Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Conspiracy Theory

Feeling guilty, the woman avoided Jean’s gaze. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand!” “It’s okay. I won’t hold it against you, but please tell the mastermind that I’m not an easy target to bully. She’ll definitely be getting it from me.”

It must be either Gigi or Ally. With that, Jean retracted her hands from that woman. She shot a glance toward the crowd before walking toward the hotel under the surprised gazes of the crowd.

The woman was momentarily stunned. When she returned to her senses, she quickly ran to the other end of the beach. However, not long after she started walking, several hotel employees blocked her way. “Please follow us.”

“What? Let me go!” As long as I don’t admit it, Jean won’t have any evidence. That was what she thought, but unexpectedly, she was brought into a dark room, and she had no idea who was in front of her. “Who instructed you to do that?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about!” she grumbled. At this moment, she could only see a blurred figure at the window in front of her. In the next second, the lights were suddenly switched on. Edgar looked at her coldly. “Do you not understand?”

The woman – Rebecca Clarke – gave a jolt. Of course, she knew him and Gigi. After all, she was Gigi’s makeup artist. Facing Edgar’s sharp gaze, she fell to her knees. “M-Mr. Royden.”

She was trembling as she kneeled before him. Under such circumstances, she had no other way apart from telling him the plan. It turned out that both Gigi and Ally had given her some money to frame Jean.

As soon as Jean fell into the sea, there was no chance that she could get out alive. Since she was a foreigner in this country, she had no friends of family to turn to for help, so the police and the embassy would not even care to investigate.

It was a foolproof plan to kill her off. Upon hearing that, Edgar got up. “Jean will look for you later. You have to tell her the truth, but you must not mention about meeting me here. Got it?”

“Yes!” Rebecca nodded hastily.

With a raise of his hand, someone took her out. Staring into the dark night, he thought, I won’t allow someone else to kill my prey!

…

As soon as Jean returned to the hotel, she immediately went to the lobby and inquired about the woman’s identity using a simple excuse. Since experiencing the downfall of the Eyer family, she was more vigilant.

All this while, she had the feeling that her father’s spirit had been protecting her.

“Miss, your friend is staying in room 309.”

“Thank you.”

She retracted her gaze before walking into the elevator quickly.

At this very moment, Rebecca was waiting in her room. When she heard the knocks on her door, her heart beat sped up. Edgar’s predictions were right. Jean really came to look for me. Ally is not a match at all for both of them.

After Jean asked her a few questions, she followed Edgar’s instructions and pretended to tell her the truth reluctantly.

“Ms. Eyer, I was blinded back then; it wasn’t my intention to do so. Can you forgive me?” Rebecca asked in a low voice.

The main point was that she was just another person’s pawn.

Jean nodded lightheartedly. “Sure.”

“Thanks!”

“But you have to do something for me. Otherwise, I will hand over the recording of our conversation just now to Ally.” With that, Jean flashed her an innocent smile, sending a chill down her spine.

Jean is even more scheming than Ally and Gigi!

“What do you want me to do?”

…

Rebecca gulped when she heard Jean’s plans, feeling sorry for Gigi at the same time.

“I agree; so can you delete the recording? If Gigi knows that I betrayed her, my career would be ruined.”
