Chapter 386 Chapter 386 Trouble Edbert frowned and suddenly splashed the cup of hot tea on his assistant. "Idiots." The assistant trembled from being scalded but did not dare to protest.
After throwing the teacup, Edbert stood furiously, "You all can't even do a simple job. What are you all good for?" "I'm sorry, sir." The assistant had no choice but to keep apologizing. He was terrified of Edbert when he lost his temper. Edbert paced around the table before ordering coldly, "Remove every trace. Things will get complicated if my nephew finds anything." "Yes, Mr. Edbert." The assistant nodded and immediately went to carry out his order. Edbert stood in the sspot and considered something.
Then, he pulled out his phone and pressed a series of numbers. "Make sure to complete it well." As soon as he put down the phone, Sam rushed into the restaurant with a panicked expression. Edbert looked at him and frowned with displeasure about him barging in recklessly.
Sam did not notice Edbert's expression and said, "What are we going to do? If Edgar finds out I did something behind his back, he...." "Look at yourself. How do you stand a chance against him? He hasn't discovered your involvement, but you're already panicking." Edbert frowned with disgust.
Sam wanted to argue. But he had no choice but to resist it and swallow what he wanted to say.
"I don't have a choice. Moreover, you should know better thanhow cruel Edgar can be." Sam had no choice but to soften his tone. "We need to cup with a plan now. If he finds out, you and I are doomed." After saying that, Sam gritted his teeth and glanced toward the door.
"Don't forget. I recently helped you deal with many goods in Royden Group's warehouse. You will be in for a huge loss if he discovers this." Edbert had given him a good cut of the profit. Otherwise, he would never do this for him.
Naturally, Sam was fearful after having taken such a huge risk. It would have been fine if Edgar had never traced it to him. But if he did, not only would Sam lose Reece Group. He would even have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Sam's mind grew with fear and panic, but Edbert's expression darkened.
"What is there to be scared of? What can he find?" Edbert snorted. "Everyone involved in this matter is gone from this word. No one can reveal anything." Sam was stunned. "Really?" There were many people involved. Did Edbert really get rid of them all? Sam was in disbelief, but Edbert's expression confirmed his statement was true.

"Listen carefully. Now is not the tto complain. Also, you and I have better not meet." Edbert got up and left with his assistant.
Sam sat still and remained dazed for a long time.
"Edbert and his nephew. Between the both of them, I wonder who is crueler." Edgar drove the car and brought Jean back to his house. As soon as they went in, there were people with gloves collecting evidence everywhere. No one made a sound.
Jean walked a few steps and becstunned.
"What is the meaning of this?" "Gigi's management company will organize a press conference for her to explain what happened last night in less than twenty-four hours. I need to prepare everything before that happens." In actuality, he instructed his people to prepare for so much more.
Jean frowned and considered briefly before saying, "There was only you and her at the time. Are you sure you can convince everyone what happened?" Even if he did not intend to touch Gigi, he could have still done something unintentionally when drunk.
"Yes, I can." He flicked his wrist and pulled Jean to him, enveloping her in his warmth.
He held her chin with his fingers. "I told you a long tago. I don't touch anyone except you." This content provided by Nôvel.Org.
His cold, somber eyes looked like they could suck out her soul.
As people were still collecting evidence, Edgar turned around and brought her into the bedroom.
He closed the door and leaned toward her.
Jean instinctively moved to the side to dodge him.
Upon seeing that, Edgar's eyes turned gloomy and focused on her face as he kept moving closer until he trapped her against the door, with no way to escape.
Jean frowned as she looked at Edgar and said, “Explain yourself first." Surprisingly, he was not angry but asked, "This is my house, so don't I have the final say on everything? I'm not required to explain anything to anyone." Jean remained silent and looked at him with conflicting emotions.
However, she could not deny that he was right.
He was the master of this house.
Edgar held the door handle and removed any chance for her to escape. His eyes were cold, but there was a trace of anger.
"It's useless for you to take Gigi's side." Jean sighed in resignation. “What do you want?" After all, Gigi was hospitalized. Search The Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

However, reality corrected her assumption. Edgar not onlyinstructed people to collect evidence in his house but also got them to obtain all surveillance footage from nearby streets.
They showed how Gigi arrived at the house, what she brought in, where she went ent after she left, and whom she met with. There were no rocks left unturned. His staff made sure to investigate everything closely. Jean's thoughts becmore apparent as his staff checked through the surveillance footage.
She tugged his sleeve and prepared numerous things to say. But before opening her mouth, she looked up and met his icy gaze.
Jean swallowed her words and was unable to speak.
Edgar had no plans to hide anything from her. Instead, he placed the evidence into an envelope right before her eyes.
"With these things, anything Gigi tells the reporter will beca joke against her. Meanwhile, you and I shall escape all blame. This is the best way." He kept watching for her reaction as he spoke.
Jean's heart was beating fast. After i stime, she said, "You should put more effort into Royden Group and secure your position as president. You have better stop investigating such matters." Edgar observed her closely with a stern and cold gaze.
Jean's heart bubbled with panic, but she forced her expression to remain calm.
"I won't allow any error in this matter." He loosened his grip, and Jean immediately retreated half a step.
Edgar looked at her beautiful face and suddenly felt glum. He asked solemnly, "Why did you agree to get back together with me?" His question prompted Jean to lower her head.
She could not answer his question and had no choice but to change the topic.
"Gigi still has to stay in the hospital for three days. You should see her if you have tto avoid more trouble." "Jean!" X
