Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 I Could Misunderstand

“I heard the Ludwig family has rejected marriage alliance with the Sans family.” “But Ally seems to still have feelings for Ben. Don’t tell me the Ludwig family gave up such a good chance because of Jean.”

After all, the Sans Group was wealthy and would benefit the Ludwig family with their wealth. Thus, the two families forming an alliance would allow them to grow their influence.

The Ludwig family would know this too. Ben frowned. He avoided Ally and walked away from her. However, Ally followed him and grabbed his arm before everyone. “I think we have some misunderstanding between us. Why don’t we find a place to talk about it?”

“Misunderstanding? We have no misunderstanding between us.” Ben pulled his arm away and responded coldly, “But you should know I don’t like you or wish to marry you. Please stay away from me.”

Ally was rendered speechless. Her eyes welled up with tears as she said, “Ben, why are you doing this to me? What does she have that I don’t?”

Ally did not fear embarrassment and said whatever she wanted. “I was the one who was in a relationship with you, and your mother approved of me. How can you let Jean come between us?” Ally blamed everything on Jean to regain her dignity.

Edgar’s expression darkened as he walked in. He looked toward the back of the room and noticed Jean standing by the washroom door. Ally had the privilege as the daughter of the wealthy Sans family.

Since she was never married, everyone thought the Ludwig family would have chosen her over Jean. Thus, everyone assumed it was Jean who seduced Ben using unsavory means and ruined the relationship between Ludwig and the Sans family.

“I heard Jean managed to obtain a joint project with Royden Group today. She’s incredible.” “No way! She probably snagged that project using her pretty face and unsavory skills she learned from Luminance Club.”

“Shut up!” Ben glared at Ally. “Don’t you dare say those words about Jean! I have known Jean for many years. You have no right to slander her.”

Farra also came over to support Ben. “I talked to your parents a long time ago. Ben and you are not meant to be. You should stop pestering him.”

Ally bit her lip furiously. Even Farra has fallen for Jean’s tricks!

Then, Ally’s eyes flashed with a sly plan.

“Mrs. Ludwig, I believe there is a misunderstanding! I wanted to go to the hospital to take care of Ben when he was injured in the accident. However, Jean told me she was in a relationship with Ben. That was why I left.”

Ben could not stand it anymore.

“Jean would never say something like this.”

“You are not a woman, so you don’t know her well. She wanted to cling to you. Yet, she refused to give up on Edgar. Otherwise, how did she manage to get the project with Royden Group? You have all fallen for her tricks. She is only using you.” Then, Ally still refused to stop. “Furthermore, my brother went to the summit today and told me that Jean was alone with Edgar in a meeting room for a long time.”

“So what?”

A stern voice sounded before Ben could speak.

Ally glanced toward the voice fearfully and saw Edgar standing nearby. Furthermore, Jean was behind him.

“Jeannie.” Ben wanted to rush to Jean, but Myer stopped him.

Myer said to Ben. “That’s enough. Don’t make the matter worst. This is the Knox family’s birthday banquet.”

“But…”

Ben furrowed his brow. He desperately wanted to go to Jean and tell her he did not believe anything Ally had said.

“Jean is a clever girl. She understands even if you say nothing. However, you must not say anything now. It will only make the matter worst.” Myer was also furious with Ally for slandering the Ludwig family’s reputation.

However, he considered the fact that they still needed to collaborate with Sans Group. Thus, he could not humiliate them in public.

Therefore, Ben had no choice but to stand still and look down helplessly.
