Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113

Chapter 113 Rekindle Old Flame

Gigi’s voice sounded from outside. “Edgar, how is it going?”

She could not bear to wait anymore. Edgar and Jean had been in the room for nearly half an hour. No one knew what was going on inside. Jean looked at the man trapping her between his arms and smiled. “Mr. Royden, your beloved is looking for you.”

Edgar stared at her face with cold eyes and tightened his grip. Why hasn’t she called out in pain?

Why is she behaving so nonchalantly?

She is willing to ruin her reputation all to fight against me?

Edgar kept thinking about the matter but still could not understand how he felt. He rubbed the wound on her neck with his fingers, causing her to frown in pain.

Then, he let go of her. “Painful, isn’t it?”

Jean ignored him and pulled open the door. “Edgar!” Gigi shouted and instantly noticed Jean’s wrinkled shirt collar. She dashed over with her face flushed with fury.

“Get out of the way.”

Jean immediately pushed Gigi away.

“You…” Gigi wanted to say something, but she suddenly noticed Edgar’s shirt collar was opened wide, revealing a lipstick stain near his chest.

Gigi felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She was anxious just now, but now, her mind had turned blank.

“Edgar, you…”

Edgar looked at her indifferently. “Go to your car.”

Gigi did not heed his words but ran after him. “Edgar, you owe me an explanation. Why were you in the room with Jean for so long? What were you doing?”

Edgar ignored her, but she refused to give up. “Don’t you know how people were mocking me just now? Edgar, stop right there!”

It was Gigi’s first time lashing out at him.

Edgar’s gaze turned stern. “The thing is in the car. What have you taken from the studio?”

“I didn’t take anything!” Gigi frowned and suddenly recalled something. “I only asked Linda to get me some snacks.”

She looked confused, but when she opened the bag, the necklace was there.

“How can this be?” Linda was in disbelief and quickly explained to Gigi, “I don’t know how this happened.”

Gigi gritted her teeth furiously and had an idea. “Edgar, we now have evidence. It must be Jean who framed me.”

“Hmm,” Edgar responded indifferently.

Gigi ordered immediately, “Linda, get Director Lewis and everyone from MON & Co. here. I must show them Jean’s true colors.”

“Yes, I’ll go now.”

However, Edgar said coldly, “It is better that you don’t do this.”

Gigi was stunned. “Edgar! How can you side with that woman?”

At this moment, Edgar wondered if Gigi was an idiot.

“You brought the bag to the car by yourself, and you have no evidence that Jean framed you. If you accuse her now, who will believe you?”

“As long as you are here, they will…”

Gigi suddenly paused and stared at Edgar. Her face flushed with embarrassment. “Are you telling me you are on Jean’s side?”

Edgar did not reply, but his indifference clearly showed his attitude toward the matter.

“That is all for this matter.”

Gigi took a deep breath and blocked his way. “No, Edgar. I won’t let this matter go. She has schemed against me many times now. Why do you keep tolerating her?”

Edgar frowned and had lost all his patience for Gigi.

He pushed against his surging anger and said, “Tell me. How did Jean get the wound on her neck?”

“How would I know?”

Gigi’s gaze flickered as she shouted, “She must have offended someone she shouldn’t have!”
