Chapter 118
Chapter 118 Ten Million Is Not up for Discussion
Jean Eyer hadn’t fully awoken from her slumber. “There’s something wrong with my cellphone. I sent it
for repair.”
“Do you know about Mr. Wilton getting robbed? He got hurt and is in the hospital. We’re nning to go
see him together, do you want toe?”
“He got robbed? When did this happen!” Jean Eyer frowned. “In the middle of the night yesterday,
around twelve.”
It was around the time she left Edgar Royden’s vi and started walking home. Jean Eyer pondered
and said through gritted teeth, “Where should I meet you?”
She left the house after that. What she didn’t know was that five minutes after she left, the door of her
house was opened. “Move quickly. Don’t leave any trace behind.”
“Yes!” Twenty minutester, she reached the city hospital. Jean Eyer met up with Sally Lance and
Ken Lincoln at the entrance. Jean Eyer’s brows tightened when she heard Sally Lance tell her what
happened.
After the photoshoot that day, Sky Wilton was fine.
He reached the office safe and sound and didn’t tell a single person about what happened in the car
between him and Jean Eyer. Butst night, he was suddenly robbed. It was a police officer on duty
nearby that sent him to the hospital.
“I heard it wasn’t amon robbery. Mr. Wilton only lost his watch that was worth a couple hundred
thousand,” said Ken Lincoln. “but the robber didn’t take any cash in his car.”
“Since Mr. Wilton was robbed, there’s no way he can participate in the big VK show this weekend.”
“It couldn’t be that someone from a rivalpany set this up on purpose?”
Their imagination went wild, and the worse their spections got.
As for Jean Eyer, she had never been so clear-headed.
The day she escaped from Sky Wilton’s car, it was Edgar Royden who took her away. He must’ve
known what happened. Sky Wilton was targetedst night and found by the police, but they couldn’t
find any clues.
It meant that the person behind this robbery was not only well-concealed but also very powerful.
There was a very high possibility of it being Edgar Royden!
But Jean Eyer didn’t understand. Why did he do this? Was it to help her get back at him?
She went into the hospital room with them in the face of confusion. Zoe Hadly and Anna Sue were
there as well.
“Mr. Wilton, please take care of yourself.” As soon as Sally Lance looked up, she saw the gauze on Sky
Wilton’s head wrapped up as tightly as a beehive and antiseptic applied on his eyes. She was
dangerously close toughing out loud.
Ken Lincoln coughed and tried to smooth things over. “Mr. Wilton, I hope you get well soon.”
Sky Wilton nced over. His body was so badly beaten up he could barely move. His gaze fell on Jean
Eyer, the meaning behind it unclear.
Zoe Hadly said, “Mr. Wilton needs to rest. You should go home.”
“Alright, we’ll leave.” Ken Lincoln pulled Sally Lance along.
Sally Lance looked down to keep herself fromughing.
“Jean Eyer, hold on. I need to talk to you.”
Jean Eyer’s footsteps paused. She saw Zoe Hadly pulling Anna Sue out before locking the hospital
room door.
“I never thought that you were so capable.” This came from Sky Wilton.
But his voice no longer sounded as nice as it used to. In contrast, it felt a little colder and huskier.
Jean Eyer moved the corner of her lips. “Mr. Wilton, I think you’ve misunderstood. I am powerless now,
what do you mean capable?”
“You…” Sky Wilton ground his teeth in anger.
Zoe Hadly went over to hold on to him. She said in a low voice, “Let me say it.”
She patted Sky Wilton’s back before he slowly calmed down.
“Mr. Wilton getting robbed was only a pretense. In actuality, it was a one-sided assault. The person who
beat him up was sent by Edgar Royden. You should know about this, Jean Eyer!”
Jean Eyer shook her head. “I don’t know anything.”
She would be imagining things if she really didn’t know anything.
Zoe Hadly sighed. “Since it’se down to this, you don’t have to pretend any longer. Mr. Wilton has
been looking for you these two days to speak with you. What happened in the car that day wasn’t his
intention. You must’ve misunderstood.”
A misunderstanding?
Jean Eyer took a breath in.
If that situation was a misunderstanding, then murderers didn’t need to be held legally responsible.
She came to a conclusion quickly.
Zoe Hadly knew what kind of person Sky Wilton was, and she knew what was inside the memory card.
Maybe Zoe Hadly was one of the leadingdies in those recorded audio clips.

Jean Eyer frowned. She couldn’t understand why.
Zoe Hadly was young, pretty, andpetent. Why did she have to mix around with someone like Sky
Wilton?
“Give us the memory card then you cane up with a condition of your own.” Zoe Hadly had a firm
attitude. Seeing that Jean Eyer wasn’t saying anything, she added on. “If this gets any bigger, your
reputation will be affected too, and for what?”
Sky Wilton had been lying on the hospital bed through all this.
Only his eyes were filled with anger, like he wanted to murder Jean Eyer.
Jean Eyer pulled a chair in the room over. She sat down and looked at both of them. She chuckled, “Do
you think someone like me cares about that? A condition of mine? Ten million.”
“That’s too much.” It was like Zoe Hadly knew what Jean Eyer would say.
“Not up for discussion.” Jean Eyer got up and left.
Zoe Hadly let out a sigh and squeezed Sky Wilton’s shoulder. “I’ll go after her. You rest.”
“Of course, you must make her agree.” Sky Wilton was furious.
He looked for Jean Eyer for two days, but it was as if she had vanished without a trace.
Then he was attacked yesterday night, this must’ve been the doing of Edgar Royden! Sky Wilton
cursed silently. How could he have been so careless to let Jean Eyer escape?
What was inside the memory card could not be made public under any circumstance. Otherwise, his
life was over.
Zoe Hadly thought it would be hard to catch up to Jean Eyer, only to see her stopped at the vending
machine at the end of the corridor.
Jean Eyer bought a drink and was waiting for her.
“You’re one of the victims, right?” Jean Eyer said quietly.
Zoe Hadly’s body went stiff. She stared at Jean Eyer with trembling lips. “It’s none of your business.
You have no use holding on to the card. Return the card to me. I can get you a reasonable price for it.”
Jean Eyer took a deep breath in. “Even ten million couldn’t buy your innocence?”
Zoe Hadly was dumbstruck.
“I never thought of revealing what’s inside. I never looked at it either.” Jean Eyer wrinkled her brow and
looked straight at Zoe Hadly. “Everyone has the right to make choices. I respect your thinking, but I
need to protect myself.”
It had nothing to do with her what type of rtionship Zoe Hadly and Sky Wilton had.
Jean Eyer held her cup and walked around Zoe Hadly.
At the hospital entrance, she saw that Sally Lance and Ken Lincoln were surrounded by some
paparazzi.
Jean Eyer walked over. “We’re new in MON & Co., so there’s no use interviewing us.”
After saying this, she pulled Sally Lance away, and Ken Lincoln rushed to join them.
On the other end, at the parking lot, Anna Sue filmed the scene with her cellphone and sent it to Gigi
Reece’s agent. “Ms. Linda, I noticed that Jean Eyer might have a problem with the lead designer in our
company…”
Sally Lance saw that something was off about Jean Eyer’s expression. She asked tentatively, “Did Mr.
Wilton make things difficult for you just now?”
Jean Eyer shook her head.
Three of them sat in a row next to a fountain.
Ken Lincoln sat on the other side of Sally Lance and nudged her. “Go on, I’ll get you both something
to eat.”
Sally Lance said, “Mm.” After he left, Sally Lance leaned over and said, “Do you think that the
rtionship between Zoe Hadly and Sky Wilton seems unusual? The wholepany has been
gossiping about them.”
