Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83 It’s Not Funny

The guests were chattering in a lively atmosphere outside. Jean stood by the window and peeked outside. “Come over and sit down.” Edgar had a sinking feeling in his heart.

Jean tiptoed to look outside. She looked perfect and sexy in her dress. Edgar got agitated as he had to control his desire. Jean didn’t notice Edgar looking at her. She put her hands on the blinds and stared at the people outside. She looked cute when her mouth tilted slightly. Edgar had fallen for the tiny and mischievous girl.

The man was absent-minded for a while, but soon he composed himself. He gritted his teeth and called out Jean’s name.

“Jean.” “I’m coming.” Jean walked toward Edgar while holding back her laughter. Edgar clenched his fists and asked, “Is it that funny?”

“Well, a little.” Jean replied. When she stirred her coffee, the spoon made a tinkling sound. In the past, Edgar had always scolded her for her indecent behavior. When Jean thought about it, she stirred her coffee even harder.

She felt so relieved for not having to listen to anyone now. Edgar seems like a nicer person when he can’t control me. “How is it, Mr. Royden? Are you satisfied with my wedding gift?” Jean asked with a smile. “Hey, you should go out now! How can the wedding go on without the groom?”

Edgar suppressed his anger. “I’m just reminding you.” Jean shrugged. She stopped provoking Edgar as she could see that he was in a bad mood. Meanwhile, Ben was looking for Jean outside.

He tried to call Jean, but he couldn’t reach her. Besides, he got more anxious when he heard that Jean was taken away by Edgar after she had a fight with Gigi.

After a while, Miles walked into the room and reported the matter to Edgar. Edgar stared coldly at Jean, but he didn’t tell her that Ben was looking for her.

After Miles left, Edgar spoke with Jean, “I won’t interfere with the conflict between you and the Reece family. However, don’t blame me for being ruthless if your plans affect the Royden Group.”

Jean blinked and pretended not to understand what he said. Her final goal precisely was to bring down the Royden Group! One day, I must let him bow before me.

“If you have nothing else to say, let’s go out now! I still haven’t congratulated you on your wedding ceremony.” Jean stood up and urged Edgar, “Let’s go!”

Edgar was speechless.

She finally revealed her purpose.

Edgar took her card out and threw it in front of her, “You may leave now.”

She always had a way of stirring up his anger.

Jean immediately picked her card up. “Thank you. I have signed an agreement with the debt collection company to repay the money I owe on a monthly basis. So, don’t expect me to use this money on my debt.”

After speaking, she dashed out of the room at as quick as her legs could carry her.

She was afraid that Edgar would go back on his promise.

His bodyguards could be seen everywhere. Jean couldn’t bear the consequences if he got annoyed. Her plan succeeded only because she was right about Edgar and Gigi’s relationship. He didn’t like Gigi at all.

He was indeed a ruthless and cold-hearted person.

The reason Edgar approached Gigi was to expand the Royden Group by merging with the Reese Group. However, after Sam was involved in Carl’s car accident, the Reese Group’s share price dropped significantly.

That was Jean’s first plan, to stop the Royden Group from becoming more powerful.

When she walked out, she ran into Ben, who was looking for her.

“Where have you been?” Ben asked Jean anxiously. He dragged Jean and looked around vigilantly. “Did he do anything to you?”

Ben’s voice was full of concern.

“I’m fine, but why are you here?”

Jean smiled and added, “I bet you haven’t eaten anything yet. Let’s go to the most expensive restaurant! I’ll treat you!”

“Pigs might fly!”
