Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Jean, Apologize to Her!

The question interrupted Edgar’s thoughts. He pressed his throbbing temples and croaked coldly, “Tomorrow.” Thereafter, Edgar glanced around the hall and fixed his gaze on someone. He went downstairs, walked past the crowd, and headed toward his target.

On the other hand, Ben was dragging Jean toward the outside. “How was my performance just now? I think there’s still room for improvement.” Jean asked while lifting her dress.

Ben darted a distressed glance at her. “I’m sure you’re going to be the trending topic of this fashion show tomorrow.” Truth be told, he knew Jean had already controlled herself, but Gigi was mentally too fragile. Jean blurted smugly, “That’s for sure. I…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Edgar interrupted her. “Let’s talk.”

Jean was taken aback by Edgar’s sudden appearance. She hummed in response and was about to walk to Edgar when Ben frowned and pulled her back to his side. “There’s nothing to talk about between you guys.”

Jean looked at Ben and patted his shoulder. “It’s okay.”

However, Ben did not let her go. Edgar snorted. “Mr. Ludwig, it seems like you don’t deem yourself an outsider. You’re no one to meddle with the affairs between Jean and I.”

With that, he strode out the hall. Jean whispered, “He still owes me a promise. I’m going to chase him for that.”

After saying that, she went after Edgar. Standing at the spot, Ben subconsciously clenched his fists. Edgar is right. I’m just her admirer. I can’t force her to eliminate part of her life, Edgar.

The sea breeze was blowing strong. Dressed in an off-shoulder gown, Jean shuddered in the cold.

Edgar glanced at her and continued walking toward his car. When Jean saw him get into his car, she followed suit without hesitating.

As much as she was reluctant to be in the same space as Edgar, she didn’t want to catch a cold in the wind.

Later, the driver turned the heater on upon receiving a signal from Edgar and got out of the car.

Jean huffed softly as she felt much more comfortable.

“When are you going to hold the wedding?” She asked directly.

Edgar cracked his knuckles and gazed at Jean. “Soon.”

“How soon is that?” Jean continued asking.

“In a week.” Edgar was losing his patience.

I’ve never seen a woman who urges her ex-husband to marry another woman!

Jean hummed, “Okay. I’m looking forward to it.”

She answered in such a relaxing manner as if she was anticipating a good show.

Suddenly, Edgar grasped her wrist and warned solemnly, “You better not think of making mischief again.”

Jean’s wrist hurt, but she feigned a calm look. “Oh well, you can go back on your word if you’re worried. There’s nothing I can do about you.”

She shoved Edgar’s hand away and continued. “I’m doing pretty well now. If there’s nothing important, please stay away from me lest your fiancée comes and throws a tantrum again.”

She opened the car door and uttered as the sea breeze gushed into the car, “I’ll not be this kind anymore if that happens again.”

With a frigid look, Edgar stared fixedly at Jean as she walked away.

He witnessed the scene when Gigi picked up a fight with Edgar.

As soon as Gigi started humiliating Jean, the latter retorted to her so ruthlessly that she was befuddled.

“When you first approached Edgar, we were not divorced yet. I can’t believe you’re accusing me in return now.”

“There’s a feud between Royden Group and I, so there’s no way I’ll reconcile with Edgar again. Keep those filthy, ridiculous imaginations to yourself. I’m not as stupid and shameless as you.”

Edgar placed his forehead against his fingers. He had never realized this side of Jean before.

He pressed his lips. Jean Eyer, haven’t you been hypocritical in the past, too, in order to marry me?He turned his head to the side and saw Jean and Ben walking down the stairs. Not only that, Jean had Ben’s jacket over her shoulders.

“Let’s go.”

Edgar’s eyes darkened. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

This was their first and last collaboration.

After arriving at the hotel, Jean changed into casual clothes and removed her makeup.

Moments later, Sally knocked on her door.

“Hey, I’m glad you came. Thanks for today. You may take these accessories back.” Jean yawned while she spoke as she was getting exhausted.

Sally looked at her worriedly. “Don’t mention it. You scolded Gigi in public today. Aren’t you worried?”

“What should I be worried about?” Jean leaned against the couch and wore a confused look.

“Uhmm… She’s Edgar Royden’s fiancée and the daughter of the Recee family. Although the Recee family is not one of the most powerful families in Yorktown, they’re wealthy.” Sally mumbled. Sure enough, she had consumed numerous gossip magazines.

“Ha! I never knew there are so many wealthy families in society now.” Jean shook her head contemptuously. “Remember this. There are only three families in Yorktown that can be deemed influential. All others are nothing compared to them.”

Even the Eyer family and the Royden family can’t hold a candle to the three greatest families, let alone the Recee family!

Jean almost laughed out loud.

Seeing Jean’s confident look, Sally was relieved. “As long as you’re aware of the situation. Jean, I’m really impressed at your boldness.”

Jean thought about it and blurted, “Hey, are you teasing me?”

“Not at all. I wouldn’t dare to.”

Sally quickly shook her head. The last thing she wanted to do was to offend Jean. “But I guess Anna would’ve been aware of the episode by now. She might come and find you anytime soon.”

Jean rested her head on her palm. Before she could say something, someone knocked on the door.

She lifted her chin while Sally immediately got up to answer the door.

Anna was leading the group, which comprised Gigi, her agent, Linda, and a few staff from MON & Co.

Jean was displeased as her sleepiness was dismissed at once when she saw the group of intruders crowd up in her room.Looking sullen, Anna ordered, “Quickly apologize to Miss

Recee.”

Jean lifted her eyes nonchalantly. “That’s impossible.”

Anna immediately wore a fierce look and threatened, “I’m telling you this as the person-in-charge of the interns. If you refuse to apologize today, you shall leave MON & Co. immediately once we return to Yorktown.”

“Why?” Jean pointed at Gigi and continued, “Just because of the personal grudges between me and her? I didn’t expect Gigi to be so capable that she can even influence the staff arrangement of MON & Co. Or, you guys ganged up on me?”

Anna rebuked, “Watch your words!”

She was trying to give Jean an out because Jean would often need to engage with different celebrities and artists if she continued working in MON & Co. So, it was not beneficial to make adversaries in the industry.

Besides, as a person in charge, she didn’t want her subordinates to be at loggerheads with Gigi.

“Jean, Anna is just asking you to give an apology. Is that too much to ask for?” Someone voiced out from behind.

“Exactly, you’re an intern in MON & Co. now. Your actions and words represent the company’s image. So what if you win an argument? If you’re so capable, go ahead and snatch your ex-husband back!”
