Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 102 A Coincidence

Edgar’s company was not involved in the entertainment industry. However, since he was in a relationship with Gigi,

everyone in the entertainment industry knew not to anger him with minor matters.

Thus, Fred accepted the card Linda offered and let Gigi in. “Gigi, you must grab this chance and see whether you

can trigger Edgar’s jealousy,” Linda said through gritted teeth. “If he gets jealous, it means he has feelings for you.”

Gigi sighed. She walked in and saw many half-naked male models, causing her to gulp. At the same time, she could

not help but imagine how nice it would be if Edgar stood half-naked like them before her.

She was so engrossed with her imagination that she did not respond to Linda calling her name. “Gigi! Stop standing

there and go change your clothes. Later, I will try to get you a bracelet or some jewelry to wear. If you pose well,

they will use your footage.”

Linda kept urging Gigi. She planned to give Gigi as much exposure as possible before Gigi’s pregnancy became

obvious. Since Gigi had Royden Group as her financial backer, Linda believed Gigi had a good chance of getting

popular.

Gigi nodded and rushed to the changing room at the back.

However, she could be heard screaming a few seconds later.

“Argh! Perverts!”

A few workers came in with the background boards. They were not photoshoot staff but workers Jean hired to move

things. Thus, they did not know the back of the villa was a changing room.

Gigi screamed and ran out of the changing room in a panic. She looked like a mess.

“What’s going on?”

Director Quince glanced at her and saw that she was a small-time actress that he did not know. Then, he frowned

and shouted, “Can you model for the photo session or not?”

“Someone deal with this quickly! Who’s in charge?” Zoe’s expression turned stern, and she immediately noticed

Jean at the back. “How can you let them move things in?”

“Are you expecting me to move those things myself? How can I move them alone?” Jean did not idle as the workers

moved things in. She was carrying a box of props.

Zoe had expected Jean to argue back. Thus, she snorted and said, “It is a task the company assigned you. If you

can’t do it, you should have informed us earlier. Now, look at the mess you’ve made and the delay you caused in

the photo session. You are the only one to blame.”

Jean retorted, “You only informed me to move these few thousand pounds of things by myself five minutes ago.”

Then, she glanced at Gigi, crying profusely at the side. Why am I so unlucky?

“Jean! You arranged this, didn’t you? You deliberately got men to look at me while I’m changing! How can you stoop

so low?” Gigi gritted her teeth and trembled all over.

Linda saw something. She quickly went to hug Gigi and comforted her loudly, “Gigi, don’t cry. That woman is an

ungrateful scoundrel. You and your husband were kind enough to let her work in MON & Co. Yet, she did not thank

you but plotted against you.”

Jean received a false accusation out of the blue before she could even say anything.

However, Gigi’s mind was not as quick as Linda’s.

She looked up in confusion only to see Linda glaring at her.

Then, Gigi glanced ahead and saw Edgar walking into the studio with Miles. She immediately ran to him and latched

onto his trench coat.

“What’s wrong?”

Edgar frowned and looked intimidating with his cold expression.

Everyone gasped fearfully.

Oh no, things are getting out of hand.

Everyone looked at Jean with pity. They did not fully understand what was going on and believed Jean was seeking

revenge against Gigi. Unfortunately, she chose the wrong time and was caught by her ex-husband.

Meanwhile, Zoe did not dare to make a sound. She waited quietly at the side to watch the scene unfold.

After all, no one cared what truly happened anymore.

On the other hand, Fred feared he would get in trouble because he had let Gigi into the photo session. Thus, he

rushed forward and smiled apologetically. “Mr. Royden, I’m sorry. It’s our management’s oversight that leads to this

misunderstanding. Please be assured that we will deal with this properly and make sure nothing gets leaked out.”

Gigi kept holding on to Edgar’s shirt and cried profusely.

She looked as if she had suffered the greatest injustice.

Soon, the workers were chased out of the villa.

Jean tasted bitterness in her mouth as she watched Edgar covering Gigi with his coat. At the same time, Jean met

Edgar’s gaze fearlessly.

They regarded Jean as the perpetrator, but Jean did not care.

No one could be sure whether it was Jean’s reaction that influenced Edgar’s thoughts.

Edgar raised his hand. Thus, everyone left the studio except for Jean and Edgar.

Before leaving, Gigi held Edgar’s hand and said pitifully, “Edgar, you must punish her for me. Otherwise, my

reputation will be ruined.”

“I didn’t expect you to stoop so low.” Edgar’s tone was cold and filled with disdain.

His words reverberated throughout the empty studio and pierced through Jean’s heart.

The pain caught her off guard. She did not expect her frozen heart to hurt as if someone had torn out a chunk of it.

“If you seek revenge against me or scheme against Royden Group, I don’t mind playing along with you. However,

Gigi is pregnant. You are not allowed to harm her.”

After saying that, he stared at her and sneered, “It seems Gary managed to raise his daughter to be more

despicable than him.”

Jean burst into fury after hearing him talk about her father. She charged at him without thinking and raised her

hand. It did not matter whether she could hit him. All she could think was to use all her might to slap him.

Unfortunately, their height difference was too great.

Furthermore, Edgar was an astute man. He instantly guessed what she wanted to do.

Thus, he immediately grabbed her wrist.

He looked at her with hatred and disdain before shoving her away. “Reckless fool.”

Jean staggered back a few steps and accidentally hit her elbow against the nail on the background board. The nail

pierced her skin, causing her to gasp in pain.

However, the pain could not compare to the hurt Edgar caused her heart.

She looked at him with eyes full of hatred.

“Did you even care when I had a miscarriage?”

Jean knew he would not show any reaction, so she sneered and continued, “Edgar, you better keep her close all the

time. Otherwise, I will make her suffer a miscarriage and experience my pain!”

“Don’t you dare!”

Edgar’s expression distorted with fury.

“You will see for yourself whether I dare!”

There was not a hint of a tear in Jean’s eyes. She stared at Edgar and felt her hatred overpowering any feelings she

had for him. Furthermore, she never felt as alert as she was now.

Then, she raised her other hand and said, “I have been recording since just now. Soon, the whole of Yorktown shall

find out other men had seen Gigi naked. Aren’t you powerful? You should get ready to spend a lot of money to stop

the news from trending. Otherwise, everyone shall know that your wife had exposed her naked body to other men.”

Jean gritted her teeth. She hated such a despicable mean and hated having to stoop so low.

She believed she could have easily won if she were to bankrupt Royden Group.

However, Gigi and Edgar forced Jean’s hands.

“What makes you think I will let you publish the recording?” Edgar took a step forward and reached out to snatch

the phone from her.

As his hand was about to touch Jean, she suddenly let out a smile and hooked her arm onto his neck.

“Edgar, you have been tricked.”
