Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 423

Chapter 423

She didn't bother to conceal her emotions.

There was a hint of distress in the man's eyes.

"The lawyer will come forward to deal with it, so you don't have to worry about it" said Edgar.

With him here, he wouldn't allow Jean to suffer from harm.

Jean growled, "This is the Eyer's family matters. Stay out of my business."

Edgar frowned. She never forgot to determine boundaries.

The man chuckled, "Fine."

"And avoid rambling in front of the media.I have absolutely no relationship with you like that."

She needed to take Edgar out of the situation if she wanted to resolve the complex entanglement. "Ugh, fine."

The man crooned, "Just don't regret it and come begging at me again"

His tone revealed a hint of displeasure. He was the first to exit the vehicle when it had stopped.

When Jean was left behind, he had no desire to wait for her.

"Good."

When Jean noticed the reporters circling and pursuing him, she took advantage of the situation and entered the police station by the side entrance right next to him. The attorney had previously updated Edgar on the status.

Jean was given a notice, "Layla Taylor still refuses to speak, but the director of her design company will be here soon."

Jean frowned.

A voice came from behind, "Mr.Royden, Ms.Eyer"

A woman with a white suit greeted, "You guys are early."

Sadie Shephard had a relaxing presence about her.

A soft smile that paired nicely with hazel brown eyes. She didn't appear to be anxious at all. She seemed to be treating this as if it were not an issue of human life.

"You two need not worry.I have assigned someone to handle PR.For JD, the news is not good. It's not all that horrible, though."

She spoke softly before turning to look at Jean, "Miss Eyer, you still haven't provided me with a thorough response. Have you given JD's contract any thought?" Sadie Shephard didn't anticipate Jean declining her offer prior to the incident.

After all, for a novice to the design community, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. She won't be so naive as to dispute JD's face if she wants to remain in this group.

But regrettably, Jean was silent for a while. She and Layla Taylor made quite an impression on the show.

"Ms.Sadie, are you trying to intimidate me by asking me about this now?"

Jean described her speech as being soft and composed.

Sadie Shephard giggled while gently arching her eyebrows, "Naturally not, why do you believe that? You seem to believe that I was somehow involved in Layla Taylor's accident, which is doubtful." If Jean hadn't given the situation any thought at this time, she would have been foolish.

In addition, based on what she saw throughout the competition, Layla Taylor was not the type of person who would act in such a reckless way.

Since the cops haven't really investigated it yet, someone must be becoming involved in this situation.

Jean didn't consider it, except for the pressure from the JD Group.

Sadie met Jean's gaze, and she grinned, "Ms.Eyer, I sincerely hope you sign a contract with me."

The director straightened her sleeves, "Think it through. My offer stands, and you can replace it impossible to have another a company that will be willing to top that"

She lowered her eyes as she spoke, "I may also renounce my collaboration with other businesses if that is what it takes to get into a contract with you. This earnestness ought to be sufficient." Sadie Shephard focused her eyes on Jean as she stated this, displaying an unavoidable level of resolve.

Reminded by the assistant behind her.

"It's time for us to go, Ms.Sadie."

"I have to go; drawled the lady.

"I have a question the cops want to ask me regarding Layla Taylor."

For some while, Jean didn't move from where she was standing.

"You think she's lying?"

The man asked affirmatively in the ear.

Jean hummed and remained silent.

The case's lead officer, Officer Bunnings, soon escorted them to the office.

"Everyone connected to the crime is currently the subject of an inquiry.Jean and the other competitors are still under suspicion despite their release on bail.So that the case may be solved as quickly as feasible, I hope you can share with me all the information you are aware of."

"Sean Regan and I were Layla Taylor's closest friends at the time of the occurrence; Jean stated.

"You're aware of it as well, right?"

A standard police interrogation.

Jean, however, strongly believed that Sean should not have been found to have any faults.

They may have buried it too deeply, or it may not have anything to do with Sean at all.

She speculated for the entirety of the night that Sadie Shephard and Sean Regan must be involved in some way and that Layla Taylor's contracted firm was working with Edna Jadot to manipulate the situation. However, she had no proof.

Moreover, no one would trust her speculation if it were made public.

Both Layla Taylor and Sean Regan work as designers.

They have worked together for a while, but there had never been any ambiguity in their relationship.

Even the idea that they two were already secretly married had been suggested.

Sean Regan could be the prime suspect in this case.

Though, nobody would trust her speculations.

"Let me know if you have any details in mind"

Jean didn't see it since she didn't glance up.

Officer Bunnings glanced at Edgar once he had finished speaking, and that stare spoke a lot.

"Let's leave."

To check the time, Edgar lifted his wrist.

With him, Jean left the police station. It was clear that she was upset.

Edgar let the door open, "Climb in. The driver will take you home."

To discreetly protect her, he recruited someone for Jean's sake.

"You're no longer following me?"

The change surprised Jean.

"I will send someone to monitor you.I have things to handle."

His gaze darkened, "You heard what Officer Bunnings said. Stay put."

Not for the sake of the case, but for your own security.

Jean obviously didn't think much of these words. She closed the car door after instructing the driver to proceed without looking back.

At a distance, a man watched as the automobile left his line of sight. He was grinning from ear to ear.

"Follow the address"

Jean said as she swiftly checked a location on her phone.

"But Ms.Eyer, let me take you back to your house' the hesitant driver said.

"I'm going to meet a friend soon."

Jean smiled, "Let's go, drop by."

The driver couldn't stop her, so he obeyed orders.

Presently at the station's office upstairs.

Edgar was met personally by Mr.Jones Dehan, who briefed him on the matter.

"Normally, this type of classified information cannot be disseminated, but because of your exceptional standing, I made an exception" "Additionally, storms are brewing for the security deployment. Things are getting mighty serious"huffed the man.

"I hope that the case may be resolved quickly"

Mr. Jones leaned back and looked at Edgar, "Did you already know something?"
