Chapter 183


    Chapter 183 I Won’t ept His Charity


    Jean walked into the freight elevator with a cap over her head and entered Royden Tower. No one


    came to stop her. Then, she nced around and saw a chubby man in the distance. He was bald at the


    top of his head. It’s him.


    Last night, at Edgar’s vi, she saw the same balding man. She had investigated theyout of Royden


    Group and knew the meeting room was on this floor. It meant there would likely be a director’s meeting,


    and the directors had gathered to challenge Edgar’s decision.


    Jean kept her head down and walked away. She identally noticed the pantry’s door left ajar and


    smirked. “Haha, what a lucky day for me.”


    …


    “Mr. Royden, someone infiltrated thepany.” Miles rushed to the office as soon as he received the


    report. “Speak.”


    Edgar frowned when he saw Miles hesitating.


    “Mr. Jameson and Mr. nc have been rushed to the hospital due to food poisoning. We checked the


    surveince record and found someone sneaking into the pantry before the meeting. The person


    changed the tea leaves for their tea.”


    Since the matter was caused by the negligence of the security department, Miles immediately assigned


    people to investigate.


    He soon received the oue of the investigation. However, due to the identity of the infiltrator, it was


    not his ce to decide the next course of action.


    Edgar’s eyes shed coldly as he asked, “Was it Jean?”


    Miles nodded. “Yes.”


    Edgar quickly read through the documents Miles gave him and frowned helplessly. “Send someone to


    check their conditions at the hospital. For now…”


    However, Mr. nc’s assistant knocked on the door urgently before Edgar could finish speaking.


    “Mr. Royden, Mr. nc has regained consciousness. He saw a suspicious person during the poisoning


    incident. It was your ex-wife, Jean.” The assistant did not dare to look at Edgar’s intimidating


    expression.


    At the same time, the assistant was still holding a phone and was in the midst of a call.


    Edgar knew who was on the other end without needing to ask.


    Thus, he put down his fountain pen and raised his hand.


    Before the assistant could react, Miles took his phone and gave it to Edgar.


    “Jason, you must tell Mr. Royden I have seen that woman. She is probably seeking revenge over the


    matters concerning Garrison Group! I won’t let this go. I must get to the bottom of this.”


    Mr. nc did not notice another person had taken the phone and continued to scold furiously.


    “How dare that b*tch think she can raise thepany again? I’ll kick her out of Yorktown.”


    “Mr. nc, are you done speaking?” Edgar’s voice was cold and intimidating.


    Mr. nc was stunned. “Mr. Royden?”N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    His arrogance and fury disappeared without a trace as he said, “Mr. Royden, you must help us. Mr.


    Jameson and I are old and frail. We can’t withstand such a ploy against us. Furthermore, food


    poisoning is a serious matter. The doctor said Mr. Jameson and I are in a precarious condition.”


    Is he telling me to stop investigating?


    Edgar turned around and looked at the city scenery outside. “Mr. nc, you sound energetic. I think


    you are fine.”


    “I… Ahem, I only sounded energetic because I was angry.”


    “You should recuperate in the hospital. You and Mr. Jameson don’t have to worry about other matters


    for now.” Edgar’s gaze was cold as ice.


    “Other matters?” Mr. nc was still stunned when Edgar hung up.


    Edgar tossed the phone and left his office.


    Meanwhile, Mr. nc’s assistant, Jason, was confused as he followed Miles and asked softly, “Miles,


    what did Mr. Royden mean?”


    Miles nced at Jason’s clueless expression and answered calmly, “What he meant was Mr. nc


    should recuperate in the hospital for a few more days. He doesn’t have to get involved in other


    matters.”


    “What other matters?” Jason blinked curiously.


    “Apart from staying in the hospital, he is not to show up for any matters.”


    For example, he must not say anything if reporters ask him questions.


    Furthermore, he should not get involved with the Garrison Group matter.


    In other words, Mr. nc and Mr. Jameson should shut up and mind their own business.


    Edgar entered the elevator and asked when Miles walked in, “Has she left?”


    “Probably not.” Miles sounded unsure.


    He could not understand why Jean did not escape immediately after what she did. Is she waiting for


    someone to catch her?


    Edgar pressed his tie knot and instructed, “Open all the exits in the car park and turn off the


    surveince cameras for now.”


    Miles nodded immediately.


    It seems Mr. Royden wants to let her escape.


    At the same time, Jean was hiding by the side door of the car park. It was a security camera blindspot.


    She was waiting for the security to change shift so that she could escape.


    In actuality, she could have left much sooner, but she stayed behind to witness the directors panicking.


    After around five minutes, two security guards entered the car park. Jean pped her hands quietly


    and knew now was her chance.


    Suddenly, the car park exits opened at the same time.


    She nced around and noticed the surveince cameras had all been turned off.


    Jean furrowed her brow. Does this mean Edgar knows I’m here? He even let me escape.


    However, Jean refused to ept Edgar’s charity. She turned around and nned to ride the elevator


    upstairs and leave openly through the Royden Tower lobby.


    However, she had just begun walking when a car stopped beside her.


    The car’s window rolled down to reveal a cold and expressionless side profile. “Get in.”


    Jean kept her cap on and refused to do as he said.


    “They have likely called the police. Why aren’t you leaving? Are you nning to go back in for a cup of


    tea?” Edgar nced at Jean sternly.


    Jean frowned and lowered her cap. “I don’t need your fake concern.”


    “I was trying to hide from the reporters.”


    Jean could see numerous reporters blocking the Royden Tower entrance even before exiting the car


    park.


    Jean closed the door and put on an indifferent expression. “I have no idea why the reporters are there.”


    “You should know very well why they are here.”


    Edgar drove the car out of Royden Tower when the reporters were not looking their way.


    Should I know?


    Jean considered for a while. Perhaps it is about Eyer Group.


    Edgar braced opposition to transfer thepany to me. Those greedy and annoying directors are


    probably doing everything they can to cause him trouble.


    Jean nced at the window and said calmly, “You can tell them I threatened you with Andy’s reputation


    and made you transfer thepany to me. I wouldn’t have won that easily if Andy hadn’t worked with


    Director Lewis to harm me.”


    Edgar focused on the road ahead and did not say anything.


    Jean saw that she could not elicit any response from him and decided to stop asking.


    Judging from Edgar’s demeanor, he did not seem to know that Andy and Gigi were lovers. Jean looked


    away from Edgar and anticipated the day he found out about this.


    Soon, Edgar stopped the car before an apartmentplex.


    As Jean was about to open the door to get out, he asked, “Is this Ben’s house?”
