Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 165

Chapter 165 A Broken Brooch

Jean Eyer drove another two rounds but still felt that it wasn’t smooth enough. There were a few areas where she could save time.

She got out of the car and took off her helmet, deciding to improve more on it.

But Ben Ludwig snatched the helmet out of her hands.

“Let’s practice tomorrow. The training ground is about to close.”

“So early?” Jean Eyer turned around and saw a few workers cleaning up. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Ben Ludwig didn’t say much but just pulled her away. If Ben Ludwig couldn’t give her the promise of stability as a racer, he would give this path up.

Not long after the two left the training ground, a black car followed them from behind.

“I looked for you at home twice, but you weren’t there. Where have you been staying recently?” Ben Ludwig hesitated for a while before asking.

Even though he already knew the answer.

“At my friend’s house.” Jean Eyer said with an air of finality. She pointed to the crossing ahead. “You can just drop me here, I need to get some things.”

Ben Ludwig nodded slowly and stopped the car as she requested.

“See you tomorrow. I’ll think of more ways when I get back.” Jean Eyer waved before turning around and heading into the shopping mall.

From afar, Ben Ludwig watched her leave.

He tilted his head and glanced again at the black car that had been following them from behind. His eyes were cold.

As soon as Jean Eyer walked into the shopping mall, she was encircled by some of Gigi Reece’s fans.

“You were the one who robbed Gigi Reece of the leading lady title!”

They surrounded Jean Eyer and stared at her in an unfriendly manner. “Edgar Royden doesn’t want you anymore. Can you stop pestering him?”

“Yeah, and our Gigi Reece is already pregnant. Edgar Royden and her are a match made in heaven. You better know your place and terminate the contract with Perles!”

“We don’t want to see you! If you appear in Perles’ advertisements, us Greeces will boycott the jewelry from this brand!”

Jean Eyer had been training the whole afternoon and was very tired.

She was surrounded and insulted by them as soon as she came in, so she was in an extremely foul mood.

“Are you done?”

She looked at them with an icy expression. “If you’re done, get lost.”

“How can you scold us!”

Jean Eyer snickered and looked at them with disdain. “Not too long ago, there was news that Gigi Reece was struck in a washroom. You all should know about it. I was the one who did it. Not only do I scold others, but I also hit them. Stay away from me. Otherwise, you can be a fangirl in the hospital.”

She was already being very rational.

Those few fans of Gigi Reece were frightened by her imposing manner.

But without fear of getting struck, they still said, “Anyway, you still have thick skin, and you’re a homewrecker. You…”

Before the fans could finish speaking, they were subdued by a few bodyguards.

A figure wearing a black dress walked over after that. Melody Chance took off her sunglasses and asked Jean Eyer with a smile, “I saw them bothering you, are you hurt?”

Melody Chance was indeed an elegant beauty. A delicately beautiful face with classic makeup, the more you looked at her, the more alluring she was.

Jean Eyer shook her head.

With a gesture from Melody Chance, those fans were pushed out by the bodyguards.

Jean Eyer turned her head and glanced at them. “Thank you for helping me out again. But won’t they spread rumors to attack you if you do this?”

“A lot of this happens in the entertainment industry. I’m already immune to it. Furthermore, I only lend a helping hand to those who are worth helping.” Melody Chance cracked a smile. “There’s a shop upstairs that’s owned by a friend of mine, let’s take a look. I need to trouble Ms. Eyer to help me with something.”

Melody Chance had helped her out a few times. Jean Eyer didn’t have any plans, so she nodded and agreed.

The friend that Melody Chance mentioned was none other than the jewelry broker that Monica Weller introduced to her.

After exchanging names, Jimmy blurted out while smiling, “What a coincidence! Someone else just recommended you to me.”

Jimmy was a short, biracial man who spoke fluent English. He met everyone with a smile.

“Ms. Weller already told you?” Jean Eyer was slightly surprised. She didn’t expect Monica Weller to move so fast.

Melody Chance smiled. “Yorktown is such a small world.”

Jimmy grinned. He didn’t admit or deny anything but looked thoughtfully at Jean Eyer briefly. He changed the topic. “I’ve been looking for the brooch that you mentioned, and I finally found it.”

Jimmy got his assistant to take a lovely polished box from upstairs.

Jean Eyer was looking at the windows of this do-it-yourself jewelry shop and unintentionally glanced over. She was immediately stunned.

She’d seen this box countless times!

She moved her feet and stared blankly at it. It once used to be on her mother’s dressing table. But after the Eyer family went bankrupt, this was collected by the court and auctioned off.

Jimmy opened the box. A broken brooch was in it.

It had a white emerald base and was adorned with a few white orchids, but the original pattern inlaid on the side of the white orchids was gone. It was like a body without a soul, still beautiful but not stunning.

“I’ve tried my best to restore it, but it’s not working,” Jimmy said regretfully. “The designers under me have spent a lot of time looking for the accessory that was originally at this position, but this should be the work of a master craftsman. It’s really not working.”

Melody Chance knew that he’d tried his best. She turned her head and looked at Jean Eyer. “Do you have any ideas?”

Jean Eyer tried hard to calm herself down. “This side could be a yellow Obsidian rock that has been cut and formed with pearls.”

Jimmy and Melody Chance looked at the brooch together for a bit.

Jimmy was instantly refreshed and said a string of words before starting to sketch right away.

Jean Eyer went up to him and gave him some suggestions.

After less than ten minutes, this brooch was restored.

“Pretty good, this is the most perfect solution by far. Let me search for materials immediately.” Jimmy headed down to the warehouse excitedly.

It was Melody Chance’s turn to crack a smile. “You’re amazing, thank you for your help. One of my friends really liked this brooch. I must restore it and give it to her.”

“Your friend?”

Jean Eyer looked at the brooch and said slowly after a while, “I hope she likes it.”

This brooch used to be her mother’s belongings.

But time had passed, and this no longer belonged to the Eyer family anymore.

Jimmy had some materials and quickly restored the brooch. He repeatedly praised Jean Eyer for having such design talent.

“If you have the time, you can come here and sketch. If it’s unique and outstanding enough, I’ll definitely find a way to get it into fashion shows.”

Just when Jean Eyer was short of money.

These words certainly lit up her world.

“Thank you, Mr. Jimmy.”

Melody Chance had a show to catch, so Jean Eyer also took the opportunity to leave. Not too long after she left, Jimmy called a number.

“I found a buyer for the brooch you gave me last time.”

A deep voice asked from the other end, “Who?”

“Edgar Royden’s ex-wife, Jean Eyer.”
