Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 Suspect Her

Ben let out a helpless sigh, “Jean, I know you have always wanted to take revenge on him, but you must also look after yourself. You have just recovered from an amnesic episode inflicted by him. I don’t know what he will do to you after this. I think you’d better get out of the villa first.”

“Ben, this is what I live for. I can’t just sit and watch Edgar remarry and have a child with another woman. He destroyed my family and my life; I have to get even with him.”

An eye for an eye. “I’ll take care of the rest. Do me another favor and divulge Royden Group’s bid price to Jensen.” Ben had no choice but to do as told, “Sure, I will get it done as soon as possible.”

He wanted to say some more but she had already hung up on him. Ben held onto his phone, unnerved and helpless.

On the other hand, Jean went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out of the shower, she noticed the lights in the room were dimmed. Apparently, Edgar came by and left a moment ago.

Jean chuckled, sneaked under the quilt, and switched off the light. After two uneventful days. Edgar was infuriated when the bidding results were released.

Jean was enjoying her breakfast, when suddenly she heard a resounding clank from the study room. She glanced in the direction of the noise and was pleased to see Edgar throwing a tantrum.

After a while, Miles rushed over with several Royden Group’s managers. They took turns and went into Edgar’s study room. As expected, Edgar lashed out at them.

“Go and investigate now!”

Jean took out her phone and tuned in to the news while enjoying her fruits.

“Rocher Group has won the BNC joint intelligence project. Initially, Royden Group was set to win this project, but they were not able to get win the bid.”

Nobody had ever dared to hijack his business deal or appropriate his thing.

For the record, Jensen was the first. To state the obvious, he even won the project effortlessly.

Jean knew that Edgar must be going berserk in the study room. More importantly, he would never have thought that it was Jean who leaked Royden Group’s bid price to their competitor.

“What’s the matter? Is everything okay, Edgar?” Jean saw him coming out of the study room and immediately walked up to him, she wore a smile and asked gently, “What can I do to help?”

Edgar was fuming in exasperation. He quickly put on his necktie and said coldly, “I have to go back to the office. You stay at home.”

“Will you be home tonight?” Jean quizzed pretentiously.

Hearing the car engine sound, her smile widened.

She sneaked into his study room while he was away. The bracelet that he had previously won at the auction on the cruise must still be with him.

Jean would never let the belongings of the Eyer family fall into his hand.

She rummaged through the bookshelves for an extended time but still couldn’t find any leads. Jean was preoccupied in searching for the bracelet and consequently took no notice of her surroundings.

When she attempted to comb through the next cabinet.

Suddenly, Edgar’s low voice pervaded the room, “What are you doing?”

Bang!

Edgar’s presence caught Jean off guard. She jolted up and hit her head on the wooden panel. Subsequently, she cowered down and moaned while wrapping her hands around her head.

Her heartbeat raced. Was she caught red handed?

She bit her lip and steeled herself. She stood up and faced Edgar.

“Edgar, you’re back so soon.” She pretended to be concerned and asked, “Didn’t you say that you had to go back to the office for an urgent matter?”The man looked grave and continued to stare at her.

After a while, he repeated and asked her solemnly, “What are you doing in my study room?”

Jean didn’t expect him to come home so soon. She quickly whipped up a reason to fool Edgar, “I couldn’t sleep and thought of reading a book, but it looks like there’s nothing suitable for me to read. Your books are all too perspicacious and difficult to understand.”

She randomly picked up a book and showed it to him, “Look, it’s so thick. I probably wouldn’t be able to finish reading even if you give me half a month.”

Edgar didn’t say a word as if he was pondering and analyzing her reason.

Jean looked steady and collected. She raised her eyes and looked at him.There was a palpable gap between them.
