Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378 Don’t Speak Nonsense

The matter continued to worsen. Shortly after Jean left Mason Residence and was traveling home in her car, she received a call from the police station. “Ms. Eyer, can you come to the police station as soon as possible?”

“What’s the matter?” Jean frowned and stepped on the brake. The traffic light flashed red before her. She heard the police officer say, “Is Edgar Royden your ex-husband? We believe we have found evidence that he is lost at sea. We hope you can come here to identify them.”

Jean’s hands shook as she held the steering wheel. “Ms. Eyer, we hope you can assist us in finding the lost ship as soon as possible.”

“We can only find personal items suspected to be Mr. Royden’s near the relevant sea area. We cannot contact his assistant, so we urgently need your help.”

“Ms. Eyer, are you there?”

Jean was stunned with shock. Her eyes were dazed, and she forgot to step on the accelerator.

The other drivers behind her sounded their horns impatiently.

“Ms. Eyer?”

“Yes, I’m here.” Jean stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the intersection. “I’ll go there immediately.”

Two years ago, she frequently went to the police station and hospital to deal with the Eyer family’s lawsuit and matters relating to her father’s passing. After so long, she did not expect to have to go there for Edgar this time.

“Ms. Eyer, please look at them closely. Do these things belong to Edgar Royden?”

The police placed a few things all over the table.

They were men’s personal items such as a belt, a watch, and a wallet containing cash.

“We can’t find any identification document in the wallet. Thus, we need you to look at them carefully.”

Jean looked at the items on the table and shook her head. “From what I see, none of these belonged to Edgar.”

“Are you sure?” The police officers looked at each other. “Can you look at them closely again?”

“If his things are here, we can narrow down the search area. It will aid in search and rescue.”

Jean shook her head. “I’m sure none of these is his. You can ask another person to identify them.”

But the two police officers remained unconvinced, prompting Jean to frown helplessly. “You must have known my relationship with Edgar. We have been divorced for nearly two years. Normally, I can’t identify his things.”

“Officer Landon, can you talk to Ms. Eyer? I will take these things away.”

Then, the police officer brought Jean to another meeting room.

Officer Landon was the one who called her just now. “Ms. Eyer, Edgar recently named you as the insurance beneficiary with a significant sum. That’s why we asked you to come here.”

“He named me as beneficiary?”

Jean was confused.

…

Her mind was still dazed as she walked out of the police station.

Why did Edgar name me as a beneficiary of his insurance? Furthermore, why has Miles disappeared?

She had only taken a few steps when a luxury car stopped beside her.

Someone inside opened the car door and shouted at her, “Get in if you want to know where Edgar is.”

She had no chance to refuse and was dragged into the car.

It was dark inside, and the interior had been specially altered. Jean could not see the people in the car. She could only vaguely sense that there were at least three people.
