Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 179

Chapter 179 All Shall Die

Jean opened the door and saw a worried-looking Nathan. “What’s going on?”

Jean stepped aside to let him in. When Andy warned her not to make recordings, Jean pressed the call log on her phone. Since Nathan was the last person she had spoken with, it activated a call with him. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Nathan immediately recognized Andy’s voice and rushed over. However, he arrived to find Andy lying unconscious in a room. Thus he frowned and asked, “What have you done to him?”

“He accidentally drank the drink he prepared for me. I believe he planned to drug me and send me to the room next door.”

Jean explained indifferently as if it was something unrelated to her. Nathan’s frown deepened as he observed Jean’s reaction. What happened to Jean during her one-year imprisonment? How did she turn from an innocent young lady into the person she is today?

In that instant, Nathan suddenly understood why Edgar wanted to return Garrison Group to her. “What do you want me to do?”

Nathan looked at the unconscious Andy. Andy was a prominent man in Yorktown’s business world. Yet, he ended up in such a humiliating state. Furthermore, it was Edgar’s ex-wife who did this to him.

Andy was a proud man. He would likely be annoyed once he woke up. Jean smirked as if she was enjoying an amusing show. “I would prefer you do nothing.” “What do you mean?”

Jean extended her hand to him. “I am willing to exchange Andy for the rights to Garrison Group.” Edgar came to the hotel with Nathan and stood at the doorway. His eyes flashed with admiration as he listened to Jean.

Jean has a natural aptitude for business. She knows her strength and weaknesses. She knows she can’t fight Royden Group head-on and can only rely on little tricks to win. Although they were devious, they achieved miraculous results.

Edgar walked into the room with this thought in mind. “Sure, we can sign the agreement now.”

“Also, you are to revoke your previous conditions.” Jean did not seem surprised to see Edgar. “Sure.”

They stood and faced each other as equals. Nathan was stunned as he watched Jean sign the document before letting Andy go. She will most likely change Garrison Group’s name tomorrow and begin to build the company up again to compete with Royden Group.

Nathan took a deep breath and said, “I don’t understand why you two divorced in the first place!” They clearly understood each other so well…

On the other hand, Edgar sank deep in thought as he looked at the elegant signature on the transfer agreement. Half an hour later, Gigi, who was waiting for good news at home, was surprised to see Edgar.

“What are you doing here?” Sam frowned and said, “I thought I’ve sent people to inform you that I am reconsidering whether to let Gigi marry you.”

Since the time Jean visited, Sam had asked around about Eyer Group’s bankruptcy. Although his information was incomplete, nearly everyone said it was Edgar who caused it to go bankrupt. Furthermore, no one knew why Edgar acted against the Eyer family.

After all, Gary was not a dishonest businessman. Even if they were business rivals, it did not make sense to destroy him with such swiftness and cruelty.

Unless there was some deep hatred.

Sam considered for a long time and felt he must reconsider whether Gigi should marry Edgar. He feared he would end up like Gary if Edgar’s greed grew.

“Dad! Edgar must be missing me and our baby. That’s why he is here.” Gigi rushed down the stairs and ran coyly to Edgar. “Come, let’s talk in my room.”

“Hmph, why do I have such a disloyal daughter?” Sam scolded fiercely and went into the study.

Meanwhile, Edgar had an indifferent expression as he let Gigi lead him to her room.

At the same time, Winnie stood at the side and watched them walk up the stairs. She could not help but feel that something was off.

It was as she feared. Soon, a loud cry came from Gigi’s room upstairs.

“Edgar, you must not listen to their nonsense. I was there to negotiate a film role…”

“Will it make you happy if I promise to retire from acting?”

“Why must you compare me with Jean? I’ve done a lot for you too.” Gigi kept sobbing and shouting desperately.

However, Edgar’s eyes remained cold.

“I’ve told you that you can stay at home and give birth to the child. I will take responsibility for everything, but we can never marry.” Edgar pulled his hand away from Gigi’s grip and left the room without a backward glance.

Gigi watched Edgar walk away and sat dazed on the floor.

“You divorced her. Why do you still care so much about her? Do the baby and I mean nothing to you?”

Gigi looked as if she had gone mad as she shouted at Edgar.

Gigi had always known that Edgar did not have feelings for her, but she had faith that as long as she worked hard, Edgar would love her eventually.

However, it seemed Jean had ruined everything.

“Edgar, you will regret it if you leave me now!”

Edgar slowed down his footsteps for a moment, but he still left soon after.

Gigi cried even louder.

Winnie looked at Gigi and frowned. “Gigi, what happened? Edgar never used to be so heartless.”

“I’ll show him what a scum Jean is!”

Gigi took out her phone and called Director Lewis. He has probably done the deed by now.

However, Director Lewis began cursing Gigi the moment he answered the call.

“Gigi, you b*tch! Don’t even think I’ll let you act in my film! How dare you trick me? I’ll kick you out of the film industry!”

Gigi was stunned.

Although Director Lewis found her acting skills lacking, he was still polite to her due to Reece and Royden family’s influence. He would never curse her this way.

Did something go wrong?

Gigi gritted her teeth and apologized immediately. “Director Lewis, it must be a misunderstanding. Did Jean not go to the room?”

“How dare you bring this up? Don’t ever appear before me again!”

Gigi trembled with fury and headed to the hotel room straight away.

She and Andy frequented this hotel, so she easily found the room and opened the door. “What happened?”

Andy had just woken up on the queen-sized bed.

He rubbed his temple and felt an unbearable headache.

“Say something! Where is Jean? Why didn’t she go to Director Lewis’ room? Why…”

“Shut up.” Andy could not stand hearing Jean’s grating voice as soon as he woke up.

Gigi was in a bad mood from being scolded by Director Lewis. “How dare you scold me? You can’t even complete such a simple task. Do you know Director Lewis is going to blacklist me? I don’t care whether you have to trick or kidnap Jean. Bring her here right now!”

Andy shouted back at her, “I have been tricked by that b*tch too!”

Gigi, who wanted to continue scolding, instantly became stunned by Andy’s response.

“She has probably guessed our relationship, and yet, you are stupid enough to come here. If Edgar finds out about this, we are both doomed.”

Gigi immediately panicked. Her face turned pale.

“I… I will leave now!”

Andy looked at her dazzling appearance and gritted his teeth. “It’s too late.”
