Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110 A Trap

Edgar frowned, and his expression turned stern.

“Other than you, someone else acted against the Eyer family.” Nathan sighed and continued, “I discovered it by accident. Then, I checked your company’s account and found some changes that are similar to what happened to the Eyer family’s accounts.”

Edgar instantly understood something. “Are you saying someone is acting against me using the same method done against Gary?”

“Yes. Furthermore, this person likely witnessed the whole process of what you did to the Eyer family and replicated it.” Nathan pushed the photos and documents to the side. He was sincerely concerned for Edgar.

Nathan looked at Edgar’s cold expression and advised again, “If it is only a business rival, it won’t be concerning. Unfortunately, there are still many things we don’t know.”

Edgar sneered. “Are you talking about Jean?”

What can that woman do?

He continued agitatedly, “I have been keeping her under my thumb since she got out of prison. She can’t do anything.”

“Are you sure?” Nathan sighed. “But you kept showing her mercy. Even though she humiliated you many times, you still refused to do anything to her.”

Those words angered Edgar.

“Nathan, enough.”

Nathan shook his head. He had expected Edgar to deny this matter. However, as his friend, all he could do was advise him.

“In that case, you should consider who could be acting against Royden Group. You need to catch this person as soon as possible and avoid possible disaster.”

In the past few years, Edgar had advanced Royden Group rapidly and made many enemies in the process. In actuality, Edgar had sensed the things Nathan said, but he did not have any concrete evidence before.

He kept thinking about the matter as he traveled home. Gigi had called him twice, but he did not notice.

When he reached his residence, he found Gigi waiting for him. She burst into tears and ran to him. “Edgar, why didn’t you answer my calls? An anti-fan broke into my apartment. I have no choice but to find you.”

Edgar pushed her away from him and looked at her closely. “Why didn’t you return to Reece Residence?”

That place should be safer.

“I… I don’t dare!” Gigi muttered. “If my father finds out, he would worry about me and cause a scene at the management company. I don’t want to make things worse.”

Then, she softened her voice and pleaded with Edgar, “Can you please let me stay here for a night?”

Since it was already late, Edgar nodded. “You can stay in the guest room.”

Gigi wanted to protest, but she remembered Andy’s advice. She must not seem desperate before Edgar. Thus, she put on a smile and replied, “Thank you, Edgar.”

Then, she went in, took off her coat, and hung it. She did not attempt to get close to Edgar but went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

When she came into the living room again, she wore a mink fleece sweater and loose velvet pants. Her hair was no longer curled with large waves but was straight and tied up in a low ponytail.

Her appearance struck Edgar’s heart.

In the past, Jean was also like this in their detestable marriage. She always appeared calm and would never force things between them. Yet, everything she did was to maintain their marriage.

Even though Edgar snubbed her for two years, she did not waver.

At this moment, Edgar suddenly realized it was not because Jean did not care. She had cared about their marriage too much only to lose it.

Therefore, she kept waiting in pain and suppressed her feelings.

Edgar’s gaze wavered, and he stood silent for a long time.

Seeing that he was unresponsive, Gigi could not continue her act anymore and cleared her throat. “Edgar?’

Edgar regained his senses and walked to Gigi. He took her glass from her hand and led her to sit on the couch.

“If working in the entertainment industry is too tiring, you can rest and take care of your pregnancy.”

It was not Edgar’s first time telling Gigi to leave the entertainment industry.
