Chapter 19 Cold Handcuffs

• "Argh!"
• Gigi recoiled. The smell of alcohol permeated her nose.
• Everyone in the room was confused at the sight.
• Jean smirked, holding the empty glass.
• Did Gigi expect her to take all the taunts in stride?
• When Gigi snapped out of it, her shock turned into anger. She snatched a glass and rushed toward Jean.
• "Jean! How dare you! I'll kill you!"
• Jean dodged her. Reaching for the nearest thing, she flung it toward Gigi.
• A malicious thought crossed Gigi's mind. Jean had missed her target when she threw the glass bottle. Yet it smashed straight into Gigi's face!
• Gigi yelped and fell to the floor. Blood pooled around her head. 
• "Murder! Someone attempted murder!"
• Chaos broke out.
• Those that feared for their lives left the place immediately.
• Someone called for an ambulance and the police.
• It wasn't long before the panic subsided.
• "What happened? Who did this?"
• A man in a police uniform questioned those at the scene.
• "Sir! It's this woman! She hurt my friend. We don't even know if she's still alive."
• Gigi's friend pointed at Jean, gloating over her.
• The officer frowned as he pulled out his handcuffs and walked toward Jean. 
• "Miss, I have to ask you to come with us."
• Jean furrowed his eyebrows. How did the police come to the scene that quickly?
• She looked at Gigi, who was holding her head in her hand. She gave Jean a smile.
• The chilling smile made Jean's blood run cold.
• The coolness of the handcuffs reminded Jean that she was tricked by Gigi once again.
• She had fallen into her trap with no way of escape.
• Edgar sank into the backseat of his car after a board meeting. He rubbed his temples wearily.
• Miles was in the passenger seat when his phone rang.
• "Hello? ... What? … Alright, I got it. … Very well, I'll tell Mr. Royden."
• Frowning, Edgar opened his eyes. He looked toward his assistant exhaustedly.
• "What is it?"
• Miles was troubled. "Mr. Royden, it's… it's about Ms. Eyer."
