Chapter 381 Her Tragic State

As soon as Edgar came out of the meeting room, Nathan rushed over and stopped him at the door. “I saw the

news. What’s going on? Are you and Jean back together?”

He nearly dropped his jaw in shock as soon as he found out the news. A day ago, he was searching for Edgar all

over the world. He never expected to be congratulating Edgar today.

“Yes,” Edgar answered briefly. His response made Nathan’s heart skip a beat. “Did Jean initiate it?” “What are you

trying to say?” Edgar frowned. He wanted to walk away, but Nathan kept blocking his way and refused to step

aside.

“Edgar, are you not going to consider why she did this? Previously, she was strongly against getting back together.

Why did she suddenly change her mind? She’s not a fickle person.”

He’s right.

Once Jean decided on something, she would never change her mind unless there was an unforeseeable

circumstance.

Furthermore, she was…

Edgar’s frown deepened.

“Nathan, I thought you would be happy for me.” Edgar had wanted this for so long.

When Jean hugged him, his mind went blank. He did not want to think about anything.

“I am happy for you, but I feel you should have a good talk with her. Many things happened to Royden Group

recently. We can’t afford any more trouble.”

Edgar’s expression darkened.

Nathan sighed helplessly. “I know you don’t want to hear this now, and I also understand how much you care about

her. But, Edgar, you have already made mistakes once. If you make another mistake, how will you face each other?

Furthermore, you were confined in a warehouse at the harbor for a day. Shouldn’t you find out who did it?”

As soon as Nathan finished speaking, someone opened the door to Edgar’s office.

Jean stood at the door and looked at them.

“That’s all I have to say. You should think over it carefully.”

Edgar was shrewd in all that he did. However, he lost his rationality at anything involving the Eyer family.

When the Eyer family went bankrupt, he did everything he could to secure Eyer Residence and its furniture. From

that moment, Nathan already knew Edgar could not let go of Jean.

Although he refused to admit it, the truth was right before his eyes.

Nathan entered the elevator and left the company.

Jean pursed her lips and asked cautiously, “Is something the matter with Mr. Knox? Why did he look at me

strangely?”

“It’s nothing.”

Edgar’s eyes appeared solemn. “You must be tired. Let’s get something to eat.”

Jean nodded with a smile. “Sure.”

Then, they entered the elevator together, unaware of the envious gazes behind them.

“Mr. Royden is so nice to Ms. Eyer.”

“I’ve never seen him behave so gently with anyone.”

They even left Miles and the driver in the company so that they could have time alone.

Meanwhile, Gigi announced her return to the entertainment industry. Moreover, she openly attended a press

conference for a high-end jewelry brand. She was even named the brand’s sole ambassador in this country.

As soon as Gigi appeared, reporters began to swarm toward her.

However, the questions they asked were not about her. Instead, it was about Edgar and Jean’s relationship.

“Do you know whether Mr. Royden has gotten back together with Ms. Eyer, his ex-wife?”

“Ms. Reece, is this why you choose to return to the entertainment industry? If Mr. Royden breaks up with you, will

your assets reduce significantly?”

“Ms. Reece, who was the man you were with when the ship went missing?”

Gigi wore sunglasses. The reporters continued to crowd around her.

“Ms. Reece, please answer our questions!”

Her manager, Linda, immediately rushed from the stage and pushed their microphones away.

“Gigi has just returned to work and is still unwell. She will receive an interview on another day.”

After saying that, she pulled Gigi away from the reporters.

Once they reached backstage, Linda said happily, “Gigi, you’re a genius in choosing this day to return to the

entertainment industry. You are more popular than the other celebrities here. Keep up the good work, and I will also

do my best to secure you a few movie roles.”

Gigi kept her sunglasses on and smirked. “Previously, Director Levett desperately wanted to collaborate with me.

I’m willing to see him.”

“Really? But he is infamous in the industry for being…”

A pervert. Furthermore, he had a particular preference for married actresses. If Gigi took the initiative to meet him,

he might do something to her.

Gigi chuckled. “Men are all the same. One has to satisfy them a little and leave them hanging for more. Then,

there’s nothing that one can’t get from them. Also, if those reporters bother me again, call the police.”

After saying that, Gigi walked outside and entered a van.

Linda followed after her. “Gigi, there’s something different about you.”

But she could not point out what exactly was different.

It felt like Gigi was even more daring than before.

Gigi narrowed her eyes slightly. She leaned into the car seat and did not say anything.

Once she arrived at Reece Residence, she shut herself in her room and refused to eat or drink anything.

She took off her sunglasses, revealing the apparent purple and green bruise at the corner of her eye. Furthermore,

there were whip marks on the skin below her shoulders.

“Edgar, Gigi. You two owe me. I will make you pay for the rest of your lives.”

Gigi looked at the hateful expression reflected in the mirror and pursed her lips.

Suddenly, a maid knocked on her door urgently.

“Miss, Mr. Reece has returned. He asked to see you.”

Gigi’s heart sank upon hearing her. There was no point hiding from the inevitable.

As soon as she walked into Sam’s study, he dragged her by her hair and slapped her twice. “How dare you return to

acting? Do you think you can get any movie roles? You have better serve Mr. Raben well tonight!”

“If he is unhappy with you and won’t sign a contract with Reece Group, you will regret it.”

Sam landed a kick on Gigi’s body.

“If I have known earlier, I wouldn’t have bought you. I should have gotten Jean. She would have been cleverer than

you.”

Gigi covered her face. Hatred grew in her eyes.

Do I have to lose to Jean even in this regard?

Gigi took a deep breath and looked up. She tried to appease him by speaking coquettishly, “Dad, don’t worry. I will

make sure Mr. Raben is satisfied with me.”

Sam looked at her acting coy and snorted.

He reached out and grabbed her chin. “That had better be the case. Otherwise, I’ll send you to…”

Gigi’s face turned even paler.

After Sam shoved her aside and left the study, she lay weakly on the floor and did not have any strength to move.

Tears flowed out of her dull and despondent eyes.

That night, Edgar was the one who should have boarded the ship with her. She would also have received the reward

she deserved.

However, Edbert sent a man to break into her room.

He even forced himself on her. Once the deed was done, Edbert instructed her to send the photos and messages.

Gigi curled up into a ball and kept pinching her wrist. “Don’t fall asleep!”
