Chapter 407
Jeffery thought that Jayden had betrayed Jolene, so he could not let Matthew do so.
He could not allow Jolene's son to get close to Victoria.
Marina sighed. She knew what Jeffery was thinking. She was worried that the situation would become more serious and would destroy the close relationship between Jeffery and Matthew.
“Do you want to ask Eddie whether he revealed the information?” Marina asked.
They should find out the truth of the matter, otherwise Matthew might misunderstand Jeffery and it will form a grudge between them.
Jeffery pressed his eyebrows with fingers, “You make a call to Eddie and tell him that I want to meet him.”
Jeffery intended to ask Eddie some questions. This matter hurt Dolores a lot after all. Fortunately, Matthew and Dolores kept their marriage secret, so fewer people knew that they had married. Dolores's matter did not affect him much. Otherwise, the situation could get out of his hand.
Marina walked to the door and opened it. At the same time, Sean stood in front of the door and wanted to knock on the door. Both of them met each other coincidentally, “Mom.”
“Didn't you say you wouldn't come back in the next few days?” Marina asked.
Sean said with a smile, “I've changed my mind. By the way, Eddie is here.”
Marina took a glance at Sean's shoulder and saw Eddie and Chloe behind him. She was going to call Eddie, but Eddie was here, so she did not have to make a call. Marine took Sean by his hand and walked out of the room, and looked at Eddie, “Jeffery is in the study. He has something to say to you, and he asks you to go into the study now.”
Eddie nodded, and he immediately knew what Jeffery wanted to say to him. Eddie had prepared the countermeasure when he disclosed the information at the time.
“Chloe, you should be mature and steady,” Eddie looked stern, and he admonished Chloe not to speak carelessly in front of Sean.
Chloe understood Eddie's intentions, and she nodded, “I understand.”
Then, Eddie walked into the study at ease and closed the door. Jeffery got up and pulled a chair for Eddie. Both of them sat in front of the window.
“I'm sure you've seen the news on the Internet, right?” Eddie spoke first.
Jeffery nodded honestly.
“I came to you for this matter,” Eddie said, and he looked at Jeffery with his face clear, “It is my fault for not doing well in this matter.”
Jeffery was stunned because he thought that it was the Herbert family who did it. How could it be Eddie?
“Well, I knew the Herbert family is eager to revenge Dolores. I shouldn't suggest you use Sampson to deal with Dolores at the time. I heard that Sampson was very fond of Dolores and the Herbert family felt resentment against Dolores. So they gave wide publicity of this matter, and I knew it was the Herbert family who did it. I didn't care about it when Landon said this at the time. I thought it was just a big talk, and I didn't expect that he dared to do it,” Eddie felt guilty and said.
Soon he changed his subject and said, “You and I enlisted the armed forces at the same time. Our friendship is a forget-the-age relationship now. I don't hide my mind from you. Now the matter played out like this, and we can only push the boat with the current.”
Eddie made a clean breast of everything. Jeffery could not say anything more, but he started to feel hatred against the Herbert family.
Jeffery looked at Eddie, “Do you mean...”
Eddie nodded, “It's time to put pressure on Matthew now.”
Jeffery hesitated. He would not hesitate to put pressure on Matthew if Dolores was not pregnant. However, Dolores had conceived Matthew's baby, and Jeffery was afraid that it was difficult for Matthew to compromise with him.
“Why, are you embarrassing now?” Eddie noticed that Jeffery felt embarrassed, and he persuaded, “Do we still have a way to escape? I've handed over my beloved and only daughter.”
Jeffery understood that there was no way back to go.
He could not disappoint Eddie as well.
“I'll go meet him later,” Jeffery clenched his hands into fists.
“Does Noah know about this?” Eddie thought it was something fishy when Sean suddenly went back home. Sean seldom went back home when he grew up. He suddenly went back home at this time, and Eddie felt something wrong with it.
That was why Eddie asked Jeffery about it.
Jeffery shook his head, “I didn't tell him. He has a good relationship with Matthew. Matthew helped Noah a lot when Noah didn't return home. That's why he can live leisurely outside. He is closer to Matthew than me.”
He did not dare to let Sean know about it.
Jeffery understood and was glad that Sean returned home in time. Fortunately, Chloe did not go out with Sean. Jeffery did not know whether Chloe could come back to them if she went out with Sean.
Eddie asked, “You didn't tell Noah. What about Matthew? Will he tell this to Noah?”
It was no harm to Matthew if Sean knew this matter after all. Matthew could also take advantage of Sean to support his side. novelbin
Jeffery answered confidently, “Matthew will not tell him.”
He expected that Matthew would not place Sean in a difficult position to tell Sean what he had done.
Eddie nodded and felt at ease if Matthew did not tell Sean about this matter since it was good that fewer people knew about this. Eddie did not want to create another obstacle. He stood up, “I'll go back first.”
Jeffery said, “Let me send you out.”
Both of them walked out of the study together. Marina had cut the fruit and placed it on the coffee table in the living room. She saw them walked out of the study and said, “Please stay for lunch.”
“I'm sorry to turn you down. My wife should already prepare for lunch in the house,” Eddie looked at Chloe and said, “Chloe, we should go now.”
Chloe got up and followed behind Eddie to leave.
Sean could not help but be curious about the subject they had discussed. He asked indifferently with a demanding tone, “What are you guys plotting?”
Sean tried to get words out of Chloe in the living room when Eddie and Jeffery were in the study. However, Chloe was not as simple as in Eddie's house at the time. She did not say anything to answer
his questions. It proved that they had something to hide from him.
Jeffery was unhappy, “Who do you think you are talking to?”
“I have a good attitude. What are you and Eddie doing furtively and in an underhand way?” Sean had a guess, but he did not want to admit it. Dolores's matter had made a lot of noise. Ordinary people could not do it. They also had to consider the Nelson family and the Harris family, even if they wanted to do so.
However, now...
Matthew asked him to lure Chloe to go out of the house. Eddie and Jeffery talked secretly. The matter seemed to be complicated, but it was simple. It was Eddie and Jeffery who did this. The reason why Matthew asked him to lure Chloe was to threaten Eddie and Jeffrey.
However, he did not know why Eddie and Jeffery wanted to do it.
Jeffery frowned and was disgusted by Sean's words. He thought, “Doing something furtively?”
“You bastard! We were talking about business matters. So am I still have to inform you? You're not a kid anymore. Don't you know how to respect people? China is known as the nation of etiquette. Look at yourself. Do you even know what etiquette is? Humph, a star? A star is only an entertainer in ancient times. You're still delighted about it. You're such a low fellow!”
Sean listened to his words until the blue veins popped out on his forehead, and he clenched his hands into fists.
Marina listened to them by the side, and it made her shudder. She held Sean back and said, “Noah, don't be angry about it. Your father is always short-tempered.”
Sean sneered and pointed at Jeffery, “When did he ever take a fancy on me? Did he ever like the things I did? Just an entertainer? Well, I'm going to be the most popular entertainer in China. I'll see how does he get with me!”
“Noah, how can you talk to your father like that,” Marina pulled him back, “He is your father. Don't be so stubborn. You guys always quarreled every time met. You guys don't look like a father and a son.”
Marina's eyes were swimming with tears. She was sad about them. Sean and Eddie were like enemies rather than like a father and a son.
