Chapter 345 No Longer Soft-hearted

Early the next morning, the Reeces’ bank accounts were all seized by the bank. It was published in the news that

Sam Reece owed the bank a lot of money. There was a major reshuffling of the shares in Reece Group, and Edgar

Royden became the largest shareholder of the group, and Serena Campbell was second only to him.

Even if Sam sold off all his shares, he wouldn’t be able to pay back what he owed to the bank. In the span of one

night, Sam had gone bankrupt.

An hour before the whole incident went down, Winnie had left Reece Residence. She did not bring much money with

her because there was not much money left in the Reece household for her to take, but she had taken all the

jewelry Sam had given her.

Sam had planned to sell the jewelry off to buy a ticket out of the country. In the end, it was all just wishful thinking.

The Reece Residence help had all left.

When Gigi woke up, it was like the sky had fallen.

“Dad, what happened to our house?”

Everything had been fine up to last night. How did the house turn into such a mess? Someone had even smashed

the glass in the living room.

“Dad, didn’t you say someone would help us? What are we going to do now?”

Sam sat dejectedly. He raised his head when he heard Gigi’s voice. He rushed over to her and grabbed onto her

hand tightly. “Let me tell you. You have to use whatever method to get back to Edgar. Do you understand?”

“What?”

Gigi’s hand hurt from the force Sam was exerting on it.

“Go get change and follow me to Royden Residence!”

Sam brought her to the car when she was still in a daze. Unlike before, she was not dressed head-to-toe in brands.

She only had on a pair of simple earrings.

Anything that looked of slight value had been taken away by the help.

“When you see Edgar later, you must apologize to him and beg for his forgiveness. I don’t care if you beg for death

or if you act coy. You must stay at Royden Residence. Can you remember that?” Sam kept urging while his eyes

kept darting back and forth hurriedly.

Gigi chewed on her lip and said with a soft voice, “Dad, Edgar knows about everything. He won’t want me. Don’t

worry, I can still go to Andy. He’s been discharged, and he hasn’t committed a deathly sin. I’m sure he’ll be back in

Royden Group soon.”

“Him? His situation is not any better than mine. Don’t forget, he almost killed Edgar. Knowing Edgar’s personality,

do you think he will keep him in the company?” Sam said with a scoff. In his mind, he thought that Andy might face

a worse outcome than him.

He still had Gigi as his last card, but he only had one chance left. He definitely could not fail.

“Also, if Edgar asks you what you were doing at that clubhouse so late at night, tell him it was all Winnie. She’s run

anyways, so he can’t question her.”

“Will he believe that?” Gigi said with wrinkled brows.

“I don’t care if he doesn’t believe it. You can only survive if you stay in Royden Residence.” A flash of sinister

manipulation flitted across his eyes. This was his last chance.

Who would have known that something like that would happen last night? But I got to know the true face of that

b*tch, Serena Campbell. How dare she lie to me! Just wait till I get back to my former glory; the first thing I’ll do is

crush Ranford International.

When Sam and Gigi arrived at Reece Residence, they were told that Edgar wasn’t there. They could only make their

way to Royden Group, but when they got there, they were stopped by security.

“Apologies, Mr. Royden is in a meeting right now.”

“What time will he be done? We must see Mr. Royden today. There’s something very important to discuss.” Sam

said deliberately.

The receptionist looked at them and flashed them a service smile, “I’m not too sure. You are welcome to wait

here.”

Jean had just gotten to the office to deal with some loose ends when she received Serena’s call, asking her to come

to Royden Group for a talk.

“Ms. Campbell, surely you’ll keep your word, right?” Jean flashed Rachel a look, and Rachel immediately started to

search for the news of the day.

There didn’t seem to be anything big happening at Ranford International.

By logic, Jean shouldn’t be regretting presenting Serena with such a big present, but she had miscalculated one

thing, people would crave more when their appetites awaken.

On the other end of the call, Serena smiled, “How could that be? I just think that the direction this proposal is going

in is too good. Since you wish to collaborate, we should all work harder. Then, we can all profit more from it.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, Mr. Royden contacted me before and said that he was interested in this project. He also agreed to invest in it.

I can’t possibly let this opportunity to somebody else, can I?” Serena said with a smirk.

It was a golden opportunity for Ranford International to collaborate with the Royden Group. It wasn’t weird for

Serena to have a change of heart.

Jean could only frown and reply, “Alright then, I’ll head over right now.” But her heart was pounding hard in her

chest.

Edgar probably wouldn’t want the three of them to collaborate after how Jean had treated him last night. It was

more likely that Eyer Group would be pushed out of the picture once Royden Group joined.

Rachel had also done a bit of searching and reported to Jean, “Ms. Eyer, it doesn’t seem like anything is happening

at Ranford International.”

“Pack up. We’re going to Royden Group.” She said and then stood up to leave. Since Edgar wanted to fight, she

would put up her best fight.

She just so happened to bump into Sam and Gigi when she walked into Royden Group’s lobby with Rachel. She

furrowed her brows and was about to go around them.

“Dad, it’s Jean!”

Gigi blocked Jean’s path and glared at her with hatred in her eyes, “What are you doing here?”

I can’t believe she hasn’t learned her lesson after being dragged to that kind of place last night. And she’s still here

with Sam… Jean thought, her eyes frosty. Jean was angry, but Gigi had brought all that upon herself. She could

never wake a person pretending to be asleep.

“Me. Eyer is here to talk business with Mr. Royden.” Rachel announced when she saw Jean not saying anything.

Although she had never heard Jean talk about her personal business, she had seen a lot of news. She didn’t know

about anything else, but she knew that her boss wasn’t one to be involved in a tangled mess.

Gigi shifted her glare to Rachel, “I was talking to her. What has that got to do with you? You’re just a dog following

its owner. I’ll teach you a lesson if you speak out of line again.”

“How are you scolding someone else?”

Rachel did not think that a princess like Gigi could be so course mouthed. No wonder she wasn’t good enough for

Edgar.

“If you want to fight, come at me. Don’t scold my employees. Otherwise, I will sue you.” Jean’s eyes were fierce as

she said this. She would no longer be soft-hearted toward Gigi.

“You!” Gigi gritted her teeth. She was about to say something else when the elevator doors opened. Edgar, Miles,

and a few other managers walked out of the elevator. When Gigi saw that, she immediately put on a pitiful act.

“Edgar, I have something to say to you. Could you spare me some time? I won’t take up too much of it.”
