Chapter 242
Right after they entered the hall of the Knox family mansion, a man got out a black sedan.
Cold fury seeped through his eyes as he fixed his gaze on Jean.
"Edgar is here."
Gigi saw him from afar and immediately thought of a plan.
As he slowly walked into the mansion, Nathan quickly went to him when he heard of his arrival.
"Edgar, it's a welcoming party for my Uncle Zenith.Even if you are displeased with something, please, please don't ruin the party on my behalf"
He put his hands together as he pleaded.
After all, he knew Edgar too well.He also heard the comments from the crowd just now, so he was worried that the party might not go smoothly.
"Don't worry.Of course I'm going to respect your family event."
He turned around and smiled at Nathan — it was a rare occurrence.
When Nathan saw that, he became even more uneasy.
"Oh, no, Edgar, what are you planning to do tonight? You seem-—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Edgar had already walked into the room.He had a clear goal in mind - the woman who was currently in between Ben and Jensen, was completely ignoring him, who had been the pursuit of many young women.
"Would you like some fruits, Jeannie?"
"Here's a cup of coffee for you, Jean"
Jean's hands were full of the food they gave her.
Are they taking extra care of me because they know how hard life has been for me? I was already full from the food ten minutes in.
"I'll take a break."
Just as she was about to put the food away, she felt a chill down her spine and looked around.
Sure enough, Edgar had arrived.She frowned and tried to avoid him, but both Ben and Jensen said unanimously, "There's no need to hide."
Then, they exchanged gaze.
Even though they were each displeased with each other, they did not leave her.
"Is everyone here?"
Mrs.Knox asked as she walked to them with some support.
Zenith and Adam stood beside her, while the rest of the Knox family members stood behind them.
Among the crowd, the only person who had the authority to stand next to them was Edgar alone.
Even though he was two generations younger, he was capable enough to be on equal standing with them.He had never been shy to present himself on such events, so he walked forward with a sense of calmness that emphasized his authority.
Eventually, he was going to walk past Jean, so she turned her head around to steer clear of him.
Unexpectedly, he stopped next to her.
"Come with me" he said in a less commanding tone with more warmth in his voice.
He's going to land me in trouble.
This time around, there will be concrete proof that I seduced him! She frowned.
But if I reject him, I will be disrespecting Mrs.Knox.
The last time around at a Knox's dinner party, it's because of me...She couldn't make up her mind in that instant, but Edgar was surprisingly patient.
He did not rush her into making a decision and merely watched her quietly.
No matter how much he hid his desires, both Ben and Jensen could clearly tell that he wanted her back, and he did not want to give up on her.
Even though no words were exchanged between the three men, they disliked each other.
Right at this moment, a strong voice boomed.
"Jensen, bring Jean over to introduce her to us"
With the order from Zenith, Jensen quickly did so.
"Grandma, this is Jean"
