Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 321 Chapter 321 A Marriage Only in NAfter asking the question, Winnie secretly pressed record. For the sake of self-preservation, she needed to make sure that every step she took was safe.

Jean's response sounded clear from the phone. "It's a little something to make him feel refreshed." Jean hung up immediately after that. Winnie gripped the phone and snorted indignantly. "You little liar! How dare you play tricks with me?" Both parties knew this seemingly peaceful collaboration would be short-lived. After all, each was using the other to her advantage. Thus, the partnership could collapse at any moment. At this moment, Jean was sitting on the couch watching the latest news.

The screen showed Edgar and Gigi walking together. He had deliberately gone to the police station to pick up Gigi and announced to the public that there would be a massive banquet at Grand Royale in three days.

Jean bit the corner of her lip but did not show any other reaction. "Mr. Royden, will there be another wedding?" "Mr. Royden, I heard you will send your child overseas for treatment. Is that true?" Jean looked up slightly and frowned. Gigi can't have been that stupid, right? Gigi's face appeared on the screen. She deliberately let out a few tears and said sadly, "My baby has been unwell since birth and has a rare blood disease. Thus, we need to send the baby overseas for treatment. I don't want to part with my child, but..." She did not finish her sentence but flung herself into Edgar's embrace and sobbed.

The atmosphere turned somber. The reporters thought she was sad about her baby.

"This is insane." Jean turned off the TV straight away.

What Gigi did would trigger Andy.

The matter concerning the theft of sconfidential documents had just died down. But Gigi had already announced she would send her child away. It showed she felt her child was in the way of her being with Edgar. Thus, as the child's father, there was no way Andy would bear such indignity.

Jean recalled what Sam and Andy said during the press conference. She could not help but feel Gigi was digging her own grave.

But what could Jean do? She had exhausted all her effort to bring things to this point. Furthermore, Edgar was on the verge of discovering her plan.

Thankfully, she managed to escape in the nick of time. Otherwise, the secrets from the past would have long been exposed. Jean rubbed her long hair and sighed suddenly.

"Dad, how am I supposed to help her?" Meanwhile, in Royden's family Villa, Gigi kept feeling uneasy after saying those words to the reporters. She observed Edgar's expression.

When they got in, Edgar did not seem displeased.

It made her even more nervous. She could not resist going to him and saying coquettishly, "Edgar, you're not angry with me, right? The reporters asked sdifficult questions just now. I didn't have tto think and told them everything." Edgar slowly put down his coat and turned around. His reaction was even more shocking to her.

"It's all right. You were telling the truth." Gigi was delighted to hear his calm tone. "You're not angry with me?" "Why would I be angry with you?" Edgar replied evenly.

"I thought you would be angry withfor acting on my own and telling everyone about our plan. It might even cause trouble." In actuality, Gigi regretted saying too much just now, but she wanted so much to announce that to the world.

After waiting for so many years, she was finally Mrs. Royden. She wanted everyone to know this good news. Furthermore, she wanted everyone who had looked down on her to see how successful she was now.

Although Edgar still would not touch her, she had at least married into the family. Thus, she would not be chased out now.

"Edgar, I'm sorry. I'll be careful with what I say from now on." In the past, Edgar might have reprimanded her a little.

But now, he gently pulled her wrist away and said, "It's all right. You are free to do what you wish. I still have work. You should get an early rest." After saying that, he headed to the second floor.

Gigi stood still. Her smile deepened. Although she had no proof, she was certain Edgar was not angry with her for what she did today. Instead, he even started to dote on her.

Thus, Gigi was in a good mood and called for Susan. "Prepare supper for me. Also, open a bottle of red wine." Then, she walked upstairs happily and got ready to relax.

Susan stood by the kitchen door and shook her head.

The kitchen had an open design. Moreover, Edgar and Gigi had spoken rather loudly just now. Thus, Susan was able to hear everything. She knew the way Edgar treated Gigi was not affectionate but that he did not care.

He did not even care what she said to outsiders. It was equivalent to ignoring her existence.

However, Gigi did not notice anything.

She had a feeling that something terrible would soon happen to this family.

Three days later, Ben went to Jean's place and found her wrapped in a blanket and seated on the couch in a daze.

Ben touched her forehead and said urgently, "Your forehead is too warm! We need to go to the hospital." Jean shook her head and retreated backward. “I've taken smedicine and will sleep earlier tonight. I should be fine tomorrow." She forced a smile as she said, "Don't worry. My body is tough." "Take a look at yourself. You should see how pale your face is now!" Ben pointed his phone's front camera at her face.

Jean blinked and was shocked by her appearance.

She stretched out her cold fingers and touched her face. "It's probably the brightening effects from the beauty masks I applied recently." "You can't even convince yourself with such a lie." Ben pulled her up from the couch. "We're going to the hospital." Her resistance was futile, and he pulled her into the car.

There was a traffic jam at the overpass on the way to the hospital. Jean tilted her head and felt a little drowsy.

"It must be the effect of the cold medicine you took. You should take a O nap.” Ben sighed and held the steering wheel. He was trying to figure out how to reach the hospital faster. Jean leaned into the seat and listened to his nagging.

"You are terrible at taking care of om yourself. How could you dismiss Brigid? What are you planning to do now? Will you abandon everything and let Gigi put you in prison with her schemes?"

"But Gigi doesn't care about this now. She is busy showing off that she has married into great wealth. Edgar has likely gone mad and let her do whatever she wants. They are probably welcoming guests at their banquet right now." His words sounded like buzzing noises to her ears.

Sleep assailed her. A single tear slid down her face as she closed her eyes.

"I should go congratulate them." Even as she fell asleep, she had a bitter smile.

Ben stopped the car at the traffic light. It hurt him to watch her torturing herself this way.

"You worked hard to care for Gigi only to make yourself feel better. What's the point? If Mr. Eyer could see you from heaven, he wouldn't want you to live like this." "Furthermore, you know Edgar still cares about you."Contents belong to Dr X
