Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436

"Mommy, am I doing the right thing?"

Sherry muttered with her head lowered.

Venus frowned instantly.

"Sober up! I'll arrange for a press conference immediately.Your life will be finished if the truth is leaked!"

She cast a glance at the unconscious Edgar on the bed and added, "Keep an eye on him.We can't let him leave this room: With that, she closed the door with a bang and left, leaving Sherry and Edgar in the room.

Sherry walked barefoot to the bedside.

Gazing at Edgar's face, she uttered, "How unfortunate, Mr.Royden.Your fiancée might be dead in the ocean by now: Due to jet lag, Jean was not tired at all when night fell.She stared alertly at the man until the latter was awakened by a sudden rocking of the cruise.

He covered his chest with one hand and moaned in pain.

Jean quickly grabbed a broom as she observed his reaction.

The goons chasing after him had been searching for him outside for the past two hours.

"I'm still alive?"

His face was as white as a sheet.

He stared fixedly at Jean with his dark blue eyes for a while before he wore a handsome smile and said, "You saved me? "I didn't intend to save you.I just don't want someone to die in my room before we disembark tomorrow morning.

You may leave now.

That was all that Jean could do.

The man's eyes were as clear as the stream.

He nodded and propped his hand on the shelf beside him to stand up slowly.

"I understand you're worried I'm a bad guy.Don't worry, I won't cause you trouble.I'm not that kind of person"

Then, he stood upright and gave Jean the most prestigious salute in his country.

Not only that, he passed a small gold token to her and said, "We might not meet again after the ship docks.If fate allows us to meet again, I'll repay your kindness’

With that, he opened the door and walked out.

After he left, Jean locked the door immediately and placed her ear at the door.

Silence was restored in the aisle, and she could only hear the sound of waves hitting the cruise ship.

Relieved, she looked down at the gold token and closed her palm.

The next morning, the cruise landed at around 5 A.M.

Jean disembarked along with the other passengers.

She only had one agenda - to find Gigi and ensure she was safe.

Even if Gigi insisted on staying here, she planned to give her a sum of money, thus wiping the slate clean.

"Miss, do you need cab service?"

"Hello.."

Many local drivers were accosting the tourists at the jetty, but they didn't seem to be licensed service providers.

As Jean continued walking, someone grabbed her wrist from the back all of a sudden and dashed forward while a few goons chased after them from behind.

"Stop there!"

Jean almost lost her balance and fell.

She struggled and yelled, "Let go of me!"

The person who grabbed her wrist was Charles Rothschild, the man who hid in her room on the ship.

"Those men are coming after you." He yelled.

"What?"

Before Jean could realize what was happening, the sound of a gunshot from behind freaked her out.She would have fallen into the sea if Charles wasn't holding her.

"Get into the car in front!"

Charles blurted and ran even quicker.

Jean nearly couldn't catch up with him.

Who are the people chasing after me? Are they the police? No way.

When I contacted Officer Bunnings on the cruise, he didn't know I had gone abroad.

"Run faster! Those people are cold-blooded.You're gonna lose your life if you don't speed up!"
