Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 25

Chapter 25 How Do You Even Mistaken the Person You’re Supposed To Protect?

Ben Ludwig looked at Jean Eyer, “Should we go in?”

He was afraid that Jean Eyer couldn’t take it. “Let’s go, the show isn’t over.” Jean Eyer walked towards the hotel doors. Ben Ludwig followed closely. With the invitations in their hands, no one stopped them.

Gigi Reece was getting ready in the dressing room with bridesmaids around her. They were smiling and flattering her. This made Gigi Reece very happy with herself. After today, Westburgh would be at her whims and fancies.

Sam Reece walked over to her with an uncomfortable expression on his face. He asked, “Are you ready?”

“Yes, I am.” Gigi Reece smiled coyly. She was too happy to notice Sam Reece’s unusual behavior. She smiled sweetly and held his hand as they walked out.

The doors of the hall opened out onto the red carpet.

Wearing a white veil and an haute couture wedding dress, Gigi Reece appeared dazzlingly on one end of the red carpet. On the other end stood Edgar Royden in a suit and tie.

Gigi Reece’s heart felt warm as she looked at the man across her through her veil. That man was finally going to belong to her. With all eyes on her, the wedding march began. Gigi Reece held Sam Reece’s hand as they walked towards Edgar Royden.

“The bride’s father may pass the bride over to the groom.” With that, Gigi Reece’s hands were placed in Edgar Royden’s. Both their hands were in white gloves, but Gigi Reece could not feel the warmth of his hands. She lowered her eyes to hide her bashfulness.

“Before the ceremony officially begins, I would like to share with everyone the token of the couple’s love. It is a testament to their lasting love.”

With a tray in her hands, the attendant displayed both halves of the pendant to all the guests present. Offstage, Jean Eyer raised her eyebrows. She was about to give them a good show.

“Mr. Emcee, please stop for a moment!” The clear voice cut through the gentle music playing in the background. Everyone who heard it was shocked.

On stage, Edgar Royden was the first to recognize her voice. He turned his head, and his eyes flashed with warning. Jean Eyer blinked nonchalantly. She didn’t care.

With all eyes on her, she stood up and walked on the red carpet towards the couple. Gigi Reece went stiff with shock the instant she saw Jean Eyer. Jean Eyer! When was she released?

No, that wasn’t the point. How was Jean Eyer even able to enter her own wedding?

“Edgar, she must’ve come to make trouble. Kick her out.” Gigi Reece said anxiously. Edgar Royden’s eyes darkened. Everyone in Westburgh knew about the relationship between him and Jean Eyer.

The Jean Eyer he remembered would never do something so ridiculous. His eyebrows furrowed unknowingly as he watched Jean Eyer walk into the center of the hall one step at a time.

“Edgar.” Gigi Reece got increasingly worried. Why wasn’t he saying anything? Could it be that he still had feelings for Jean Eyer?

Jean Eyer kept a smile on her face while she basked in the attention of the guests. She said slowly, “As someone who has been through it, I just want to personally congratulate Mr. Royden and Ms. Reece on their big day. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Edgar Royden stared coldly at her. Gigi Reece said impatiently, “That wouldn’t be very nice, Ms. Eyer. Why don’t we speak privately after the ceremony ends?”

She kept her composure while signaling security offstage. Jean Eyer smirked. Were they getting scared?

Before security got to her, Jean Eyer stepped forward and took the pendant from the emcee’s hands. “Eh? You little…,” said the emcee. He could barely respond in time. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Jean Eyer dangled the pendant. “There are some things that Ms. Reece may be ashamed of, so let me tell you about it. This pendant has a very romantic origin. It was left behind when Ms. Reece rescued Mr. Royden.”

Gigi Reece’s smile froze, and the hand holding her wedding dress tightened. Jean Eyer clearly saw her panic, and her smile widened. “Should I tell the story, or do you want to come clean?”

Shaken, Gigi Reece exclaimed, “Jean Eyer, what are you doing? Give it back to me!”

Jean Eyer pulled her hand away to avoid Gigi Reece’s grasp. Gigi Reece stumbled, but Jean Eyer felt such a force on her wrist that she couldn’t move at all.

Gigi Reece was so enraged. She clenched her teeth and pointed at Jean Eyer, “Edgar, this woman is here to purposely ruin our wedding. Are you just going to let her be?”

The man’s grip slowly tightened. There was an air of fury coming from him. Jean Eyer knew that this was a sign of his temper rising.

Jean Eyer batted her eyelashes and smiled. She said, “Mr. Royden, don’t worry. This is fake.”

“Fake?”

This caused a great commotion offstage.

It was just a pendant. How could it be fake?

Edgar Royden gripped her with such force that it was obvious he didn’t care if she was in pain. “Jean Eyer, there’s a limit to what I can tolerate.”

Jean Eyer tilted her head and ignored his warning.

“That’s funny, there’s a limit to what I can tolerate too. That’s right, you reminded me. There are many journalists recording this. If you don’t act like a gentleman soon, the papers tomorrow won’t be too favorable to you.”

Looking at her bright face that was slightly unfamiliar up close, it was like Edgar Royden was in a trance. His grip loosened unconsciously.

Jean Eyer took the advantage to grab a glass of wine and lightly threw the pendant into the glass in front of Edgar Royden and Gigi Reece.

She swirled the wine glass a few times before letting go completely.

Crash.

The wine glass was shattered all over the floor. The spilled wine had already made its way up Gigi Reece’s luxurious wedding dress.

“Ah!”

Gigi Reece screamed angrily. If it wasn’t for the bridesmaids holding her back, she would’ve pulled out Jean Eyer’s hair in that moment. “Are you crazy? Do you know how much this wedding dress is worth?”

“Is it worth a lot? That’s a shame because you’re not going to be worth much soon.”

Jean Eyer bent down and picked up the pendant from the ground. There had been some gray paint on it that had washed off, and the original scarlet shade was revealed.

But what was peculiar was that the scarlet pendant had the word ‘Jean’ engraved on it!

The guests offstage stared with their eyes wide open. This was more exciting than a magic show.

How did the couple’s token of love have the ex-wife’s name on it?

How could this be?

Gigi Reece was shocked beyond words.

Jean Eyer had a faint smile on her face as she looked at them. “Mr. Royden, I bet you never imagined that this pendant is mine. You thought a fraud like this was your rescuer.”

In that instant, Gigi Reece went pale. “No, it’s not like that, Edgar! That’s not what happened!”
