Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 241 Gentlemen

Jean looked at him in shock, but remained still. He chuckled gently upon seeing that. “The person I want to give this

to looks like you.” Is he chasing after some other women?

A weird feeling passed through her, but she did not ask any more questions. She merely took the bracelet and put it

on her wrist. “Is there any meaning behind the design?”

He vaguely remembered that she had hung a lot of drawings up in the corridor of Eyer residence. It used to be her

favorite spot. Every time he went there, she would introduce her designs and her creative ideas to him

enthusiastically.

As it had been too long, he could not remember exactly what she had said, since he was just putting on a show

back then. At one point, he even regarded her as someone who was as cruel as her father.

Never once had he expected that one day he would give everything just to return to that moment in the afternoon.

“It’s nothing special. You can put a small photograph in here,” she explained softly and turned the bracelet around.

This was a little trick she designed, hoping that the women who bought the bracelet had somewhere to hide a little

secret to herself.

The reason for that design was to inspire them to do something that would make themselves happy. Edgar arched

his eyebrows. “Wrap it up.” With that, he passed a bank card to her. “Someone will pick you up later.” “What?”

He laughed. “Stop feigning innocence. The Knox family are throwing a party tonight. I assume Jensen is going to

pick you up, isn’t he?”

She frowned upon hearing that. How did he know my plans? “But I’m going to be a step ahead of him and take you

there first.” She did not understand his intentions, but she was uncomfortable with his tone.

I’m a human, not an item he can simply play with. And I don’t want to do anything relating to him. The closer I get

to him, the more I want to escape from this city. “It’s none of your business, and I–”

“If you want to see your old family mansion burned to the ground, feel free to reject me,” he said nonchalantly. Her

furious expression was reflected in his deep, dark eyes.

He was the one who ruined my family, yet he can’t leave me alone now. After throwing the ultimatum at her, he left

with the bracelet. Then, the salesperson came over and asked, “Do you guys know each other?”

“No,” she replied briskly and walked into the store with a frown. I shouldn’t have gone out just now!

Soon, Edgar’s driver came to the store. In order not to attract any attention, she got into the car. She sent a

message informing Jensen about this.

At the same time, she also sent a text to Edgar to give him a warning. ‘I’ll be attending the party, please bear all

the consequences if something happens.”

At this point, everyone knew about the collaboration between Royden Group and Eyer Group. The people from

Royden Group were worried about it, and it had affected the partnerships with other companies.

Under such circumstances, if Edgar continued to hang out with her, the stakeholders in his company would surely

be disagreeable.

She frowned at the streets outside, unable to fathom the reason for his behavior. He’s a smart person, so why is he

willing to go along with a transaction that brings no benefit to him?

As the mansion of the Knox family showed up, she retracted her gaze and sighed.

Just as she was about to get out of the car, she saw Gigi at the entrance wearing a silver dress. She didn’t mind at

all when people asked her when she was due, and she was wearing the bracelet on her wrist, the very same one

Edgar had just bought from Jean.

The light reflected from it was beautiful and shining, but Jean was not happy to see that at all.

All the hard work that I’ve put into the bracelet, and it iis simply used by Edgar to please Gigi.

Meanwhile, when Gigi saw Edgar’s car, she walked over excitedly.

“Edgar, I–”

Her face fell the instant she saw Jean.

“Why are you here? Get out of the car!”

Jean was already used to her insults. Looking at the guest behind her, she smiled. “Didn’t Edgar tell you that he

asked his driver to send me here?”

“Impossible!” Gigi lost her temper and tried to pull her. However, before she could even touch Jean, she lost

balance and knocked her head on the car because of her huge action.

The commotion attracted the attention of the guests.

“Is that Edgar’s car?”

“Gigi seems to be yelling at the woman in the car.”

“I’ve heard that Edgar doesn’t really care about her. Otherwise, why is he dragging things out until now?”

The comments from them shot right at Gigi like blades. Nevertheless, now that she was already in this situation, she

could not just walk away – that would prove that Edgar indeed was giving Jean better treatment.

Biting her red lips, she said, “Get out!”

“I might consider if you beg me.”

With that, Jean took out her phone to look at the time.

Feeling jealous and hateful, Gigi said, “Get lost! You, right there, take her away! If she gets out of the car tonight

and walks into the mansion, I’ll ask Edgar to fire you!” she berated the driver shrilly.

“Ms. Reece, Mr. Royden himself asked me to send her here. I can’t possibly take your orders.”

Gigi was stumped upon hearing that. She couldn’t even make a driver listen to her now.

Seeing that they were gaining more attention, she lowered her voice. “You’re good at this! Do whatever you want!”

Then, she walked up the staircase. As long as I spread the news about Jean’s shamelessness, no one will believe

her!

Such plans were in her mind, but she was unaware that another person was currently walking toward Jean.

“Are you okay?” Jensen went to pick her up as soon as he received her message.

He was wearing a gray suit with a pair of silver-framed glasses that made him look studious and gentlemanly. The

chivalry shown by him as he helped Jean out of the car made the female guests envious.

After all, only a few single, eligible men were left in the region. Ben and Jensen were a part of them, but they were

now hanging around Jean.

“It seems like the Ludwig family wasn’t invited this time around?”

“It means that Ben won’t be here.” A girl sighed disappointedly.

Right at this moment, a red, ostentatious sports car entered their sight. As soon as Ben got out of the car, he

looked at Jean passionately and walked over to her.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re here?”

“You’re so busy lately. I didn’t dare to interrupt anything,” she replied with a smile, but she was actually thinking.

If it weren’t for Edgar’s threat and insistence, I wouldn’t even be here. But since I’m already here, I’m going to

make the best of it. I should start with saying hello to Mr. Rocher inside.

Just like that, Ben and Jensen were on her flanks as she entered the Knox family mansion, making the rest of the

women jealous of her.
