Chapter 106 - Eighty-Eight
LEO
I take in a deep breath and turn over my shoulder to look at Erwin leaning against the car and looking at me intently. There is a burning possessiveness in his eyes. He knows that I have to do something about this traitor of mine who is possibly involved with Jean. Someone who knows me too well... Someone I trust... But who? I will not know until I talk to Jean.
I enter the spacious lobby of the building. I never liked to visit Jean. I wrinkle my nose as I make my way up to Jean’s room. I got informed that Jean has come back to the company and so I am here to talk to him.
John has bought all the shares Jean held by blackmailing him. John dug out everything he could find about Jean. Even the matter that he got James out of jail illegally, we didn’t blackmail him with that since we already took care of that asshole.
I never knew Jean had so much dirt under his name. I knew that he had something but didn’t think that many things. He was a drug dealer. He had connections with mafias. He even smuggled money and whatnot. Well, I have connections with mafias too but it should be under wraps. No one should know.
Jean is leaving the company today and he has nothing to hold on to anymore. Not money, not his son, not Leon, not the Snow, and not even the traitor of mine. He is left with nothing today and I have made sure that he is completely defenseless when I strike. Erwin helped me. John helped me. I will thank them later when I get what I want.
My company.
I take in a deep breath and put a hand on my belly. It’s warm. My womb is swelled with Erwin’s child and there is a chance that this is a twin. A small smile spreads across my face at the thought that I am at last gonna have a peaceful life. With my husband and my kids. But before that, I have to push through the black stainless door before me and confront the reason for my endless struggle.
My fingers tighten around the doorknob before pushing through it. I don’t bother knocking as the office no longer belongs to Jean. I pause a little when I see Jean going around the room and looking for something so desperately as if his life depends on it. There is a crazed look on his face and it’s making my whole body knot with tension.
