Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 235 Why Did You Call Off the Wedding?

“I…” Edgar gave the matter a great deal of thought before finally continuing, “If she’s still willing to give birth to the

baby, I’ll take full responsibility. But I don’t want to continue the marriage. I’ve already thought it through – I don’t

love her.”

From the beginning, he had never once fallen in love with her. He had just fallen for the identity she impersonated

using the pendant.

If this farcical show went on, more people would be hurt. It would be better to stop propagating the hurt any

further.

Thinking about his explanation, Edbert slowly heaved a sigh. “Alright. I’ll head over to Reece Residence and explain

to them. Meanwhile, you should take a good rest at home. You just returned from abroad, and you have some

injuries. Alas…”

With that, he walked out of the room, leaving Edgar standing rooted to the ground. Before closing the door, he said,

“In life, you only have a few major regrets. Think it through so that you don’t hurt anyone any further.”

That night, Gigi went to Royden Group, sobbing her heart out.

Before Edgar could get off work, she blocked his way. “I heard from your uncle. You want to break up with me and

call off the wedding, don’t you?” She wiped her tears away. “Impossible! I will never agree to that!”

She threw a tantrum in his office, ignoring the impassive expression on his face.

However, when he heard the words ‘break up’, he thought of another person.

When I sent a lawyer to discuss the divorce with Jean, was she also heartbroken? But she wouldn’t throw such a

tantrum. She would only get to what she wanted by hook or by crook. From another perspective, we are pretty

similar.

“Edgar, I’ve done nothing to bring you disgrace. If you are mad about me accepting the directors’ invitations, I

promise you that I’ll never go out with them again. Isn’t this enough?”

“It’s not because of that.” He frowned.

“What is it, then?” She suddenly stopped sobbing and walked to him in a few swift steps. “Tell me!”

He lifted his head to look at her. Just as he was about to reply, there was a sudden knock on the door. “Enter,” he

instructed as he turned around.

Jean opened the door with a takeaway box and some medicine in her hands.

She froze briefly when she saw Gigi in front of his desk. Then, she explained, “Susan asked me to drop these here.

Also, you’ll need to change your bandages; the medicinal lotions are here. That’s all, bye.”

“Stop right there!”

Gigi lifted her chin angrily and pointed at Jean. “Are you calling off the wedding because of her?”

He’s calling it off? Jean’s frown deepened. I have nothing to do with that, yet she’s accusing me of it.

“It’s none of her business.” Edgar’s face darkened, and he pulled Gigi away, but she was making a scene, refusing

to oblige and wailing loudly.

Jean wanted to leave the instant she shut the door, but she was stopped by Andy, who was walking toward her. “Ms.

Eyer, are you feeling better? I wanted to pay you a visit, but I was too late for that. Luckily, Mr. Royden is caring

enough to bring you overseas for treatment.”

Loud sobs and wails could still be heard from the room, while Andy was obviously scheming for something under his

cunning smile.

Jean regretted doing Susan a favor by going upstairs and delivering those things to Edgar. If it weren’t for that, she

would not even be bothered.

“Your hearing still hasn’t recovered?” Andy asked with his eyes narrowed.

Jean remained silent and pointed at her ears before replying loudly, “I’m sorry! I still can’t hear anything!”

The rest of the employees in the cubicles heard that and turned around.

At this moment, Gigi walked out of Edgar’s office and saw both Jean and Andy.

“What’s wrong?” Edgar asked, ignoring the wailing Gigi; his priority was always Jean.

After all, there had been enough rumors about them, but he didn’t have the time to ask the public relations team to

take care of it.

“Nothing much. I just ran into Ms. Eyer by coincidence, and I was just greeting her. It’s not a problem, is it?” He

shrugged and smiled playfully before cocking his head toward Jean and whispering into her ears.

Even though she put on a calm facade and pretended as though she heard nothing, she was deeply shocked by

what she had just heard.

Andy observed her reaction with a frown. After a while, he laughed softly. “So you really can’t hear anything, huh?”

“Edgar! I forbid you to look at her! The collaboration between you and Eyer Group has already been called off,

hasn’t it? From now onwards, don’t even speak to her! I’m enough for you, am I not?” Gigi continued to pester

Edgar as she sobbed.

Meanwhile, she also glared at Jean occasionally, as though she wanted to skin her alive.

Many employees came over to witness the drama. After all, it was not everyday one could see the love triangle of

their company’s president.

“Enough! Miles, send her back! Without my permission, she is forbidden to enter Royden Group!”

Gigi was stunned beyond belief when she heard that. When she was being escorted away, she even held Andy’s

arms instinctively.

However, he gently brushed her hands away and commented, “Mr. Royden, since you are busy with something

else, I’ll take my leave first.”

Since Gigi’s request for help was ignored, she could only watch the elevator door close tearfully.

“Has Jean gone deaf for real?” she asked Miles.

With the Reece family’s pride in mind, he replied in a low voice, “I’m not entirely sure.”

“She’d better be!”

She walked out of Royden Group angrily, but there was no one to help her out. Now that she was getting bigger

because of the pregnancy, the other celebrities avoided her; Linda had not contacted her for a long time, and she

didn’t even pick up the phone.

If this situation goes on, I’m really going to become a housewife who’s disconnected with the outside world.

All of a sudden, someone popped into her mind, and she dialed a number after some consideration.

“Has Winnie been doing what she’s been told? Tell her to wait for my message if she still wants to return.”

Not long after the car started driving, she saw Andy’s car behind her. He also sent her a message.

“He ignored me just now, and now he’s asking for forgiveness?”

She wanted to reject him until she saw the second message from him.

“Jean’s reputation will be destroyed tonight.”

“Stop!” She ordered the driver and got out of the car to enter Andy’s car.

“You have a plan?”

“I’ve already put the bait out. As long as she bites, she won’t be able to get out of it. The rest of her life will be

ruined. If you are satisfied with the outcome, what will you bring me?”

Gigi bit her lips before saying viciously, “Don’t you want Royden Group? I’ll make sure your son inherits the

company. Isn’t that enough?”

“In that case… bear me more children.”

With that, he grabbed her thigh and turned into the basement parking of a nearby hotel.

At the very same moment, Jean was sitting on the couch in Edgar’s office.

Were Andy’s words just now real? He said that there’s important evidence about Eyer Group’s bankruptcy stored in

the safe in Edgar’s office!
