Chapter 478

Ben pursed his lips.

“You know I don’t mean it that way.I’m concerned about you.”

Since that person dares to act against Edgar, there is nothing he won’t do.

Furthermore, Ben had witnessed Edgar’s willingness to risk himself for Jean at the race site overseas.He knew it would be challenging to separate them.

Therefore, he rushed back as soon as he finished dealing with the race team’s matters, hoping to stop Jean on time.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

“Jean, I know Edgar is not the ungrateful bully I imagined, and I also know he truly cares about you.But you need to consider yourself.Eyer Group and your life are only beginning to stabilize.I don’t wish to see you lose everything and have to start over again”

Only Jean truly understands the pain she had to go through then.

Is it right for her to risk all she has for Edgar again? Jean’s heart wavered slightly.She knew what she was risking even before Ben said this.

“Ben, this matter has already developed out of my control.Furthermore, I can’t distance myself from him even if I want to.Edbert and the people in Royden Group are targeting me.”

Other than this hospital room, I won’t be safe anywhere else.

Otherwise, Edgar wouldn’t have ordered Miles to keep me here.

Ben frowned and watched Jean take out the contract she had signed with Hiram.

“What is this?”

“Right now, I can only do my best to drag Pinnacle Group down.That way, Edbert will have misgivings about his plan.It will be even better if he gets into a disagreement with Bernard.That will give us more chances to win.”

“You…

Ben wanted to say something but couldn’t bring himself to tell them.

“Ben, you are my best friend.You understand what I’m doing, right?”

Jean looked up with a calm smile.

She was not pretending to be calm.

In fact, she sincerely desired to help Edgar.

Previously, there were things she could do, but for various reasons, she never dared to take that step.

A few seconds later, Ben looked down and sighed in resignation.

“I understand.If you need any help, feel free to let me know any time.”

Jean smiled and nodded.

“Thank you, but I’ve almost arranged everything.Something should happen in a couple of days.”

Ben hesitated.

In the end, he could not help but remind her before leaving, “You must be careful.You have seen how heartless Edbert is to his nephew.”

Jean rubbed her neck.

“I know.In actuality, Edgar was not the only one.Many more people were intricately connected to Edbert.She needed to dig up, one by one, all those secrets that had been hidden for many years.People who commit wrong must be made to pay the price.Even the most devious person would eventually receive God’s judgment.As Jean predicted, Edbert was invited to the Summer Residence shortly after he visited her in the hospital.Bernard even brought out the fine wine he had kept for years and shared it with him happily.

“Let’s toast to successful cooperation between our families.We will depend on you in the future; Bernard said and raised his wine glass.Edbert smiled and raised his wine glass.

“Don’t worry, Mr.Summer.I’ve already arranged everything.There won’t be any problems with this plan.Even if my nephew manages to free himself from this case, it will not change the inevitable.”

Hiram was not the only one working for Edbert.

Edbert had the whole company under his control.

Thus, it would be useless no matter what Jean and Miles planned.

After making a firm declaration, Edbert finished his wine in a gulp.

Meanwhile, Bernard smiled cheerfully opposite him.

“It’s a pleasure collaborating with someone as intelligent as you.Of course, I have nothing to worry about.In fact, I can’t help but think how fortunate I am.Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to collaborate with someone as outstanding as you and be on your side.”

After all, the Summer family had previously wanted Edgar as their son-in-law.

“Mr.Summer, there’s another matter”

Edbert paused briefly before pulling out a paper from his wallet.

The paper had Sherry’s signature.

“It’s a little evidence Ms.Summer left behind when she smuggled Gigi out of the country.I’ve already dealt with it”

Bernard was stunned.

Then, he raised both hands and shook Edbert’s.

“Let’s get ourselves drunk today!”

Edbert smiled sinisterly.His gaze gradually changed.He was confident he would get rid of his brilliant nephew this time.

After Edbert left, Bernard threw a massive tantrum at home.

He tore the paper to pieces before throwing them at Sherry.

“How can you be so careless? If Edbert didn’t bring this to me, and the police discovered it, you could spend the rest of your life in prison.”

Worst, it would affect Pinnacle Group. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org – All rights reserved.

Sherry frowned upon hearing him.

“Dad, Edbert would never be this nice.Why did he send this to us and not keep it to blackmail Pinnacle Group?”

Bernard’s drunkenness cleared considerably when he heard her.

“What do you mean?”

“Edbert is suing Edgar and needs the full support of the Summer family.

He is a devious man and will remove any uncertain factor.

So, why would he let this loophole remain?”

Sherry felt something was off as she thought about the matter.

Based on what she learned from Andy, Edbert was cunning as a fox.

He would never commit such a low- level mistake.

While they were still pondering the matter, a lawyer rushed through the door.

“Mr.Summer, we have a problem.Someone is suing Ms.Summer.”

“What?”

Sherry furrowed her brow.She took a few steps forward and saw her name on the document.

The reasons for the lawsuit were also stated.

It said Sherry had embezzled another’s property, smuggled things, and even injected someone with a particular drug.

Any one of the reasons was enough to cause severe implications to anyone.

“Deal with this immediately and make sure it doesn’t affect the company.Don’t let the news spread out.”

Bernard was now fully awake from his drunkenness.

He glared at Sherry viciously and yelled, “What the heck did you do?”

Sherry’s face turned pale.She pressed her fingernails firmly into her palm and said, “It was Edbert who told me to do things to Gigi.He made me do them.”

“No one will believe you if you say this!”

Bernard shouted furiously, “If you don’t resolve this matter properly, you will go to prison and ruin the Summer family’s name”

Sherry knew she would be made the scapegoat if the secret was revealed.

She looked down and forced herself to bear Bernard’s fury and abuse.

Once he finished scolding her, she planned to head to the police station with the lawyer immediately.

Unfortunately, she was a step too late.

By the time she reached the door, the police had already arrived and blocked it.

“Ms.Summer, we suspect your involvement in an international case.Please come to the police station with us”
