Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 160 A Perfect Match

Jean furrowed her brows. She should’ve expected this man to be more cunning than anyone else. “We can start

now, Mr. Royden.” Harley walked up to Edgar and said politely.

“Okay.” Wearing a light smile, Edgar held Jean’s hand and walked to the backyard.

From afar, the photographer was attracted to the harmonious, pleasing scene when he saw Edgar and Jean walking

side by side toward him. The inspiration for the design of this series originated from gods from the galaxy.

The publicity director of Perles had been searching for a suitable candidate among models and celebrities from

both domestic and international circles, but to no avail. Later, they fortuitously met Edgar during a business

meeting. Immediately, they decided that he was the best spokesperson for this jewelry series.

As for Gigi, they had no choice but to take her on board because she was Edgar’s partner. Previously, Gigi had been

bragging to everyone how much Edgar doted on her, which caused Perles to assume that Edgar wouldn’t agree to

shoot with other women.

Surprisingly, they received a last-minute notice from Edgar, saying there would be a change in the female

candidate. At first, both Harley and the publicity director were worried, but they changed their mind after they saw

Jean.

An ordinary person without acting experience could be a potential model material too! All the staff thought this

beautiful couple was a perfect match. Besides…

Satisfied with the progress of the shoot, Harley sent a message to the public relations department. ‘Get ready with

a news draft. Perles is having a mysterious spokesperson for the latest exclusive jewelry series.’

The collaboration between the divorced couple would surely cause a sensation in the city! Harley was confident that

Perles’ products would become trending topics once the news was released.

Suddenly, Harley had a bold idea. She walked toward the photographer and murmured to him. The photographer

was stunned. “Is that possible?”

“You won’t know unless you try. If we win this bet, our year-end bonus will definitely be doubled!”

The photographer bit the bullet and went forward to talk to Edgar and Jean. “The pose just now was rather stiff. Can

both of you act more intimately?”

Intimate?

Jean almost wanted to stomp out instantly. Are you kidding me?! I won’t possibly get intimate with Edgar. Besides,

the ad is going to be released all around the country. Even if my face is not captured, I can’t bring myself to do it! “I

don’t…”

“What about this?” Edgar reached his hand behind Jean’s back and gently pulled her into his arms. Then, he

tightened his hold on Jean’s arm and drew close to her.

“Great. That’s perfect!” The photographer did not expect Edgar to take such initiative. He quickly took the camera

and captured more footage of them. However, when he checked the playback, he lifted his head awkwardly and

asked, “Miss Eyer, can you wear a more cheerful look?”

Jean looked elegant in the video clips, but she had zero eye contact with Edgar.

Besides, she looked as if she repelled being touched by Edgar.

Her expression was discordant with the desired style of the ad.

Jean wore a sulky look. “Didn’t you say that my face won’t be captured? I don’t have to force a smile if only the

body movements are captured, do I?” She retorted nonchalantly, but her intention was obvious.

At once, the atmosphere became tense.

“You’re right. Let’s take five. We’ll prepare the scene for the next shoot.”

The photographer wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. When Harley came to check on the progress, he

mumbled, “Mr. Royden’s ex-wife has a sharp tongue…”

Not only did she disregard them, but she also couldn’t care less about Edgar.

I bet many women out there are dying for a chance to meet Edgar. This woman here is totally ungrateful!

Harley shook her head in resignation. “Just mind our own stuff. Don’t try to pry into the wealthy family’s business.”

The photographer thought Harley had a point, so he quickly got down to work.

On the other hand, Edgar took a cup of water and was about to drink it, but someone snatched the cup away from

him.

Jean chugged the cup of water and plunked it on top of the table.

“That’s my water.” Edgar wore a gloomy look.

“I know.” Jean shot a deathly stare at Edgar. “I’m afraid you poisoned my water.”

He arranged for me to become the model for this ad shoot out of the blue. God knows what scheme he is plotting

against me!

Edgar glanced at Jean’s delicate face and blurted coldly, “I don’t intend to kill someone in my house.”

“Who knows?”

After saying that, Jean ignored Edgar’s irritated expression and continued rattling on while walking away to change.

Edgar retracted his gaze in resignation and pressed his temples. Suddenly, he received a call from Miles.

“Mr. Royden, Miss Recee became aware that she was being replaced for Perles’ ad shoot. She’s heading to your

villa now.”

“Alright.”

Edgar’s eyes were filled with extreme coldness.

Although Gigi did not stay long at the director’s place last night, Edgar had sent someone to investigate her and

found out that she had frequently attended appointments to ‘socialize’ with others from showbiz.

Sure enough, some of the people she met were up to no good.

Edgar’s patience had reached its limit, which was one of the reasons why he replaced Gigi with Jean in this ad

shoot.He thought Gigi would be more sensible. If she obediently stayed at the

Recee residence and reflected upon herself, Edgar wouldn’t completely ignore her.

But now, he did not intend to give Gigi a second chance.

Half an hour later, Edgar and Jean were shooting for the second set when Gigi barged into the villa with a few other

people.

Edgar’s white blouse perfectly matched Jean’s white dress.

The two of them were leaning against the fence, forming a picturesque view with the scenery behind them.

Besides, they were wearing Perles’ latest couple’s jewelry on their fingers with their hands placed close to each

other’s.

The jewelry that they were wearing was a pair of pure gold rings. The rings had no complicated design but they

exhibited a simple and pure beauty, symbolizing a lifelong, genuine promise.

“Jean Eyer!”

Gigi scowled and was about to dash up to Jean but was stopped by Harley and another few staff.

“I’m sorry, Miss Recee. You’re not allowed to go in. We’re in the midst of the shoot.”

“Shoot my foot! I’m the model for this ad shoot. Quickly get the b*tch out of here!”

Gigi was burning in anger. If Andy didn’t inform her about the news, she would have been clueless about it until

now!

Staring at Jean’s calm face, Gigi was mad enough to chew nails.

“I’m sorry, Miss Recee. We’ve signed another contract with Mr. Royden, so you’re not Perles’ spokesperson

anymore.” Harley replied politely.”That’s impossible! That shameless b*tch bewitched Edgar. I’m Edgar’s legitimate

wife! If you guys dare to release this ad, I’m not only going to sue you for breaking the contract, but I’ll also…”

“You’ll also what?”

Edgar signaled for the shoot to pause. Then, he stared at Gigi while suppressing his anger.

“I…”

Gigi was so aggrieved that she almost broke out in tears in front of everyone.

Just as the atmosphere turned awkward, Jean took down the ring from her finger and threw it toward Gigi. “Take it

since you like it.”
