Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Confrontation

Half an hour later, Jean was sitting in the visitation room of the police station, counting numbers inwardly. Suddenly, she heard footsteps in the corridor, and the door was opened thereafter.

Edgar walked in while the light from the corridor cast on him. “You only have ten minutes.” The police blurted before closing the door.

The only light source in the dim room was a table lamp. Looking at Jean’s countenance under the light, Edgar was rather disturbed by her calm look.

It was very likely that the local police would detain her or even lock her up for a long term. Why isn’t she afraid? Is she confident that I’ll definitely save her?Within a second, Edgar’s eyes became as cold as ice once again. He pulled out the chair and sat in front of Jean.

“Have you thought it through?”

Jean smiled. “No one will turn money down.”

Edgar narrowed his eyes as he was flustered at her tone. He curled his lips and said, “You’re in no place to negotiate with me now.”

With her head lowered, Jean rubbed her fingers against the cold handcuffs under the table.

Moments later, she uttered, “I guess your position in Royden Group will be threatened too if you lose such an important project. As far as I know, your business partner, Andy Shaw, has been displeased with you for quite some time.”Edgar’s expression turned sullen.

Jean lifted her eyes and wore a half-smile. “Get an insignificant person like me out of here in exchange for a chance to do business with the Oprah family. That’s a real bargain.”

Her smile widened as she continued, “Besides that, I have one more request.”

“Jean Eyer, you should be the one begging me now!”

Edgar was displeased as he felt like Jean was pinning him down.

“My life is already ruined thanks to you, so I don’t care even if I die here. If you don’t agree, go ahead and leave.” Jean batted her eyelashes insouciantly.

Edgar suppressed his rage and asked, “What is it?”

“Marry Gigi and throw a wedding banquet.”

“Is that your condition?!” Edgar sprang up at once. “You should know that I’m able to make you stay here forever if you dare to play tricks with me.”

“Of course I know. I’m also aware that Royden Group has a subsidiary company here.” Jean leaned forward toward Edgar and continued, “I genuinely think that you and Gigi are a perfect match for one another, so I hope for you guys to live happily ever after.”

Sitting across the long table, Edgar stared fixedly at Jean’s face for a long time before he averted his gaze.

“Are you worried that I’ll destroy your wedding ceremony again? If Gigi and your relationship is strong enough, there’s nothing I can do to affect you guys.” Jean mumbled.

Edgar gave no response and left the room directly.

Meanwhile, Jean heaved a deep breath at her seat. Her palms were covered with a layer of perspiration as she wondered if she would win this game.

Even if Edgar missed the opportunity to meet Kennedy Oprah, Royden Group actually had several other major projects. So, Jean was merely betting on Edgar’s dignity.

Reviving Royden Group had brought him fame in the business industry, and there were no projects that he failed to bid.

He was never a loser.As time passed, Jean’s heart rate accelerated as she stared at the closed door.

If I lose the gamble…

Suddenly, the door opened. Edgar was nowhere to be seen, but the comers were two police. “You may leave now.”

…

By the time Jean went back to the hotel, the news was already spread.

The driver who went missing went to close the case at the police station, claiming that the accident had nothing to do with Jean and that he accidentally hurt himself, so he abandoned the car and headed to the hospital for treatment.

Given the litigant’s confession, Jean was naturally declared innocent and released from detention.
