Chapter 342 Nowhere to Be Found

How could he! As the car left her vision, Jean flung the sofa cushions aside. Why did he force her to do it? Even

though they were remarried, how could he do it? Would he only be satisfied if her life was destroyed again?

She looked at the food he prepared, feeling that it was ironic. In the car. Edgar was on the phone with Nathan.

“Edgar, Gigi is nowhere to be found this time. I think you should make a report now.” Nathan had sent a number of

people to search for her but to no avail.

They couldn’t find a single trace of Gigi. She would be missing for more than forty-eight hours soon. “Search

again.” Edgar’s expression hardened as he spun the steering wheel. “If we don’t find her by tonight, I’ll go to her

family home.”

“Do you think that Sam Reece hid her somewhere?”

Nathan made the bold guess but changed his mind. “He wouldn’t be that cruel, right?” Those insignificant families

could do anything to save their family business.

It wasn’t completely implausible. On top of that, Gigi wasn’t Sam’s biological daughter. Edgar hadn’t told Nathan

about that fact. “Right. How did talking with Jean go?” Nathan was curious.

“Not well.” Edgar wouldn’t have put in that much effort for any woman before this. But he messed up before Jean

this time. Not only did he fail to figure out her thoughts, but he also laid his plans out in the open.

It was taboo on the negotiation table. Yet he committed the mistake. He rubbed his forehead as the traffic light

turned green. “I’m not sure either.” Whether Jean will agree or…

He had only realized that the only way he could make her stay was with threats. In any case, the odds were not in

his favor. He wasn’t sure how long he could keep her from leaving.

“To think that I would hear you say that in this lifetime…” Nathan sighed. “If only you knew this would happen

before treating the Eyer family in that way. Your relationship with Jean wouldn’t be this difficult to fix if it wasn’t for

that incident with Gary Eyer.”

Edgar frowned. “Do not bring that up anymore.” He and Nathan were the only ones who knew the truth about what

had happened.

He had no intention of telling Jean either. It would only bring her sorrow.

At Eyer Residence’s living room.

Ben told Jean about Gigi’s disappearance.

“But Sam hasn’t reported that his daughter has disappeared. He has been going back and forth from the company

to the law firm. It seems he’s raising money.”

Ben was perplexed.

“Could it be that he’s so busy to the point that he couldn’t care less about Gigi?”

After all, an apple never falls far from the tree.

Gigi wouldn’t be much different from the person who brought her up.

Jean was nestled among the cushions on the sofa. She spoke up after a moment of silence. “I think I failed as a

sister. I’ve always known how Gigi is. Maybe I’ve been deluding myself all this time.”

Gigi wouldn’t be happy if she knew the truth about her identity. She would be distressed and desperate, just as Jean

was.

“Jeannie, you did not cause this situation to happen.”

She hummed in reply and bit her lip. “I was thinking of meeting her sometime and talking things out. Sounds like a

useless plan now.”

She would never agree to Edgar’s suggestion.

Ben noticed that something wasn’t right with her tone.

“Jeannie, you must tell me about your plans. I’ll help you in one way or another. You’ll be less burdened too.”

She hummed again.

It was true that Ben’s help allowed her plans to go smoothly. But the rest was up to her now.

“Ben, I’ll treat you to a meal after everything ends.”

Jean pulled the phone from her ear and called another number right away.

“Where’s Gigi?”

Winnie, on the other end of the line, was taken aback. She did not expect a call from Jean at that crucial moment.

The Reece family was in disorder. Since early in the morning, countless people have come to the house. Sam’s

collection of antiques and calligraphy drawings was taken away.

The spacious living room was bare.

Winnie herself had started transferring some assets behind the scenes. She quickly dove into her room when Jean

called, worried that the maids would overhear the conversation.

“What would you call me for? How would I know?!” Winnie lowered her voice.

“Don’t worry about transferring the family’s assets. Even if Sam Reece is going bankrupt, it won’t happen as quickly

as you think.” Jean would have been able to guess Winnie’s actions even with her eyes closed.

Winnie furrowed her forehead.

“Anyway, I don’t know where she is now.” Winnie began wondering why Jean was worried about Gigi.

“Alright then. I’ll tell you Sam’s private overseas account if you help me out.”

“That’s impossible. Don’t try to trick me. I would know if such a thing exists.” She replied without missing a beat.

How would she, the one staying in the house all this time, know less than Jean did?

Yet that was the reality.

“I’m the one who exposed the affair with Quinn Snow. I’m giving you a chance to work with me. If you’re not willing

to, I’ll just find another person. After all, she’s not the only lover he has.”

“Don’t!”

Winnie immediately admitted she was wrong.

“What do you want me to do?”

Needless to say, she was the bait to locate Gigi.

Jean had decided that she would neither have any contact with Gigi in the future nor be involved in the

entanglements between Gigi and Andy.

But she wanted to make sure that Gigi was safe, at least.

When Jean finished speaking, Winnie bit her inner lip and hesitated. “Sam might not reveal his true colors even if I

do everything as you said.”

If they failed, Winnie would have a tough life ahead of her.

“It’s up to you if you want to do it. That’s all.” Jean put her phone down. A message from Winnie popped up on the

screen soon after.

You must keep your word.

Jean smiled. A leopard never changes its spots.

Winnie would betray Sam in the same way she had betrayed her father.

As for Sam, he had a taste of a life of luxury with his treacherous act. He would do anything to keep his life the way

it was.

Jean needed to wait for him to take the bait.

At night on the same day, a sedan left the Reece Residence.

Sam urged the driver, “Faster!”

An unconscious Gigi, drugged by Sam, was in the car with them.

“Don’t blame me, my daughter. I had no other choice. Blame it on Edgar and Jean. They are the cruel ones, leaving

me with no other options.”
