Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136

Chapter 136 The Price

“Welcome, Mr. Royden! I’m really relieved now that you are finally here!” Exactly like the rumors, Peter Hoffer was materialistic and obsequious. He was all smiles when he saw Edgar, to the point of almost kneeling before him to polish his shoes.

As usual, Edgar had a cold expression on his face. He merely shot a glance at Peter. However, Miles, who was standing behind him, announced, “Mr. Royden’s time is limited. You’d better finish everything within 20 minutes.”

“I see. Sure, sure. There’s no problem at all!” He then turned around and fixed his gaze on Jean before waving to her, asking her to come over.

Jean was the representative of Black Horse Team. In this industry, it was rare to see a female motor racer. On top of that, everyone knew about her relationship with Edgar.

When she was walking toward them, there were already whispers among the crowd, but Peter feigned ignorance and said with a smile, “Mr. Royden, she is representing Black Horse Team. I asked both of you to be here to explain one thing – the results of our investigation is out, but I hope that the matter will end here.”

Jean arched her eyebrows, but she did not say anything.

Edgar shot a glance at her and frowned. “The reason being?”

“Er… Mr. Royden, you’ll know when you see this.” Peter laughed dryly with an ingratiating hint in his tone.

Jean was a step ahead of Edgar and took the document before he could, “I was there when the accident happened. It’s better if I look at it instead.”

As she took the document over, her fingers slid past his hands.

His hand froze for a moment, but he was not annoyed at all. He merely looked at her silently.

In front of everyone, Jean opened the document and started reading it. As time passed, her frown deepened.

“Are you done?” Peter cleared his throat and reached out for the document, but Jean avoided him.

She immediately stood up. “Based on these results, do you still think it’s an accident? Even if you are trying to cover it up, there has to be a limit for that!”

With that, she threw the document in front of Edgar.

“I’d like to hear your thoughts on this.”

In an instant, the atmosphere became rather heated.

It was out of Peter’s expectations that a meek-looking woman like Jean could be so out of control when she got mad. On top of that, she just flared up in front of Edgar. No wonder they had a divorce. If I had known about this earlier, I would have met Edgar alone beforehand. I wanted to make him owe me a favor to get more sponsorship for the next competition, but my plans are all ruined now.

Hence, he was displeased with Jean.

“Ha!” She let out a cold snort and took out a recording pen. “My recordings here are directly uploaded to my laptop’s cloud storage. If you chase me away now, I’ll upload our conversation from just now on to the Internet. Let’s see who’s more ridiculous this time.”

“You!”

Peter gritted his teeth, not expecting Jean to do this at all.

At this moment, Edgar had also finished perusing the report, and his face was very dark indeed.

Before this, he had asked Miles to investigate this incident, and the latter found out that Gigi had bribed two employees to tweak the brakes. Since there were only a few witnesses and verbal confirmation, he was able to suppress them.

However, the situation was different now.

After a week of investigation, the Racing Association had gotten some concrete evidence, and the timeline of the incident was clear to them.

Based on the evidence they held, let alone putting her in jail, they could sue Gigi for voluntary manslaughter.
