Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 314 Contradiction

When Edgar came out of the shower, he saw a bowl of soup on the dining table. There was an apron around Gigi.

She smiled gently, “Try it, Edgar. I spent hours making this.”

Gigi had sent Susan away. Susan was the one who made the soup. Gigi would tell any kind of lie just to look good in

front of Edgar. Edgar took a spoonful and put the soup down. He knew full well how Susan’s soup tasted and just

couldn’t be bothered to expose Gigi. “Isn’t it delicious?” Gigi smiled sweetly. “If you like it, I’ll make it every day…”

“What are you planning to do with Jean’s case?” Edgar interrupted her. He lifted his hand as he took food onto his

plate and started eating.

Gigi’s smile slowly stiffened. She blinked and said, “I will deal with it as I should. She hurt my son. You can’t expect

me to ignore this, can you?”

As soon as she said it, she carefully looked at Edgar’s expression.

“Edgar, even if I don’t pursue this, won’t you? She is your ex-wife, and he is our son. No matter what, she should

never have laid a finger on a child.”

Gigi wanted Jean to have such a criminal accusation against her.

It would be best if Jean was sentenced to five or eight years in jail so that when she was released, Edgar wouldn’t

remember her at all.

Edgar’s brows slowly tightened. “She’s not that kind of person.”

“Which kind?”

Gigi laughed lightly and took another bowl of soup. She ate it slowly. “Edgar, you may know a person’s face but not

their heart. She had a miscarriage previously and may have some psychological problems. She’s jealous that I gave

birth to your child, which is why she went crazy and treated our child badly. If I forgive her so easily, anyone will

have the nerve to bully my child in the future.”

“They won’t.” Edgar looked at her. “Either make it a civil suit or drop it. Think of a compromise. There’s no need to

make this the talk of the town.”

Gigi gripped her spoon and bit the corner of her lips hard. She didn’t say anything for a long time.

The air around the dining table was particularly stifling.

“Why do you only believe Jean and not me!”

“Because the matter of you working with Andy to steal an internal document from Royden Group hasn’t been

concluded yet.” Edgar raised his cold eyes slightly. “Gigi, I do not trust you at all. Even if Jean personally confessed

to everything, I would still feel like there’s something behind the scenes.”

Gigi’s face instantly paled. She bit on the corner of her lips hard. After a long time, she sneered. “She has such an

important place in your heart, after all.”

“Think about it carefully. If this matter is blown up, it won’t be advantageous for you. If you’re engulfed into two

lawsuits at once, you and your family can’t escape unscathed.”

This decisive manner of Edgar pierced Gigi’s heart viciously.

She looked at him as her tears fell. “No matter how hard I try, I can’t compare to Jean, can I?”

Edgar didn’t say anything.

His cell phone rang. It was a call from Miles.

“Mr. Royden, the police have found evidence of Sam colluding with Andy in Sam’s study room. Maybe this has

nothing to do with Gigi after all.”

Edgar’s brows furrowed as he made his way out.

Gigi was left at home alone. He was in such a rush that he didn’t say anything to her.

“Is Jean looking for you again?” Gigi chuckled. Her eyes were filled with hatred. “Alright. Then I will give you a

reason to care for her.”

Susan, who was bringing out fruits, stood at the back of the dining room as she looked at Gigi’s malicious

expression. Her heart thumped furiously.

Not long after Edgar had left, Gigi changed her clothes and left. She was dressed extremely fashionably.

She wanted Jean to personally see how much Edgar doted on her!

On the way, Gigi made a call to her lawyer and only asked about one thing. “Why hasn’t Jean been arrested after so

long? Is there insufficient evidence? Alright. I will provide you with evidence.”

Jean had expected Gigi to come looking for her.

“You must have heard that Edgar and I have officially registered our marriage.” Gigi started boasting as soon as she

walked in through the doors. “And I’ve moved into Royden Residence. He bought me a lot of clothes and

accessories. I can’t wear them all in time.”

Jean nodded. “I saw it on the news.”

Her unconcerned manner made Gigi more envious.

“Don’t think that I picked up a man you didn’t want. You are the one who was abandoned by Edgar. You better stay

far away from him in the future. Otherwise, if there’s news of anything unbecoming, don’t blame me for making

my move.”

Gigi’s personality was as she always had been. Arrogant and headstrong.

Jean sat down across from her. “Can we not talk about Edgar? I want to talk to you about something else.”

Gigi raised her brows slightly, and she laughed a little. “What else do we have to talk about? The Eyer family has

fallen to such dire straits.”

Ben walked through the doors as he was holding other things and he heard Gigi say such nasty things menacingly.

He couldn’t let her be, even as an outsider.

“Can you speak more nicely? If you don’t know how to, keep your mouth shut!”

“It’s fine, Ben,” Jean said in a low voice.

“Look at her. Power has gone to her head. If it wasn’t for you helping her, Edgar would have…”

“Ben!”

Jean dragged him away so that he wouldn’t say anything else.

Gigi sat in her spot with an unnatural expression. Seeing their intimate interactions, she couldn’t help but mock

them. “If you’re so infatuated with her, Mr. Ludwig, marry her so that she can stop causing trouble for me.”

Gigi looked around, and after she was sure that Edgar wasn’t coming over, she got up and decided to leave.

Before she left, she smiled and said, “Even though there’s an agreement between us and I said that I would drop

the lawsuit against you once Edgar believes me, he hasn’t declared his position yet. I think that we have to continue

with our show, don’t you think so?”

“Otherwise, it isn’t just me. You have to take responsibility too.”

“You’re really…” Ben couldn’t take it anymore. “If it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t hit women, you wouldn’t be able

to walk out of these doors in one piece.”

Gigi was frightened by his expression and backed away in a hurry.

“There’s no use in threatening me, Mr. Ludwig. I’ve entrusted my lawyer to deal with this. The case will end how it

should!”

Gigi contradicted herself as she left Eyer Residence quickly.

Ben’s brows tightened. “Look at her. Is it worth laying the groundwork for a person like that? I think there may have

been a problem with the test results from the hospital. She isn’t like you or Mr. Eyer at all.”

Jean’s head sank. “She’s been influenced by the Reece family since she was young. It’s normal for her to act like

the Reece family. Furthermore, I didn’t tell her the truth. I can understand why she treats me like an enemy.”

“Jeannie, what did she mean by that? You have to think about it carefully. She wants to send you to prison once and

for all. I don’t think you should do as you have planned. You should retract your confession at once and say that she

was the one who instructed you to do as such.”

Ben couldn’t bear for her sincerity to be tread upon by others.

Jean shook her head.

“Then my dad’s spirit in the heavens will be sad.”

When her dad was still alive, he always told her that a family needs to take care of each other.

She had to take up the responsibility of being an older sister.
