Chapter 58 Conspiracy Theory

Feeling guilty, the woman avoided Jean’s gaze. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand!” “It’s

okay. I won’t hold it against you, but please tell the mastermind that I’m not an easy target to bully.

She’ll definitely be getting it from me.”

It must be either Gigi or Ally. With that, Jean retracted her hands from that woman. She shot a glance

toward the crowd before walking toward the hotel under the surprised gazes of the crowd.

The woman was momentarily stunned. When she returned to her senses, she quickly ran to the other

end of the beach. However, not long after she started walking, several hotel employees blocked her

way. “Please follow us.”

“What? Let me go!” As long as I don’t admit it, Jean won’t have any evidence. That was what she

thought, but unexpectedly, she was brought into a dark room, and she had no idea who was in front of

her. “Who instructed you to do that?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about!” she grumbled. At this moment, she could only see a blurred

figure at the window in front of her. In the next second, the lights were suddenly switched on. Edgar

looked at her coldly. “Do you not understand?”

The woman – Rebecca Clarke – gave a jolt. Of course, she knew him and Gigi. After all, she was Gigi’s

makeup artist. Facing Edgar’s sharp gaze, she fell to her knees. “M-Mr. Royden.”

She was trembling as she kneeled before him. Under such circumstances, she had no other way apart

from telling him the plan. It turned out that both Gigi and Ally had given her some money to frame Jean.

As soon as Jean fell into the sea, there was no chance that she could get out alive. Since she was a

foreigner in this country, she had no friends of family to turn to for help, so the police and the embassy

would not even care to investigate.

It was a foolproof plan to kill her off. Upon hearing that, Edgar got up. “Jean will look for you later. You

have to tell her the truth, but you must not mention about meeting me here. Got it?”

“Yes!” Rebecca nodded hastily.

With a raise of his hand, someone took her out. Staring into the dark night, he thought, I won’t allow

someone else to kill my prey!

As soon as Jean returned to the hotel, she immediately went to the lobby and inquired about the

woman’s identity using a simple excuse. Since experiencing the downfall of the Eyer family, she was

more vigilant.

All this while, she had the feeling that her father’s spirit had been protecting her.

“Miss, your friend is staying in room 309.”

“Thank you.”

She retracted her gaze before walking into the elevator quickly.

At this very moment, Rebecca was waiting in her room. When she heard the knocks on her door, her

heart beat sped up. Edgar’s predictions were right. Jean really came to look for me. Ally is not a match

at all for both of them.

After Jean asked her a few questions, she followed Edgar’s instructions and pretended to tell her the

truth reluctantly.

“Ms. Eyer, I was blinded back then; it wasn’t my intention to do so. Can you forgive me?” Rebecca

asked in a low voice.

The main point was that she was just another person’s pawn.

Jean nodded lightheartedly. “Sure.”

“Thanks!”

“But you have to do something for me. Otherwise, I will hand over the recording of our conversation just

now to Ally.” With that, Jean flashed her an innocent smile, sending a chill down her spine.

Jean is even more scheming than Ally and Gigi!

“What do you want me to do?”

Rebecca gulped when she heard Jean’s plans, feeling sorry for Gigi at the same time.

“I agree; so can you delete the recording? If Gigi knows that I betrayed her, my career would be

ruined.”

All this while, Gigi had not been treating her well; she often ordered Rebecca around as if the latter was

her maid.

It was because of that, that she easily told Jean the truth.

“Don’t worry. After the plan succeeds, I will delete the conversation.” With that, Jean walked out of the

room.

I don’t have much time left, so I need to prepare myself. My initial plan to settle down at MON & Co.

before I slowly take revenge has now changed. Since Gigi started it first, she shouldn’t blame me for

this. After all, her intention to kill me has completely betrayed her.

Jean had a clear goal, and she wanted it to succeed. The person Gigi cares about the most is Edgar,

isn’t it?

She ordered a bouquet of flowers and a piece of cake from the hotel’s front desk. Then, she bought a

bright red dress.

It was cheap, but the effect was astonishing.

Jean was already quite fair, but when she loosened her hair and wore that dress, it clearly revealed her

collarbone and accentuated her waistline, showing her curvy figure. Then, she put on a pair of high

heels before walking into the elevator.

She walked around the 15th floor where Gigi and Edgar were staying. Then, she went to the 8th floor,

where Miles was staying. After making several rounds, she finally met her target when she was getting

tired.

“Miles, are you going to Mr. Royden’s room?”

Miles was stunned to see her there, and he was unsure if he should get into the elevator.

“Ms. Eyer?”

Jean smiled at him. “Get in, quick. I’m heading upstairs.”

“Oh, sure.” With that, he quickly got into the elevator.

She explained, “Our designer ordered this bouquet of flowers. Don’t they look nice?”

Miles agreed with her and walked out of the elevator as soon as the door opened.

She deliberately walked closely to him. Gigi, you must be watching over Edgar’s room all the time,

aren’t you?

Sure enough, as soon as Miles knocked on Edgar’s door, Gigi stuck her head out of the door.

“Jean? Why are you here?”

Jean flashed her superior acting skills, pretending to be guilty of being caught doing something she

shouldn’t have done. “I-I’m just passing by.”

With that, she clutched the flowers closer to her chest and smiled at Miles. “See you around.”

He nodded out of politeness.

Glaring at her leaving figure, Gigi’s nails dug into the door.

Did Edgar ask Miles to send her the flowers and cake?

With that possibility in mind, she walked ahead of Miles as soon as he opened the door.

“Edgar, have you been working all this while?”

At this moment, he was still in a video conference. When she barged into the room, he quickly stopped

her.

“Wait for a moment,” he instructed in a low voice.

However, overwhelmed by fury, Gigi ignored him and charged into the room.

“Miles, take her out.”
