Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 446

Chapter 446

Jean was startled for a moment. She felt much affection in his gaze. She must have been overworked.

Otherwise, why would there be such an illusion? If he knew how to love, such a situation wouldn't have appeared between them.

Edgar caught the momentary hesitation in her eyes. He walked up and held her wrist.

"Let's not play around anymore. I'm obviously in your heart. One word from you, and we can start afresh.Am I right?"

It was just a split second.

Jean figured it out.

She smiled.

"How easy for you to say"

She slapped his hand away and increased the distance between them.

"I don't care if the reporters take pictures.After all, you're the one who is given the bad name of scum.I'll wait for the news and see how you ease the relationship with Pinnacle Group" Edgar would never yield to the Summer family. He was most likely going to get into trouble with Pinnacle Group.

She turned and left without turning around.

The man was left on the spot, and he was surrounded by reporters who caught up with him.

"Mr.Royden, what happened today?"

"Are you cheating?"

Seeing cameras and flashes, Edgar slowly sighed.

"It's as you've seen."

The reporters wanted to ask further when Hugo's car drove out of the parking lot at the side.

It passed with a roar and stopped by the road, picking up Jean, who had walked far away.

At that moment, the reporters looked at Edgar with a sympathetic expression rather than a curious one.

"Mr.Royden!"

Miles rushed over with others, and they stopped the reporters in time.

"I'm sorry, Mr.Royden. There was traffic."

Miles put on the seatbelt and saw his boss' deep and cold demeanor.

With one glance, he knew that Edgar was angry. He hesitated for a moment and asked for instructions in a low voice.

"Are we still going according to plan?"

He hadn't been there with Edgar because he was busy arranging for media with public opinions.

With an order from Edgar, the truth of Sherry being humiliated that day would be revealed. He didn't wipe it out, and it maintained the Summer family's image. He had instructed the media to report that Sherry misunderstood.

"No."

Edgar massaged the bridge of his nose, and his voice was slightly tired.

The car stopped at Royden's family Villa when Nathan rushed over in his car.

"I heard that Andy made a scene at the Summer family's dinner banquet. What happened?"

Edgar's face looked tired, so he made Miles summarize.

When Nathan found out that Jean was taken away by Hugo, he could understand why the person before him was feeling so down.

"Edgar, I know that you're unhappy now, but you have to think about how you can redeem the current situation. Otherwise, people will call you scum."

On one hand, he was entangled with his ex-wife, and on the other, he was going to be in a marriage of convenience with the Summer family.

To retain the image of both the Summer family and Sherry, the Summer family was likely to steer the wind in his direction.

When the time came, it was bound to affect Edgar's reputation.

"Maybe you should release a notice to the media, so no one will think that you did something to Sherry"

Nathan said as he thought about it from Edgar's perspective.

So that people like his Uncle Edbert wouldn't take advantage of him again.

The man raised his eyes slightly and said indifferently, "She knows that I didn't touch Sherry that day. There's no need to clarify."

He didn't care about how other people and the outside world thought of him at all.

Nathan was suddenly startled.He immediately looked at Miles, who was next to him.

"He's talking about Jean, right?"

Miles nodded furiously.

"That's what I thought. No one else other than her can control Mr.Royden's emotions."

As Nathan spoke, his cell phone rang again. He glanced at the caller ID and wrinkled brows.

"You're kidding me.."

He answered the call, and as he heard what the other party had to say, his expression changed. He put his cell phone down and asked Edgar, "You've sold your shares in Reece Group, haven't you?" "Yes. Why?"

His gloomy feelings were slightly alleviated.

"Sam couldn't replace Gigi, so he went to report her as missing, and he fainted in the police station. As he was being treated, they found that he injected something"

As soon as Nathan finished, Miles got the car keys ready.

"Jean will definitely go"

Edgar frowned and took the car keys from Miles as his long legs strode into the elevator.

"Miles, wait for my call. Get the media to prepare article drafts. He's not thinking straight right now"

Nathan said before quickly following Edgar into the elevator.

Miles stood at the spot.

As he watched the elevator doors close, he immediately contacted the public relations manager. But the other end was hectic.

"Miles, you're too late. Pinnacle Group came first, and they announced that they would never consider working with Royden Group. Furthermore, many reporters took pictures of Mr.Royden and Ms.Eyer in a passionate kiss.It's now going viral online"

The public relations manager's hand hurt from answering calls.

"Moreover, Mr. Edbert just came to the office with his secretary, and they went up to the meeting room.I don't know if it's because of this"

"Don't tell me..."

Miles rushed into the elevator.

"I'm coming to the office now!"

The development of the matter had been within Edgar's grasp, but on the way to the police station, he received a call from Miles, and his expression changed suddenly.

"Nathan, turn around."

"Huh?"

Before Nathan could come to his senses, Edgar said coldly, "Uncle Edbert is making a move. What happens with the Reece family is Jean's private affair. She doesn't want me to interfere." When he was speaking, his demeanor became very fierce.

Ever since the Summer family started campaigning, his Uncle Edbert had been biding his time and made a supreme effort to draw a line with Pinnacle Group.

Now that the matter between Edgar and Sherry had come to nothing, Edbert couldn't sit still.

"Alright.I was worried about this as well. As long as you won't regret it."

From how Nathan saw it, even if Jean hated getting involved with Edgar, she wouldn't treat him as coldly as before if he could help her settle the entanglement with the Reece family. But in life, no one can have it both ways.

His eyes darkened, and he took out his cell phone to call Joseph.

When Jean arrived home, she saw Gigi drinking in the living room.

The floor was filled with empty bottles, and Susan was nowhere to be seen.

"You don't have to look for her. She left after I scolded her."

Gigi sat with her legs crossed, and she sneered rudely.

"At the end of the day, she's a servant from the Royden family. You've been divorced from Edgar for so long. You don't have status or power. You're unworthy, Jean wrinkled her brows in frustration. She walked forward and wanted to pick up the bottles on the floor. But as soon as she moved, Gigi threw a bottle at her.

The bottle smashed in front of her.

With a crack, the floor was filled with glass shards.

It was hard for her to take a step forward.

Gigi did it on purpose. Her smile deepened.

"Oops, how did it slip out of my hands? It wasn't deliberate."

She waved her hands gently, which were covered with big and small wounds.

"Perhaps my injuries are in such a bad state that I can't recover."

She had gone mad from being in pain, but she was still tormenting Jean.
