Chapter 6 I Dumped You, Edgar
Edgar was furious. "Jean, what are you up to? Are you degrading yourself because the Eyer family has gone bankrupt? Do you know what this place is and whom you are stripping for?"
Jean glared at Edgar and sneered. "I thought you wish to see me degrade myself. Aren't you happy that I've fulfilled your wish?"
Then, she struggled to free herself from Edgar's grip and tried to get back on the stage.
"Don't you dare dance before me." Edgar swept a threatening glare across her face.
The music stopped and plunged the room into pin-drop silence. Everyone watched Edgar and Jean in trepidation.
"She… She isn't Lina!" One of the hostesses shouted.
Everyone exchanged glances and could not figure out how Jean had infiltrated the group of hostesses and impersonated Lina, the lead dancer.
The real Lina had rashes all over her face as she led the nightclub madam and bodyguard into the room. "Madam, this is the woman that broke into my dressing room!"
The madam was in a hurry to regain control of the situation. Thus, she instructed the bodyguard to grab hold of Jean.
Jean remained unfazed. Her aristocratic demeanor made others hesitant about interrupting her.
"That's right. I'm not Lina but Mr. Royden's wife. But from this moment on, I am no longer his wife. Edgar, I declare here and now that I am divorcing you! It is I who dump you, Edgar."
Even in the face of divorce, Jean refused to appear defeated. Since Edgar caused her pain, she was determined to repay him many times more.
That was the real Jean.
