Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 449 Chapter 449 "Back then, the investigation went nowhere and was deemed a cold case and set aside for years.If we could have solved it, don't you think we would have." Franklin sighed exasperatedly.He had wanted to get to the bottom of it and give the victims sclosure. "There are times when Edgar sees a wider picture than we do" Joseph frowned.

He walked out before stopping and turning around.

"Sir, can I continue to investigate this off the books?" By the tJean got home, dinner had been prepared.

"I know you don't feel like it, but you have to eat something" Susan said with concern. She pushed a bowl of soup to Jean.

"It'll be good for you" The smell of the seafood chowder made Jean's stomach turn.She dashed for the toilet. She emerged a few minutes after.She met Susan's gaze and held it for a few seconds.

"Miss, are you...?"" Susan hesitated before asking.

"Susan, please don't tell him." Jean pleaded.

"Nothing will change between us just because of this.I don't want anything to interfere with my decision" Susan sighed and nodded.

"Okay" "Letmake sure I really am before I do anything else" Jean went back to her room. She burrowed herself into the blankets and slowly placed her hands on her stomach. An old memory cto mind.

Back then, the doctor had told her that she would have problems conceiving. She might never be able to be a mother.

Were the heavens giving her a chance to be a mother now? She took a deep long, stuttering breath. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

The next day, it was reported on the news that Reece Group was closing down effective immediately. The board of directors was doing their best to distance themselves from Sam Reece.

The Reece family had collapsed.

Jean watched the news with cold, calculative eyes.

"Miss, how do you feel today?" Susan asked concernedly.

As a woman, she empathized deeply with Jean's current situation.

"I feel much better. Maybe I'm not pregnant after all.It might be because I haven't been able to get enough rest recently." Jean gave her a slight smile. Her appetite was back, and she downed a few more bowls of oatmeal.

After breakfast, she left for the office.

"Ms.Eyer!" Rachel greeted her as soon as she saw her.

The company wasn't in very good standing at the moment.

Especially after Royden Group and Pinnacle Group had a falling out.

Companies like Eyer Group were affected.

"You're not to blfor the economy not doing well.I know that you're all trying your best." Jean reassured them.

No one had resigned, even under such circumstances. S~earch the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

They all chose to stay with Eyer Group to the end.

That alone was worthy of Jean's gratitude.

"Eyer Group is still standing today because every single one of you chose to stand by me.” This cfrom her heart.

"Don't say that, Ms.Eyer." Rachel's eyes were red with unshed tears.

"From today onward, I'll be here every day. Working with all of you for the future of our company." Jean smiled with renewed confidence.

"Really? That's great!" Her other employees stood up in solidarity.

"Welcback, Ms.Eyer!" "I'll be in your care." Taking in all their determined smiles, Jean felt brave enough to face whatever challenges were in her way.She finally understood why her father did not close down Eyer Group before he died.

This company didn't belong to just her family; it belonged to every single employee here.

Jean devoted all her tto the company that week.

During her free time, she studied the investment market.She was also keeping an eye on the Reece family situation.

Public pressure seemed to dissipate.

Sam was stuck in the hospital awaiting treatment, and there didn't seem to be any updates on the case. She had expected this to happen, but...

If things dragged on like this, wouldn't Gigi have sacrificed herself for nothing? While Jean considered her options, someone she did not expect cand stood before her.

It was Winnie.

Winnie stood in front of her with tears streaming down her face.

She clutched at Jean's hand and refused to let go.

"Please. There's no one else I can turn to.Please save me.I owe them so much money, and if I don't pay them back, they'll..." Her face, covered in snot and tears, was disgusting to look at.

"Go ask Sam Reece for help. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to." Jean frowned and tugged her hand away.

"Rachel, remove her." "Yes, ma'am." Rachel gave the order for security to move.

But Winnie seemed to have lost her mind.

She ran around as if she had gone mad, crying, "You can't treatlike ΟΠΤ this, Jean! Your family is the reason I'm like this.1 wouldn't have gone to Sam if nothing had happened to your father" "Slap" Jean slapped her across the face.

"Don't mention my father with your filthy mouth" Winnie was reduced to a daze after that slap.She palmed her cheek and gritted her teeth.

"Hitthen! Beatto death! There is no way Sam Reece will ever go to jail!" Jean glared at her.

"What did you just say?"

"Haven't you heard? The police have not lifted a single finger to investigate the case. All because Sam Sold everything he owned to hire the best lawyer in the city to represent him. You cannot beat him!" Winnie had just cfrom the hospital.

The stench of disinfectant still lingered on her. She had stayed by Sam's side the entire time. She knew exactly what his plans were.

"I can tell you his every move under one condition. You need to pay all the money I owe." Winnie said through gritted teeth.

"Are you really going to betray Sam?" Jean watched her carefully.

"If you're lying to me, I'll have you..." "I recorded everything!" Winnie pulled out her phone.

"It can be used as evidence in court.I'll give it to you. How does that sound?" Jean glanced at her phone. She had a lot of recordings.

None of them would give in.

Winnie bit her lip and prodded, "Think about Gigi; she'll be jailed for m nothing Sam doesn't care if she lives of dies. The only person she can count on is you, her sister" Winnie pushed and pulled for Jean's money. Content belongs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

She chipped away at Jean's defense.

If this went on, everything she had worked for would be for naught.

Maybe Sam would continue to evade the law. She didn't want that to happen.

"Fine. I'll do it on one condition..." That night, Winnie returned to the hospital.

X The moment she entered his room, he barked at her, "Where have you been?!"
