Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 494

She was more agitated the more she spoke.She hated the fact that she couldn’t immediately let everyone know

about Jean’s indiscretions.

Jean had gotten pregnant out of wedlock.

Sherry wanted to see if the men who stuck their heads out for Jean would still like her so much.

“If you kneel and beg me, perhaps I will consider sparing you once.Just like how Gigi knelt in front of me back then

and begged me to give her a way out.”

Sherry was very proud of herself.

“It’s a shame that she was so unlucky and was injected with…

‘Smack’ Jean rushed over and slapped Sherry.

Without waiting for Sherry to come to her senses from her shock, it was like Jean had gone mad.She lifted the hem

of Sherry’s exquisitely designed skirt and pulled with force.

The hem of the handmade skirt fell in response.

“Ah!”

Sherry’s piercing cries surrounded the main lobby.She had never imagined, not even in her dreams that Jean would

hit her in public.Her cries attracted the attention of all the guests.

Ben rushed from the back along with the Summer family.

“What’s going on? Jean, what did you do to my daughter?”

Mrs.Summer was the first to see the situation.She immediately supported Sherry and used a shawl to cover her

face.She cried out in an alarmed voice, “The Summer family invited you with good intentions.We wanted to clear up

our misunderstandings and bury the hatchet.Sherry even made a supreme effort to recommend your company so

that Pinnacle Group would invest in you, but…you’re biting the hand that feeds you!”

Mrs.Summer said plainly as it she had been present.

Without waiting for the two involved persons to say anything, it was determined that Jean was at fault.

The current scene also seemed like Jean was to blame.

Only Sherry was hit and made to look like a fool.

In contrast, Jean was unscathed.

“Get rid of this woman at once! The Summer family will never work with someone like this.”

Bernard cried out sharply at the side.

As soon as he said it, bodyguards went forward.

“I want to see who has the nerve to lay a hand on her”

Ben shielded her at once.

A tall figure stood far away.His cold eyes were fixed on Jean from the beginning until the end.

“Mom, I’m so humiliated.”

Sherry’s crying grew louder.

In the crowd, someone said, “No matter what, you can’t hit others.”

In an instant, everyone sympathized with Sherry.

Only Ben stood by Jean.Her thin figure seemed so lonely.

Bernard’s face was cold.

“Mr.Ludwig, this is a matter between the Summer family and Jean.You shouldn’t get involved.”

He left the last part unsaid.So as not to affect the future of the Ludwig family.

With Pinnacle Group’s power, they could, indeed, suppress the Ludwig family.

They could even create obstacles for the Ludwig family, both openly and privately.

If it was someone else, they would have drawn a line between themselves and Jean, but Ben was stubborn.

“You want to chase her away before the matter is cleared up.Mr.Summer, are you afraid that the truth isn’t

beneficial to Ms.Summer?”

“What nonsense are you spouting? My daughter has been bullied in such a state.This is enough proof.This maniac

came to the Summer family’s dinner banquet to beat my daughter up.Don’t tell me that we’re at fault?”

Mrs.Summer was brought up in a good family, and she spoke eloquently.She wanted to pour the dirty water on

Jean.

Ben was about to speak when Jean stopped him.

Mrs.Summer raised her brows slightly.

The matter was within her grasp.

All she had to do was chase Jean away, and then she wouldn’t have to think about easing the relationship between

them in the future.Everyone would also know the scope of their patience.

But the matter couldn’t go according to Mrs.Summer’s way just yet.

Jean walked to the Summer family, and her voice was light.

There was animosity in her eyes.

“I will not apologize.If you want to seek justice for Sherry, you can make a police report”

Mrs.Summer was dumbstruck.She froze and immediately looked at Bernard with a pleading expression.

“That is a matter for the Summer family.It’s not up to you…

“Without proper investigation, how can Ms.Summer be proven innocent? I initially planned to dismiss the lawsuit

that I brought against her, but I’m going back on my word.No matter how much the Summer family tries to hide

the truth, I will go ahead with the lawsuit.If I can’t win within a year, I will wait for two years”

“After all, I have the time.”

At that time, Jean’s cold face was deeply etched into the minds of every guest.She had nothing, but she had the

nerve to challenge the Summer family! When they saw the Summer family’s sudden change in expressions, all the

guests knew something was up.

Sherry must have done something to provoke Jean, which made Jean burn bridges and strike Sherry in public.Some

people had heard about the details of Jean suing Sherry.

The crowd whispered fervently.

Bernard cried out angrily, “Get rid of her at once!”

Ben immediately shielded Jean.

“There’s no need to do so.We will leave on our own.This was a dinner banquet with the motive of harming the

guest.

Do you think we wanted to come?”

He was about to take her away when police sirens were heard outside.

Officer Bunnings led his people in and immediately took control of the scene.

Officer Bunnings immediately frowned when he saw the situation before him.

That wasn’t what Edgar had said on the phone! He said that someone was creating a disturbance with guns, and

the situation was chaotic.

This made Officer Bunnings rush over with all the nearby police officers.He had even called in the secret service.

But…

What was the situation that greeted him? It was just a brawl between two women.

Officer Bunnings suppressed his anger forcefully and walked to Jean.

“What happened?”

The other person involved was in Mrs.Summer’s arms with her face covered.He couldn’t go to her.

Jean understood when she saw him.

“I hit someone” Jean said calmly.

Her gaze swept past the Summer family, who were behind her.

“Take us away.Officer Bunnings had a headache.A police officer rushed in from the outside and said something to

Officer Bunnings.

“Take them away!”

“What? No…”

Mrs.Summer couldn’t stop them at all.

Summer was picked up by two police officers and taken away.

Jean told Ben not to worry before she left.

Five police cars drove out of the entrance, and guests started to leave as well.

Mr.and Mrs.Summer stood in the empty main lobby.They were livid.

“Bernard, what should we do?”

Everything had been within their control.

How were the police alerted? “I’ll think of a way right now.”

Bernard said viciously, “She must pay the price’ Two dignified men in suits sat in the last luxury car that left.

Charles covered his forehead in frustration.

“Mr.Royden, you can’t use me as cover even if you wanted to save her, can you? Our family is law-abiding in this

country, but you reported me to the police?”

“I just revealed some information to them.It’s because of the Rothschild family’s status and reputation.I just wanted

to alarm them”

Charles was rendered speechless.He threw his hands up.

“Jean had the upper hand in that situation.Even if you didn’t call the police, the matter could have been settled

perfectly.And you could have stepped in as well”

Pinnacle Group would have backed down, for Edgar’s sake.

Edgar sat at the side, and his gaze swept past the street view.He said in a deep voice, “She doesn’t want me to

interfere in her matters”
