Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Threatened

“What’s that smirk about?!” Gigi bit her lips in anger when she saw Jean’s smile. “Nothing. I just thought you were guilty of cheating on Edgar; that’s why you haven’t been able to keep him all this while.”

“Nonsense!” Gigi retorted immediately, but her voice was obviously much weaker than before. Besides, she subconsciously glanced backward with a guilt-stricken look.

Jean narrowed her eyes as she was more assured of her assumptions–Gigi was cheating on Edgar. Tsk. I’ve never imagined that Edgar would one day be two-timed.

“I’m going to sleep in this room anyway. Get lost now!” Gigi forcefully pulled Jean out of the room. She knew the guest room downstairs only had a single bed, and she could only be at ease if Jean had stayed there.

However, Jean did not respond to Gigi. Frustrated, Gigi fumed, “Quickly get out already!”

Jean shook her head. “What about you come in, and we can sleep in the same room?”

I’m not going to let Gigi get what she wants! Suddenly, Gigi had a brainwave and directly took the blanket from the guest room. “Fine. I’ll sleep here tonight!”

Since I can’t chase Jean away, I should at least stay in the same room as her, so I can keep an eye on her and prevent her from seducing Edgar at night.

Jean smirked and reminded Gigi, “Don’t forget that Edgar and I are enemies.”

The next second, Gigi placed her hand on her abdomen as she recalled how Jean taught her a lesson in the ladies restroom. She gripped the blanket and warned, “Edgar is not going to let you off if you

dare to lay a finger on me!”

“Oh, is it? I thought there were some problems going on between you two,” Jean said while lying down on the other side of the bed.

Her comment hit the bullseye.

Later, Jean took out her phone and typed a message for Ben. ‘Did the operation go well? I’m handling some matters and will visit you after this.’

However, the message couldn’t be sent out for some reason.

Jean frowned and walked toward the outside while holding her phone.

Gigi grabbed her at once. “Where are you going?”

Jean rolled her eyes at Gigi and blurted, “I’m going to make a call.”

She shoved Gigi’s hand away and headed to the corridor. However, the signal was equally weak in the corridor. Just then, she recalled a similar occurrence at Zoe’s place, which were caused by the signal jammers.

Did Edgar use that trick too, to make me stay here?

Jean looked around and decided to go to the study room as she thought there should have the strongest signal of all places.

She knocked on the door of the study room, but there was no response. She glanced at the phone screen and noticed the signal bars were activated, so she walked straight into the room.

A few seconds later, footsteps approached the study room. Jean was standing beside the window and was blocked by a pot of plants.

Not long after Edgar entered the study room, he answered an incoming call.

“Andy made a mistake with the inventories last time, and this time he’s insisting on partnering with the Ludwig family? It’s normal that Mr. Langley and the others supported him. They have been backing each other up in the previous board meetings.”

Is this regarding Royden Group? Jean arched her brows. She didn’t mean to eavesdrop on the conversation, but she happened to overhear it. Oh well, it’s not like I purposely wanted to listen to the conversation.

She reckoned that if she showed up at that moment, Edgar would surely accuse her of eavesdropping, and she couldn’t possibly defend herself. So, she decided to continue hiding.

“I’ve said that I will not collaborate with Ludwig Group.”
