Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Can’t Take the Challenge?

Jean met Edgar’s conflicted gaze before she explained to Kennedy, “I have some complications with both of them – he’s my ex-husband, while she’s his current fiancée.”

When Kennedy understood the relationship between the three of them, his gaze lingered at them for a second. Edgar’s face darkened. No matter how much I say now, it’s going to be useless. Our collaboration with Oprah Group is going to be terminated again!

While Jean chatted with Kennedy, Edgar quickly pulled Gigi aside.

“Edgar, they knew each other beforehand,” Gigi mumbled as she turned around to look at them. “Why is that man so friendly to her? I bet she–”

“Go back to the hotel right now. I’ll make you disappear from my sight forever if you say another word.” He cut her off with a cold stare.

Tears flooded Gigi’s eyes when she heard his harsh words. This was the first time she saw such detest in his eyes, but she felt sorry for herself. What have I done wrong? I just simply hate Jean, so I followed her. I didn’t know such a coincidence was going to happen!

Edgar informed the driver to send her back. However, when he returned to the restaurant to salvage his partnership with Kennedy, he had already left.

Looking at his anger, Jean smiled. The drama today is very exciting indeed.

“Stop.”

Edgar shoved her to the cold wall, but she remained calm.

In fact, there was even a smile on her lips. “Why? Don’t you like this drama, Mr. Royden? In my opinion, the female lead played brilliantly.”

“You… have been planning to land me into trouble?”

At this moment, he wanted to choke her to death. He regretted going soft on her – it gave her an opportunity to retaliate.

She blinked at him, showing no fear on her face.

“It’s just a joke. Can’t you take the challenge? Your fiancée plotted to kill me by drowning me.” She winked.

He was aware of this, so he let her go with a heavy look in his eyes. “She doesn’t have the guts to do so. Perhaps she only mentioned it by passing, but others took her words seriously.”

Jean could not hold herself back anymore and snorted out laughing.

Even so, sharp pain was apparent in her eyes. “Anyway, now that Mr. Oprah won’t work with you anymore, I consider myself the winner of this round.”

Taking advantage of his preoccupation, she shoved his hand away and walked to another table to bring a piece of cake over.

“Actually, I have another goal today – to thank you for letting me join MON & Co.”

With a smile on her face, she placed the cake in front of him before leaving.

She would never tell him that it was their wedding anniversary today.

Perhaps he would never remember that.

After walking out of the door, she felt the sea breeze on her face and took a deep breath. I’ve officially started a war with him now. From now onward, I have to be constantly vigilant. Otherwise, I might not even know when he finishes me off.

When she returned to the hotel, she met Ally, who was wearing a beige dress with her hair tied in plaits. As soon as she saw Jean, she ran over to her. “Ms. Eyer, they asked us to bring the accessories for the fashion week. Should we go now?”

“Are we doing it together?”

Ally nodded with a smile. “Yeah. I already hailed a cab.”
