Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Jealousy Blinds

“In that case I’d better not go. Don’t wanna spoil the fun.” Jean was very much aware of her place. Ben’s mom wouldn’t like her to be at the party.

Knowing what she was thinking, Ben quickly explained, “My mom invited you to her birthday party. When I came to pick you up just now, she asked me to take you there earlier.”

Jean was dumbfounded. She doubted, “Really?”

Ben nodded in all seriousness, “Of course. I don’t joke about this kind of thing. Let’s go. Let’s get you another one if you don’t like that dress.”

Jean needed a moment, “Wait here. I’ll be right back”

She dug out an ordinary dress from her suitcase. Although it was an outdated piece, it still looked great on her.

“Let’s go.” Jean locked the door. She thought she would only be there for a while as she would leave after eating the free food.

Ben was delighted. He was contemplating how to properly introduce Jean to his family.

When Jean arrived at the Ludwig’s residence, she realized the party was swankier than expected.

Farra had invited many elites and reputable people in Yorktown over for her birthday party.

Countless luxury cars were parked outside the gate.

At the party, Farra was wearing a traditional cheongsam while standing on the second-floor balcony. She was happily chatting away with a few ladies.

“I heard that your son is dating Ally Sans. Looks like Mrs. Ludwig will get to enjoy cuddling a baby Ludwig soon!” A woman flattered Farra.

“Oh, I didn’t expect the news to get out so fast. Ben and Ally haven’t made a public announcement yet. And I do not usually intervene in Benny’s life.”

“Mrs. Ludwig is really lucky…”

Farra was enjoying all the attention and flattery until she saw Ben and Jean came into her sigh and then, Farra’s smile froze.

One of the attendees noticed Jean’s appearance at the party and muttered in surprise, “Isn’t she Edgar’s ex-wife?”

“Is she trying to seduce your son, Mrs. Ludwig?”

The incident where Ben proposed to Jean at the award ceremony had spread like wildfire.

Farra tried to cover up her embarrassment. She jeered, “Whoever marries a despicable woman like her is damned.”

“It must be that woman who’s leeching on to Mr. Ludwig. Shame on her!”

Ben led Jean to the first floor living room. They were not aware of the insultation made against Jean on the second floor.

But at this time, Edgar, who was standing not far from Farra and friends, happened to be in a business chat with Myer and overheard their conversation about Jean.

Myer cleared his throat in discomfiture, “I’m sorry. Please excuse the ladies’ unmannerly remarks, Mr. Royden.”

He hurriedly digressed and led Edgar to the restaurant inside.

Edgar was indifferent, “It’s okay.”

“Our company will give our best in this collaboration. We are very grateful for Mr. Royden for being so forgiving and willing to give us such a great opportunity.”

Even a seasoned businessman like Myer had to shrink himself and be subservient in front of Edgar.

In the past few years, Royden Group had accomplished exceptional growth especially after the incident with the Eyer family. Edgar had acquired several medium-sized companies in one go, making Royden Group the leader in Yorktown’s marketplace. And his existence and remarkable accomplishments were admired by many people.

By securing the collaboration with Royden Group, the profit would ease Ludwig Group’s financial blithe.

Therefore, Myer was working very hard to ensure the collaboration would be a success.
