Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Is It Worth It?

He could persuade others, but he had no way with Jean Eyer when she was stubbornly in a temper. “There’s still six days. I will practice and minimize the risks.” Jean Eyer had thought this out well.

Ben Ludwig saw her firm gaze and was momentarily speechless. Jean Eyer flashed a smile all of a sudden. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

It was that smile that hurt Edgar Royden’s eyes. His rage was written all over his face. Even Ben Ludwig, a racer with experience, had such bad injuries in a situation like that. Why should she race for him?

And to break the record! Why did this woman have to gamble her life?

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have kept her. The frosty air that came from Edgar Royden lingered for a long time. Everyone in the office could sense his displeasure, including Ben Ludwig. It was almost as if because of Jean Eyer going on that Edgar Royden…

“Jean Eyer, come out.”

Edgar Royden looked away and left with big strides. Ben Ludwig subconsciously wanted to follow, but Jean Eyer shook her head. “Go prepare at the training ground. I’ll be there shortly.” “But…”

“Ben Ludwig, there’s no chance.” She strode away, following Edgar Royden into a different office. Sonny Kalzarc was at the side pondering. He asked Ben Ludwig in a low voice, “Can she persuade Mr. Royden?”

“I don’t know.” Ben Ludwig looked away, his eyes filled with frost. He only found out after the operation that the two internationally known orthopedic specialists were only invited because of Edgar Royden.

Which also meant that this life that he had was saved by Edgar Royden. But that man might have only done so because of Jean Eyer. Every time Ben Ludwig thought about this, he was annoyed and angry.

“Should we go to the training ground first?” Franklin asked softly. “Staying here isn’t a solution.”

Someone added, “That’s right. If Jean Eyer insists on going on, we must make sure our examinations are done well so that what happened last time won’t happen again.”

Jean Eyer was the last hope for them.

“What do you think, Ben Ludwig?” Sonny Kalzarc still respected his wishes since he brought Jean Eyer into the racing team.

“Jean Eyer technically isn’t one of our racers. Sonny Kalzarc, please go through the formalities. I don’t want others to have an opportunity to make things difficult for us.” Ben Ludwig said this while glancing at Mr. Hoffer.

That gaze was cold to the bone.

Mr. Hoffer immediately gave a dry chuckle. “I’m not that kind of person. I hope your racing team can have a comeback.”

“You better keep your word. Otherwise, I’ll trash your rotten association,” said Ben Ludwig fiercely, before leading the rest of the racing team to the training ground.

He couldn’t help but admit that there wasn’t another way. He was still recovering, and he didn’t have enough strength in his elbow and waist. If he really went on, he might not come back again.

But did Jean Eyer really have to take this risk for him?

Ben Ludwig stared at the racetrack in the distance, his eyes heavy.

In the other office, Edgar Royden turned around and stared at Jean Eyer once the door closed. “You don’t want your life because of Ben Ludwig?”

His hands held her shoulders tightly.

His pressure was scarily strong. Jean Eyer gasped in pain.

Her frail body withstood the pain under his grasp and squeezed a sliver of a smile on her face. “You’re only an investor. You can only control a glutton like Mr. Hoffer.”

She acknowledged that those with money could ask for the sun and the moon.

But even if she risked her own life, she wanted to fight him to the death.

“Furthermore, what does my life or death have to do with you?”

“You…” Edgar Royden’s eyes were sharp, and there was like a stone stuck in his chest. He loathed the stubbornness of this woman before his eyes.

Why couldn’t she be like Gigi Reece and learn how to please him?

Why did they have to go head-to-head like this?

She knew that she’d be shattered to pieces if she went against him like that.

“Alright, if you don’t even value your own life, do whatever you want.” He gritted his teeth and finally said that before throwing his hands and walking away without turning around.

The more he walked, the stronger the rage in his chest grew.

“Mr. Royden.”

Miles was waiting at the entrance with others.

Edgar Royden was supposed to have an extremely important meeting today. He only rushed here because he received last minute news that the Racing Association would change their judgement.
