Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 365 What’s Past Is Past

Ally walked over slowly. “May I go in and see him?” “How are you related to the patient? You can see him if you’re

directly related to him.”

Ally scratched her delicate brows as she turned to look at Myer for help. “She’s my son’s fiancée.” Myer gave Ally

the green light. “Come over and get disinfected,” the nurse said as she led Ally in.

Leah was livid, but she was held back by Colin. “Leave it. That’s the daughter of the Sans family. Don’t offend her.”

“But you can’t just suffer in silence. Your injuries aren’t minor.” Leah looked around and suddenly glared at Jean.

“She must have been the one to tell Ben about this. Was it worth it fighting over with his cousin for a woman like

that?”

There was a desolate expression on Colin’s face.

He knew full well that he couldn’t blame anyone. He had been drunk, and it had slipped out when he was at a

dinner party with others, which was why it spread to Ben.

It was up to Jean if she wanted to invest.

But Leah blamed it on Jean.

Seeing Ally walk in, Myer came to Farra and Jean with a dark face. “Bennie needs to rest. You can leave if there’s

nothing else.”

He ignored Farra’s expression and turned to walk into the elevator after that.

“That old geezer. He doesn’t listen to anyone.”

She turned and comforted Jean. “Don’t take it to heart. I will look for an opportunity to tell him what you think so

that there won’t be a misunderstanding. Also, about Ally being Bennie’s fiancée, there’s no such…”

“Mrs. Ludwig, it’s fine.”

Jean’s lips twitched. She smiled. “You don’t have to explain so much.”

Farra swallowed back what she had wanted to say when she heard what Jean said.

If she said anymore, she would be going against Jean’s will. Farra felt guilty as she saw how Jean had her guard up

against her.

“I said so many hurtful things to you in the past. I’m to blame. You’re a mature, good girl. You’ll find someone that

you like.” Farra patted Jean’s hand and sighed slowly.

All is fair in love and war.

Putting in time and effort wouldn’t necessarily be rewarded.

Inside the room, Ben had awoken and was done with his check-up.

“Your bones aren’t injured but do take note of your movements. Come for a check-up in two weeks,” the doctor

said before instructing the nurses to discharge him.

Ben knew that Jean would be there, so he got up and wanted to leave but was stopped by Ally, who had come

barging in.

“Step aside.”

“Are you going to see Jean? She left after being berated by Mr. Ludwig.”

Ally started to spin a tale of her own unblinkingly. “I saw someone pick her up. It looked like Edgar from the figure.

There’s no use in running out now. You won’t be able to catch up with her.”

Ben stopped. There was a clear disappointment on his face.

Ally took the opportunity and walked to his other side. “I think Mr. Ludwig is right. If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t

have gotten into a fight by the road. This has affected the Ludwig Group badly. I don’t know how much you’ll have

to spend to improve your image.”

“Our image?”

Ben glanced at her with a cold expression.

“Yes. In business, the company’s reputation is most important, along with your image. But you don’t have to worry.

I’ve asked my dad to look for the best public relations company. This negative news will soon be wiped clean.”

Many people would do so in the industry.

To maintain their favorable image and expand business connections, no expense would be spared at outsourcing

companies to protect their reputation and image.

The news about Ben getting into a fight because of Jean would soon spread.

When the time came, such public relations tricks were essential.

Although that was the case, as Ally was telling him about these well-thought-out plans, Ben didn’t have a favorable

impression of her at all.

She was the type of girl that his dad would be satisfied with, but not the type that he liked.

“Ben, why aren’t you saying anything? Do you think that I’m being too meddlesome? I only did this for you. I’ve also

talked about this with Mr. Ludwig, and he is pleased with it.”

“Really?” Ben got up and put on his coat. There were still traces from his fight yesterday.

Ally saw his ice-cold expression and shrunk as she took half a step back. She slowly nodded and said, “Don’t get into

any more fights in the future. You’ll seem like a reckless rich son, and it isn’t good at all.”

If it weren’t for Ben’s good looks, youth, and background, Ally wouldn’t take the initiative to stick to him if he

weren’t so much stronger than her brother.

She believed that as long as she put in the effort, Ben would date her sooner or later.

After all, she was so obedient and mature. Myer approved of her as well.

Ben smiled in disdain. He turned and walked to her as he said coldly, “I would be perfectly happy to fight for Jean all

my life.”

Ally’s face paled. “You…”

“Also, you have the gift of the gab, which pleases my dad. Why don’t you work harder for him to divorce my mom?

That’s another way you can marry into the family.”

“What do you mean by that!”

Ally stood where she was as she cried out in anger.

But Ben had already left.

She bit the corners of her lips viciously. “What’s so great about Jean?”

Ben’s legs hurt a little, and his elbow had been hit, but he had to see Jean. When he opened the door, her figure

was nowhere to be seen in the corridor.

Seeing him come out, Farra went up to him at once and said, “Jeannie just left. She asked me to give this to you.

She has something to do and couldn’t stay.”

Ben held the folder, and his gaze was directed at Colin and Leah, who weren’t far away.

Colin immediately looked down. He didn’t have the nerve to meet Ben’s gaze.

But Leah snorted rudely. “A TV station wants to interview a company of such a small scale? What a joke.”

She thought that Jean wasn’t investing in them and had told Ben about it, which caused Colin to get beat up. Now,

the news spread about the unsuccessful business that the couple had started. They became the laughingstock of

everyone.

She had to get her revenge sooner or later.

Ben made his way over and asked Colin coldly, “Are you very confident about your project?”

“I…”

Leah immediately interrupted, “Of course. I did go and look for Jean, but I did it for you since you want to pursue

her so badly. It would be advantageous for you if we became business partners. As for you, you beat up your cousin

with no regard for right or wrong!”

“Alright, that’s enough.” Colin felt ashamed.

He understood his abilities well. He knew that no one would invest in that project.

Ben sneered. “You wanted to help me? Should I thank you then?”

“There’s no need for that. If you apologize earnestly and give us the money for investment, I will find it in my heart

to forgive the two of you.”
