She made herself clear, almost as if she spelled Edgar''s name for him.Joseph sat down with a
frown.
"Ms.Eyer, I believe you came here because you believe I will continue the investigation privately.I''m
not dismissing the entire matter just because of the instructions I receive.I hope the criminals will be
caught by thew’ Jean replied coolly,
"Officer Bunnings, I visited Gigi today, and she told me a lot of details about Sam.We are sincere
about working together with you, but unexpectedly, you don''t even have the intention."
With that, she started walking outside.
Joseph paused briefly before running after her.
"You know better than anyone who is behind this.I can''t do anything about that."
Joseph clenched his fists.
"But he-"
"Thanks, but I need to rethink working with the police."
With a perfunctory smile, she left.
"Have I been yed by her?"
Joseph wondered to himself.She uses the new evidence she found as bait, luring me to tell her that
Edgar intercepted this case.
Late at night, the chandelier in the living room of Eyer Residence swayed due to the wind.
Jean was watching thetest news in the finance industry — Royden Group had just announced
that they would be working with Pinnacle Group, with Edbert as the main person in charge of the
uing project.
The project involved constructing a television tower in Bayview.
The partnerpany was Evergreen International, founded by Andy after leaving Royden Group.It
was obviously a trap.
The public would observe the situation for a while beforeing to a conclusion.
Some people decided to ride with the trend.
They couldn''t wait to work with major groups like Royden Group and Pinnacle Group.
No matter how Jean looked at it, it was just a decoy to her.
Just then, the doorbell rang.She walked over to open the door and found Ben in front of her with a
takeaway box.
"You haven''t eaten, have you?" Jean hummed in agreement, inviting him into her house.She sniffed
at the food aroma and shed a wide smile.
"It''s pizza from Mario''s ce."
"Wow, you have a good sense of smell!" Ben eximed as he brought the takeaway into her house.
"Perfect timing.I''ve been craving this; Jean replied with a smile.She didn''t have any appetite
moments ago but felt like eating now.After opening the box and getting the cutlery, both sat
comfortably in front of the coffee table.
The news was still airing on television.
"A few days ago, a gold mine was discovered to the west of Haymose Mountain Range, which
belongs to.."
"It must be a fortune to excavate gold mines" she muttered to herself as she looked at the
television.
Ben put a slice of pizza on her te.
With a smile, he asked, "Why? Are you interested?"
Jean''s visibility had been rtively hightely.
Even his friends wanted to have a glimpse at her, curious to see what the woman who ditched
Edgar and revived her family business looked like.
"I don''t have the capabilities to do so," she whined.
But Edgar does.
At that point, she had sufficient reasons to suspect that Edgar was plotting something, seeing how
he allowed Edbert to take over and how he stopped the police from further investigating the case.
He had been waiting for the perfect time to attack.
Would Edbert — that sly fox - take the bait? As she mulled it over, she felt slightly nauseous. She
quickly gulped down a ss of water to alleviate the uneasiness.
Then, Ben poured another ss of water for her.
"By the way, a few days ago, Sonny sent a mail to me, telling me that he''s going to lead a team to
join a racingpetition overseas, and he needs two racers. Are you interested?"
Jean was stunned to hear that.
"Of course I am, but I-"
I can''t take part in any vigorous activities now.
She was worried that she might injure the baby if she became too emotional.She cherished this
opportunity, so she didn''t want to take any risk.
"Forget it.I don''t think I can keep up with the new techniques."
With that, she went to the kitchen to prepare some fruits.
When she returned, Ben was on a call with Farra, who was ecstatic to know that Ben was with her.
"Ben, remember to keep herpany.You don''t have to worry abouting back.Just buy some
nice food and have a nice conversation with her.Get it?"
"Mom!" Ben chastised exasperatedly.
"Alright, alright.I''ll stop interrupting your time together"
With that, she hung up.Ben scratched his head as he tried to exin the situation to Jean.
"This is my Mom''s personally.Don''t take it seriously.I will let her know when the timing is right, There
was still some hope in his eyes, but it extinguished as soon as he saw Jean''s nonchnt smile.
She ced the fruits on the table and replied, "Don''t worry about it."
She didn''t say anything else, sounding like her usual self.
However, he felt slightly upset seeing her nonchnce.She really doesn''t care at all.
"I have some business to discuss with you." She took out a proposal she had prepared.
"Sam is ruined now, but I found a few childpanies under his rtives.
Apart from that, he also transferred a lot of money to his overseas bank."
"Are you nning to take all of that from him?"
He was shocked when he read the proposal.
"What an ambitious goal."
"But I''m not powerful enough, so I need to work with Ludwig Group"
Jean exined in a business-like tone.
"We can also try working with Oprah Group or Rothschild Group.From my research, Sam
transferred his money to the bank in the vicinity of Rothschild Group"
She was implying that as long as the bait was alluring enough, it was not difficult topletely
destroy Sam.
The further Ben read her proposal, the quieter he became.It was not just an illogical suggestion;
instead, it was very usible.
"We must also be careful about this.To avoid furtherplications, we need to make it seem like
another person is behind this"
"Who?" Ben frowned.
Could she be thinking of Edgar? "Edbert, the main person in charge of Royden Group now"
Jean replied calmly, looking at the television.
The host was interviewing Edbert, sitting on a couch with a warm smile as though he was a kind
grandfather.
Yet, many people had died at his hands.Ben immediately saw through the hatred in Jean''s eyes.
"Jean...
"I suspect Edbert took Gigi away from us and brought her to Sam years ago.He has been nning
this for more than two decades."

Jean clenched her fists tightly to keep her calm.Ben was still at a loss, trying to digest what she had
told him.
As the interview came to an end, he called his secretary.
"I need ne tickets for next week."
