Chapter 413 An Unusual Competition
Her expression was full of anger and indignance. Those emotions were also clearly expressed through her eyes.
Edgar was surprised and thought to let go. However, he was reluctant to do so.
He looked down at her coldly.
“When will you ever face your true feelings?”
Jean was rendered speechless.
Edgar suddenly let her go and took a few steps back. He took a bag from his car and gave it to Jean.
Then, he left without saying anything.
Jean looked into the bag reluctantly and was stunned.
The bag contained the few sets of children’s clothes she looked at with Hugo at the department store.
Is this his way of apologizing?
Jean snorted and grumbled about Edgar under her breath as she entered her house.
Meanwhile, a suspicious figure hid behind Jean’s neighbor’s wall and turned off the camera before rushing into a car.
“Ms. Summer, I’ve taken the photos. Yes, I will send it over.”
…
Later, in Starling Hotel’s VIP suite, Edbert sat on the couch and looked at Edgar and Jean on the computer screen. “I didn’t expect my nephew to be so dedicated. They have been divorced for a long time.”
Yet, he still can’t let go of his ex-wife.
Sherry was not amused.
For the past few days, she devised various plans to approach Edgar deliberately while making it seem like a coincidence. Unfortunately, none of them worked.
On the other hand, Edgar was still willing to wait for Jean in front of her house even after days of working overtime.
Sherry could not help but be jealous of the blatant favoritism.
“Mr. Edbert, I think you underestimated him. He easily settled the deadlock in Royden Group and did not need my help.”
The initial plan was to force Edgar to a dead end. Then, she would offer help with Pinnacle Group’s fund, and everything would go well.
If that had happened, he would have been happy to marry her.
But in reality, Sherry had run out of plans before she could even begin.
Edbert clenched his hands and sneered, “If he were that easy, I wouldn’t have to seek help from the Summer family. Since you’re here, you should find a way. He is a man, after all.”
Then, he stood up. “In around half a month, there will be massive turmoil in Royden Group. You should make the most of it.”
Sherry turned off the computer in annoyance.
Edgar is like a cold and impenetrable steel wall. What am I to do? He only cares if it is something concerning Jean.
Suddenly, her eyes brightened as she thought of a plan.
She quickly called her elder brother overseas. Although they did not get along, the matter now concerned the whole family’s interest. “I need your help.”
…
It was early morning on Monday.
Jean carried a twenty-inch-sized box and entered the competition venue.
The competition would be held across a line of villas toward the city’s couth, which were already fitted with cameras. When Jean arrived, there were already a few people standing there. Two of the contestants were highly notable and had appeared in the international fashion scene. Their names were Layla Taylor and Sean Regan.
However, Jean did not know the other three contestants.
Then, she went over and quietly stood at a spot near them.
The camera pointed to her, and the staff raised a sign to remind her. ‘Greet the audience.’
Jean frowned.
She was not used to filming this way. Thus, she only nodded and continued to stand still without doing anything.
The camera soon turned away. Although Jean was beautiful and looked good on camera, she did not know how to act before it and was a relatively unknown figure in the fashion industry.
Later, more contestants gathered. Once there were fifteen people, the assembly came to an end.
“Everyone, welcome to the competition. You will each receive a message containing a number. Then, you will form groups of three based on it and participate in a challenge this afternoon.”
The contestants instantly turned anxious.
