Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Take a Guess, What Will I Do

Jean looked at the evening dress tentatively. Her stomach growled. She pushed the thoughts to the back of her mind and went to the ladies’ room with the clothes.

All the attendants of the evening were Yorktown’s celebrities in the entertainment industry. There were a few producers and directors, but most of the guests consisted of female stars and models. The banquet hall was filled with beauties in all directions.

Jean was dressed in a light-colored mermaid dress. It was perfect for the occasion. Her bare shoulders, boasting her clavicle, highlighted her slender neck. She was striking even amongst the gorgeous stars.

“What did your family plan for you? I’ll eat at the other side. Stay away from me.” She didn’t want to be dragged into any arguments. Her priority was to fill her stomach. “Don’t… I’ll stick with you wherever you go.”

He smiled cheekily. He was dashing—one couldn’t take their eyes off him. However, Jean saw through him. “You want to use me. Am I right?”

She was right. When a few stars came to flirt with Ben, he used Jean as an excuse to leave. He smiled and placed some food on her plate. “There’s no such thing as a free dinner in this world.”

Jean was probably the only person eating in the hall. She looked at the food on her plate and gritted her teeth. “Forget it. I’ll let you go this time.”

She treated it as payment for the meal. Ben smiled and watched her tenderly, never leaving her side. “Gigi, is that Jean?” A person on the second floor noticed. “She’s right next to Ben Ludwig. Are they really actually dating?”

Gigi was chatting about fashion week with her friends. Her face darkened at the remark.

“Dating? Could she date a Ludwig with her standing? She’s the one chasing after him. They even went to a hotel last night,” Gigi revealed. She found out about it after calling the hotel.

Jean had only left prison for a few days. They must have started the relationship earlier on. She was just a reject of the Royden family. But Gigi was envious of Jean, standing next to Ben dazzlingly.

“Is it really a one-sided relationship? I heard that Ben Ludwig had placed an order for a diamond ring from Cartier for her.” “So what?”

Gigi yelled. She tried her best but couldn’t win over Edgar’s heart. Yet despite being divorced and entering prison, Jean could entrance Ben. What did she have?

If Jean managed to marry into the Ludwig family first, would Gigi still have any dignity left?

“Gigi, don’t be angry. Jean has nothing on you. She’s a divorced woman, after all,” her friend said while grinning. “If she’s with Ben, you won’t have to worry that she might get back with Edgar.”

Yet the news of Edgar ending his wedding with Gigi had spread through the city.

Gigi couldn’t stay in her seat. She excused herself to the ladies’ room and made a call to Andy. “You said that Edgar paid off Jean’s debts. Is that true?”

“Of course. Why?”

“Tell me, why would he do that?” She was uneasy. Andy comforted her. “He probably plans to destroy her himself. Edgar hates the Eyer family. He left her alone just to toy with her, crushing her in his own sweet time.”
