Chapter 424

Edgar immediately shook his head and put the file aside, "I know as much as the police."

Mr. Jones coughed lightly, "The police are already working hard to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon" "I hope so too."

Edgar twitched the corners of his lips, "Also, I want to know if anyone else is paying attention to this matter besides me."

"Of course, this incident has already made it news wide. Although there were no casualties, there's some heavy players involved." When Mr.Jones mentioned this, a headache was brewing in him.

"For example?"

Edgar insisted while entirely disregarding his statements.

Mr. Jones frowned reluctantly, "Is this even in your business to know?"

"If you stay silent, I'll just take a wild guess. Don't hold me accountable if I act rashly and pose problems with the case' "Ugh..."

Mr. Jones shook his head and scowled, "Kid, you haven't changed. You're still an absolute headache."

"Then simply put me in the loop.I can contribute to solving the case."

He rubbed his neck, "And it will be easy for everyone"

"As you talk, I naturally assume that there are other parties with you."

Edgar stood up once his stance bored through Mr.Jones. He headed outside.

"Hey! Go easy on yourself. Don't get in the way."

He was unsure if Edgar heard him, though.

Officer Bunnings entered the room after observing Edgar leave, "This case, Mr. Jones, is pretty big. You shouldn't divulge this information to anyone outside the agency, don't you think?" In general, few individuals are aware of the truth.

Edgar is just a civilian. He can't enter and leave the police station openly.

The officer spoke gravely, "Don't question your superiors. Get that case handled."

Officer Bunnings had his suspicions.

"Yes, sir!"

When Edgar walked out of the gate of the police station, he immediately received a call from Miles.

"Edna Jadot was away on business when Miss Eyer went to see her at work. She was unable to meet up with her."

The similar thought may cross others' minds.

When this time passes, it will naturally come to nothing.

The man ordered, "Keep her safe."

He got in the vehicle, and an epiphany struck it. She anticipated others to do the same.

This was on purpose.

It was a deliberate scheme to signal to the others that she held evidence.

When another call came in, Edgar scowled and was just about to urge the driver to start driving.

An unsaved number.

This was odd as only a few knew his private number.

He picked up, "Hello."

Sherry Summer greeted warmly, "Hello Edgar, there is something I want to tell you face to face. Can we meet up?"

"Not interested"

Sherry Summer smirked, "What if it's about Gigi's whereabouts?"

Time was running out for Sherry Summer.

Her parents had flown in, especially for her marriage to Edgar, and their plane was about to touch down.

In no circumstances can they know that things were this uncontrolled.

Furthermore, there was no way to become involved in that situation if Edgar was at her side.

After a brief pause, the man demanded, "Location. Sherry sent him the address to the hotel and breathed a sigh of relief.

She inquired, "Is the room ready?"

"Miss, everything has been prepared according to your instructions. No one in the hotel will get out alive with that information" her assistant affirmed. Sherry hummed.

Her eyes scanned the main entrance of the hotel in the distance.

I only have one shot.

An hour later, Edgar arrived at the lobby.

He chuckled, "You mean, let me help you put on a play in front of your parents, pretending that we are dating?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Sherry Summer pursed her lips, and her face turned pale, "I have no choice but to ask you for help.I don't have many connections in New York and even fewer single men, so...please" "But why should I help you?"

The man played with the coffee cup with his slender fingers.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"If you think I'm here because of Gigi's whereabouts, you're wrong." He came for Jean.

This matter clearly belonged to Sherry Summer.

As Jean said, Gigi is under matters of the Eyer family.

Sherry didn't expect that from Edgar. She circled back to the subject, "Mr.Royden, I think we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. Help me once, and I will repay you tenfold." Sherry gestured at a plate of fruits.

Edgar eyed them. He couldn't have known.

Edgar couldn't have known that the fruit had been tampered with.

As long as her family accepts her ties, she doesn't need anything more than to have an affair with him.

Even the title was unnecessary for her.

Sherry pursed her lips in an effort to diffuse the situation, "It's okay if it's really difficult."She stepped back, assuming the man in front of her would adore her.

Without hesitation, Edgar leaned back and adjusted his tone, "Then let's talk about LKD"

"What?"

Sherry Summer didn't expect his next sentence at all.

This statement barred all her prepared justifications, defenses, and phrases that may have demonstrated her advantages. Someone was shooting shots of the two of them with a camera at a nearby table. However, it was not happening just to take a picture of any scrap of proof of their proximity.

Even so, Edgar glared icily at her.

Sherry was not the kind who would flirt. She noticed Edgar treated Jean differently than others, and she was no exception.

"Mr.Royden, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Edgar briefly checked his watch, "Let's cut to the chase since you stated your folks are on the way. You made a three million investment in LKD through the Pinnacle Group, supporting the growth of both LKD and JD Group simultaneously. Explain yourself."

Sherry's hands shook. She couldn't keep the coffee cup steady.

After pulling out a picture and squeezing his fingers, Edgar threw it on the table.

Sadie Shephard and Edna Jadot came to an understanding in private.

"But what you don't know is that the two of them have another purpose. What they need is Jean's design draft, and Jean's signing contract as a designer"

Sherry's face gradually turned pale.

"Miss Summer, you've lost over three million dollars. You should consider how to explain the money to your family before asking me to act with you. After all, you ought to exercise extreme caution as the illegitimate daughter of an impersonator

"You..."
