Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 384 Incomprehensible

She reluctantly closed the door to her house and left. When she arrived at the Roydens’ Villa, Gigi opened the door.

“You’re here so soon.” Gigi slanted her head and smiled. “He’s already asleep. Would you like me to wake him up

for you?”

She behaved as if she was the lady of the house. Furthermore, her face was slightly flushed. It was evident that she

drank some wine. Even the house smelled faintly of alcohol.

Jean could not help but feel she should not be here. Then, Gigi exclaimed, “Don’t misunderstand. I came here by

myself. I only drank a little with him. He didn’t expect my visit.” Jean furrowed her brow. “What are you up to?”

Jean did all she could to deal with Edbert, but Gigi was willing to be his pawn. If this went on, there would be no

solution to this matter. Gigi smiled uncaringly. Her lips curved up exaggeratedly.

“Even now, you still won’t be frank with me. What am I to do? Of course, I’m here to snatch Edgar back.” It was the

quickest way to defeat Jean.

Furthermore, Gigi was not infatuated with Edgar this time. She planned to kick him off once she got what she

wanted. Jean frowned and remained silent.

“Why? Are you the only one allowed to get back together with him? Why can’t I be with him too? Moreover, you

haven’t married him and have no right to boss me around.” Gigi sneered and headed into the living room.

“Come in if you want.”

She walked gracefully between the couch and the coffee table before lying down on the couch.

“Gigi, you…”

“Huh?”

She looked up and smiled charmingly. “Actually, we can share the same man. What’s wrong with that?”

‘Smack!’

Jean rushed over and slapped Gigi’s face.

When Jean pulled her hand away, she was shocked by what she did.

On the other hand, Gigi appeared calm. She looked up at Jean and smiled. “What gives you the right to hit me? Is it

because you’re my elder sister?”

Jean could not believe what she had heard.

She knows!

Did Edbert tell her, or was it Sam?

She looked at Gigi with eyes full of turbulent emotions. She could not stop her heart from beating wildly.

“Don’t look at me as if you pity me. How am I worthy of your concern? Now that you get to be Mrs. Royden again,

you don’t care whether I die. Moreover, you have never planned to recognize me as your sister! No matter how my

life is in the Reece family, it’s none of your business!”

Gigi growled and looked at Jean with contempt.

“Oh, I almost forgot. You have long detested and hated me for snatching Edgar from you. You must be ashamed to

have me as your sister.”

Her words were like knives, piercing Jean’s heart.

“Who told you?”

Gigi’s smile widened. “Does it matter?”

She turned around immediately and walked around the living room drunkenly. “I was treated like a precious jewel in

the Reece family since I was little and grew up as Sam Reece’s beloved daughter. Yet, since I met you, my life

became like a shattered mirror and could never recover to its original state.”

“Sam has been lying to you since the beginning.” Jean hesitated and decided not to tell her the truth about their

father’s death.

Sam Reece made the Eyer family fall to its current state and separated Jean and Gigi for so many years.

Gigi sneered. “What do you know? Before I found out I was another person’s daughter, Sam doted on me. He

bought me expensive purses and let me get close to powerful men. He did so much more for me than my biological

father!”

“No…”

Jean wanted to explain, but Gigi suddenly grabbed a vase from the side and charged toward Jean.

Suddenly, a strong force pulled Jean away.

The vase shattered on the floor, but Jean was safe behind Edgar. He was never asleep. Instead, he pretended to be

drunk and went to his room to hide from Gigi.

Therefore, he heard everything Jean and Gigi were saying just now.

“That’s enough.”

Gigi was all alone at the side. She felt a stab to her heart as she watched Edgar being concerned about Jean.

She had made so much effort to this day.

Yet, in the end, she was a stepping stone for Jean and Edgar’s love.

She looked up at Jean with eyes full of hatred. “You two are meant to be.”

Fury spread all over Edgar’s stern and handsome face. “You have better speak now. Who is the mastermind behind

everything?”

This was the final chance he gave her.

Jean’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing the question.

Gigi looked at Edgar and Jean and began laughing. “Isn’t it tiring for the two of you to keep acting with each other?

Edgar, you know she is lying. She would have done it long ago if she had wanted to get back together with you.”

“She hates you to the core. She thought of another man even as she lay in your embrace.”

“You asked who the mastermind is. Sorry. I will never tell you, even the day I die. Once I’m dead, Jean will never tell

you either.”

After saying that, Gigi fell backward and fainted.

“Gigi!”

Jean rushed to her and kept calling her name. She immediately phoned an ambulance.

Edgar stood behind them and kept observing Jean. His tone was cold as ice. “Why did you come here tonight?”

He knew someone must have known his whereabouts and informed Jean. However, she did not come here for him.

Edgar forced down the burning fury in his chest and looked at her fiercely. “Answer me!”

Jean heard him shouting and replied, “Now is not the right time to talk about this.”

She planned not to be bothered about Gigi, but she could not stand seeing her suffer before her eyes.

Her silence angered Edgar even more. After Gigi was brought to the hospital’s emergency room, he still waited for

Jean to answer his question.

“Mr. Royden, Ms. Reece’s condition is no longer life-threatening, but the doctor said she has to be hospitalized for

observation.”

“Make sure nothing about this gets leaked out.”

“Yes, Mr. Royden,” Miles answered and immediately left to make arrangements.

The corridor became silent. Jean sat at the side with her head down. She bit her lower lip as she sensed Edgar

coming closer.

“Are you still unwilling to tell me the truth? Am I that untrustworthy to you?”

Edgar clenched his fists. He was at the limit of his control.

All this while, he did everything and made excuses to numb his feelings. He wanted her to come clean to him of her

own volition.

“Or are you saying you trust Ben more than me?”

He could no longer hold back his anger and got up to leave.

Jean remained in the same spot and felt terrible. She looked at Edgar walking away and almost lost control of her

emotions. However, she forced them back down and resisted running after him to explain.

Nothing would change even if she told him the truth.

The surgery room light went off. Soon, nurses pushed Gigi to the ward. Jean got up and walked behind them.

There were still plenty of things she needed to do.

Edgar, I’m sorry.
