Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459

She made herself clear, almost as if she spelled Edgar's name for him.Joseph sat down with a frown.

"Ms.Eyer, I believe you came here because you believe I will continue the investigation privately.I'm not dismissing the entire matter just because of the instructions I receive.I hope the criminals will be caught by the law’ Jean replied coolly,

"Officer Bunnings, I visited Gigi today, and she told me a lot of details about Sam.We are sincere about working together with you, but unexpectedly, you don't even have the intention."

With that, she started walking outside.

Joseph paused briefly before running after her.

"You know better than anyone who is behind this.I can't do anything about that."

Joseph clenched his fists.

"But he-"

"Thanks, but I need to rethink working with the police."

With a perfunctory smile, she left.

"Have I been played by her?"

Joseph wondered to himself.She uses the new evidence she found as bait, luring me to tell her that Edgar intercepted this case.

Late at night, the chandelier in the living room of Eyer Residence swayed due to the wind.

Jean was watching the latest news in the finance industry — Royden Group had just announced that they would be working with Pinnacle Group, with Edbert as the main person in charge of the upcoming project.

The project involved constructing a television tower in Bayview.

The partner company was Evergreen International, founded by Andy after leaving Royden Group.It was obviously a trap.

The public would observe the situation for a while before coming to a conclusion.

Some people decided to ride with the trend.

They couldn't wait to work with major groups like Royden Group and Pinnacle Group.

No matter how Jean looked at it, it was just a decoy to her.

Just then, the doorbell rang.She walked over to open the door and found Ben in front of her with a takeaway box.

"You haven't eaten, have you?" Jean hummed in agreement, inviting him into her house.She sniffed at the food aroma and flashed a wide smile.

"It's pizza from Mario's Place."

"Wow, you have a good sense of smell!" Ben exclaimed as he brought the takeaway into her house.

"Perfect timing.I've been craving this; Jean replied with a smile.She didn't have any appetite moments ago but felt like eating now.After opening the box and getting the cutlery, both sat comfortably in front of the coffee table.

The news was still airing on television.

"A few days ago, a gold mine was discovered to the west of Haymose Mountain Range, which belongs to.."

"It must be a fortune to excavate gold mines" she muttered to herself as she looked at the television.

Ben put a slice of pizza on her plate.

With a smile, he asked, "Why? Are you interested?"

Jean's visibility had been relatively high lately.

Even his friends wanted to have a glimpse at her, curious to see what the woman who ditched Edgar and revived her family business looked like.

"I don't have the capabilities to do so," she whined.

But Edgar does.

At that point, she had sufficient reasons to suspect that Edgar was plotting something, seeing how he allowed Edbert to take over and how he stopped the police from further investigating the case. He had been waiting for the perfect time to attack.

Would Edbert — that sly fox - take the bait? As she mulled it over, she felt slightly nauseous. She quickly gulped down a glass of water to alleviate the uneasiness.

Then, Ben poured another glass of water for her.
