Chapter 314 Contradiction
When Edgar came out of the shower, he saw a bowl of soup on the dining table. There was an apron around Gigi. She smiled gently, “Try it, Edgar. I spent hours making this.”
Gigi had sent Susan away. Susan was the one who made the soup. Gigi would tell any kind of lie just to look good in front of Edgar. Edgar took a spoonful and put the soup down. He knew full well how Susan’s soup tasted and just couldn’t be bothered to expose Gigi. “Isn’t it delicious?” Gigi smiled sweetly. “If you like it, I’ll make it every day…”
“What are you planning to do with Jean’s case?” Edgar interrupted her. He lifted his hand as he took food onto his plate and started eating.
Gigi’s smile slowly stiffened. She blinked and said, “I will deal with it as I should. She hurt my son. You can’t expect me to ignore this, can you?”
As soon as she said it, she carefully looked at Edgar’s expression.
“Edgar, even if I don’t pursue this, won’t you? She is your ex-wife, and he is our son. No matter what, she should never have laid a finger on a child.”
Gigi wanted Jean to have such a criminal accusation against her.
It would be best if Jean was sentenced to five or eight years in jail so that when she was released, Edgar wouldn’t remember her at all.
Edgar’s brows slowly tightened. “She’s not that kind of person.”
“Which kind?”
Gigi laughed lightly and took another bowl of soup. She ate it slowly. “Edgar, you may know a person’s face but not their heart. She had a miscarriage previously and may have some psychological problems. She’s jealous that I gave birth to your child, which is why she went crazy and treated our child badly. If I forgive her so easily, anyone will have the nerve to bully my child in the future.”
“They won’t.” Edgar looked at her. “Either make it a civil suit or drop it. Think of a compromise. There’s no need to make this the talk of the town.”
Gigi gripped her spoon and bit the corner of her lips hard. She didn’t say anything for a long time.
The air around the dining table was particularly stifling.
“Why do you only believe Jean and not me!”
“Because the matter of you working with Andy to steal an internal document from Royden Group hasn’t been concluded yet.” Edgar raised his cold eyes slightly. “Gigi, I do not trust you at all. Even if Jean personally confessed to everything, I would still feel like there’s something behind the scenes.”
Gigi’s face instantly paled. She bit on the corner of her lips hard. After a long time, she sneered. “She has such an important place in your heart, after all.”
“Think about it carefully. If this matter is blown up, it won’t be advantageous for you. If you’re engulfed into two lawsuits at once, you and your family can’t escape unscathed.”
This decisive manner of Edgar pierced Gigi’s heart viciously.
She looked at him as her tears fell. “No matter how hard I try, I can’t compare to Jean, can I?”
Edgar didn’t say anything.
His cell phone rang. It was a call from Miles.
“Mr. Royden, the police have found evidence of Sam colluding with Andy in Sam’s study room. Maybe this has nothing to do with Gigi after all.”
Edgar’s brows furrowed as he made his way out.
Gigi was left at home alone. He was in such a rush that he didn’t say anything to her.
“Is Jean looking for you again?” Gigi chuckled. Her eyes were filled with hatred. “Alright. Then I will give you a reason to care for her.”
Susan, who was bringing out fruits, stood at the back of the dining room as she looked at Gigi’s malicious expression. Her heart thumped furiously.
Not long after Edgar had left, Gigi changed her clothes and left. She was dressed extremely fashionably.
She wanted Jean to personally see how much Edgar doted on her!
On the way, Gigi made a call to her lawyer and only asked about one thing. “Why hasn’t Jean been arrested after so long? Is there insufficient evidence? Alright. I will provide you with evidence.”
