Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90 It Is Useless for You to Attempt Anything

Jean was the first to leave after the meeting ended. The other interns looked at her with envy. Meanwhile, Kellan Lincoln and Sally Lance obtained the final two placements and breathed a sigh of relief.

Kellan found Sally more approachable than Jean. Thus, he suggested with a smile, “Would you like to have dinner to celebrate? It’s my treat!”

Initially, Sally planned to accept his offer, but she was concerned it might be awkward since there were only two of them. “It’s better if we don’t, let’s have it another time with Jean.” Sally regarded Jean as a good friend.

Kellan considered and nodded. “Sure, next time then.” After that, they walked out of the meeting room together. Kellan asked casually, “You seem to always be with Jean. Did you know each other before?”

If it were not for Kellan’s sincere gaze, Sally would have thought that he was ridiculing her like others. She blinked and answered, “I only knew her after joining MON & Co.”

However, she did not say anything else. It was snowing gently outside. Sally took a deep breath and smiled as she looked at the window. She saw a car waiting for her behind the building and hurried to it.

Meanwhile, in a penthouse on the top floor of Grand Ocean Tower. Edgar saw that the personal doctor had finished examining Andy and asked, “How is he?”

“Mr. Royden, Mr. Shaw is a little unstable after this accident. He complained of tinnitus and dizziness. Thus, I prescribed him some medication to calm his anxiety. Furthermore, he should rest for some time and avoid intensive work.”

Edgar waved his hand dismissively, and the doctor retreated. Miles also left and closed the door behind him, leaving only Edgar and Andy in the room.

Andy leaned against the head of the bed. “Don’t worry. It’s only a minor…”

However, he felt excruciating pain as he tried to adjust his position.

Edgar’s eyes turned solemn. “You should rest properly. I will get people to investigate the rest.”

“Investigate?”

Andy reacted instantly. “You mean someone conspired this?”

“It is only a suspicion.” Edgar looked into Andy’s eyes before opening the door and stepping out.

His leather shoes trod soundlessly on the luxurious European carpet. As he rode the elevator, Miles had already sent off the doctor and was waiting for him by the car.

Miles opened the car door for Edgar and reported, “I’ve assigned people to investigate, but since it involves the security of two national borders, it will take some time.”

“Sure, it’s not urgent.”

Suddenly, Edgar stared coldly at a figure some distance before him.

Miles followed Edgar’s line of sight and exclaimed, “Ms. Eyer?”

He had not noticed Jean until now. Edgar’s whereabouts were usually kept secret, so people would not know about them.

“It’s my fault. I must have made a mistake.” Miles apologized immediately.

“Let’s go. She’s not here to see me.” Edgar waved dismissively.

A moment ago, he met Jean’s gaze. He believed she recognized his car, but she only appeared surprised for a second before turning away.

The impersonal gaze made her seem even colder than usual.Edgar’s expression turned stern as he ordered, “Drive.”

Then, his car traveled past Jean. He could not resist turning to see her face again. However, he only managed to glimpse at the hem of her shirt.

In the past, Jean could have easily entered this establishment.

But now, the concierge will stop her before she can even step in.

Who is she meeting here? Is it Ben?

The question suddenly popped into Edgar’s mind, but he immediately suppressed it.
