Chapter 476
Jean hummed in response.
"I know."
Jean looked determined as she said solemnly, "But we need to do something.We can''t let them dictate
our moves.We need to do something."
Miles hesitated before saying, "Sure, I will contact them."
He took a few steps toward the door but suddenly stopped and turned around.
After a brief pause, he said, "Mr.Royden had instructed me not to tell you about the child and to stay
here with you."
Jean smiled conspiringly.
"I''ll keep it a secret."
Hiram Zimmer came to Jean''s hospital room that afternoon.
He was in his early forties and had a gentlemanly demeanor.He spoke with a ssic southern ent.
"Ms.Eyer, what is the matter? Please get to the point.I still have many things to deal with."
"It''s only a minor matter; Jean replied evenly.Hiram’s eyes flickered with annoyance.
"Ms.Eyer, logically speaking, I have no obligation toe here to see you.You and Mr.Royden are
divorced, so you have no right to order anyone in Royden Group."
Thetter half of his speech was directed at Miles.
Miles frowned but did not speak.
"That''s all I have to say.I''ll take my leave."
He got up to leave.
"I wish to appoint awyer in my capacity to sue someone in court."
Jean smiled and continued, "I wish to sue Sherry Summer, the heiress of Pinnacle Group"
"What?"
Hiram did not expect those words from Jean.He frowned and considered for a while beforeing
closer.
"I apologize, Ms.Eyer.I truly do not have time to ept any other cases"
"You can name your fees."
Jean looked at him calmly.
Hiram briefly considered and shook his head with a smile, "Ms.Eyer, stop joking.Mr.Royden''s ongoing
cases involve billions.If you have the money, you should consider helping Mr.Royden to get out of his
troubles."
"You''re mistaken.Edgar and I are divorced.We have nothing to do with each other."
Jean blinked and continued, "Miles and I are friends, and I asked him to rmend awyer to
me.Did that make you think there''s still something between Edgar and me?"
Hiram was rendered speechless.He could not find anything wrong with Jean''s words.
"Furthermore, Edgar is doomed.He lost hispany and is now riddled withwsuits.I would have to
be stupid to side with him’ Jean smiled elegantly.
"Mr.Zimmer, are you assuming I''m an idiot?"
Miles was confused upon hearing her.He could not figure out what Jean was nning.
Yet, Hiram believed her and began discussing Jean''s case earnestly.
"But you don''t have definite proof.I''m afraid it will be difficult to win."
Jean was unconcerned.
"If this were an easy case, why would I need to spend so much money to hire you?"
Hiram hesitated before saying, "All right.I''ll consider it and research it before we discuss this further."
"Sure.Thank you, Mr.Zimmer."
As soon as Hiram left the room, Jean turned to Miles.
"Is everything ready?"
Miles nodded.
"Keith is already waiting at the door.He will let us know if Hiram meets with anyone."
After saying that, Miles hesitated.
"But will this work? They have likely prepared the evidence earlier on"
Even Royden Group''s legal department concluded that Edgar would be sentenced for the crime.
"You''ve said it yourself.Edbert has taken control of the whole Royden Group.Doesn''t that include the
legal department?"
Miles nodded.
"Once Hiram reveals this information, Edbert will know I wish to sue Sherry.The powerful Pinnacle
Group backs Sherry.If Edbert could get Pinnacle Group on board, Edgar will never be able to turn
things around."
"Isn''t what we''re doing making things worse for Mr.Edgar?"
It''s bad enough that he has to deal with awsuit.
Now, even Pinnacle Group will get involved! Oh no! Will Edgar spend the rest of his life in prison? Jean
leaned against the bed and looked out of the window.
"One has to be forced to the end to find the true will to live.In the following few days, those who wanted
to sue Edgar seemed to have disappeared overnight.Royden Group also seemed peaceful.
Besides Hiram visiting Jean in the hospital every three to five days, everything was normal.
"All right, Ms.Eyer.I will file thewsuit tomorrow morning.But I have to warn you that Pinnacle Group''s
influence should not be underestimated.They might suppress the suit immediately; Hiram said as he
took notes.
"Thank you, Mr.Zimmer."
Shortly after Hiram left, an uninvited guest arrived.
"Mr.Edbert!"
Miles was stunned and instinctively tried to hide.
Jean called after him, "There''s no need to do that""
Thus, Miles heeded her and stood still.
At the same time, Edbert entered the room with George, his assistant.

Jean looked at them.
Her eyes were calm as a stillke.
"Someone in thepany told me you''ve been hospitalized, so I took some time off to see you."
Edbert looked at Jean''s body as he spoke.
"What''s your illness?"
If one only focused on his warm expression, one would think he was merely a kindly elder.
Jean smiled.
"It''s gastritis"
As soon as she regained consciousness, she immediately instructed Miles to speak to the hospital
management.
To protect her privacy, the hospital management epted her strange request.
They transferred her case to the internal medicine department and helped her move to another ward.
"Sigh, young people these days keep neglecting their health.Miles, you must take good care of
Ms.Eyer so that Edgar doesn''t have to worry about her in his detention."
Then, he appeared shocked, as if he had identally let something slip.
"I''ve seen the news.He should bear responsibility for what he did.Anyway, there''s nothing between us
anymore, so I don''t feel sad"
It was the truth.
Jean was neither sad nor worried.She was determined to use any means to get Edgar out safe and
sound.
Edbert seemed relieved.
"That''s good to hear.I haven''t been able to sleep well for the past two days and went to see Edgar this
morning.He doesn''t seem to be doing well there and has lost some weight"
Jean clutched the bed sheet tightly under the nket.
But her gaze remained calm as if she was hearing Edbert talking about a stranger.
Edbert nagged her for a while before waving his hand.
"Why did I say all these? Thepany''s legal department is preparing to deal with this case and will
not let anything happen to Edgar.So, don''t worry and have a good rest"
Jean smiled and said casually, "What is there for me to worry about?"
Edbert was surprised.
He regarded Jean briefly before answering, "You''re right.The two of you have been divorced for a long
time"
"The one who should worry is Sherry.I''m nning to send her to prison.Then, the two of them can live
there together"
