Chapter 455

When Edbert left Majestic Hotel, Bernard looked at the leaving car greedily.

“Hmph! Who does Edgar think he is? He’s delusional to compete with us.”

Sherry sat beside him quietly with a deep frown on her face.

“Dad, do you believe Edbert’s words? If he really had the capabilities to take over the company from Edgar, he would have done it long ago.”

Her words jolted Bernard to his senses.

Thinking back to their conversation moments ago, he snorted.

“Perhaps the right opportunities hasn’t come his way”

“Precisely.Sherry, you should learn some business tactics from your father.Oh, and don’t forget to make friends with Charles.”

Sherry stood up obediently.

“Got it, Mommy.I’ll think of some ways.”

As soon as she walked out of the door, her obedience was replaced with hatred.She dialed Andy’s number.

“You’re right – [‘m like a replica of Gigi to Edbert, but I won’t allow him to use me for nothing.I’ll help you”

Biting her lips harshly, she entered her room.

That afternoon, Jean finally opened her eyes in bed.

Upon sensing the white surroundings and the weakness within her, she frowned.

The smell of disinfectant was thick in the air.

A transparent liquid from an intravenous drip entered her body droplet by droplet.She tried to prop herself up with her arms to sit up, but she heard some noise at the door.She listened carefully and closed her eyes as she lay back in bed.

The sound of approaching footsteps was from a pair of high heels — not leather shoes.

Who is it? Doctors or nurses don’t usually wear those kind of shoes.

“I don’t understand what they like about you.You’re not that pretty — wait, are you awake?” Sara yelped.

Her accent sounded similar to Charles’.

Jean opened her eyes and saw a beautiful young girl smiling back at her.

“I knew you were faking it.Are you worried about alerting my brother or Mr.Royden?”

“Ehem…”

“Water?”

Sara quickly poured a glass of water observantly.However, she was not used to the culture there, so she brought a glass of iced water.

Jean frowned and waved.

“It’s fine.Thanks”

She wanted to sit upright, but Sara quickly pinned her down.

“The doctor said you need lots of rest.”

Then, she muttered in a low voice, “If they know that I didn’t take good care of you, my brother will scold me”

She looked like a spoiled kid, making Jean smile.

“Your brother is Charles, isn’t he?”

“Yeah.So you remember him.”

While speaking, Sara sat in a chair, looking at Jean with an unfathomable look in her blue eyes.

Jean tried to calm herself down.

“What is the date today?” she asked slowly.

“It’s the ninth.” Sara’s reply was immediate.

Then, her phone rang. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

She looked at the screen and mumbled, “It’s Charles.”

Jean quickly stopped her from answering.

“Can I ask you a favor?”

It had been an entire day since she fainted in the store room, so they had definitely done the necessary checks.

She believed that Edgar knew the truth about her pregnancy.It was futile to keep lying to him.

Unless an accident happened.

Sara’s phone was still ringing when Jean finished explaining her situation, but Sara frowned upon hearing that.

“But Charles will blame me for that.If he sends me home, I can’t stay here any longer.”

Her childlike tone warmed Jean up.

“Please.I don’t want to repeat my previous mistake, she pleaded in a low voice.After a long moment of hesitation, Sara finally nodded as she looked at Jean’s pale face.

“Alright.But you have to speak up for me if they find out about this”

“Of course.Thanks a lot.”

Jean heaved a sigh.

Since Sara did not pick up the call, the ringing eventually ended.She waited for five minutes before returning the call.

“Bad news, Charles.Ms.Eyer had a miscarriage!”

Half an hour later, Edgar stood furiously in the middle of the ward.

“She was alright when I left her!”

He lost his temper, glaring at the doctors and nurses.

“How did this happen?”

The bed was covered in blood, and Jean was lying quietly with a pale face and cracked lips.

The doctors were at wit’s end.

“Mr.Royden, please calm down.We need to do a thorough check-up before we can tell you what exactly happened.Based on the patient’s previous report, this shouldn’t have happened.”

They knew very well the consequences of offending Edgar, but they could only exchange helpless glances.

“She’s already so weak, yet you want to do more checks on her.I can’t believe this”

Sara muttered to support Jean.

Upon hearing that, the doctors’ expressions changed.It would be hurtful to do that to her right now.

Jean was clearly distressed at that moment.

“Can everyone just leave me alone?” she asked coldly from the bed.

Then, she lifted her head and looked at Edgar.

“You too”

With that, she pulled the sheets over her head.

Upon seeing that, the doctors didn’t dare to stay a second longer and immediately walked out of the room.

Sara also pulled Charles out of the room.

“It’s not my fault.The doctors don’t even know how it happened”

Charles looked at the closed door.

“Sara, as a Rothschild, you know we never lie.Can you swear that you are not lying to us?” he demanded sternly.

Sara widened her eyes innocently.

“Of course! Why would I lie to you?”

After observing her reaction, he gave a slight nod.

“Then we don’t have any business here anymore.Let’s go.”

“Where to?”

“To discuss the collaboration with Pinnacle Group.”

Edgar stood in the ward motionlessly, looking at Jean the entire time.

“Don’t suffocate yourself”

With that, he walked over and tried to tug on the blanket.

However, Jean bit her lips, refusing to look at him with tears in her eyes.

“—”

He opened his mouth, but he didn’t say what was on his mind, feeling helpless seeing her so devastated.

“Tell me what I can do for you.Apart from leaving you alone, I will do anything for you.”
