Chapter 336 I Won’t Touch Other Women
Sitting at the other end of the couch, Edgar stared at Jean with a half-smile. Jean dug her nails into her palm and placed her phone on the table. “When did you find out about it?”
“Find out about what?” Edgar acted dumb. Jean had no intention of beating around the bush with him, so she directly said, “The relationship between Gigi and I.”
Edgar leaned against the couch and uttered in a deep voice, “It doesn’t matter when I found out about it. Now, the more important question is what you plan to do next.”
Jean couldn’t possibly hide the truth from Gigi forever – she had to tell her sooner or later. However, given Gigi’s personality, she might not accept the truth in peace.
If her identity remained as the daughter of the Reece family, she would inherit all the family’s assets as the only daughter. In contrast, if her real identity was made known to the public, Sam would not leave a penny for her.
No matter how obstinate Gigi was, she was Jean’s only family member in this world. Even without asking, Edgar could imagine how distressed Jean was during that period. He didn’t want to force her, but the public would sooner or later discover the truth. It would be better to think of a way now than to mull over it when the time came. Edgar didn’t want to see Jean being troubled by this matter.
“That’s my personal affair; none of your business.”
Edgar smirked as if he had expected her to say so.
“I see. Then I shall call Miles now and ask him to disseminate the news.” Edgar pretended to take out his phone. He had grasped Jean’s emotions.
“Don’t.” Jean gritted her teeth indignantly. “What can I do to make you let go of me? That’s the internal affair of the Eyer family and has nothing to do with you. Moreover, you already plan to ditch her anyway, don’t you?”
Jean knew how ruthless Edgar could be.
“Yeah.” Edgar’s eyes darkened. “I’ve never thought of allowing her to enter the Royden family. If it wasn’t for the sake of the child, I would have gotten rid of her already. Unfortunately, she and Andy gave me a reason not to hesitate about it anymore.”
While saying that, Edgar dialed Miles’ number in front of Jean.
“You may begin.”
Then, he placed his phone on the table. Three minutes later, he was bombarded with calls from Royden Group’s directors, including a few incoming calls from Edbert.
Turning around, Edgar stared at the horizon afar and said coldly, “To you, I might be a merciless person, but I have no choice – the world is cruel. I have to get the upper hand in order to survive. Otherwise, I would be the one thrown into the sea.”
Jean was tongue-tied. What Edgar said was true. If he didn’t put on an act but indeed suffered a brain injury, he would have been swallowed by sea creatures.
Indeed, Andy was more ruthless than him, and there was nothing wrong for him to protect himself.
With her eyes downcast, Jean asked softly, “How do you plan to deal with the Reeces?”
Edgar tilted his head and asked in return, “How do you wish me to deal with them? If you ask, I might let Gigi off.”
“Really?” Jean’s eyes lit up, but they soon turned dull again. She didn’t want Edgar to meddle with her affairs, and she knew she had no right to manipulate his thoughts and decisions.
Perceiving her mind, Edgar casually took a glass of red wine from the wine rack and turned around elegantly.
