Edgar and His Destined Wife

Edgar And His Destined Wife Chapter 421

No matter how Jean struggled or hit Edgar’s back, he did not slow down his footsteps.

The reporters saw the chance of explosive news and pointed their cameras at Jean and Edgar.

“Mr.Royden, the case is still being investigated.Are you sure you can leave now?”

“I heard Ms.Eyer is one of the key suspects.What happened at the time?”

The cameras kept flashing at them.

Jean glared at Edgar.

You don’t know what you’re doing.Don’t drag me into it! Jean turned to return to the interrogation room, but Edgar

held her wrist tightly.He suddenly leaned down and wrapped her in his arms, covering her face with his trench coat.

“Everyone, she’s already exhausted, and I won’t accept any interviews before the police finish their

investigation.Please let us through”

It was the nicest Edgar had ever been to reporters.

The reporters were stunned but did not forget to part and let him through.

Edgar nodded slightly and shielded Jean as they walked away.

Watching them leave, the reporters sensed what Edgar was implying.

“It seems the rumors are false.Edgar would never be involved with the heiress of Pinnacle Group.Even if he is, he

still loves Jean the most.”

In an instant, the news they had hyped before was brought to the forefront again.

After getting into the car, Jean frowned and glared at Edgar.

“This is a matter involving human life.How could you…”

How could you be so heartless to use me? However, she sighed without finishing her sentence.She knew she should

have expected this because Edgar had always been a cold-blooded scoundrel.He asked calmly, “Should I send you

home?”

Jean gritted her teeth, knowing he had used her to his advantage.

“I want to go home”

“Mr.Gibson, start the car”

The car traveled ahead.

Jean was still furious and kept a stern expression.

‘Splat” Edgar tossed her phone to her.

Jean was puzzled about why he had her phone when Ben called.

“Jean, are you all right? Edgar has bailed you out, right?”

“How did you know?”

Jean frowned and glanced at Edgar.

Her frown deepened as she listened to Ben explaining the whole matter.

Gigi was missing.She disappeared without informing her manager.

Furthermore, the day after she went to Royden Group, even the Reece family did not know where she was.

Edgar arranged for someone to investigate secretly and discovered that Gigi had met with Sherry.

Then, Ben returned to the country.

While news about Pinnacle Group and Royden Group spread around, he discovered that Sherry was not the little girl

who was Jean’s neighbor.She was an imposter.

The little girl had died of drowning more than a dozen years ago.

Sherry’s birth parents wanted her to become the heiress of a wealthy family and switched her with the little girl.

Edgar began investing in the competition when Sherry participated in the fashion design competition as one of the

judges.

On the other hand, Ben discovered that Edna of La Laux had met with Sherry.

If they had agreed to collaborate, it would mean this incident was more complex than it seemed.

“Then, something happened to a contestant and turned you into one of the main suspects.However, I believe their

scheme is not over yet.”

The competition had to be postponed, and all the contestants were interrogated.

If someone exposes another news in the midst of all this…

Jean breathed in and gripped the phone tightly.Her face was pale.

“Ben, please help me to look for Gigi.I can’t let anything happen to her.”

“Don’t worry.I will search for her carefully.You should take care of yourself”

The whole competition was a premeditated plan.

Edna deliberately revealed news about Kalel’s return to the country.

Jean fell for the trap and joined the competition.Her hands shook severely after she hung up.Her throat was

parched.

It was painful even to swallow saliva.

Suddenly, Edgar’s hand reached for her from the side.

The warmth of his palm calmed her tumultuous emotions.He understood how she felt.

“You can now blame me for using you”

He narrowed his gaze and smirked.

“If you’re angry, you can even hit me”

Jean frowned and ignored him.

“If you miss this chance, I won’t tolerate any of your future outbursts.”

The car came to a stop.

Then, Edgar opened the door and headed toward Eyer Residence before Jean got out of the car.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Jean caught up with him.

“My lawyer forgot to inform you just now.It was me who bailed you out.Thus, I’m your guardian until the police

complete the investigation.Therefore, I need to remain with you all the time”

He emphasized the words ‘all the time: It was too late for Jean to do anything about it.

Edgar stood before the door and looked at her.

Jean clenched her teeth in anger.

“I never asked you to bail me out.”

She did all she could to stay away from him.

Yet, he kept getting close to her.

Even if Ben had asked for help, he could have easily rejected him.

Edgar already had enough on his plate with the troubles in Royden Group.

Jean began walking to the door, but her footsteps kept growing slower.

Edgar’s brow grew tense, but he focused his gaze on Jean.

He said in a tone devoid of warmth, “You should behave like this to others as well, especially with Hugo.Remember

this.”

Jean was rendered speechless.

“Open the door.It’s cold outside.I’m underdressed”

He ordered her around as if he owned the house.

Jean looked at his suit and trench coat before glancing at her thin hoodie.

“Mr.Royden, you are weaker than I expected.”

Still, she did not plan to be stubborn, knowing she would be at the losing end.She needed to get in and drink some

water before sitting down and considering her next plan.

“Face away”

Jean walked to the smart door lock and looked at him warily.

“You showed too much interest in others’ private matters.I have to take preventive measures.”

Edgar smirked and faced the other side.

Jean quickly keyed in the passcode and opened the door.

Before she could say anything, Edgar went in and walked quickly as if fearing that she would change her mind.

Jean shook her head in resignation and closed the door.

Then, she heard his voice from the living room.

“I’m hungry.Do you have anything in the fridge?”

He took off his coat and behaved as if he was in his own house.

Despite what he said, he made no move to do anything.

Instead, he looked at Jean expectantly.

“What is the meaning of this? You barged into my house.Yet, you want me to cook for you?”

Jean was aghast.

Edgar remained unbothered.

“So, you wish to taste my cooking? Sure”

Edgar pulled up his sleeves and headed to the kitchen.
