Chapter 115 Chapter 115 Tell Him I Am Dying When Jean woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar bedroom. She instantly becalert as she noticed the opulent surrounding and smelled the gentle fragrance of perfin the air. Has Sky captured me? Where am I? Jean sat up immediately. She ignored the soreness all over her body and decided to walk out on her bare feet. She had just gotten off the bed when a man cout of the bathroom.
"You!" Jean screamed. “Edgar, why are you here?" Did he make a deal with Sky? Or is it...
Edgar looked at her face calmly and approached her to check whether she still had a fever. However, she slapped his hand away before he could touch her. "Stay away from me!" Edgar's arm was left hanging in the air as his eyes turned stern. Why has she turned hostile the instant she woke up? Edgar ignored her and went out straight away. By the tJean cdownstairs, she finally realized her being here had nothing to do with Sky. Although Sky was influential in the design industry, he would not have the means to own such a luxurious villa in Yorktown.
This villa had a total of five stories and had an opulent European design. Even the lamps on the wall were exquisite.
Jean did not see anyone as she walked down the stairs.
"This place is like a haunted house!" Suddenly, she heard footsteps from the second floor. She saw Edgar and glared at him. Then, she headed into the kitchen without a backward glance.
She was hungry.
Edgar changed into a shirt and suit before heading downstairs. He saw Jean in the kitchen and could not resist smiling.
Jean took a slice of bread from the table and drank a mouthful of milk before complaining, "What's wrong with him? He has such a big house, but this is all the food he has. Is Royden Group about to go bankrupt?" Edgar realized something at that moment.
He did not seem to mind Jean cursing him.

"It doesn't hurt." She continued to maintain her distance from him as she considered smatter.
"Later, the doctor will be coming here to give you a checkup. You should take your medicine on time." He headed outside after saying that.
Jean looked at him walk away and felt confused.
"Edgar, is there something wrong with your head?" Since he is not working with Sky, why did he bringhere? Isn't he the one who wantsdead the most? The heiress of the Eyer family was found dead on the streets. Isn't that the news he wishes to see the most? Jean held her glass of milk and could not figure out the answer.
On the other hand, Edgar ignored her insult and said, “Let's talk once you are clear-headed." "Talk? Do you expectto wait here obediently for you? Are you mad? I'm not Gigi." Jean grumbled and took two bites of bread.
Edgar sneered in response. "You can try and see whether you can escape here." After he said that, the door instantly locked with a loud click.
"Edgar, you sick b*stard! Letout!" Jean ran to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room and shouted. However, Edgar ignored her as he got into a car and left.
Ten minutes later, Jean sat helplessly on the rug.
She could not find her phone or bag. Furthermore, all the windows were locked.
In other words, Edgar had placed her under house arrest.
Soon, the doctor Edgar mentioned arrived. After giving Jean a checkup, he did not say anything and got ready to leave.
Jean stopped him. "Doctor, is there any problem with my wound?" The doctor glanced at her and shook his head. "Ms. Eyer, you just have to rest well and take your medication on time. If you don't have a fever within these three days, you will be fine." "Oh. In that case... Will you inform Edgar about my condition?" The doctor nodded.
"Yes, I will inform Mr. Royden." "Can you tell him my condition is severe and I am dying?" Jean asked earnestly.
"I..." Jean smiled and said, "Please, you will doa great favor." At Royden Group, Edgar had just cout of the meeting room when he received Miles' report.
"Dr. Carden said Jean's condition is complicated. She may have sustained an injury to her head, and she should go to a hospital for a thorough checkup. Otherwise, she might end up with long-term sequelae." Edgar immediately paused in his footsteps.
"What?" Miles bowed and replied, "That is what Dr. Carden said." Edgar frowned and strode into his office.
Miles continued to present Edgar with the work arrangements for the following week before saying, "Mr. Shaw has returned to the office, but he insists he is not in charge of the procurement case anymore. The board of directors thinks your punishment for him is too severe." Edgar glanced up calmly. "Anything else?" I don't need to keep consulting those old men on everything.
"On another matter, the company's vice president, Mr. Edbert Royden, would like to return to the country and work here. He explained he has grown old and would like to return to Yorktown to retire.” Miles placed a transfer application on Edgar's table.
Edgar signed without hesitation.
"Since Uncle Edbert would like to return, we should get things ready for him. He needs a suitable position and place to stay. Thus, I leave this matter to you. I don't trust others to handle this." "Understood, Mr. Royden. I assure you that I will handle the matter to you and Mr. Edbert's satisfaction." Edgar grunted in acknowledgment and raised his hand.
Then, Miles left the office quietly and closed the door.

Edgar had a meeting as soon as he arrived at the company and was now exhausted. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when high heel shoes sounded outside his office. Contents belong to "Edgar, I must talk to you today." Gigi and her bodyguard barged into Edgar's office. The bodyguard even pushed Miles away as he tried to stop them.
Then, Gigi bit her lower lip and appeared sad.
Edgar looked at them and asked coldly, "What's the matter?" It sounded like he was talking to a stranger. Then, he gestured to Miles, and Miles closed the door immediately.
Gigi's eyes were red and swollen from crying. Her makeup barely concealed her dark circles.
"Look at this yourself." She slammed a few photos onto Edgar's desk.
These photos were taken by a private detective she hired. The private.
m detective followed Edgar and found Edgar had brought Jean into his villa. Furthermore, they did not cout of the villa for the whole night. Moreover, Jean was still there.
Edgar's expression darkened. "You hired people to follow me?"
"No, I didn't hire him to follow you." Gigi immediately toned down her anger. " hired him to follow Jean because I'm worried she would look for you." "Is there any difference?" Edgar's eyes were devoid of any affection. All he could feel was frustration as Gigi kept appearing within his sight.
Gigi's tears flowed down her face.
"Edgar, why have you changed? You didn't use to treatlike this?" "It's because I didn't know the extent of your deviousness." One can never judge a book by its cover.
Edgar finally understood that the coquettish woman in front of him was much more devious than Jean. Not only did Gigi conceal many things from him. It turned out she had always been putting on an act. Not only did Gigi conceal many things from him. It turned out she had always been putting on an act.
