Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Aren’t You Worried That I’ll Poison You?

At that moment, her words pierced Ben’s heart. “Just leave. There’s no way you can help me.” Jean’s voice was filled with coldness. Forcing himself to remain rational, Ben stared at her for quite some while before standing up slowly and humming in response.

After that, he left the office resolutely. With her head lowered, Jean was depressed and did not dare to watch him leave.

When Edgar returned, she shot a fierce glare at him and snarled, “Are you happy now? Go and revoke your unreasonable request from the auto racing committee immediately and ask them to give Ben a fair chance, or I’ll expose your deeds to the media!”

Edgar curled his lips frostily and stared fixedly at Jean. Jean was highly strung, but Edgar’s half smile made her even more flustered. It was as if she would never be able to defeat him.

At once, Jean was overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of frustration as she felt like Edgar had her wrapped around his finger. “Also, I’ll never enter Royden Group. I don’t wish to see your face every day!”

With that, Jean walked away directly. She just couldn’t accept Edgar to be in all parts of her life! Moments later, Miles knocked on the door. “Mr. Royden, your video conference is about to start soon.”

Only then did Edgar retract his gaze and focus on the laptop screen, Jean wandered along the street for a while before heading back to her apartment, but she was informed that her rental agreement was ended, and all her belongings were sent to a new address, that was Edgar’s villa.

The landlord even gleefully attempted to glean information from Jean. “Did you find a rich boyfriend? I saw many suit-clad men come to help you move yesterday. They look so cool!”

Jean merely denied the landlord’s speculation and strode away hurriedly.

When she returned to the villa, Susan was occupied in the kitchen while Gigi was nowhere to be seen. Her new room was ready with all her belongings placed in it. The room was right next to the master bedroom.

At once, Jean was driven up the wall.

She was so infuriated that she dashed to the kitchen and blurted, “Susan, I’ll prepare dinner tonight.”

Susan, who was preparing the ingredients, was startled to hear that. “Please let me help you then.”

Jean shook her head. “It’s okay, I can manage it on my own. Go and get some rest.”

She planned to give Edgar a huge ‘surprise’ so that he knew she was not a pushover.

Susan was worried when she perceived Jean’s fuming look, but Edgar had commanded her to allow Jean to do whatever she wanted in this house. So, she walked out of the kitchen without saying anything else.

However, the moment Jean took over the apron from Susan, the picture that was kept in one of Edgar’s books suddenly flashed through her mind.

The woman in the picture, who kept short hair, resembled Susan in appearance. Could that woman be Susan at her younger age?

Jean pondered upon the matter while putting on the apron.

…

Meanwhile, in Star Media’s dressing room, Gigi was complaining non-stop. “Why do I have to put up with this? God knows how Jean bewitched Edgar that he is so obsessed with her!”

When Winnie came to send Gigi lunch, she listened to her babbling and chimed in occasionally.

“Have some food first, Gigi. You have to take good care of this child. This child is very important to you.”

Of course, Gigi was aware of that, but she couldn’t help freaking out at the thought of Jean’s words the other day.

She was so disturbed that she couldn’t even properly hold the bowl Winnie passed to her, causing the bowl to shatter on the ground, and the food spilled all over.

“Can’t you be more careful? How can you let go of the bowl before I hold it properly? Even the servants at home can do things better than you!” Gigi scolded Winnie angrily.

She had never deemed her as her stepmother. Instead, she treated her like a servant and ordered her about.

Coldness flashed through Winnie’s eyes but disappeared immediately.

She bent down and mumbled, “I’ll clear it up.”
