Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 435

Chapter 435

The cabin was rocking.

Jean could barely stand still by gripping the edge of the window.

It was still dark in the room, but Jean could vaguely see the man leaning against the door after her eyes adapted to emergency lighting that slipped through the door gap.

The bleeding in his arm worsened, and he was ashen- faced with a layer of perspiration covering his forehead.

Noticing Jean's gaze, he put on a handsome and relaxed smile.

"Don't worry, Miss. I'm not a bad guy."

Jean frowned and did not answer, knowing that no bad guys would declare their intentions upfront but were all wolves in sheep's clothing.

The man leaned his hand against the wall for support and slowly stood up, leaving a ghastly blood stain on the wall.

"The ship must have run into rocks. The reef distribution is complicated in this region. Please...cough, cough, don't be afraid"

The man was concerned about Jean even at a critical time like this.

Jean uttered with a solemn expression, "You should care for yourself first."

The man was startled for a second before grinning widely.

"Okay."

The ship continued its journey.

As the rocking smoothened, the clamor outside gradually ceased.

"You should go now"

The next second, the light turned on, and Jean realized the man had passed out beside the door.

"Hey, if you dare to feign death, I'll get someone to throw you into the sea!"

But alas, the man had indeed lost his consciousness.

Even though he was unconscious, his look remained agonized, with his brows knitted.

Meanwhile, in Majesty Hotel, Sherry gazed at Edgar with butterflies in her stomach.

"I'm not asking for much.I just need you to take a few pictures with me."

However, she didn't realize Edgar was different from other men. He controlled the economy of the entire city, and his words could greatly impact one's fate.

Seated on the couch, he looked extremely cold as he spat, "Sherry Summer, I'm giving you one last chance. Where's Jean?"

At that moment, he couldn't be bothered to care about Gigi's safety.

He even suspected that Gigi wasn't kidnapped by Sherry and Edbert but colluded with them to set up this trap. He didn't care about their intentions - as long as Jean was safe, he would let them off. Otherwise, he would get back at them at all costs.

Edgar remained very calm. He could doom her life at any time.

However, Sherry continued to challenge his bottom line tentatively.

"Of course, I can tell you where she is because I gain no benefits by hiding it from you. However, I hope that you can help me out too."

She stood up and slowly walked behind Edgar.

The dress she wore accentuated her perfect body figure.

She lifted her hand to close the curtain and turned on the table lamp.

Her actions were so natural that nothing seemed wrong.

But soon, Edgar had a dizzy spell and felt his limbs numb.

Even his voice became weak as he gasped, "What did you do?!"

In fact, he was yelling at Sherry, but his tone didn't intimidate her at all.

"I didn't know this thing would take effect this fast."

Curling her lips, Sherry suddenly lowered her body to press against Edgar's back.

She brushed her cheek against his and hummed, 'After all, you're an ordinary man too.

Think about it, what's different between Jean and me? Both of us are women, and both of us are fond of you"

"Jean..."

Edgar could only mutter before he lost consciousness.

An hour later, Joseph barged into the hotel room with Bernard and Venus.

Sherry and Edgar were lying on the bed, disheveled in appearance.

Venus almost flared up, but when she noticed the man on the bed was Edgar, she teared up immediately and ran over to hug Sherry. "Oh, my darling, how could he do this to you? You must be traumatized!"

Venus bawled her eyes out as if it was the end of the world.

Joseph furrowed his brows.

Edgar contacted me while on the way here from the police station and said that there was a change in plan, but it turned out...

He brought two police officers with him.

"Officer Bunnings, we can't wake him' Joseph walked over to check on Edgar and commanded, "Move him out and send him back to the station"

Weeping at the side, Sherry secretly tugged at Venus and cried even more fiercely.

"Mommy, I never thought that he would... My reputation will be ruined if the public becomes aware of this."

Venus chimed in, "You're right. You guys can't bring this jerk away. Don't leak this incident too. If others become aware my daughter lost her virginity in such a manner, how will she live the rest of her life?" Joseph's subordinates stopped moving Edgar.

Indeed, in situations like this, some family members wouldn't want the police to interfere.

However, Joseph was reluctant to give in.

So, Bernard walked out with a stony face and made a few calls.

In no time, Joseph received orders from his commander to leave the place immediately and keep the case classified.

Obviously, this was a result of Bernard pulling strings.

"Retreat."

With Joseph's order, all the police officers evacuated the room.

Before Joseph left, Bernard called out to him and said, "Officer Bunnings, you're a wise man. This is my one and only daughter.I don't wish to see any scandals associated with her.I hope you understand." Joseph responded with a straight face, "Don't worry"

With that, he turned and left resolutely.

By the time Bernard returned to the room, Sherry had showered and changed.

"Are they gone? They aren't suspicious of anything, are they?"

When Sherry tugged at Venus, the latter immediately realized it was a trap.

Otherwise, someone as aloof as him wouldn't do such a ruthless deed.

"There's nothing they can do even if they're suspicious of something. I've settled everything."

"Good then.Keep your volume down lest we wake him up."

Venus looked delighted.

If Sherry was lucky enough to conceive Edgar's child, all their problems would be solved.

"Don't worry, he'll remain unconscious at least until tomorrow. The drug is very effective. Things will get out of hand if the police do a blood test on him."

Sherry tied her hair while walking out of the bathroom like an unconcerned person.

The traces of tears on her face were washed away, exposing her fair face that was filled with evil intentions.

She stared at the man who was out cold on the bed.

"He'll remain in this state for at least another day.We must get everything settled before he wakes up."

Venus was surprised.

"What else do we need to settle?"

"Send Gigi abroad immediately.

Although I've made all the necessary arrangements, I'm worried the goons will not be capable.

If Jean manages to escape, things will become troublesome."

Bernard let out a cough.

"Look at the daughter you raised. How meticulous she is."

With that, he ignored the two women and walked out of the room.

On the other hand, Venus was very pleased with Sherry's performance.

"Don't bother about the stubborn old man. Go ahead and do what you need to. We have many witnesses for the incident today, so Edgar can't possibly get away with it"
