Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 65 He Went to See Jean!

Edgar's gaze slightly flickered as he stood up and placed a blank check on the table."Fill in any number you like, but you only have 15 hours to think about it." He started to walk away from her. "You don't have to ruin the rest of your life just to take revenge on me. It's as though you're throwing straws against the wind - it's ridiculous."

Thud. As the door shut, Jean clenched her fists tightly. She clearly had the upper hand here, but his simple sentence threw her into deep thoughts again.

She had no idea how long had passed until someone knocked on her door - the hotel manager and the local police. "Jean Eyer, please assist in the investigation. A taxi driver has gone missing."

When the guests in other rooms heard this commotion, they came out to have a look. Jean merely closed the door behind her nonchalantly and said, "Sure."

At the other end of the corridor, Sally was just watching Jean as the latter was being brought away. Then, she saw Ally and Ben walking out of the elevator.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Gritting her teeth, she approached Ally and said, "Jean was brought away by the police."

A triumphant look flitted across Ally's eyes, but it was well-hidden, so Ben did not notice it at all. She even pretended to be anxious about it. "What should we do, Ben?"

Ben's face darkened as he automatically related the incident to Edgar. "I'll think of a way. Let me know as soon as she returns."

With that, he left them in huge strides, thinking about seeking help from a few friends to bail Jean out.

"Don't worry!" Ally said. I will definitely keep an eye here. As long as it's more than two days, we will have to return to Yorktown, leaving Jean behind. She doesn't have her money, phone, or passport with her. I don't believe that she'll be able to get back!

Then, Sally saw Ally walk into Jean's room after speaking to the hotel manager.

As soon as she entered the room, she started rummaging Jean's belongings and throwing them into a huge bag.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm helping her to put her things away. If she has to go to the prison here, the hotel won't be taking care of her personal belongings for her."

"How are you so sure that she will be in prison? What if she has nothing to do with the incident?"

Sally was seeing red flags in this incident, but Ally merely mumbled with her back against her, "It's none of your business."

After Jean was brought away, rumors started spreading like wildfire in the hotel.

When they reached Gigi, she was over the moon.

"Aha! Karma is a b*tch, indeed! What pleasing news! She'd better stay in the prison here forever!" Gigi beamed cruelly. The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Contents belong Since fashion week starts tomorrow, I'm going to have a celebration beforehand.

She changed into a flowery dress and knocked on Edgar's room.

The door was quickly opened by him, and she quickly flashed a sweet smile. "Edgar, I heard that the restaurant downstairs serves good supper. Would you like to try it together?"

At this moment, Edgar was worrying about meeting Kennedy, and he needed to join fashion week as Gigi's partner.

"Sure."

She was delighted to hear that. I knew it! As long as I listen to him, he will never ignore me!

Both of them walked into the restaurant together.

Not long after they ordered their meal, they heard the next table discussing Jean's incident.

"A leopard can't change its spots. She is too wicked."

"I heard that no one in her company likes her. Why did MON & Co. even hire her?"

"Speak softly. Someone might overhear you."

"So what? She's about to be in prison anyway!"

Edgar merely took a sip of his coffee without any change in his expression.

Gigi, on the other hand, could hardly hide her delight.

"Edgar, you've heard this news as well, I assume? Jean was taken by the police again. I really don't know what she's thinking. Why does she have to ruin her own life?" Gigi feigned a look of pity, but glee was written all over her face. This was the best display of her hypocrisy.

At that instant, Jean's face suddenly appeared in Edgar's thoughts.

If she's the one sitting opposite to me right now, how will I react? No matter what she says, I'm sure it will not be as revolting as Gigi.

With that thought in mind, he rubbed his temples.

Gigi finally calmed down when the meal arrived.

Taking advantage of this timely opportunity, Edgar said, "I'll go to fashion week with you tomorrow."

"Great!" Shocked to hear that, Gigi beamed from ear to ear.

At this moment, Miles barged into the room and spoke to Edgar in a low voice.

Gigi could not hear their conversation, but she clearly saw the change in Edgar's expression.

Right after that, he got up immediately. "I have something to deal with. You go ahead with the meal first."

"But-" Before Gigi could stop him, he was already gone.

Biting her lips, she thought, I was so close! If he stayed here for a bitm longer, I could get him to drink a couple glasses of wine. Perhaps we could even spend the night together.

With fury raging in her, she glanced at Miles. "What on earth is going on?"

"Company matters." With that, he turned to leave.

Gigi stopped him. "I'm going to be Mrs. Royden soon, so I think I have the right to know if you don't tell me, I'll ask Edgar to fire you immediately. What a dumb assistant!”

Miles paused upon hearing that. A dark look flitted across his eyes underneath his glasses, but he quickly resumed his usual gentleness.

"Ms. Eyer called Mr. Royden from the police station, so he went to see her," he said coolly.

With that, he ignored the shocked expression on Gigi's face and left.

Since she wanted to know about it, so there it is.

"Jean!" Ignoring all the other restaurant guests, Gigi ran out to chase after Edgar.

However, she accidentally knocked into a couch and sprained her ankle.

"Ouch! I-It hurts!"

"Gigi!" Coincidentally, Linda had come to the restaurant for a meal as well. She quickly helped Big up and said anxiously, "Fashion week starts tomorrow! Yet you sprained your ankle now?"

Gigi was furious.
