Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 A Softhearted Person Is Weak

When Jean went to Mr. Cooper’s office, the others were there. “Ms. Eyer, I’ve said everything I could. You must believe me.” Mr. Cooper held his black eye. “I really don’t know where those two are now!”

“Maybe he really doesn’t know,” Sonny whispered. “calm Ben down. I’m not sure what happened to him, but he’s not in a good mood today.”

There would be trouble if things continued. They would be accused of being unreasonable. Jean scanned through the things Mr. Cooper had written down. “That’s about it. He won’t know about the rest of it.”

Gigi wouldn’t be able to do things that flawlessly. She must have someone helping her behind the scenes. It didn’t matter who was helping her. As long as Gigi receives her punishment.

“Ms. Eyer, the police are here.” Miles knocked on the door. “Zach Boyle, who had tampered with the car, is already at the police station. Ms. Reece is in the next room, ready to cooperate with the investigation.”

Things were going unexpectedly smoothly! Ben’s face darkened. He pulled Jean closer. “This could be a trap.” Why would Edgar willingly let Gigi go with their relationship?

After giving it some thought, Jean believed Ben was reasonable. Miles waited quietly by the side without trying to explain himself. “Did you make the report?” When the police officers came, they began questioning.

They could hear Gigi’s screams from time to time. But when she heard that Zach was caught, she immediately admitted and tried to beg for forgiveness.

She yelled through the door. “Ben. Jean, I didn’t do it on purpose! I was tricked! You have to believe me! How could you treat me in this way when I’m still pregnant!”

A crew of Dark Horse snorted. “How can you be a mother when you’re this vicious.” Gigi was sobbing as the officers escorted her to the car. But no one pitied her. Jean approached the officers. “I have a few words to say to her.”

Gigi’s eyes brightened, and she grabbed Jean’s hand. It happened to be the arm where the wrist was injured before. “I won’t do anything against you anymore. Please, can you tell the officers?”

Jean looked at her quietly. She spoke after a while. “Man has always only feared when they arrived at the gates of hell.”

“…”

Jean leaned toward her and whispered in her ear, “You should have known that this day would come when you used my pendant to deceive Edgar. He’s heartless.”

Gigi’s face turned white.

She felt a stabbing pain in her heart at those words.

If Edgar hadn’t sent her there, she wouldn’t have been caught. She might even have time to make up a statement for the police.

Yet he worked with Jean to trap her.

Gigi held on to the car handle and mumbled, “I’m carrying his child. Why would he do this to me?”

“Why wouldn’t he? He caused my family’s death. There’s nothing he can’t do in this world. Gigi, remember, it was Edgar Royden who sent you to prison today.”

Jean turned to leave.

She reminded Miles, “Please pass on what I said earlier to Edgar.”

She couldn’t bear this delayed kindness of his.

Jean was aware that if Edgar hadn’t helped, Zach and Gigi would have escaped.

But why did he do it?

Is it an apology?

Or is it to atone for what he has done?

Jean was deep in her thoughts as she stepped into the car.

Ben buckled his seatbelt. “Where are you going? I’ll send you there.”

Jean’s phone rang before she could reply.

It was Susan.

She hesitated before accepting the call.

Susan was calling for help weakly.

“It hurts…”

Jean immediately asked Ben to drop her off. She hailed a taxi and rushed to Edgar’s villa.
