Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Fearless

Jean didn’t expect to see Edgar in the car. If his wedding ceremony went well this morning, he should be staying with Gigi at home now. What is he doing here?

Jean frowned while looking at the man in the car. She couldn’t believe what would happen if she got in the car then. “Mr. Royden, why are you here?” She forced a smile and yawned, “I’m very tired today. If you don’t mind, I’ll…”

Edgar got impatient, and he said in a hoarse voice. “The police have started to investigate Carls’ car accident. Do you want to be prosecuted?”

Jean was shocked. So fast? It seemed that Sam had no power to stop the news from spreading. Although Jean couldn’t figure out Edgar’s purpose for coming here, she still got into his car. The perfume in his car smelled nice. Jean vaguely remembered that Edgar hated this smell in the past.

Edgar seemed to be a different person. Or maybe, I have never truly gotten to know him. Jean narrowed her eyes and explained, “I’m not guilty. I just don’t want to be slandered by others.”

Edgar chuckled. Jean’s heart was beating fast. Jean knew that Edgar had no evidence of her being involved in the accident. So, she reminded herself not to spill the beans herself!

Edgar looked at her determined face and tapped his fingers on his knees. After a few seconds, he said coldly, “The Royden Group initially didn’t want to cooperate with the Reece Group, so I’m here to thank you for all the fuss you made. I didn’t waste a tiny bit of effort to get things done.” Jean was stunned. How come…

Losing the chance to cooperate with the Royden family was equivalent to losing half of their net profit. Sam would never have given up the chance to cooperate with the Royden family.

The most important thing was that unilateral termination of the contract would inevitably damage the company’s reputation. Edgar had always valued his company’s reputation, so he should be apprehensive about getting rid of the Reece family.

Edgar said slowly. He was observing Jean’s movement.

“Is this result different from what you expected?” Edgar grabbed her wrist and warned her. “I no longer have patience with you.”

He didn’t kill her just because of that pendant.

After all, she was Gary’s daughter. So, he had no sympathy for her at all.

He clenched his wrists and stared murderously at Jean.

However, Jean instantly changed her expression. She shoved Edgar’s hand away, “Who are you trying to scare? Call the police and arrest me if you have evidence that the car accident was caused by me.”

The determined look on Jean’s face shocked Edgar.

He let go of Jean’s hand.

Although Jean had been one of bored indifference, she had never stared so coldly at him.

The two of them stared coldly at each other. Jean then rolled her eyes at Edgar impatiently, “If you have nothing else to say, please open the door. I’m not as free as you.”

Edgar had no choice but to instruct the driver.

After the driver unlocked the car, Jean immediately got out of the car and walked away without looking back.

She quickly ran upstairs and opened the door as fast as she could. She then quietly stood by the window and looked downstairs. Luckily, Edgar has left.

She went weak at her knees and sat down on the ground.

She clenched her fists tightly, trying to recall what had just happened. She then slapped her thigh and said, “Good for you, Jean. Just treat him the same way when you see him next time!”

Jean just had to fight for herself.

She opened the refrigerator and finished a can of coke. She then hummed a song while going into the bathroom. A few minutes later, she had forgotten about her conversations with the nasty Edgar.

A week later…
