Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379 A Voiceless Scream

Jean immediately took out her phone and looked closely at the photos Gigi had sent to show off. None of the photos gave a clear view of the man’s face. It was also challenging to see the items on the table.

It seemed Gigi only wanted Jean to know she was with a man. On closer observation, that man might not be Edgar. Jean looked at her phone screen closely. She did not notice someone approaching her from behind.

“Ah!” Jean suddenly found herself being pulled from behind by a tall man with sunglasses. His voice was low and coarse. “Ms. Eyer, Mr. Royden would like to see you.” Mr. Royden?

Before Jean could react, the man dragged her through the back door and to the car. She kept finding herself being forced to go somewhere today. Before she could fight back, she saw Edbert seated in the car, looking at her coldly.

It was Jean’s first time seeing such an expression on his face. From what she could recall, Edbert had always appeared friendly.

However, ever since he revealed his stance to Jean, she felt goosebumps whenever she saw him. It was inconceivable how someone could hide their true desires so well. Unlike Andy, who showed his deviousness all over his face, Edbert was even scarier.

He could smile kindly and stab someone in the back anytime.

Although Jean was vigilant about him, her expression remained calm. “I didn’t expect you to do things like Andy.”

Edbert looked at her expression closely. A smile suddenly appeared on his stern face. “You are the cleverest lady I’ve ever met. No wonder Edgar can never forget you all these years.”

Jean looked out of the window and replied indifferently, “You’re mistaken. Our marriage only lasted a few years.”

Edbert’s smile became even more apparent.

“No, no. He has been looking for you since you saved him at the resort. I believe it had been more than ten years.” Edbert kept observing Jean as he spoke.

Jean frowned and carefully hid her emotions.

“What do you mean?”

“I was the one who arranged for Gigi to impersonate you and approach Edgar. Back then, I needed Sam’s company to do something for me. Moreover, Edgar was meticulous in everything he did and never left behind any weaknesses. It was difficult to deduce what he was thinking.”

“Thus, I needed to place someone by his side. Someone whom I can order as I wish. That someone also has to be a beautiful and clever lady.” Edbert’s gaze grew colder, as if he was talking about a story unrelated to him.

Jean felt a chill down her spine as she listened.

“Don’t look at me like that. I did everything for the good of Edgar and the Royden family. He needed a deep grudge in his heart to go far.”

Edbert’s gaze was cold as ice.

Jean’s heart constricted suddenly.

“You misled Edgar and caused him to mistake my father as his enemy!”

She could no longer hold back the rage in her heart. “You even got Gigi to fall in love with Edgar and impersonate me to stay by his side. You…”

Hatred burned in her heart. She desperately wanted to kill the man before her.

However, her anger seemed to delight him even more.

“You look a lot like your father when you are angry.” Edbert leaned into his seat and raised his hand, prompting the driver to immediately step on the accelerator and drive the car forward.

“Jean Eyer and Gigi Eyer. Those were your original names.” Edbert gave a long sigh. “If not for me, you two would have long gone separate ways. It would have been impossible for you to meet.”

“You b*stard!”

Jean charged at him recklessly, but the bodyguard in the front passenger seat stopped her.

No matter how hard she tried, she could not harm even a single hair on his body.
