Chapter 331
Chapter 331 Knew Him Too Well
Many becaware of Edgar's hospitalization. Moreover, the doctor had said today that Edgar's condition was
unfavorable. Yet, given the current situation, Nathan actually showed up at that kind of place. As such, Jean
reckoned something must be fishy. Even Susan was worried about Edgar and asked Jean to check in on him in
the hospital. How would Nathan possibly disregard the situation?
Obviously, it was a trap. Jean's train of thought straightened out as she arrived at a crossroads. It was very likely
that Edgar's incident in the village was staged in order to lure the mastermind out. However, given Jean's
understanding of Edgar, she reckoned his target might not be the mastermind only - it might involve Sam and
Gigi.
Sam was a jerk, so Jean couldn't care less about him, but what about Gigi? Jean shook her head and sighed in
resignation. She couldn’t be bothered to think about them.
By the tshe arrived home, it was almost dawn. After sending the picture of Quinn and Sam hugging each
other in the airport to the reporters, she went to bed.
Within a few hours, the stock price of Reece Group plummeted. The wives of Reece Group's collaboration
partners forbade their husbands to work with someone like Sam.
Soon, Reece Group received dozens of contract termination letters.
Jean went for a ride in her car as she was in a good mood. There was a tournament today, so she drove to the
venue.
It was a sunny day. She stood on the platform and observed the situation at the track.
Although Ben had announced his retirement, he would still participate in stournaments as an amateur racer
from tto time.
When he spotted Jean from afar, he raised his arm and waved at her.
When his fans on the platform saw their interaction, they lifted their phones and started capturing pictures of
them. S~earch the Findwebsite on Goggle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
“Wow, isn’t that the lady Dark Horse pursued before this? The match, which they previously partnered together,
was amazing! But alas, Dark Horse retired in the middle of the tournament and didn’t win a Grand Slam.”
“That doesn’t matter at all! Dark Horse is now the bright star in the business circle - he'll succeed in his career
sooner or later.”
As the audience applauded, Jean leaned against the chair and watched Ben's performance quietly. From afar, a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcamera was capturing pictures of her. In fact, she was being tailed since she left her place in the morning.
However, the stalker was not noticeable because many other spectators had photography equipment too.
Soon, the tournament began. As expected, Ben won a landslide victory. However, he did not wait for the prizes to
be presented but immediately went to sit beside Jean on the platform.
“You're going to cause an uproar by coming over here.” Jean muttered. Swere already taking pictures of
them.
“I'm not a professional car racer anymore. Even Sonny askedto be more relaxed. | didn’t expect you to
come.” A smile rested on Ben's lips.
Gazing at the tracks from a distance, his tone was calm yet genuine. “Jean, I'm so glad you came.”
This might be his last tparticipating in a race, so he thought this farewell tournament was made complete
with Jean's presence.
Jean pulled her hat lower and turned to whisper to Ben. Thereafter, the two left from the back of the platform.
“When did you notice it?” Frowning, Ben escorted Jean to the changing room.
“Not long ago.” Jean closed the door and was finally relieved. “Could it be your die-hard fans?”
The sun was blinding on the platform. Jean inadvertently noticed someone was taking candid photographs of her
and Ben.
“That's impossible!”
Ben opened the locker and let out a cough. “Can you turn aside first?”
Jean quickly turned away. “I'm sorry!”
Ben smirked. He swiftly changed into another set of clothes but didn’t tell Jean when he was done. Instead, he
stared at her in silence for a moment. He was afraid this might be the last the could spend twith her
alone.
Sometlater, he closed the locker slowly and said in a nonchalant tone, “I'm done.”
“How should we leave here?” Jean asked calmly.
Ben wore a rueful smile. “There’s a pathway for authorized personnel at the back.”
All this while, he was the only one having wishful thoughts. While they were walking toward the car park from
the rear door, Ben recalled something out of the blue. “I saw from the news that Edgar's condition is
unfavorable.” He put it in a subtle way and observed Jean's response.
“Mm-hmm.” Jean tilted her head and answered calmly, “His brain was injured. He might turn out in a vegetative
state.”
Ben was startled to perceive Jean's nonchalant attitude. “Aren’t you worried?” Content belongs to

The relationship between Jean and Edgar is complicated. Given the current situation, it was abnormal for her to
cand watch Ben's tournament as if nothing had happened.
Jean opened the car door and seemed as if she had let go of everything.
“That has nothing to do with me.” Jean smiled before continuing, “Moreover, he’s not going to die.”
“How are you so certain?” Ben was surprised.
Jean hummed in response, “If you were Nathan, you wouldn't be in the mood to drink given the severity of
Edgar's condition, would you? But Nathan boozed it up last night.”
Besides, Jean had a hunch that Nathan went to the club last night with the sintention as her.
Meanwhile, Nathan was sitting beside Edgar's bed. After ensuring that Gigi and the caretakers had left, he let out
a cough. “They're gone.”
The man on the bed opened his eyes all of a sudden, looking sober and wide awake.

Nathan thought Edgar's move was fantastic - First, he made Sam let his guard down; then, he put bait to lure the
mastermind out.
“However, if Sam has nothing to do with your accident, we won't be able to get any clues.” This was Nathan's
greatest concern - all their efforts might go down the drain if that was the case.
Furthermore, Royden Group had been facing internal conflicts recently; Edgar would miss the best tto
manage the company now that he pretended to be hospitalized.
“Sam Reece is associated with that place. Besides him, | can’t think of any other suspects. Even if Andy is

Edgar planned to grab the bull by the horn. He didn’t want to waste time, so he had to hit the nail on the head.
Nathan nodded in response.
Suddenly, he recalled the scene from

Edgar hummed in response. Nathan's eyes widened. “Did you tell her?”
Edgar shook his head. “I'm worried that someone intends to harm her, so | chased her away when | woke up that
day.” Then, he jerked his chin in a specific direction. “That floral basket is from her.”
