Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 428

Chapter 428

Jean spoke her confession with great heartbreak.

After finishing speaking, she walked into the cold wind without looking back. She was not afraid of the cold, but she was afraid of having second thoughts.

For her, Edgar should have disappeared from her life long ago.

But the contact during this period made her unstable.

When the phone buzzed, she glanced at the name of the caller.

She opened the door of the taxi and got in.

The man was still standing on the steps, looking at her from a distance.

"Drive fast."

Her lawyer's voice came on the other line, "Ms.Eyer, the investigation of the case has been terminated"

Jean frowned, "How come?"

The matter has not been investigated clearly, and there was no witness or material evidence.

How was it solved? "Layla Taylor declares that she will not hold anyone accountable and has already terminated the contract with JD Company. She will also withdraw from this design competition."

Jean's heart sank.

"Mister, I need to head to the hospital."

When Jean walked into the ward, Layla Taylor's family was already helping her pack her things. Her mother was still tearfully distressed over her daughter's injuries.

Layla Taylor had a cold face, like her expression during the competition.

Jean knocked on the door.

Layla glared at her defensively.

Layla roared, "What are you doing here! I'm not going to hold anyone accountable anymore. You're off the case.Leave me"

"Layla, is this your friend? Don't be so rude to others."

"She's not my friend!"

Layla spoke coldly, "Get out, I don't want to see you."

She had this reaction, and Jean was already mentally prepared. She walked in immediately and put the fruit aside, "Madam, can I have a chat with her alone?"

Layla's mother sighed and nodded.

As the door closed, Layla sneered, "Don't think you can see my jokes if you come here now. It's my own choice to quit this business, and it has nothing to do with anyone. Don't think you can change me!"

"What about Sean?"

Layla was startled; her hands clenched her fingertips tightly. Her emotions began to well up.

Jean continued, as if she didn't see through her mind, "JD wanted to sign a contract with me, but I declined"

The woman explained, "I didn't want to become like you. I've seen the design works you've collaborated with over the past few years, and every one of them are not Sean's design"

In other words, among JD's designers, the most influential person in this room was Layla.

However, under the banner of Sean Regan, the officials attribute all the credit to Sean Regan.

"How could you..."

Layla glanced suspiciously at her immediately and then looked at the door vigilantly, "You invited someone along, but you still started the recording apparatus! I'll be honest with you, I know nothing" Seeing her nervous appearance, Jean sighed, "I'm not as despicable as them. You want to quit because of Sean, correct?"

Layla's eyes darkened.

Tears rolled down his cheeks.

"It doesn't matter if I am stronger than him. The capital behind him is too strong.I can't compare to him. If you want to go on in this journey, talent alone is useless."

Layla sounded like she was in pain.

Jean hesitated for a long time, then said slowly, "What can I do for you?"

"I don't need you to pity me!"

Layla gritted her teeth and turned away.

When Jean realized her fighting spirit, she reassured, "You are extremely gifted and intelligent. Even if you don't pursue a career in design, you will excel in any field you choose." Layla was undone by those words. She sobbed and cried while sitting on the hospital bed with her face covered.

Jean left gently after quietly getting up.

Paparazzi soon hounded them as she left the hospital gates.

"Ms. Eyer, I heard that Layla Taylor has withdrawn from the competition, what do you think about this matter?"

"What happened at that time, Layla Taylor refused to say, do you know the inside story?"

"The relationship between you doesn't seem to be very good. There was a dispute on the show. You came to see her now.Is it hype or gloating?"

Looking at the microphones piled up in front of him, Jean suddenly sneered.

A sharp-eyed reporter immediately pointed the camera at her face.

Jean raised an eyebrow.She made a cold expression.

"I'll retire too."

Under the surprised eyes of the reporters, she walked down the steps.

After the encounter, she had the notion that there was nothing to do but play along in a sinister game that was being controlled.

If she was accurate in her prediction, JD and LKD would continue to collaborate, and the design draught she created will finally be published under Sean's name. These contest's winners will be Edna Jadot and Sadie Shephard.

As for Sadie Shephard's invitation to sign a contract with JD, it was nothing more than to abandon Layla Taylor and let her continue to be Sean Regan's stand-in. What foul play.

Of course, she was unable to help Layla Taylor turn over, but at least she can avoid participating in those plots.

When the news got out, Edgar sat in the car.

The man frowned, "She still knows."

Miles sat in the passenger seat and replied in a low voice, "Now the police station has officially ended the investigation, and all the evidence collected has also been sealed"

Because the victim took it all on herself.

So, this matter was over.

"It's just that Ms. Eyer's retirement now should push the matter to another uncontrollable direction"

The man sneered.

Although he speculated that she would do so, he didn't anticipate that she would.

"Miles, contact the police department again.I want to know who else is paying attention to this case."

Was it his carelessness, the LKD-JD involvement, or his second uncle's affair?

"Yes, Mr.Royden."

Miles immediately wrote down the matter in the memo, but then he raised his head.

"The investment department is already calculating the loss this time, and the two players retired one after another.Proceeds from the show competition will also be affected. Mr.Carson's studio has issued a statement saying the competition will continue."

They were also worried that the Royden Corporation would withdraw their capital.

"No problem"

Miles was surprised and unsure of what his president had meant.

Given the intensity of the competition right now, all the money spent will be lost.

Although the expenditure was minor, it was still a loss.

For Edgar, the loss had another effect.

"Go to the hotel."

"Alright."

As soon as Edgar walked into the hotel gate, a manager greeted him, "Mr.Royden, Mr. and Mrs.Summer are still in the room and have not received any guests."

Edgar hummed and went straight into the elevator.

A few minutes later, Bernard Summer received him in the room.

"You came alone?"

"It's just a small business discussion with Mr.Summer. Your daughter doesn't need to be present"
