Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 99 Done With It

Now it was Jean’s turn to be shocked. They had indeed met before, although that was two years ago at one of her

teacher’s houses. Back then, she had not spoken to him.

“We did, two years ago, at Mr. Salvador’s house.” Jean told him truthfully, but Sky merely nodded. It seems, he

doesn’t remember. Jean lowered her head and did not say another word.

There were already rumors of her entering the company with her connections. She did not want another rumor to

spread. Very quickly, the selection process ended.

The team she was put into had four other MON & Co. designers. It seemed like they all knew Sky well, but that they

were all afraid of him. Jean knew she was a newcomer, so she decided to observe quietly. Having not said anything,

the other four quickly assigned her the heavy-duty work.

“So, you’re okay with moving the equipment at the site tomorrow, right?” Zoe Hardly ordered. Zoe wasn’t too

senior in age, but she spoke with authority.

Jean gave the badge on her chest a glance.

Design section. She must know what she’s doing.

Jean nodded her head, “Got it.”

The four of them came together again and started to discuss the pieces and how to coordinate them. Very

obviously, Jean had become the errand-runner.

All the other teams were in similar situations, some had split into twos and threes, and some were just doing

individual work. That was the thing about designers; they were boastful and hardly yielded to others.

Jean had seen many of these kinds of people at school and was used to it. She sat quietly to the side, thinking to

herself. Then, she felt a piercing gaze on her.

She looked over and saw Xander Quade.

He was talking to Sky Wilton outside in the hallway. She couldn’t hear anything as the door was closed, so she

looked at them through the mirror. She wrinkled her brows as she thought about his smile during the selection. She

watched as they walked back to their own offices.。

Once Jean pushed open the door, she saw Kellan and Sally waiting for her.

“Congratulations on being chosen, Jean!” Sally greeted excitedly. “Can I bring you food tomorrow? I want to see

how a shooting goes, who knows, I might even see a celebrity!”

Jean could tell that she was sincerely happy for her.

“I’ll send you the shooting location later. If there’s a lunch break, I’ll let you know, then you won’t have to rush

over.”

Jean took her phone out and saw a receipt for a payment. She squinted at it.

Winnie was pretty quick, but this number isn’t right.

On the other hand, Kellan was looking at Jean with eyes full of envy. “The people Mr. Wilton heads usually moves

quite quickly in the industry. Maybe, you too, will soon have people working under you.”

Jean sent the location to Sally and put her phone back while clearing her things to get off work. She did not even

look up when she asked, “Are you jealous?”

“Of course.”

“Then you shouldn’t just sit around and wait for the opportunity to come. Do you think that lottery was all based on

luck?” Jean said slowly and deliberately, her face calm.

Jean left Kellan speechless as she left the office.

Sally wasn’t there, so she did not know what had happened. She went over to comfort Kellan, “You know how she is,

don’t think too much about it.”

Kellan stood stumped for a bit before realization hit him, “I’m gonna go.”

He quickly ran to Hansen’s office. He knew he couldn’t just wait around after hearing what Jean said. Those people

that were selected today were all experienced designers that had power in the company. It was only Jean who was

different to them. Could that really be a coincidence?

Ten minutes later, Kellan left Hansen’s office, his face relieved of the nervousness from before. All the designers

with power had gone off to be helpers, but there were still some product proposals to be dealt with. He had gone to

Hansen’s office to promote himself and had gotten a small brand’s business proposal. Although it did not pay well, it

would be the first project he headed. Kellan’s hands were shaking as he left the office.

Sally was waiting for him by the door. “Are you okay? Were you shocked by Jean?”

“I’m okay! I’m going to bring you two out for a meal when Jean finishes her work. No, not just one meal, I’ll buy you

dinner all week!”

Sally could not understand why he was acting like that but laughed along, “If Jean knows she can save on a week’s

worth of food, she will be delighted.”

On the other side, Jean was still in the company and bumped into Xander. She stopped her steps and boldly asked,

“Why did you put me in Sky Wilton’s team?”

She wasn’t stupid. It was obvious that the other four had worked under Sky before. They worked in tandem and did

not need directions. Zoe Hardly led the group, and they all listened to her without questions. She even decided on

the shooting flow without consulting Sky.

It was either that the team was missing an errand runner, or that Jean was replacing someone that had been

pushed out.

Either way, Jean felt like she was at the mercy of someone. It displeased her, especially since that someone was

Xander Quade.

“No wonder all the professors at school liked you. You are very smart.” Xander looked as though he was analyzing

her with his long and narrow eyes.

“Just say it, what are you trying to achieve?” Jean was not being patient at all, and she did not want to waste her

time on meaningless things.

“Since you did not accept my proposal, I could only do things my own way.”

Jean raised an eyebrow and slowly stepped toward him, “You’re just a teacher for the interns. Don’t make me

disclose your dirty tricks.”

If it were to go out to the public, the higher-ups would definitely fire him. If not, those thirsty for a position would

surely do something about him.

“Don’t push me, I don’t have time for your meaningless games.” Jean threatened and walked into the elevator.

She did not expect Xander to be so brazen as to stop the doors of the elevator. He squeezed into the elevator and

stared a Jean. “I told you, I just want to work with you. Didn’t you enter MON & Co. so that you could return to your

world and take revenge on Edgar Royden? I can help you achieve your goal in the shortest time possible. You may

not trust me, but surely you can trust my family. Anything would be a hundred times better than your situation now,

right? He smirked, sure that Jean would work with him.

It made her uncomfortable. She gritted her teeth, “I’ve said before; I don’t want to say it a third time.”

Xander frowned and looked at her. A sudden thought came across his mind, “Surely you don’t think that you can

bring Edgar down by yourself?”

What does Jean have now? She has nothing, and even her accommodation is in the slums.

“One word from Edgar Royden brought you into MON & Co. What do you have to use against him? You can’t even

seduce him with your body.”

Jean did not think twice before kicking him. The sound of a shoe hitting something sounded before an ear-piercing

scream rang through. By the time people arrived to see what happened, all they could see was a pale-faced

Xander Quade cowering in the corner, in so much pain that he couldn’t even stand up straight.
