Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 192 An Accident

Tyler could not refute Jean’s words. The guests who were standing nearby noticed the rowdiness, so they

approached Tyler and Jean to watch. “I see. So you made my sister cry with that sharp tongue of yours, eh?” Tyler

gritted his teeth angrily.

But he could not do anything to Jean as long as she was in the Knox family villa. Jean glanced at him indifferently

and read his thoughts. “You must be thinking that I cannot hide in the Knox family villa forever, and that you will

teach me a lesson as soon as I step out of this place. Am I right?”

Tyler froze. He did not speak. Jean blatantly ignored him and turned around. She spoke cockily. “Then I shall enjoy

myself before I leave.” “Young master, why don’t we leave?” Tyler’s subordinate, who was standing behind, advised

in a low voice.

Tyler was obviously not capable of fighting Jean, based on her words just now. Moreover, recently, rumors had

spread that Jean was not only close to the Ludwig family, she and Edgar were…

“Why should I be afraid of her? She is just someone nobody wants. What can she do to me? I shall teach her a

lesson today.” Tyler loosened his tie. “I will make her pay once and for all. If this woman goes down, they will reopen

the tender for the Royden Group project. It will be throwing a stone at two birds.”

He advanced into the banquet hall after Jean.

He began to look for Jean as soon as he entered the banquet hall. But Jean was either busy exchanging name cards

with the guests or wandering nearby Mrs. Knox.

She looked relaxed. She seemed to be enjoying the banquet.

Tyler was frustrated but there was nothing he could do.

He picked up a wine glass gloomily and finished it.

At this moment, Edgar and Nathan walked down the stairs with Mrs. Knox.

“Tyler Sans is really rude.” Nathan frowned in dissatisfaction.

Nathan was a kind person. He seldom had conflicts with others.

But the Sans siblings were too troublesome. He could not help but feel disgusted by them.

The man on his right was quiet. He had his gaze fixed on Jean, who was mingling around the guests and exchanging

name cards with them. There was a glint of a smile in his eyes.

She was indeed smart in taking opportunities.

The next second, Edgar saw the Ludwig family chatting with Mrs. Knox and his face darkened immediately.

Because Jean was with Ben Ludwig!

When Ally accused Jean of being the third person in their relationship earlier on, the Ludwig family had remained

silent.

Knowing what they were planning, he sneered.

Ben Ludwig apologized to Jean in a low voice, “Earlier on…”

Jean arranged the name cards she had gathered just now. Those name cards were important for Eyer Group’s

future endeavors. She hummed without even raising her head to look at Ben. “It’s alright.”

Ben looked guilty. “I’ll need to apologize to you properly when the banquet is over.”

He reached out to grab Jean’s arm, but she dodged it.

Ben panicked.

“You must be going over to wish Mrs. Knox happy birthday, I won’t go with you. Thank you for tonight; I gained a lot

of contacts.”

Jean smiled mysteriously as she spoke.

But this response made Ben’s heart ache. Was she angry?

“I can explain, Jean.”

“I understand. Your parents don’t want to ruin your family’s relationship with the Sans family. But it’s none of my

business.” Jean had long wanted to say this.

But she hadn’t because she did not want to hurt Ben.

Ben frowned. He did not move for a long time.

Myer Ludwig was already chatting with Mrs. Knox. Farra Emilio quickly came over and pulled them over. “What are

you waiting for? Go say hello and chat for a bit.”

Jean took half a step back instinctively. “Excuse me. I need to use the washroom.”

She turned around and walked past the guests hastily.

“Jean!”

Ben could not stop her. His frown tightened.

Farra knew what her son was thinking about. She quickly comforted him. “It’s alright. Jean is a sensible child. She

never gave up on you in your most difficult times. You can get her a gift to make it up to her later. Come on, let’s

go.”

When Ben heard his mother’s words, his face turned gloomier.

He knew for certain that Jean wasn’t someone like that.

“Come on, let’s go over first.” Farra pulled him over.

It was important for Ben to foster his relationship with the Knox family if he were to take over the company in the

future.

Ben lowered his head and shuffled his feet reluctantly.

Edgar Royden stood alongside the Knox family. Even Mrs. Knox, who was older than Edgar, showed respect to him.

Ben watched Edgar’s calm presence. The turmoil in his heart grew wilder.

At this moment, he finally realized the gap between him and Edgar.

At the same time, Edgar casted a cold glance at him.

“Mr. Royden…” Ben wanted to take the opportunity to say hello to Edgar.

Edgar was focused on a movement a distance away. His eyebrows twitched all of a sudden.

He put down his glass and hurried over.

Nathan realized that something was wrong and followed suit.

Tyler had drunk a few glasses of wine and was tipsy. He grabbed Jean’s arm with one hand and in the other a bottle

of wine.

The surrounding people steered clear of him in fear that they might get hurt by accident.

He tugged at Jean’s arm.

“What are you doing?”

Tyler sneered. “I’m drunk. I’ve lost consciousness.”

That way, he did not have to be responsible for anything. Even if he was accused of having a bad attitude after

drinking, would it matter?

It was just Jean Eyer…

He swayed his arm. The bottle of wine flew toward Jean’s head in a fast speed.

Jean had no time to dodge at such a short distance.

Crash!

The wine bottle shattered and trickled all over a man’s shirt.

“Now you have to compensate me for this shirt too, Jean.”

He frowned and stared at Jean, who was in his arms.

Jean widened her eyes. She stared at the blood trickling from his forehead.

“Edgar!”

She reached out to hold the man, who was falling unconscious and the both of them fell to the ground.

“I… It was an accident!” Tyler was dumbfounded. He tried to explain himself.

He was just trying to teach Jean a lesson. He wouldn’t dare touch Edgar at all.

He was a little tipsy just now and didn’t realize when Edgar rushed toward Jean to stand in front of her.

Nathan’s face froze. He yelled, “Send Mr. Royden to the hospital immediately!”

Then he glared at Tyler. “You should go home.”

Tyler swallowed hard. He thought that he wouldn’t be blamed for the incident. He quickly thanked Nathan. “Thank

you, Mr. Knox for being fair. It was really an accident. Mr. Royden will be fine.”

“Mr. Sans. I think you have misunderstood me.”

Nathan’s face turned cold. His usual politeness was nowhere to be seen. It had been replaced with a pair of cold

eyes.

He spoke slowly and clearly. “You better pray hard that Mr. Royden’s treatment will be longer. Because the day he

gets discharged, will be your last day alive.”
