Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 445

Chapter 445

"You!"

After Jean talked back to Mrs. Summer, she was distracted.

When she came to her senses, she heard Sherry's cries for help.

"Help me..."

She had fallen into the swimming pool, and the surrounding guests were stopped by the bodyguards that Andy had brought with him.

Everyone witnessed the scene, but no one could save her.

"It looks like I'm the only one who can help you."

Andy took off his coat and jumped into the pool.

"Don't come here!"

Sherry shouted. She kept resisting.

But she was no match for Andy's strength.

In the end, he carried her out of the pool as their skin touched.

Sherry was soaked from head to toe, and she had no strength after struggling in the water for some time. She couldn't help but half-rest in Andy's arms.

Under the eyes of the crowd, everyone saw her interactions with Andy.

"How embarrassing. This is the good daughter that you raised!"

Bernard shouted angrily and left at once.

At the other end, Andy's smile deepened.

"Ms.Summer, I heard that you didn't throw your first pitch to Edgar previously. Is it true?"

He was very close to her, and his voice so low that only the two of them could hear.

Sherry's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

"Those who sold you the things are now tied up in my warehouse. You better be obedient and listen to me. Otherwise...you will be the one on the headlines tomorrow" He put one hand around her shoulder and used the other to drape his coat around her shoulders.

Sherry didn't dare to resist at all. She was afraid.

To the extent that she didn't have the nerve to look Edgar in the eye.

At the other end, Jean pushed away Edgar's hand lightly.

"Mr.Royden, I think you should console Ms.Summer, shouldn't you? After all, this is very humiliating."

Her hand held onto her cell phone.

"But thankfully, I was prepared and recorded all these exciting moments."

She had come prepared. She had used Andy to give it to Royden Group and Pinnacle Group. But she still managed to clarify her relationship peacefully.

"I have to try the desserts there."

There was an indifferent smile on Jean's face as she turned to walk to the dessert counter.

Mrs. Summer trembled in anger.

Seeing Andy half-carry Sherry, she had to go over and at least take Sherry away.

"Sherry, get down quickly!"

"Ah? Mrs.Summer, I just saved your daughter in public. Shouldn't you thank me properly?"

Andy pinched Sherry's shoulder hard, and she couldn't move at all.

Looking at the hoodlum that she had attracted, Mrs. Summer could only grit her teeth.

"Please go to the room downstairs. Don't spoil the mood here"

The dinner banquet had to go on no matter what.

Otherwise, the Summer family's reputation would be ruined for good.

"I was thinking the same. We have to look for a quiet place and talk," Andy said as he looked at Jean, who was eating desserts.

His eyes dulled slightly.

"I can only settle for second best."

At this time, Jean suddenly had an appetite to eat.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Jean subconsciously thought that it was Hugo.

"Come and have a bite. The Summer family is extravagant when they make a move. These are desserts by great chefs."

But what she said infuriated the person behind her instead.

"Does it taste good?"

Upon hearing the icy tone, Jean's actions froze for a split second before she continued eating. She acted like she didn't hear anything. "Jean, come here."

He immediately instructed her as his long legs strode to the elevator.

Jean's mouth smacked, and she waved to Hugo, who was on the steps. He was surrounded by partners who were talking to him, and he couldn't leave.

She turned and followed Edgar into the elevator.

When the doors closed, it was like a different world from the outside.

"Are you going down too, Mr.Royden?"

She acted dumb again and asked despite knowing his answer as she pressed the button to go to the parking lot.

As the elevator went down, they were next to each other, and she felt his demeanor grow cold.

"I don't think that you have to get so angry.After all, you didn't want a marriage of convenience with the Summer family. Even if I wasn't here, you would have other ways of escaping their threats. Isn't that right?" Jean mumbled.

"You..."

Edgar was furious and reached out his hand to massage the bridge of his nose.

"There's no need to have dealings with people like Andy because of small issues like these.Do you know how dangerous it is to work with him? Did you consider Eyer Group's future if he had betrayed you?"

Is that what he's angry about? Is it not because she destroyed the dinner banquet that was for him and Sherry? She was caught off guard by this change, and she couldn't come to her senses in an instant. "Is this what you wanted to tell me?"

"Tell me all the conditions you talked about."

His eyes flickered with frost, and he stared straight at her face.

"You should know that Andy's company isn't taking a turn for the better because Royden Group is pressuring them in secret. You won't benefit from getting close to him."

It wasn't easy for Eyer Group to have come so far.

If it was destroyed like that, she would be anxious to tears.

The elevator doors opened.

Without thinking, Jean was about to rush out.

But the man's hand grabbed onto her shoulder, and the two turned at the same time.

There was a softness in his deep and cold eyes. He emphasized each word.

"You knew that I was waiting for you to snatch me away, but you made such a big splash instead."

There was a strong sense of indulgence at the end. His palm held onto Jean's waist as he brought her closer to his chest.

Jean felt warmth in her ear.

Before she could react, his voice filled her ears.

"Since you want to be like this, I will just play this fun game with you" Jean was dumbstruck.

She felt the hand on her waist tighten before he kissed her deeply.

At this time, the elevator suddenly went up.

When Jean realized what was about to happen, it was too late.

The elevator doors opened abruptly.

The invited reporters stood outside and vividly saw the two of them in each other's arms in the elevator, and their posture was so....

Edgar slowly let go of Jean as if realizing that there were people behind him.

His lips were stained with her lipstick.

There were creases on his suit from where Jean grabbed it.

This scene was in no way inferior to what had just happened by the swimming pool on the top floor.

"I'm sorry.I just couldn't help it"

There was a smile in Edgar's deep eyes, and he drew Jean into his arms again as he closed the elevator doors.

After that, the reporters outside came to their senses.

"Just now..."

"Chase after them!"

The reporters immediately started running down the staircase at the side.

The top floor had been lively, but it changed because of what had happened, along with the Summer family leaving.

Someone received news that Edgar led Jean away after the two had shared an intimate kiss in the elevator! Downstairs, Jean flung Edgar's hand away.

She raised her hand and was about to strike him.

Edgar frowned.

"I'm not the one at fault. You provoked me"

Jean gritted her teeth and said defiantly, "You're right.I should have watched you and Sherry continue to date.It would have been better if you got engaged and got married"

She clearly said it in anger, but she wasn't self-aware at all.

Edgar's eyes suddenly darkened. He looked at her and enunciated each word.

"Then why did you come?"
