Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 175 Chapter 175 Ruthlessness The next morning, the incident of Jean breaking the record was reported in the news. Reporters tried to find out Jean's address to obtain first-hand information from her.

However, when they crowded up at Jean's apartment, they were told that Jean was not staying there.

"She can't possibly vanish into thin air." "I heard that she was previously working at MON & Co. Could she be staying near that area?" The speculation was soon dismissed by another person.

"That's impossible. She can't afford to stay in that neighborhood." As far as they knew, Jean was deeply in debt and was fortunate enough to stay alive.

"Since she's not here, let's wait at the police station. Gigi Recee is still under detainment." Meanwhile, Jean wore a hat and was hiding at the other side of the corridor. It was only after the reporters left did she scurry into her apartment.

Although the apartment was narrow with poor lighting, to Jean, this was a much more peaceful place than Edgar's villa.

She threw herself in bed and slept the entire day.

When she woke up, there were countless missed calls on her phone. She ignored all of them and went downstairs to eat.

The moment she opened the door, Ben cinto sight.

"I've handled the reporters out there. It's unsafe here. You should change a place to stay." Ben passed a key to Jean. As an efficient man, he had already helped Jean rent a place in a neighborhood with stricter security control.

"I don't..." "Gigi would surely cafter you after she is released. If you feel bad, you can payrent every month." Ben didn't give Jean a chance to reject the offer and directly stuffed the key into her hand.

Jean pouted and followed behind Ben. "It seems like the Recee family has spent a huge sum of money to fix the incident." "Zach took the rap for Gigi." Ben opened the door with a disappointed look. He didn't expect Zach to be a disloyal punk! "Aren't there any clues in the bank account?" Jean thought something was off.

"The bank refused to cooperate with us." Ben thought someone must be playing mischief in the dark. Not only that, the person was one step ahead of them. Ben stepped on the accelerator indignantly and headed toward the highway.

Buildings flashed past the car window as Jean muttered, “Gigi is not a shrewd woman. She would surely get back at me. We just have to wait for her to come." "No way. Who knows what that mad woman would do!" Ben dismissed Jean's suggestion instantly.

Jean snorted. "I'm looking forward to it." Sure enough, the Recee family could pull sstrings and get Gigi out of the police station. They could even do all that they could to delay the court trial. No matter what, Jean was determined to take them down because Gigi was not the only one in the Recee family she was going after; Winnie was a troublesopponent too.

Ben brought Jean to the newly-rented apartment. He was worried that Jean would turn down his offer, so he rented an apartment in a middle-class neighborhood. It was a medium-sized apartment with two bedrooms and one living room.

Looking at the bright space with minimalist design, Jean felt the gloominess that had been enveloping her was hugely alleviated.

"How much is the rent?" "We can talk about that later." Ben answered ambiguously. "Many things were postponed while I was hospitalized back then. There's one thing that I've been wanting to tell you in private." "What is it?" Jean asked casually while touching the texture of the tea table.

"I'm thinking of retiring." Ben fixed his gaze on Jean's face as he anticipated her reaction. He was hoping to share with her the reason behind his decision.

However, out of his expectation, Jean was merely startled for a moment and nodded. “I support your decision." "Are you upset?” Ben asked with a serious expression.

Jean lifted her head. "Not at all. I know you must have thought about it thoroughly before making this decision. As a friend, of course, I'll support you." There was nothing wrong with Jean's reply, but Ben was tongue-tied and stood at the spot like a soulless toy. "I'll pay you the rent on tevery month. I'll move out once I get bored of here." Then, Jean went to check out the bedrooms.

Ben heaved a sigh. She would throw a tantrum in front of Edgar, but she's always so calm with me.

At that moment, Ben was actually jealous of Edgar.

Thanks to Ben, Jean didn't have to handle the reporters anymore, but she soon received Farra's call. Contents belong to Farra insisted on inviting Jean over to the Ludwigs for dinner and was excited to introduce a few friends to her. Jean rejected the offer with the excuse that she wasn't feeling well.

Farra then asked Ben for Jean's address and sent her two experienced chefs to handle her meals. They would cevery day to prepare meals for Jean and leave immediately without interrupting her routine.

However, Jean thought the food they prepared tasted rather bland.

Whenever she ate, she was reminded of Susan and her exhortation. "Miss Eyer, please have smore pumpkin soup. There are more desserts here." Jean was worried about Susan, so she changed and went to the hospital.

As soon as she entered the hospital, she could hear people discussing among themselves.

"Have you heard that Gigi Recee, the actress who was sued a few days ago for intentional murder, had a miscarriage?" "Really? Remindwho's her husband." "He's the president of Royden Group. He's a very handsguy and has been looking after Gigi Recee at her ward in Zone C every day." Jean pressed her hat lower and entered the lift.

After enquiring the staff, she was informed that Susan's ward was located opposite Zone C.

She detoured around the corridor to prevent bumping into Edgar. Then, she quickly scurried into Susan's ward

The ward was filled with the odor of disinfectant. Susan was reading on the bed. When she heard the ruckus, he heard the she lifted her head and was surprised yet overjoyed to see Jean. "Miss Eyer! I heard the footsteps and was guessing if it could be you. I guessed it right!" Jean looked at the medical devices beside Susan's bed and frowned. "Do you still need them?" Susan put the book aside and answered, "Not really, but Mr. Royden insisted on using them because he's worried that I won't listen to the nurses. I haven't been able to sleep well because of the noises from these machines." "You should listen to the medical staff. Keep using them if they think it is necessary." Jean sat down by the bed. Susan stared fixedly for quite stbefore holding her hand and said, "I saw the news. Car racing is a dangerous activity, isn't it?" Thereafter, she remained silent but comforted Jean with her actions.

Jean felt a lump rising in her throat when she met Susan's concerned gaze. "It's not that dangerous. Don't worry about me."

"Nonsense. They even tampered with the racing car. How can it not be Mb dangerous? You have no idea how anxious Mr. Royden was after he becaware of the news. He even ignored Mr. Recee when Mr. Recee cto kneel down before him, and he insisted for the Recee family to be held responsible for the incident." Edgar actually did so? "I'm not lying. Miles and the others witnessed it too. You can ask him." Jean was amused by Susan's honest look.

"I'll ask him when I meet him then."

Despite saying that, Jean wasn't bothered by Susan's comment. She couldn't care less about Edgar'sm attitude toward the Recee family. She didn't believe that Edgar would ignore Gigi because of her because, after all, Gigi was pregnant with his child. So, he wouldn't possibly leave her to stew in her own juice. X
