Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 532

Royden Group acted immediately to prevent the incident from being leaked to outsiders.

Apart from informing the police, everyone in the company was forbidden to tell anyone else about the incident. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

However, the media still found out about it.

Then, a few people even went to Xena's hospital room to harass her.

After spending a night in the ICU, she returned to the ward only to be scolded by the other patients.

Even the nurses were unkind to her and looked at her with disdain.

They were also careless when checking her condition.

Xena was dumbfounded.

"I'm the victim here.Why is everyone treating me this way?"

Xena had no choice but to vent her anger at George.

"Also, why was my snack the same as Jean's?"

George appeared unbothered as he stood at the side.

"Hey! Say something!"

George looked at her indifferently.He was expressionless like a robot as he said, "You're too noisy.How am I to speak? Also, what do you want me to say?"

"Tell me, why did you cause me to be admitted into ICU and remain ill even now?"

Xena glared at him furiously.

She was sure that Edbert had arranged for someone to tamper with the snacks, but she could not understand why she had to be dragged in.

George looked at her and said flatly, "I've told you before.Once you hop on board, you can't do things as you wish.It's your greed that led you to this.Who are you to blame others?"

She is only a pawn.

Does she really think she can live like a princess? Xena gripped the blanket tightly and clenched her teeth furiously.

"Is this all you have to say?"

"At most, I can transfer another five hundred thousand into your card."

George looked at her and continued solemnly, "Plainclothes police officers will be here in the afternoon to record your statement.What you need to say is all written on this paper: He put down the paper and left straight away.Xena sat quietly on her bed and looked at that paper for a long time.

Does this mean even the police follow their orders? Everything happened as George told her, and two plainclothes police officers showed up in the afternoon.

"Xena Sparks, we are here to record your statement.What were you doing between 3 p.m.to 4 p.m.on the twelfth? Who was with you at that time?"

Xena hesitated briefly.She looked at the police officers for a long time before perfectly reciting what George had wanted her to say.

"I can't remember much.I should be in the company."

Xena looked down slightly.Her smile seemed a little unnatural.

"I think the company's surveillance system would have recorded me at that time.I should be in the office then"

Coincidentally, Rachel was nearby at that time.

Xena even argued with her.

George must have wanted the police officers to find this.

Then, the police officers asked her a few more minor questions.

Xena was able to provide ‘perfect’ answers to each of them.

Once the police officers left, she pushed aside the nurse assigned to watch her and left her room.

She remembered Gigi was staying in CRK Ward and ran there immediately.

Twenty minutes later, Xena knocked on Gigi's door.

"Who are you?"

Sheena looked at her warily.

They rarely had any visitors at this hour.

Gigi sat in a rocking chair, reading a book.She seemed at peace.

When she heard noises at the door, she looked up slowly and briefly glanced at Xena’s face before looking away.

Sheena saw that Xena was about to rush to Gigi, so she tried to chase Xena away.

"Edbert sent me here to talk to you.He has a message for you, and I need to speak to you alone."

Xena gritted her teeth before continuing, "He will stoop to no lengths.I believe you know how cruel he is."

Gigi chuckled and glanced at Xena.

"Are you threatening me?"

Sheena warned sternly, "Gigi, don't listen to her nonsense.I'll make her leave now."

But Xena immediately dodged to the side.

"Jean's assistant mistakenly ate the snacks sent to Jean and had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment overnight.She nearly died,"

Xena shouted urgently.

Gigi's expression changed slightly.

"Sheena, please leave us."

Sheena frowned and glared at Xena before leaving.

"I'm right outside.If you dare to attempt anything.."

Once Sheena left, Gigi slowly turned around and looked at Xena's face.She seemed to be thinking something.

"Edbert is behind all these.He is determined to get rid of Jean and her unborn baby.Therefore, I'm here to propose a collaboration with you.I can tell you everything Edbert told me, but my condition is..."

Gigi looked at her and sneered, "You want Edgar."

Xena raised her chin upon hearing Gigi.

"That's right"

Gigi began to laugh.

"My relationship with Jean is not as close as you imagined.I'm unable to help you get Edgar.You've asked the wrong person"

Xena stepped forward and said, "Yes, I know you and Jean are not on the best terms, but you can use this chance to snatch Eyer Group from her.This is your opportunity to take back everything your sister owes you all these years."

Xena grew more excited as she spoke.She even took out her phone to show a screenshot.It was a photo of Edgar and Jean from the recent interview.

"Look at this.While you're undergoing treatment in the hospital, she happily enjoys her position as the lady of Royden Group.Are you sure you can stand this?"

Xena suddenly grabbed Gigi's hand.

"Let's be honest.You can't stand it, right?"

Xena smiled gleefully when she left the ward.

Sheena rushed into the room anxiously.

"Gigi, you mustn't listen to her nonsense.She is working for Edbert, that sly old fox."

"Hmm, I know.Gigi turned to Sheena and smirked.

"Doesn't she remind you of how I was back then? I was so naive and thought so highly of myself."Sheena fell silent for a moment.Her heart pained for her.

"That's all in the past."

"You should tell Jean about this matter when she comes to see you tonight.As long as you sisters stand united, there will always be a way"

Sheena felt something was off about Gigi's expression.

Gigi shook her head.

"There's no need for that.She has already exhausted herself over my matter.I can deal with this minor problem myself."

Then, she looked at Sheena and said solemnly, "I want to talk to Dr.Walterson.Can you help me arrange it?"

Previously, Gigi kept insisting on changing her primary doctor.However, the hospital refused her request because a specialist in her condition was rare.

Previously, Gigi would always chase Andrew out whenever he came to see her.

Now, it seemed Gigi finally came around.

Thus, Sheena was glad.

When Jean came to the hospital in the evening, Gigi smiled, saying, "The hospital informed me that they found a suitable donor and is communicating with the person’ "So soon?"

Jean's eyes brightened with joy.

"That's wonderful."

The uncertain waiting period had been nerve-racking.

Thus, Jean was happy to hear this good news.

Even if the donor refused in the end, there was at least some development.

Jean took a bite of a banana and said, "Therefore, I need to go through a few extensive check-ups.So, if there's nothing important, you don't have to come to see me.I don't want to waste your time."

Before Jean could react, Gigi stuffed a few medical examination reports into Jean's hand.

"Andrew will continue to treat my condition, so you don't have to worry"
