Chapter 715: This is incredible.

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

“Boss Bear, a name I’m sure you’ve heard before.” Zhao Yuan Yuan asked herself, obviously not expecting Sammy Jones to answer the sentence she just made either.
As a lawyer by profession, Sammy Jones had gotten used to being in danger. She remained motionless, only waiting for Zhao Yuanyuan to continue her words. In her heart, the suspicions were rising.
Does Zhao Yuan Yuan also know the name Boss Bear? Just heard about it, or, is there a crossroads between them as well?
“The list that Joey Xu sent to my dad, I was the one who revealed it to Boss Xiong!” Zhao Yuanyuan said this with a few moments of triumph.
Sammy Jones looked cold, “Why are you doing this?”
“Because I can make Joey Xu and you come to beg me! From my brother-in-law, I heard that Boss Xiong was looking for someone to launder money, however, Boss Xiong didn’t dare to mess with Joey Xu at first. Luckily, Joey Xu’s disclosure of the list really pissed him off. So, the money laundering thing, he naturally want to pull Joey Xu down. Besides …”
Zhao Yuanyuan paused for a moment, looking at Sammy Jones’ gradually ugly expression, she smiled a little, ”I promised Xiong that if Joey Xu’s money laundering went wrong and implicated Xiong, I would definitely find a way to get him out as well, that’s why he had no qualms about handing over this matter to Joey Xu. you are also well aware of my dad’s power now, and, lately Thanks to Joey Xu’s blessing, my dad has moved up another level. It’s easy to get Joey Xu out of the picture with just a quick call. Moreover, I have already gotten my dad’s approval in advance.”
Sammy Jones was vaguely listening.
“So, from start to finish, you arranged all these things? You set up a trap for Joey Xu to fall into. And Boss Xiong is a pawn in your hand?”
Zhao Yuanyuan smugly bristled, “Even though Joey Xu is very shrewd, but, still, he fell for my trick?”
Speaking here, he coldly gouged out Sammy Jones again, “The blame lies in the fact that you were too much in the way! If it wasn’t for Boss Bear catching his soft underbelly, he wouldn’t have fallen for this.”
Sammy Jones thought it was funny.
She was clearly the one who caused all of this, and she had the chutzpah to shift the blame to someone else.
“How did your heart grow at your young age to be so vicious?”
In response to Sammy Jones’ accusations, Zhao Yuan Yuan was not the least bit impressed, “This was all forced on me by you guys! At that time when I almost died, did he ever look at me squarely? I wouldn’t have done this to him if he’d given me even the slightest bit of attention!”
“You’re getting back at him?” Sammy Jones looked at the agitation and hatred in her eyes.
“Exactly! It’s revenge! But not just revenge, I want him!”
Zhao Yuan Yuan looked at Sammy Jones, “Right now, your presence can’t give him any help. So, you break up with him immediately! I promise, in less than two days, I can get him out.”
Sammy Jones did not doubt Zhao Jiangyan’s ability. To be honest, after mixing in this circle for a long time, she saw it all. Power is a treasure in your hands. Isn’t the last Sifang Group case the best example?
If anything happens to Joey Xu, Zhao Jiangyan will surely be his best salvation.
But …
She was not happy to end it like this.
Sammy Jones glanced at Zhao Yuanyuan, “You don’t love him, why make yourself look like a devil because of a momentary reluctance in your heart?”
Zhao Yuanyuan froze slightly before retorting, “Don’t flatter yourself! Who says I don’t love him?”
“What do you love about him? Or rather, what part of you reflects love for him? If you truly loved him, would you have let him fall into a trap, would you have let him carry such a heavy sin today?”
Jo grunted, “This isn’t the time for me to prove anything to you, it’s the time for you to prove that you love him.”
She pushed Sammy Jones’ cell phone, back in front of her, “I thought you said you loved him. He can be spared a lot of jail time if you break up with him. That’s the only thing you can do for him now!”
Sammy Jones looked at Zhao Yuanyuan, only to see that pretty little face vaguely distorted and her eyes even more aggressive.
She just sat there, not moving.
“You’re a lawyer, you should know very well that if this matter has already been filed, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to save him when the time comes.”
Jo Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows without haste.
Sammy Jones hesitated, but in the end, he still reached over and held the cell phone. Zhao Yuanyuan’s eyes brightened slightly, but the next instant …
Instead, she simply tucked her cell phone away in her bag.
Zhao Yuanyuan’s face changed.
“You …”
Sammy Jones said, “Since he’s already been taken by the police, he won’t be able to see any messages I send him.”
“So, you don’t want to save Joey Xu! Good, then you don’t blame me for being rude!”
Sammy Jones stood up, “Know what the teacher handed us in our first law class?”
“…” Jo frowned, wondering what the point was of her saying this to herself at this moment.
“Everyone is equal before the law.” Sammy Jones took a deep breath and spoke as calmly as he could, “If he is really laundering black money and violating the law, then … the only thing I can do is to be his lawyer and make a final plea for him!”
After saying that, she turned around and left, no longer paying attention to Zhao Yuanyuan’s face changing again and again behind her.
Pushing open the door to the café, Sammy Jones stepped out of it. A cool breeze hit her face, surprisingly making her feel a little prickly.
Just now, in front of Zhao Yuanyuan, she was unwilling to give in, so she tried to calm herself to make herself say those words, but the panic in her heart was only clear to herself.
She didn’t want Joey Xu to go to jail!
Even if everyone is equal before the law, however, she is not a saint, she has selfishness.
Riding in a cab, she buried her face in her hands in agony. Over and over again, she dialed Joey Xu, but …
On the other end of the line, there was no response from him to himself.
Joey Xu…
Now, where the hell is he?
Sammy Jones went back to the lawyer’s office, after all, and turned out that newspaper to read it carefully. After reading it, she was a little bitter. All of these things are just speculations from the outside world, and no one knows how the situation really is. And Joey Xu is now under police control, she definitely has no way to get the exact situation from it.
“Xiaoyu, someone is looking for you!”
Just as she was now in her own thoughts, someone at the front desk called to her.
She looked up from her newspaper to see a familiar figure standing in the doorway. Surprisingly, it was Goodburn?
She stood up almost immediately, her face, which had been dull and lifeless, instantly gilded with light.
“Good Book!” She walked over quickly and lowered her voice, “How’s Joey Xu?”
“Don’t you panic just yet, sir is perfectly fine. Can we find a quiet place to talk?” Goodburn and Sammy Jones said.
“Sure, you come with me.” Sammy Jones led Goodbourne toward the café seating on the terrace.
As soon as the two arrived at a quiet place, Sammy Jones immediately asked, “Where’s Joey Xu? Where is he now? Is he okay?”
In front of Goodben, she had no need to hide her worry and concern for Joey Xu at all, much less the trepidation in her heart.
“Miss Jones, just calm down. Mr. Xu will be fine, I promise you.”
“Really?” The look in Yoshimoto’s eyes was firm, and it settled Sammy Jones a little inside, but, “So what’s going on now?”
“The reason for this is something that can never be revealed because of the confidentiality agreement I signed with someone earlier. However, the reason I came over today was because Mr. Xu specially explained it, knowing that you would be worried. By the way, has Ms. Zhao come to see you?”
“Jo Langland didn’t, but Jo Yuanyuan came by.” Sammy Jones returned.
“What did she say?”
Sammy Jones then informs Goodben about the trap set by Jo Yuanyuan and about Boss Bear. Incidentally there was the threat of breaking up with her.
“Indeed.” Yoshimoto wasn’t surprised, but instead said, “Miss Jones, you don’t need to worry about Mr. Xu’s business anymore. How to solve it, Mr. Xu will have a solution. And … before he came, he asked me to pass on a message to you: he has never changed and will never change.”
With the assurance of the good book, Sammy Jones was actually quite settled in her heart. However, not being able to see Joey Xu and not being able to get news from him, she was also not at ease. She was worried that it was Goodben who comforted her.
Two days later.
Early morning.
She made herself breakfast, sat down, and was just about to start eating. Only to feel a churning in her stomach. She immediately threw down her chopsticks, covered her mouth in distress, and ran to the restroom.
Lifting the lid of the toilet, he slumped over it in a sorry state and tried to vomit. But nothing came up for a while. She leaned hard against the toilet, gasping for breath.
It’s times like these that Joey Xu is missed even more. wonder where he is now and how he is doing …
There was something about this longing that was hard to bear. One by one it gnawed at her heart.
She stood up, holding onto the toilet, only to feel the sky spinning, and she closed her eyes, fading the dizziness away before she managed to stand up straight. Opening her eyes, she snapped to attention and was so startled that she immediately headed out the door.
Excitement.
Joy.
And yet, I don’t dare to think about it.
Only took the cell phone and called Le Mei, “It’s me, Rue. If there are clients looking for me at the firm today, please help me talk to them, I might be late today.”
“Is it because of what happened to Joey Xu? I heard from someone today that one of the ones who went in with him is already out. It seems to be the one surnamed Xiong.”
Boss Bear is out?
It seems like it was really Jo Yuanyuan’s hand.
“Yes? I’m not about that.” Sammy Jones explained, “I have to go to the hospital.”
“Are you alright? I have been seeing you look quite pale lately, and you can’t get your spirits up all day long. It’s good to go and have a look.”
“Uh-huh.” Sammy Jones nodded. As soon as Leme mentioned it, she remembered it herself. She’d been more than just uninspired this whole time. And sleepy all day long.
You can almost fall asleep as soon as you sit down.
That’s just as well, because lately my appetite has been extremely poor. I thought it was because my mood was affecting my appetite, but now it seems like there’s something else going on.
The emotions stirring in Sammy Jones’ heart at the thought of one possibility cannot be overstated.
The mood that had been gray for a few days blossomed into a radiance by this moment.
Just …
Hopefully it wasn’t her thinking too much.
Hospitals.
“Do you want the baby?” The doctor flipped down her chart and saw the word unmarried written on it. Without waiting for Sammy Jones to answer, the doctor added, “From our professional standpoint, it is not recommended that you get rid of the baby. This is just the right age now, if you delay for another two years, you’ll have to move to advanced maternal age.”
Sammy Jones was in an agitated mood, “Yes, you are right, so I am going to have this baby! It will not be taken away!”
She grabbed her ultrasound sheet excitedly.
Although she couldn’t read the data, and couldn’t quite understand the results, and, the diagram on the ultrasound was even more blurry. However, she kept staring at it and couldn’t help but giggle as she watched.
It’s amazing that she’s actually pregnant!
Going to be a mom just like Andrea!
This is incredible!
And …
This child, or her and Joey Xu’s.
