Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77 An Old Friend

Jean was peeling an apple for Monica in the hospital. “You don’t have to act so well. Those paparazzi always put two and two together and make five.” Jean looked at Monica apologetically.

Monica was lying on the hospital bed with a cigarette in her hand. She had a gauze on her forehead. “If I don’t do it seriously, the Jackson family will not believe in me. They won’t put the blame on Sam too.” Monica was still in pain.

Monica raised her head and look at Jean, “I’m not doing it for free. Don’t forget that you promised me that you’ll win the first prize in MON & Co.’s next season’s design competition.” “Otherwise…”

“I’ll do anything for you.” Jean still felt very guilty. Before attending the fashion week runway shows, Jean took the initiative to talk to Monica about her plans.

She confessed that Edgar was the one who arranged for her to work in MON & Co., but she still didn’t know his purpose in doing so. If Monica was willing to help her, Jean would be more than grateful to grant her any request.

When Jean went to meet Monica at Luminance Villa for the first time, Carl was one of the attendees. He always wanted to have s*xual intercourse with Monica.

He had continuously put pressure on Monica and spread fake news about Monica’s indiscreet private life.

He tried to force Monica into becoming his secret lover.

Jean’s plan was to get Carl into an accident and shift the blame onto Sam.

However, Jean didn’t expect that Monica would risk her own life in such an extreme way.

When Jean saw the news on the plane, she was so nervous. If anything happened to Monica, she would blame herself for the rest of her life.

Monica chuckled, “I believe that you will keep your word. You don’t have to feel burdened. I had planned to do that for a long time. He deserved to die.”

Monica put out the cigarette in her hand.

Although Monica might offend Edgar after helping Jean, she didn’t regret her choice as Jean’s plan was just what she was thinking.

Compared to earning money, Jean had long wanted to crack down on the Jackson family.

“Recently, I won’t be able to go back to MON & Co., so you have to take care of yourself. I think our colleagues will continue to ice you out.” Monica said when she lay herself down. “You don’t have to come and see me. I’m fine.”

Jean watched her close her eyes.

“But, I have nowhere to go. I’m afraid that my arms and legs will be cut off by those loan sharks after I walk out of this door.”

Monica slowly opened her eyes, “Has it not been resolved yet?”

Jean lowered her head, peeled an apple, and ate it. “Maybe a lot of people hate me.”

On her way to the hospital just now, she was followed by a few people. They only stopped following her after she entered the hospital.

There were security guards, nurses on duty, and surveillance cameras in the hospital. So, it wasn’t easy for them to put their hands on Jean.

Monica looked at Jean with sympathy.

Jean smirked and asked, “So, can I sleep here?”

“No, I usually snore at night.”

“It’s dangerous for me to go out!”

Monica frowned and threw the pillow under her arm at Jean, “This is the last time.”

She sounded just like Edgar!

Jean was surprised. She then pulled the folding bed out and lay on it.

The hallway lights shined in through the windows of their ward.

“Why did you study design?” Monica asked.

“When my family hadn’t gone bankrupt, I didn’t really need to learn any practical skills. So, I just chose the course I like,” Jean said as she closed her eyes.

Monica was her first friend after being released from prison.
