Chapter 119 I Can’t Hear That Well

Jean Eyer furrowed her brow. “I don’t care too much about things that don’t have anything to do with me.”

Maybe this was why she was never much of a gossipmonger. If it wasn’t for Sally Lance who fed her buzz through the grapevine, Jean Eyer might not have known today about Sky Wilton being in the hospital.

Sally Lance looked at her and after a while said, “Jean Eyer, I envy you.”

“You envy me?” Jean Eyer frowned and smiled lightly while shaking her head. “Envying Kellan Lincoln is better than envying me.”

Her cellphone vibrated with a buzz. It was a text message from the debt collection company.

Jean Eyer glanced at it and sent over the money that Winnie Campbell transferred to her. She also added, ‘I’ve discussed this with your boss. There are changes in the total amount of the debt.’

She wanted to pay this sum back as soon as possible and wipe clean all relationships she had with that man. Her days were filled with hardship. What was worth envying?

“I’m leaving. You guys go ahead.” Jean Eyer picked up her bag and left quickly. Sally Lance watched the leaving figure, and her gaze flickered.

Kellan Lincoln came back with food and when he noticed that Jean Eyer had left, he said regretfully, “I thought I could treat you both to a meal today.”

Sally Lance patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry, there’ll be more opportunities.”

Kellan Lincoln saw her innocent smile and asked her in a low voice, “Don’t you think the distance between us and Jean Eyer is further apart?”

Sally Lance was startled for a moment before taking the ice cream from his hand. “Eat up, or it’ll melt soon.”

Each mouthful was an icy, frosty feeling. She said while walking, “Jean Eyer has always been someone from a different world than us.”

Kellan Lincoln heard this, and all of a sudden, he didn’t know what to say.

Sally Lance looked at him and smiled. “Jean Eyer will go back to the world she came from sooner or later. With her abilities, I believe she can do it.”

She wouldn’t criticize Jean Eyer behind her back like people at the office. The respect and admiration she had for Jean Eyer were written in her eyes, not hidden at all.

In the afternoon that same day, Jean Eyer received a notification from the company. She would replace Sky Wilton as a newcomer and join next week’s big show.

“Me?”

“Yes, this instruction came from the company’s senior management. You can report to the venue early tomorrow morning.”

This big show was MON & Co.’s annual show which was the most popular.

A lot of jewelry and big brands were displayed here.

By joining an event of this scale, she easily got an admission ticket to the Jewelry Design Hall.

Jean Eyer was so excited she couldn’t sleep well the whole night. People like Gigi Reece and Sky Wilton slipped her mind.

Early the next day, she rushed to the venue according to the notified time.

One of the staff, Elisa, had been waiting for her at the entrance. “Are you Ms. Eyer? Please come in.”

Jean Eyer nodded lightly and followed her into the elevator.

Immediately after that, her hands were stuffed with the layout flyer of the day and a cup of coffee.

“Some of our other guests have arrived. Please come in.”

When the door opened, Jean Eyer saw an extremely beautiful booth that extended from the entrance to the stage inside.

There was some jewelry displayed. Each one was a high-end item from each season of MON & Co.

Items of significant value were on the exhibition area of the second floor.

Those who were invited to a big show like this were either famous business people or people from the high-end fashion world. Ordinary people weren’t even qualified to receive the invitation.

Jean Eyer had seen these important people before, but at the moment, after going through those times, she still felt some emotion standing where she was.

“Jean Eyer.”

Someone called out her name and waved from the second floor. It was Monica Weller.

Jean Eyer nodded her thanks to the staff.

“You shouldn’t have laid a hand on Jean Eyer.” Zoe Hadly held back her tears and said in a low voice.

“Ha…”

Sky Wilton spat on her face. “I’m sick of playing with you, so I wanted something new. Couldn’t I do that?”

Zoe Hadly was pushed back by him. She fell powerlessly to the floor.

Her palm was cut. Bearing the pain, she stood up slowly. “Your medicine is in the thermos cup. I’m going to leave.”

After Zoe Hadly left, the door was opened again.

“What did you leave behind? Can’t you grow a brain!”

“Mr. Wilton, Mr. Royden wants to see you.” Miles pushed, and Sky Wilton fell from the hospital bed and was dragged out.

The big corridor was empty.

Sky Wilton was struggling and swearing, but when he was thrown at Edgar Royden’s feet, it was like someone was choking him. He couldn’t say a word.

“I think I’ve told those from MON & Co. not to lay a hand on Jean Eyer.”

Sky Wilton clenched his fist and laughed dryly. “I just came back from overseas. I didn’t know about Mr. Royden and your ex-wife’s…”

Before he could finish, the back of his hand was stomped on.

He ground his teeth in pain.

“So, do you know now?”

Edgar Royden’s voice came from the top of his head.

Sky Wilton’s right hand started to become numb. He couldn’t pull it back no matter what. The pain went straight to his brain and he immediately shouted, “I’m sorry, Mr. Royden. It’s my fault. Please… please let me go.”

“My hearing isn’t that good, I can’t hear well.” Edgar Royden’s eyes were icy cold, and he increased the pressure of his foot.
