Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 A Different Jean

Kennedy was clothed in an authentic black suit. His dark-blue eyes looked elegant and deep. In fact, he had informed the event organizer earlier that he would attend the opening ceremony.

The organizer agreed to arrange a female partner for him. However, he did not expect to see Gigi the moment he got out of the car. His last encounter with Gigi was not pleasant. Kennedy stared at Gigi for quite a while and did not make a move.

Gigi knitted her brows, confused about what was going on. Meanwhile, some of the reporters noticed the situation and started capturing pictures of Kennedy with their cameras.

To them, the news value of Kennedy was far higher than that of Gigi, an unfamed artist. The camera lights flashed non-stop. Linda signaled to Gigi and whispered, “Go ahead and walk on the red carpet!”

This was a rare chance. Even if Edgar was here, he might not be as attention-catching as Kennedy. Gigi pursed her lips as she wished to walk the carpet with Edgar! However, in order to boost her popularity and coverage, she held Kennedy’s arm reluctantly.

On the other hand, Kennedy too shook his head with a frown and got out of the car reticently. When Gigi and Kennedy’s cars left, Edgar’s car arrived.

Seated in the passenger seat, Miles informed Edgar when he saw Gigi walking the red carpet with Kennedy. “Sir, are you still going to get out of the car?”

With his eyes filled with coldness, Edgar was about to answer no when someone knocked on his car door. A gorgeous figure was standing outside his car. At a glance at her waistline, one could tell that she must have a striking appearance.

Edgar opened the car door without hesitation because he needed the chance to meet Kennedy.

When he saw the lady who knocked on his door, the amazement in his eyes was unconcealable. “It’s you?”

A smile tugged at Jean’s lips. “I’ll keep my promise. This way please, Mr. Royden.”

The reporters snapped pictures of the two when they saw them.

Although they were not celebrities or local magnates, their stunning appearance was enough to outshine the other guests.

“Is she a new celebrity? Which agency company does she come from? She’s so beautiful!”

“She doesn’t look like a celebrity, but she looks more like a daughter from a wealthy family. The man standing next to her seems to be the president of Royden Group in Yorktown. That’s weird. Isn’t Edgar Royden Gigi Reece’s fiancé?”

At once, the reporters started speculating.

When Jean held Edgar’s arm gently, she could feel his arm stiffen.

“Just play along.” She whispered.

Edgar darted a glance at her wrist and remained silent.

This was the first time they had attended a public event in such an intimate manner ever since their wedding.

Jean thought it was ridiculous or even pathetic.

Despite the bright smile on her face, she was as calm as the ocean deep down. From afar, she could see Gigi standing across her, looking furious.

Jean deliberately slowed down her steps. When Edgar noticed it, he too slowed down to adjust to Jean’s pace.

“Mr. Oprah is right in front of me. I’ll find a chance to chat with him later, so just play it by ear. If the plan fails, it’s because you’re not capable enough, so don’t blame me.” Jean drew close to Edgar’s ear and whispered.

Then, she darted a glance at Gigi and put on a victorious smile.

Edgar felt a warm sensation behind her ear, which made his heart skip a beat. The next second, Jean walked past Edgar resolutely, leaving the latter astounded at the spot.

“Edgar, why did you walk the carpet with her? The reporters from Yorktown are going to laugh at us if they see this. You’re my fiancé!” Infuriated by Jean, Gigi tugged at Edgar’s arm and complained.

Edgar retracted his gaze from Jean and stared coldly at Gigi. “I can’t believe you’re asking me.”
