Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112 Was It Fun?

Soon, Miles came in and spoke to a few people in charge. Then, everyone was led individually into different rooms. “A body search?”

Jean arched an eyebrow and asked, “Is it only me, or are you going to check on everyone?”

“Please cooperate.” Director Lewis’s staff exchanged glances. “It’s Mr. Royden’s instruction.” In that instant, Jean realized the power of wealth.

Even though Royden Group did not have direct business dealings with MON & Co., Edgar could still easily order these people around.

Jean said as the staff came near her, “Wait, I’m willing to cooperate, but before that, I would like to meet with Edgar personally.”

“This…” “Let’s ask if he is willing to see her. If she confesses where the necklace is, we can finish work earlier.” Thus, they left the room to consult Edgar.

Soon, the door opened again, and Edgar’s tall figure appeared before Jean. His gaze was unreadable as he said in a cold tone, “Where is the Heart of the Emperor? You better bring it out now and stop wasting people’s time.”

Jean chuckled. “I don’t know.” Edgar’s expression turned vicious. “Are you playing with me?”

Jean shook her head and appeared innocent. “I only said I wish to see you. I didn’t say I know anything.”

“Jean!” Edgar growled. “There is a limit to my patience.”

Jean sighed and said, “I know.” She understood this about him from the day he destroyed the Eyer family. Therefore, she wanted to see how much patience he had for Gigi.

Meanwhile, Gigi waited anxiously outside the room and kept pacing back and forth. “Linda, have you called the company? You must tell them Jean framed me.”

Linda sighed. “Gigi, stop talking nonsense. Let’s wait for Mr. Royden to come out and see how things go.”

“You said I was talking nonsense?”

Gigi became furious and headed outside.

However, Tyra stopped her at the door and slapped Gigi without warning. It was so loud that everyone could hear.

“How dare you hit me?” Gigi widened her eyes in shock.

“If not for your thieving ways, we wouldn’t have to stop the photo shoot to wait for you?” Tyra came from a wealthy family and recently collaborated with a famous overseas director. She was doing quite well in the entertainment industry.

Gigi could have fought back, but she had to admit she was at a disadvantage.

If Jean refuses to reveal anything, take the blame, or the necklace can never be found, I won’t be able to free myself from blame. That necklace costs tens of millions.

Thus, Gigi felt she had no choice but to take a step back and made herself seem helpless.

“Ms. Moss, you misunderstood. I have nothing to do with it. It’s Jean who framed me.”

“Ha…” Tyra chuckled before replying in a cold tone, “You are two years older than me. Why do you call me Ms. Moss?”

Then, she snorted disdainfully and left.

Her manager scolded the director, “Next time, don’t ask for Ms. Moss if this woman is around. Don’t you know Ms. Moss has a tight schedule? She doesn’t have time to play detective games with you all.”

“Yes, I understand. I will take note of it next time.” Director Lewis could not afford to get on Tyra’s wrong side. He even sent Tyra off personally.

Once he returned, the atmosphere in the studio changed.

Director Lewis glared at Gigi. If not for Edgar, Director Lewis and the staff would have taken out their anger on her.

“It wasn’t me.”

“Shut up! You have better find the necklace, or we are all doomed.”

Gigi pursed her lips and glanced at the room.

“Why is Edgar in there for so long?”

At this moment, the staff nearby began to whisper amongst themselves. “Could Gigi have hidden the necklace and put on an act?”

“Damn it. It’s their love triangle that’s causing us all trouble.”

“Mr. Royden and Jean have been in the room for a long time now. Could they be…”
