Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Trusted the Wrong Person

Upon hearing her words, Edgar’s face darkened. “Fine, Jean. I admit that you are harsh,” he said in a low voice. “Go ahead and try. I’d like to see you try to revive that team.”

She stared directly into his eyes and replied, “You are wrong. I’m not that capable, but I will try my best to uncover the truth.”

He should know that he can’t cover up anything he wants in Yorktown. One day, I’m sure that there will be something or someone he can’t settle or bribe!

After retracting her gaze, she turned around and walked away. Her retreating figure hurt Edgar deeply. Then, Miles and Peter quickly walked to him.

“What should we do, Mr. Royden? We just received a lawyer’s letter. I can’t believe that Black Horse Team is so cocky. Aren’t they challenging us publicly?”

Edgar got up indifferently. “If you guys had done things by the book, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.” Upon hearing that, Peter was stunned. His initial plan was to suck up to Edgar, yet his attempt had backfired.

Seeing that Edgar was about to leave, Peter quickly chased after him. “In that case, Mr. Royden–”

The door closed, and Miles stopped him. “His intentions are clear enough – please follow the official way of doing things.”

“I– Okay. I get it.” Peter finally returned to his senses and asked his staff to reply to the lawyer’s letter, saying that the Racing Association would cooperate with the investigation.

However, this meant that it was an intentional accident, and the mastermind would have to pay the price. In the car, Edgar rubbed his temples. Just as he was about to relax, Gigi called him.

“Are you free today, Edgar? My magazine cover is out today. I’d like to show it to you.” She wanted to know what Edgar had been doing.

However, his gaze darkened as he replied briefly, “I’m going to the office. I don’t have time.”

“But–”

She wanted to continue, but the call was cut off. Looking at the dimmed screen, she gritted her teeth in annoyance.

In the car, Linda was sitting right next to her, and she forced a smile to try to console Gigi. “Don’t think too much into this. It’s probably not Jean that they saw at Imperial Hotel; they might have seen the wrong person. Now that she’s completely broke, I doubt she could even enter the hotel.”

Linda thought that Gigi would feel better after hearing this, but on the contrary, the latter became even more furious.

“What if he had invited her over?” Looking at her figure that was getting more plump because of her pregnancy, she became even more anxious. “Linda, I remember you telling me about the thing that men would get addicted to.”

Linda froze momentarily before replying vaguely, “Yes, but you are pregnant now, so you can’t sleep with him.”

Even though Gigi was pregnant, she was able to get some advertisement shoots, and her career was doing great because the investors wanted to be on good terms with Edgar.

They did not choose her because of her sales capabilities, but because of Royden Group.

If Gigi were to lose her baby, her career would be over.

“There’s nothing to worry about! The doctor said that now that we’ve passed the first trimester, we can do it, as long as we are careful.”

On top of that, I’ve done it with Andy. Everything was good. I can’t make Edgar feel lonely; I must carry out my duty as his wife.

“Please reconsider it, Gigi.”

Linda was still worried about her, but Gigi had already made up her mind. “Prepare it for me. I want it tonight.”

I won’t let Jean snatch him away, no matter what.

On the other end of the phone, Edgar’s gaze became icier. I’ve really given Gigi too many chances, but she never mends her ways. If she wasn’t pregnant with my child, I would never interfere with the Racing Association. However, now that Jean has publicized everything, it’s not a bad thing for me either.
