Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 503

Xena was rooted to the spot.

She felt a chill go down her spine as she watched the elevator doors close.

| can't believe Edgar will be this cold to me.

“Edgar..” Where did the man fram my youth go? George found Xena staring at the elevator doors.

"Mr. Edbert is asking for you,’ George said and woke Xena up from her reverie.

"What?" "You've already gone down this route; you can't go back on your words now.

You know too much for Mr. Edbert to let you leave." George grabbed onto her wrist and coldly reminded her.

Xena chewed on her lip angrily and stepped back, “No...

| haven't decided yet.

Edgar will surely help me if I tell him." Her hand shook as she reached for her phone in her bag.

"| have a recording as evidence.

| will show it to the world? her voice was weak with panic.

George furrowed his brows and snickered, "You are a clever girl; why would you do something so stupid?" Xena did not understand what he meant.

In the next second, he snatched her bag and phone.

"Anyone who betrays Mr. Edbert will not end up well.

Sam Reece is a living example.

You're an adult; there's no free lunch in this world, George said menacingly.

If it weren't for Edbert Royden, Xena would still be a typical college student.

She would never have had the chance to intern at Royden Group or to be interviewed by reporters.

Neither would she have had the opportunity to wear branded clothes or carry branded bags.

This whole situation had sprouted from a scheme.

She knew about their unethical behavior yet chose to help them due to her greed.

It was all her fault that things had come to this point.

George brought her back to her hospital room and warned her again, “I won't tell Mr. Edbert about today, but you should watch yourself next time.

He pushed her into the room before she could say anything.

“| couldn't catch up to him; she blurted out in a panic when she saw Edbert waving to her in the room.

The strewn fruits were still on the floor.

Edbert did not blame her; he simply told her, "Get ready.

I'm taking you to Royden Residence tonight.” “But Edgar doesn't want to...

see me,’ Xena said in a small voice.

Her whole personality became timid and restless.

She bit her lip and lowered her head, "I understand.

I'll go get ready” Edbert smiled, pleased.

He looked at her with twinkling eyes and said, “It's been tough on you these few days.

Don't worry; the sun will shine again.” The way he spoke sounded like he was playing chess with people.

Xena's hair stood on end when she met his gaze.

Edbert did not shy away from the public's scrutiny nor hid from the reporters.

He spoke to them like he had solid evidence and was able to persuade them with his serious demeanor.

He blamed all the problems on Jean.

"Please take into consideration this is a matter of the Royden family” He painted himself as a kind and respectable adult to the masses.

The public speculated that he might've been threatened by Edgar.

Meanwhile, at the detention center, Gigi was in a tight spot.
