Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65 He Went to See Jean!

Edgar’s gaze slightly flickered as he stood up and placed a blank check on the table.”Fill in any number you like, but you only have 15 hours to think about it.” He started to walk away from her. “You don’t have to ruin the rest of your life just to take revenge on me. It’s as though you’re throwing straws against the wind – it’s ridiculous.”

Thud. As the door shut, Jean clenched her fists tightly. She clearly had the upper hand here, but his simple sentence threw her into deep thoughts again.

She had no idea how long had passed until someone knocked on her door – the hotel manager and the local police. “Jean Eyer, please assist in the investigation. A taxi driver has gone missing.”

When the guests in other rooms heard this commotion, they came out to have a look. Jean merely closed the door behind her nonchalantly and said, “Sure.”

At the other end of the corridor, Sally was just watching Jean as the latter was being brought away. Then, she saw Ally and Ben walking out of the elevator.

Gritting her teeth, she approached Ally and said, “Jean was brought away by the police.”

A triumphant look flitted across Ally’s eyes, but it was well-hidden, so Ben did not notice it at all. She even pretended to be anxious about it. “What should we do, Ben?”

Ben’s face darkened as he automatically related the incident to Edgar. “I’ll think of a way. Let me know as soon as she returns.”

With that, he left them in huge strides, thinking about seeking help from a few friends to bail Jean out.

“Don’t worry!” Ally said. I will definitely keep an eye here. As long as it’s more than two days, we will have to return to Yorktown, leaving Jean behind. She doesn’t have her money, phone, or passport with her. I don’t believe that she’ll be able to get back!

Then, Sally saw Ally walk into Jean’s room after speaking to the hotel manager.

As soon as she entered the room, she started rummaging Jean’s belongings and throwing them into a huge bag.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m helping her to put her things away. If she has to go to the prison here, the hotel won’t be taking care of her personal belongings for her.”

“How are you so sure that she will be in prison? What if she has nothing to do with the incident?”

Sally was seeing red flags in this incident, but Ally merely mumbled with her back against her, “It’s none of your business.”

…

After Jean was brought away, rumors started spreading like wildfire in the hotel.

When they reached Gigi, she was over the moon.

“Aha! Karma is a b*tch, indeed! What pleasing news! She’d better stay in the prison here forever!” Gigi beamed cruelly. The more she thought about it, the happier she became.

Since fashion week starts tomorrow, I’m going to have a celebration beforehand.

She changed into a flowery dress and knocked on Edgar’s room.

The door was quickly opened by him, and she quickly flashed a sweet smile. “Edgar, I heard that the restaurant downstairs serves good supper. Would you like to try it together?”

At this moment, Edgar was worrying about meeting Kennedy, and he needed to join fashion week as Gigi’s partner.

“Sure.”

She was delighted to hear that. I knew it! As long as I listen to him, he will never ignore me!

…

Both of them walked into the restaurant together.

Not long after they ordered their meal, they heard the next table discussing Jean’s incident.
