Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 315

Chapter 315 Plot

Seeing her resolve, Ben was distressed and exasperated. "So you're just going to let her continue like this? Jeannie, you know better than I do that Edgar will never like her."

This was a fact that Ben had always been reluctant to admit. But he was also a man. If Edgar really liked Gigi, he wouldn't delay and drag things out for so long. Jean looked down and didn't say anything. She didn't want to think about it. She didn't have the nerve to. The air in the living room became slightly stifled.

Ben sighed. "It's fine. Let's not talk about it. I brought over the things that you need. Take a look." Jean got up. "Can I trouble you to send it to this address?"

This should be the last time that she would trouble Ben. Jean handed him a piece of paper. Mr. Jevin's address was on it. Ben took it from her. He felt that something was up with Jean's expression. It was as if she was saying goodbye to him for the last time.

But Jean said that she wanted to rest, so he didn't ask further.

As Edgar heard the lawyer talk about the latest developments, his face darkened.

"This means that the police are sure that Sam colluded with Andy? Gigi isn't involved in this?" Mr. Blanc asked.

Mr. Martin nodded. "Yes. According to the evidence that we have come across so far, Sam is indeed involved in this. When there were problems with projects in Royden Group, Gigi was already preparing to give birth in the hospital. Looking at the timing, she wasn't equipped to interfere."

Edgar didn't say anything.

The door was opened. Edbert walked in, supported by his assistant.

"I heard that there's a development in the case?" He had a concerned look on his face. "What's going on, Edgar?"

"Uncle Edbert!" Edgar made a place for him before instructing Mr. Martin to repeat the details.

Edbert suddenly saw the light. "No wonder I heard that Andy invited Sam for a meal. As it turns out, the two of them were on the same boat a long time ago."

After he said it, he saw that Edgar was thinking about something.

He smiled and asked, "Edgar, do you think that this evidence is worthless?"

"Andy personally revealed that he was the one who instructed Gigi to do all this. Now that such evidence has been found against the Reece family, I can only feel that Sam is protecting his daughter. Gigi is still the culprit."

Or maybe Sam was involved as well. The father and daughter couldn't escape.

Mr. Blanc and Mr. Martin's eyes met. They didn't say anything.

"This is a Royden family matter. Do the both of you mind going out for a cup of tea? I want to talk to Edgar privately." Edbert smiled gently and politely.

"Alright, Mr. Edbert. Take your time." Mr. Blanc stood up immediately.

Edgar did things ruthlessly and brutally. Only Edbert could make a difference.

Only the uncle and the nephew were left in the meeting room.

Edbert slowly sighed. "Edgar, I've known Sam for many years. He isn't very capable, but he has good taste. He is also greedy and vain. I would believe it if he colluded with Andy to receive benefits." "After all, Gigi is still young. She still has years ahead of her, and you've registered your marriage with her. If she's implicated, the outside world would think that she and Andy have some secret relationship. If that happens, it would be detrimental for the both of you."

Edgar slowly turned his head. "What are you trying to say, Uncle Edbert?"

"Since Sam can assume responsibility, let him do it. Even if you're not thinking of Gigi, you have to think of your child."

Once Edbert said it, he raised his hands and patted Edgar's shoulders. "You should know how important a warm home is to a child's development."

Thump.

The tight string in Edgar's heart broke.

The pain that he had experienced as a child still haunted him now in the form of nightmares. It made it hard for him to sleep.

At this moment, what Edbert said pierced his heart.

He gripped the pen in his hands and said coldly yet firmly, "No, Uncle Edbert. I don't agree. It's because I've experienced it. Gigi has to be fully responsible if she was involved." Otherwise, the child would be influenced by her and might be affected in the future.

Edbert's expression stiffened and he nodded. "Since you've already made a decision, I won't interfere. Do as you wish."

"Thank you, Uncle Edbert."

Edgar got up and went to look for Mr. Martin.

Edbert sat in the meeting room alone. His expression darkened, and he had complicated feelings. "He's grown up. It's not easy to control him."

He sneered and stood up while leaning against the table.

"I'm very curious to see how this will be settled in the end."

When his assistant heard about the results of the discussion between Edgar and Mr. Martin, he reported it immediately, "Mr. Royden still wants to sue Gigi and Andy, as well as Sam."

He was going to annihilate the Reece family.

Edbert looked at the traffic outside with a meaningful smile on his face. "Help me arrange a meeting with Sam."

"But what's the use of meeting with him now? The evidence is undeniable. It's a fact that he colluded with Mr. Shaw."

"Everyone is a business partner. It's normal to meet and have a meal. As for stealing the company's confidential document, I want to see how they found out about it. Was it a rumor, or was it mere speculation?"

His assistant secretly wiped his sweat after hearing it.

As it turned out, everything was still in Edbert's control. And from what he had said, not only could Gigi be found innocent, even Sam and Andy could escape unscathed.

"Next, I have to see how much that Shaw fellow is willing to give up."

There was a scheming gleam in Edbert's eyes. He was a businessman and naturally thought of his interests. Andy would still be useful in the future if he were kept around.

If Edgar were the sole authority of Royden Group, it wouldn't necessarily be good news for Edbert.

Miles had contacted a few law firms and received the same reply. They weren't willing to defend Jean.

"Miles, it's not that I don't want to do it for the sake of Royden Group. We really want to serve Mr. Royden, but it's impossible for this case to turn around. Gigi has already handed in new evidence this morning. On top of Jean personally admitting to the crime on record, there's no need for this case to continue."

Miles reported this to Edgar. He wasn't surprised to see the man's cold eyes.

Edgar's brows tightened. It was as if the matter had come to the point of no return.

"What's going on with Andy's side?"

"Several board members wanted to meet and talk with him, but he rejected them. After being released from custody, he has been staying at home and has yet to leave the house." Edgar's fingers tapped the table.

"Since evidence has been found in Sam's study room, the police would definitely investigate further. If there still isn't enough evidence, then the case will be more complicated." Miles was startled.

"Do you mean to say that someone is secretly manipulating the direction of this matter?"
