Edgar and His Destined Wife

Edgar And His Destined Wife Chapter 432

Supporting himself with a stick, Edbert grinned widely.

“I reckon Mr.Gibson had met up with her before he passed away.She knew it but didn’t inform you”

He stared at the lost Edgar with a cunning look and continued, “After all, she’s not a Royden.She wouldn’t genuinely

side with you.”

“Shut up!”

Edgar had lost his rationality as he turned and roared at Edbert.

“I shall take my leave first and leave the rest to both of you.But remember, you’re responsible for the Royden

family.You don’t have to reject Pinnacle Group’s marriage proposal for the sake of a woman who deceived you.It

brings no advantage for you.”

With that, Edbert left.

Susan was utterly disgusted by him.If he didn’t sow discords between Edgar and Jean, the atmosphere in the living

room wouldn’t be this intense.

Jean remained silent with her head lowered.

Edgar stood up and sat down again while moving his hand restlessly.

Susan walked over and said, “Mr.Royden, dinner is ready.Why don’t you guys talk about it over dinner?”

Truth be told, Susan knew it wasn’t an appropriate suggestion, but she worried they were making each other suffer.

Hence, she added softly, “Ms.Eyer was provoked just now and can’t afford to get angry anymore.”

She attempted to remind Edgar.

The latter’s face gradually turned cold as he clenched his fists.

Suddenly, he reached out his hand to pull Jean up and ordered Susan, “You may excuse yourself.”

“But..”

Susan wanted to stay to take care of Jean, but Edgar dragged Jean upstairs before she could say anything.

Resigned, Susan could only walk away to pack her belongings and leave, leaving the couple in the house.

Jean subconsciously took a few steps back when Edgar closed the door.She had no intention of explaining herself

because there was nothing to explain.

From the beginning to the end, she had no plans to make it clear to Edgar.

“How can you keep it until now?”

Edgar spun to stare at Jean.His tone was so frosty that Jean was stunned, but she forced herself not to look at his

eyes.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.Do you believe Edbert’s words?”

“Why did you run out then?”

The tension in Edgar’s voice decreased, and so did the hostility in his eyes.He stepped toward Jean and lifted his

hand to grab her in a loss.

“Please tell me all that he said is not true.I’ll believe you as long as you Say it.”

His voice was shaking as he tightened his grip on her.

“Tell me the truth.”

“I have nothing to say.”

Jean lifted her eyes to gaze at Edgar.

“Susan said that I shouldn’t be further provoked.Can you leave? This is my place.”

After staring at her coldly, Edgar blurted, “Sure.Of course…He released Jean and took a few steps back.

“I’ll investigate the matter thoroughly.I’ll return what I owe you if what he said is true.”

With that, he turned and left.

The sound of his footsteps soon disappeared.

Pressing her lips, Jean ran to the window and saw Edgar getting into his car while talking to someone over his

phone.

Her heart ached so much that she was clueless about how to stop the current situation.

Edbert brutally tore their deepest wound, yet she could do nothing.

Her heart broke at the sight of Edgar’s piercing gaze just now…

She took out her phone and called Ben.

“Hey Ben, can you…do me one more favor?”

In Reece Residence, Sam came home furiously after a business meeting.

Just then, the sound of footsteps emerged from the outside.He looked toward the source of the sound and was

surprised to see Winnie.

“What brings you here? How dare you come back after taking so much money from me?!”

Smiling awkwardly, Winnie strode up to Sam and knelt in front of him.

“After all, we are husband and wife.You can’t watch me starve to death, can you? Can you please lend me some

money? I just need fifty thousand”

“Get lost! I’ll not give you a single penny!”

When the Reece family ran into trouble, Winnie was the first to abandon him and leave.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been constantly manipulated by Edbert, the old fox.

“Please don’t ask me to leave, Sam.Y-You need someone to take care of you.There’s nothing much I can do, but I

can be a servant at your disposal.”

“Look in the mirror.You don’t even deserve to wash my feet.”

Sam sneered and kicked Winnie away.

“Did you think I married you back then because of your appearance? My foot! If it wasn’t because you had a fling

with Gary, I wouldn’t…”

‘Bang: Before Sam could finish his sentence, the door was kicked open.He was dumbfounded when he saw Edgar

barge into the house with a group of men.He stepped back instinctively.

“What do you want?! I can report you to the police for breaking into my house!”

“Go ahead!”

Edgar narrowed his eyes.

He was still a little hesitant while on the way here, but his doubt faded when he saw Sam’s terrified look.

At least one thing Edbert said was true.

Staring at Edgar in astonishment, Sam mustered his courage and yelled, “Don’t think I don’t dare to!”

“Of course, you dare to.You set my father up back then and pushed the blame onto Gary.You’re such a jerk.What

else wouldn’t you do?”

Edgar spat coldly.

Rage had completely drowned out his rationality.

“Who told you that? It has been more than ten years since the incident, and you’re trying to accuse me now?”

Sam sent the helmet after the hatchet and bellowed, “I’m calling the police!”

Edgar stared at him and examined every subtle expression of his.

In no time, police officers arrived at Reece Residence.

It so happened that the sergeant in charge of this case was Joseph Bunnings.

He could feel Edgar’s cold aura the moment he stepped into the house.

On the other hand, Sam strived to maintain a calm appearance, but he avoided eye contact with the officers as he

was guilty.

“What’s going on? Who called the police?”

Having observed the scene from the side, Winnie pointed at Edgar and squealed, “He broke into our house.

Quickly get him!”

The truth was, she came back to run away from her creditors.

She naturally had to side with Sam if she wanted to return to Reece Residence.She didn’t understand the

conversation just now, but she merely did what she thought would help her survive.

Officer Joshua frowned at the accusation.

“Mr.Royden, is that true?”

Sam’s expression instantly turned sulky as he complained, “I’m the one who called the police.

Why are you treating him with respect? Do you still care about ordinary citizens? Or, are you officers bootlickers

too?”

“Yeah.Both of us are witnesses.Why are you asking him?”

Winnie chimed in and went to stand beside Sam.

Both were accusing Edgar, so Joseph turned to face them and said, “Tell me what happened then”

Sam panicked for a second when he met the officer’s eyes, but he was soon reminded that a decade had passed

since the incident.

Besides, he had been extremely careful and didn’t leave any evidence behind.

So, there was nothing Edgar could do to him.

At that thought, he uttered sternly, “He barged into my house, very likely with the intention to harm me, so I called

the police.”
