Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 110 A Trap

Edgar frowned, and his expression turned stern.

“Other than you, someone else acted against the Eyer family.” Nathan sighed and continued, “I discovered it by

accident. Then, I checked your company’s account and found some changes that are similar to what happened to

the Eyer family’s accounts.”

Edgar instantly understood something. “Are you saying someone is acting against me using the same method done

against Gary?”

“Yes. Furthermore, this person likely witnessed the whole process of what you did to the Eyer family and replicated

it.” Nathan pushed the photos and documents to the side. He was sincerely concerned for Edgar.

Nathan looked at Edgar’s cold expression and advised again, “If it is only a business rival, it won’t be concerning.

Unfortunately, there are still many things we don’t know.”

Edgar sneered. “Are you talking about Jean?”

What can that woman do?

He continued agitatedly, “I have been keeping her under my thumb since she got out of prison. She can’t do

anything.”

“Are you sure?” Nathan sighed. “But you kept showing her mercy. Even though she humiliated you many times, you

still refused to do anything to her.”

Those words angered Edgar.

“Nathan, enough.”

Nathan shook his head. He had expected Edgar to deny this matter. However, as his friend, all he could do was

advise him.

“In that case, you should consider who could be acting against Royden Group. You need to catch this person as

soon as possible and avoid possible disaster.”

In the past few years, Edgar had advanced Royden Group rapidly and made many enemies in the process. In

actuality, Edgar had sensed the things Nathan said, but he did not have any concrete evidence before.

He kept thinking about the matter as he traveled home. Gigi had called him twice, but he did not notice.

When he reached his residence, he found Gigi waiting for him. She burst into tears and ran to him. “Edgar, why

didn’t you answer my calls? An anti-fan broke into my apartment. I have no choice but to find you.”

Edgar pushed her away from him and looked at her closely. “Why didn’t you return to Reece Residence?”

That place should be safer.

“I… I don’t dare!” Gigi muttered. “If my father finds out, he would worry about me and cause a scene at the

management company. I don’t want to make things worse.”

Then, she softened her voice and pleaded with Edgar, “Can you please let me stay here for a night?”

Since it was already late, Edgar nodded. “You can stay in the guest room.”

Gigi wanted to protest, but she remembered Andy’s advice. She must not seem desperate before Edgar. Thus, she

put on a smile and replied, “Thank you, Edgar.”

Then, she went in, took off her coat, and hung it. She did not attempt to get close to Edgar but went to the kitchen

to get a glass of water.

When she came into the living room again, she wore a mink fleece sweater and loose velvet pants. Her hair was no

longer curled with large waves but was straight and tied up in a low ponytail.

Her appearance struck Edgar’s heart.

In the past, Jean was also like this in their detestable marriage. She always appeared calm and would never force

things between them. Yet, everything she did was to maintain their marriage.

Even though Edgar snubbed her for two years, she did not waver.

At this moment, Edgar suddenly realized it was not because Jean did not care. She had cared about their marriage

too much only to lose it.

Therefore, she kept waiting in pain and suppressed her feelings.

Edgar’s gaze wavered, and he stood silent for a long time.

Seeing that he was unresponsive, Gigi could not continue her act anymore and cleared her throat. “Edgar?’

Edgar regained his senses and walked to Gigi. He took her glass from her hand and led her to sit on the couch.

“If working in the entertainment industry is too tiring, you can rest and take care of your pregnancy.”

It was not Edgar’s first time telling Gigi to leave the entertainment industry.

However, she could sense his attitude had changed.

He is not forcing me to stop working but is discussing it with me.

Gigi smiled delightedly and could barely contain her excitement. “Edgar, I still wish to have a career.”

In the past, Gigi would never say something like this. But Andy taught her to imitate Jean. Even though Gigi was

unwilling, it was the most effective way.

Edgar cleared his throat. “I will send someone to deal with the anti-fan problem. You can stay with me for now. We

can discuss it again once the matter is resolved.”

He got up and patted Gigi’s shoulder.

It was Gigi’s first time experiencing the warmth of his fingertips.

“The guest room is on the second floor. Don’t stay up too late.” He went to his study to work after saying that.

Gigi finally released the grin she had been holding back for a long time.

This tactic works so well!

In the study, Edgar hesitated for a long time before calling Miles on the phone. “Help me to investigate a matter.”

After instructing Miles, he put down his phone but could not calm down for a long time.

In the past, Jean had to give up her career in design to marry him. Whenever he closed his eyes, he could

remember Jean’s furious expression when he met her at the hospital just now.

Edgar hardened his heart.

“Whatever you gave up was nothing compared to what I have lost.”

…

The following morning, Gigi walked proudly into the studio as if she was the female lead.

She was in a good mood today because Edgar not only helped her to deal with the anti-fan matter. He even

assigned a driver to send her here.

She had not enjoyed such favorable treatment for a long time.

However, her joy did not last. She noticed a figure and gritted her teeth. “Those men are useless. Why is Jean

still…”

Linda warned her immediately, “Don’t say so loud.”

Gigi widened her eyes in anger.

At the same time, Jean also noticed Gigi staring at her and turned to look at her calmly.

That caused Gigi to panic instantly under Jean’s gaze.

She turned away quickly and grabbed Linda nervously. “Those people will keep the matter a secret, right? Please

tell me they won’t rat me out!”

Edgar had just started warming up to Gigi. She would be in trouble if he found out about the matter.

Linda remained calm and pulled Gigi to her. “I have dealt with everything. Don’t worry. No one will find out about

the matter.”

Money is an easy solution to everything in this world.

Jean was lucky that someone had saved her. Otherwise, she would probably be hiding somewhere and crying.

If those men had taken humiliating photos of her, we could have easily threatened her and made her leave

Yorktown.

Then, Linda pulled Gigi along with her and said, “We have a new director today. The lead director is no longer that

annoying old man, Director Quince. It’s Director Lewis, do you remember him? You met him at an event last year.

He is quite fond of you.”

Gigi remembered Director Lewis and was hesitant.

“Didn’t people say the director has a scandalous life?”

“You are now Edgar’s wife. Why would he dare to do anything improper to you? Furthermore, the jewelry for

today’s photoshoot is gorgeous. If he likes you, he might make you the center model.”

“Alright, I will give it a try.”

However, neither Gigi nor Linda was aware that Jean had heard their conversation.
