Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456

He looked at her adoringly.

Jean pursed her lips long before replying, "I don't need anything."

She had been sleeping for the entire day and hadn't drank any water since waking up.

Hence, her voice was hoarse, and her pale face accentuated her weakness.

Edgar frowned icily.

The comforting words in his mind were stuck in his throat as he knew full well that he could not make up for her sadness.

"I know that this is a good outcome.I don't have to continue my lie.We don't owe each other anything after this, and I won't be obstructing you from any potential relationships with other women."

With that, tears streamed down her face helplessly.It broke Edgar's heart to see her like that.

"All you need is rest now.I'll ask Susan to send some soup over — just wait a bit."

He quickly walked away after that.

Finally, the ward regained some silence.

Jean leaned against the pillow and tried to recall George's facial features.

Then, she took her phone out and texted Joseph, who replied swiftly.

"I will check it out, but it will take a few days to get concrete results"

Jean heaved a sigh.

"Thanks"

The police had stopped investigating that case, but Joseph was willing to help her privately.

In the next few days, Jean did nothing of significance; she just stayed at the hospital and rested.

When doctors or nurses checked on her, she vehemently refused to do any further check-ups.

Everyone thought it was because of grief.

Sara was the only one who occasionally looked at her with a conflicted expression.

However, whenever Jean was free, she would message Sara about how happy she was, slowly alleviating Sara's guilt.

"Did your brother discuss business with Pinnacle Group again?"

Jean mumbled with strawberries in her mouth.

Since they were the only ones in the ward, they didn't have to keep any secrets.

Sara placed her chin on her hands.

"Yeah.I have no idea what he is thinking.Initially, he was against working together with them.And we were about to collaborate with Royden Group.."

Jean's eyes narrowed.

Sure enough, I'm right.

Edgar wants to work with Rothschild Group, but Rothschild is currently in close contact with Pinnacle Group.

I bet Edgar is using someone's greed to prepare for the next round.

Otherwise, Charles wouldn't have come all the way here.

And the representatives of Rothschild Group are Charles and Sara.

It's hard not to relate it to Edgar.

"Jean, can I ask you a question?"

Seeing that Jean didn't look too well, Sara changed the topic.

"Why did you divorce Edgar?"

Jean's thoughts were interrupted by that question.

"Why are you curious about this?"

Jean avoided answering that question.She caressed the tip of her glass as her smile deepened.

"Why don't we play a game? We can ask each other questions, but if the other person can't answer, they lose the round and have to accept punishment"

Though she was smiling warmly, there was a hint of shrewdness in her eyes.

Sara loved to play games, so she agreed immediately.

"Let's try it out.I won't go easy on you!"

Eager to start, she lifted her chin haughtily.

"You go first — why did you divorce Edgar?"

"Because we are each other's enemies"

Jean whispered hurtfully with drooped eyes.
