I do, Edgar!" She shed her most beautiful smile at him and refused to let go of his hand. "Let''s go back first. We can talk it through once we are home."


    Nevertheless, he did not want to be too close to her. Both of them left the hospital with one of them walking ahead.


    Meanwhile, Jean walked out from behind them and looked back at the gynecology department behind her. "Tsk, tsk..."


    This is a wonderful opportunity from them; of course I won''t waste it! Thinking about the conversation she overheard in Gigi''s car, she was positive that Gigi has been seeing another man apart from Edgar.


    She immediately contacted a few paparazzi and told them everything she heard.


    Of course, they realized that it was a huge piece of scandal in no time. "Are you sure? You have to tell me who you are. If your news is inurate, we won''t pay you themission!"


    "Of course it''s going to be urate." Jean smiled. "I''m Jean Eyer."


    She waspletely unafraid of revealing her identity.


    As soon as they heard that, they were visibly stunned. "Edgar''s ex-wife?"


    However, before they could ask about the details, she already hung up the call.


    Good one. These rich people have really messy personal lives! The ex-wife is now reporting on her husband''s current fling.


    ''On this afternoon, because of theplications in Gigi''s pregnancy, Edgar took a break from work to apany her. Both of them were glued to each other, flirting with each other even at public ces like the hospital lobby.''


    Looking at thetest celebrity news on her phone, Jean thought, Nowadays the paparazzi can write really well. I even feel as though I''m there, witnessing how Gigi would seduce Edgar with her beautiful appearance. Yet, he still asks if he stands a chance with me? Hmph! What a jerk who courts several women at the same time!


    At the very same moment, Edgar mmed his fists on the table. "Ask the public rtions department to settle this immediately."


    Miles lowered his head. "I already did, but it seems that Ms. Reece is deliberately spreading these rumors."


    In that case, this is going to be more difficult. I can''t deny this while she''s actively spreading such news. If it bes viral, this will affect the progress of our next two projects, and that''s thest thing I want to see.


    He raised his hand to look at his watch. "In five hours, if this still can''t be suppressed, fire everyone in the public rtions department." There''s no ce for useless people in mypany.


    "Yes, Mr. Royden!"


    Soon, the news reached MON & Co..


    When Monica, Sky, and a few other people were having lunch at a restaurant, they overheard other employees discussing the news - how Jean''s ex-husband, Edgar, discussed explicit content at the hospital with his current partner.


    "Heh." It was only recently that Sky was discharged from the hospital, and he had also been keeping tabs on the racingpetition. In other words, he was interested in the direction the Royden Group had been taking.


    Now that he heard such gossip, he chuckled coldly. "Jean is actually pretty impressive. Without any effort, she made Edgar the topic of everyone''s small talk."


    Monica lifted her head and shot him a nce. Vaguely seeing his scars, she replied, "I''ve already warned you not to cross Jean, but you never believed me."


    Sky gritted his teeth after hearing that. He loved challenges, so the more she asked him to stay away from Jean, the more he wanted to provoke her.


    "Just an advice to you - she has something that could ruin your reputation. You''d better tread carefully," Monica said coldly, shooting him a disdainful nce.


    Sky froze for a moment before leaving angrily.


    Next to him, Zoe''s face darkened. "Ms. Weller, did Jean tell you something?"


    She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth.


    I didn''t expect that Jean didn''t keep her promises! How despicable! Monica ced her cutlery on the table and wiped her mouth gently. "As a fellow woman, I feel obligated to tell you this - don''t be so naive! Is that man worth all your effort?"


    Zoe was stunned after hearing that, and she did not speak for quite some time.


    In the end, she was thest to leave the restaurant. She walked upstairs in a daze, but just as she was about to walk into the room, someone pulled her inside. In the next second, her backnded harshly on the floor.


    Then, the man started to strip off her clothes.


    She merely froze momentarily before heaving an exasperated sigh. "We can''t do this. I''m not feeling well over the past few days."N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    However, the man ignored her, as though he had gonepletely berserk, venting his anger that umted from the restaurant just now on her. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org When he finally stopped, the office was in a huge mess. Zoe fumbled to get up from the ground with bruises all over her body.


    "Must you do this?" Sadness flooded her thoughts.


    Then, he sat on the couch with a cruel expression on his face. Grabbing her chin harshly, he ordered, "Ask Jean to your apartment tonight. If you can''t do that, I''ll expose those videos to the public."


    Zoe''s eyes widened upon hearing that.


    "No!" Those videos can never be seen by anyone!


    She crawled to him on all fours. "Don''t be rash. I-I-I''ll ask Jean immediately."


    Sky smiled at her coldly and stepped his feet on her head, as though she was his emotionless ve. "That''s more like it."


    Hence, Zoe sent a message to Jean to arrange for a discussion regarding the designpetition in the next season. Not long after that, Jean replied, ''Sure."


    Zoe closed her eyes slowly and thought, You asked for this, Jean. Why are you so beautiful and elegant? Sky has his eyes on you, but you are the only one who escaped. So, let''s visit hell together!


    At 7PM that day, Jean arrived at Zoe''s ce based on the address she was given. As soon as she entered, she smelled the aroma of food.


    Wearing an apron, Zoe walked out of the kitchen. "Take a seat. Food''s almost ready," she announced with a bright look in her eyes, looking very different from her independent image at the office.


    In that instant, even Jean was slightly dazed by her. "You cooked all these?"


    "Yeah, but it''s just some normal aluself home cooking; nothing too special. Do make yourself at home. I also invited Sally and Ken.


    Jean mulled it over, thinking that something was off.


    With a smile, Zoe poured a ss of champagne for her. "Let''s not have wine tonight."


    It''s been a while since she joined MON & Co., but she has never been close with the other interns. Why would she suddenly invite me and Sally over for a meal?


    Looking at the champagne ss that Zoe just passed, Jean smiled. "I''m going to the restroom first."


    "Sure. It''s right there," Zoe said warmly, bringing her to the door of the restroom directly. Don''t hesitate to call me if you need anything else.


    I''ll check on my soup in the kitchen first."


    "Sure."


    After closing the door, she wanted to call Sally to cross-check with her, but there were no signals in Zoe''s house.


    She could not get any signals for calling or for using the inte. Which means I''m trapped in this house with Zoe.


    At this moment, Zoe knocked on the door.


    "Are you alright, Jean? Are you feeling unwell?"


    "I''m fine, thanks," Jean quickly replied.


    With a frown on her face, she turned on the tap and brainstormed for ways to get out of this ce.
