    Chapter 276 Unexpected urrence


    It was natural for Gary to not want his daughter to be aware of Joey’s existence, but the family maids


    might have noticed something.


    Brigid froze for a brief moment before shaking her head. “His priority has always been you; it’s Winnie


    who kept pestering him, and he never truly liked her.”


    From what she could tell, his love for Jean surpassed any father in the world. She was his most


    precious treasure.


    However, after hearing her question, Brigid suddenly remembered something.


    “One night, though, he was feeling unwell, and a beautiful young woman sent him back. Yeah, that


    happened once,” Brigid said, trying hard to recall the past.


    “Do you remember what she looked like?” Jean asked.


    “It’s been so long. I can’t really remember the details. I only remember having the impression that she’s


    breath-taking.” Brigid shook her head helplessly.

    Jeanughed when she saw her thinking hard. “Brigid, there are many beautiful women in the world. It


    can’t be–”


    Suddenly, a distant memory flooded her mind.


    She was very young, and was ying hide and seek with her father, when he told her, “Don’t grow up


    to be an extremely beautifuldy, Jeannie. It’s enough to be as kind and loving as your mom.”


    Right in front of her, Brigid also sank into a vortex of memories.


    “Your mother was such a beautiful and kind woman. She’s worth being held closely by Mr. Eyer in his


    entire lifetime.”


    That’s right. The woman he cared about the most was my mom. Perhaps, that’s the answer to the


    puzzle he left.


    The more she thought about it, the higher the possibility. The next morning, she went to Royden Group


    as soon as she woke up, because she had lost track of the jade bangle and wanted to get it back.


    However, she did not get to meet Edgar. Instead, she heard from the employees that he was injured, so


    had stayed at home.


    “Jean?”


    Coincidentally, Nathan saw her as soon as he walked out of the elevator.


    “Hi.” She nodded at him as a form of greeting before walking out hurriedly.


    Nevertheless, he quickly chased up with her. “Are you here for Edgar? I have something to pass to him


    as well. Should we go together?”


    “No–” She rejected instinctively, but before waiting for her reply, he had already gotten into the car.


    Since they were in close proximity with the employees of Royden Group, she opened the car door


    without any hesitation.


    “The people here said that he’s injured,” shemented calmly as she looked at him.


    “That’s right.” He turned the steering wheel as he passed a report to her. “Apart from that, he’s been


    framed. Someone injected a type of stimnt into him, so I need to go see him now.”


    She frowned. Is there someone who hates him more than I do?


    Soon, they reached Royden Residence. Nathan got out of the car first and handed the report to Edgar


    instantly.


    “The stimnt injected into Jean is very dangerous, and the effects will take ce within 72 hours. For


    her safety, it’s better to keep her around you.”


    Edgar frowned deeply, but before he could ask any other questions, Jean walked into the room.


    “That’s the most I can help you with, bro. Take care!”


    With that, he patted Edgar’s shoulders. In that instant, blood drained from his face as he inhaled


    sharply.


    Jean stopped at the door. He looks really pale.


    “I suddenly remember that I need to run some errands. I’ve passed you what you wanted, so I’ll leave


    now.” With that, he shot a look at Edgar and quickly left.


    As soon as the door was shut, Edgar looked at Jean deeply and walked to her.


    “Are you here for something?”


    He focused his gaze on her to make sure if she had any reaction or pain after being injected with the


    stimnt.


    However, his gaze made her put her guard up.


    She looked at him coldly and vigntly, as though she had to protect herself from what he was about to


    do next.


    “Didn’t you say that I breached the contract? I just want to make it clear – what did I do?”


    She had thought it out clearly. She was going to be very precise with him so that he would not have the


    opportunity to hold her weaknesses against her.


    Upon seeing that she was still ignorant of what had happened, he immediately felt relieved.


    Then, he slowly turned around and took a bottle of wine from a nearby cab. Toying the ss in his


    hand, he replied steadily, “Didn’t you look closely at the contract Miles passed to you? Right after you


    signed it, you already breached the terms.”


    ring at him, she said, “You lied to me!”


    “So what?” He smiled icily at her. “And I n to do that until the very end.”


    With that, he pulled her into the entrance of his vi and locked the door.


    “What are you doing?”


    Then, he locked her wrists together, but before she could start to struggle against him, she felt her


    head getting heavier and her sight bing blurry. “What have you done to me Edgar? You crazy


    jerk!”


    She hadpletely used up her energy in that shriek, and her energy was slipping away from her.


    He must have nned this out with Nathan to do this to me. I can’t believe I actually felt sorry for him


    just now after hearing that he had been injected with some stimnt.


    She bit her lips to wake herself up, but her senses became duller as the injury behind her head started


    bing itchy and painful.


    She seemed to have fallen into a dream where she was about to marry Edgar.


    All the pleasant memories from the past flooded into her head, as though her father was still alive, and


    the Eyer family was still intact. However, she was still maintaining a dead marriage.


    “Jean.”


    Someone was calling her name.


    The velvety voice was very familiar, and it belonged to a person she could never get over with.


    “Who is it?” She sat up immediately and realized that she was in an unfamiliar room. “W-Where am I?”


    At this moment, Susan was bringing breakfast upstairs, and she entered the room after hearing her


    voice.


    “You’re up, Ms. Eyer.”


    However, Jean didn’t seem to recognize her.


    “And you are…?” She looked at Susan in confusion.


    “Don’t you recognize me?” Susan froze.


    Jean blinked and shook her head. Then, she shoved the nkets aside and went to the window. “My


    head hurts, and I can’t really recall my memories. Where’s my dad?”


    Susan ced the breakfast tter on a table before saying, “E-Enjoy your breakfast first. I’ll inform Mr.


    Royden about this.”


    “Mr. Royden?” she wondered aloud.


    Nevertheless, the breakfast smelled nice, and she was rather hungry, so she pulled the chair out and


    sat down.


    Meanwhile, Susan ran to Edgar. “Mr. Royden, Ms. Eyer seems to have lost her memories. She doesn’t


    remember who I am, and she even asked for her dad.” With that, she sighed.


    After all, she knew very well that Gary had passed away two years ago, and his death was closely


    rted to Edgar.


    After fainting, Jean seems to have forgotten everything!


    “I’ll go take a look. Tell the others not to appear in front of her.”


    With that, he walked upstairs with Nathan’s words from the day before reverberating in his ears.


    “No one knows the effect of that stimnt.”
