Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69

Chapter 69 The Show Is About to Begin

The moment Gigi heard that, she fumed before Jean could say something, “Now I know. It must be her throwing a monkey wrench into my costumes.”

At that moment, Gigi was undeniably offensive with her haughty stance in addition to the heavy makeup. After all, she was a celebrity and Edgar’s fiancée, so Anna urged Jean to apologize out of professionalism. “Since you’ve made a mistake, you should be fully responsible for it.”

Gigi lifted her chin and rubbed her exquisitely manicured fingernails. “Well, I’m not trying to be unreasonable. I’ll let it go if she gets down on one knee and apologizes to me.”

Anna and her assistants had never thought that Gigi would demand Jean to kneel down. Even Rebecca glanced at Jean sympathetically. No matter how capable the latter was, she had to give in to Gigi, especially now that Edgar was siding with Gigi.

However, Jean fearfully announced under the others’ pitying look, “I’m not going to apologize. I did this on purpose.”

“What?!” With her eyes widened, Gigi lifted her hand and was about to slap Jean to vent her anger. We’re in my room now. It’s Jean who made a mistake first, I’m not going to let her slip away again!

The moment Gigi lifted her hand, Jean caught sight of a figure walking into the room out of the corner of her eye. In fact, she was able to dodge the slap, but she merely moved her body aside slightly and allowed Gigi’s palm to come into contact with her cheek, which made it seem like Gigi had slapped her.

Actually, Jean did not feel any pain at all because the force that landed on her face was negligible. Realizing that Jean had avoided the slap, Gigi lifted the other hand and was about to slap the former again.

“Stop it!” Edgar rebuked coldly and gave off an oppressive aura. “Edgar?” Gigi immediately pulled back her hand and went to complain to Edgar in a pitiful manner. “Thanks to Jean, I don’t have accessories to wear anymore. She’s deliberately picking on me. I just want to teach her a lesson.”

Thinking that she had caught Jean tripping this time, Gigi babbled on while glancing at Jean in a provoking manner.

Initially, she was expecting Jean to be panicked, but to her surprise, the latter wore a profound smile as if she was deriding her.

Before Gigi could regain her composure, Edgar’s voice came forth. “I can’t believe you’re still thinking of wearing accessories with this nasty makeup.”

One of the important reasons Edgar requested Gigi to exit showbiz after their wedding was because he disliked women who doll themselves up ostentatiously. Especially someone like Gigi, who merely had a good appearance, wouldn’t be able to impress Edgar.

Jean was well aware of this point after being Edgar’s wife in name for two years.

But alas, Gigi had not figured it out yet.

Jean looked at Edgar and Gigi indifferently. Although the development of the incident was slightly different from her plan, Jean thought it was fine.

“The accessories should match my outfits. We’re going to show up together tonight, so I have to…” Gigi bit her tongue all of a sudden when she noticed the classy gray suit and striped blouse that Edgar was dressed in. This attire had greatly softened his usual solemn composure.

On the other hand, Gigi’s complicated gown was not matching Edgar’s outfit at all.

“You still have time. Go and change your outfit.” Edgar didn’t bother to give Gigi his attention at all, and he didn’t intend to be involved with the incident, so he turned and walked away.

“Edgar…” Gigi retracted her gaze as tears welled up in her eyes.

After this episode, it seemed like it didn’t matter anymore what Jean did because no matter how Gigi dolled up, Edgar would not spare a glance at her.

“Get out of here, all of you! I’m going to change my dress and makeup!” Gigi spat through gritted teeth. She was determined to become the only person who could catch Edgar’s attention.

Jean and Anna left the room.

After closing the door, Anna warned Jean, “I don’t care what grudges there are between you and Gigi or if anyone is supporting you from behind. You’re now an intern at MON & Co. and my subordinate. You better keep your nose clean until we return to Yorktown and stop getting yourself in trouble again!”

“I’ll try. The company is not going to defend me anyway if something really happens to me.” Jean wore a faint smile as she was well aware of the reality.
