Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 477

Chapter 477

Jean hardened her heart.

Since she had decided to act, she was determined to make it convincing.

"Then, I will no longer have to worry about them bothering me. My life will be so much more peaceful"

Miles was puzzled as he listened to Jean. He hoped she did not mean those words and only said them to bait the enemy.

Edbert observed Jean with his hawk-like eyes for a while. He seemed to be assessing the credibility of her words.

After leaving Jean's room, his smile gradually faded and was replaced with a knowing look.

"Send someone to keep watch at the detention center. She will be visiting Edgar soon." George nodded.

"Do you think she is telling the truth?"

Edbert sneered and said viciously, "It doesn't matter whether she is telling the truth. This grudge has gone on for more than twenty years. It's high time for it to end"

As soon as the elevator door closed, his gaze turned vicious.

"Have you gotten rid of the air gunner?"

"Yes, sir.I've dealt with it? George answered respectfully. Shortly after they left, the doctor came to check on Jean's condition.

"You and the baby are recovering well, but you still need to get sufficient rest and make sure not to get too emotional."

"Thank you."

Jean gave a relieved smile. It was the best news she had heard recently.

"However, you can't leave the hospital yet. There has to be a signature from your guardian."

The nurse took out a form.

It had Edgar's name written on the top left.

The strokes of his handwriting were imbued with strength.

They seemed cold and stern like himself.

"Miles, can you make an appointment? I wish to see him" Jean said calmly.

"But..."

Miles' temple throbbed.

"Mr.Edgar instructed not to let you leave the hospital as it's dangerous."

That was why he did not go to the company but stayed to guard Jean.

Jean looked out the window and replied flatly, "He only cares about his orders and never considers my feelings."

Miles was stunned and did not know what to say.

He left the room quietly to make arrangements and felt anxious for Edgar's sake.

A few hours later, Jean and Miles entered a visitor's room.

As the case was still under investigation, Edgar was not arrested.

Instead, he only remained there to cooperate with the investigation.

The room was dim and cold.

It had a forbidding atmosphere.

Jean walked to the desk and saw how tired Edgar was.

Although he tried his best to hide his exhaustion, Jean could still see it.

"Miles, what's going on?"

He seemed displeased.

I've arranged for Miles to stay in the hospital to care for her.

Why is she here? Doesn't she know what's happening? Getting too close to me won't do her any good.

If the other side notices...

"Leave! I don't want to see you."

He got up after saying that.

Jean ignored his cold treatment and pulled out a chair to sit down.

"I'm here to discuss your properties.I should at least get some alimony before they declare you bankrupt"

Edgar paused his step.

His eyes glowed with a strange color as he stared at Jean's face.

"Edbert came to see me and said you have been removed from Royden Group. He also said a lot of strange things.I didn't expect your uncle to care so much about our relationship. Did you ask him to visit me?' Jean said calmly and ignored Edgar's shocked expression.

She looked up slightly and glanced at the surveillance camera behind him.

After a moment, she smiled gently.

"You owe me many things when we divorced.I thought it would be too late once you have lost everything if I don't demand them now: "Jean, can you.."

"I've been waiting for this day for so long. My father is finally avenged for the wrongs he suffered." Her voice grew heavy.

"If my father were still alive, he would be so happy to see you like this."

Edgar frowned and looked at her face for a long time before saying through gritted teeth, "You should leave"

Jean shook her head and knocked on the table twice.

"I forgot to tell you. I've prepared a gift for you. Since your business is doomed, I have no reason to let Royden Group remain.I will destroy the business empire you built little by little"

"Jean!"

Although his tone was cold, there was still concern for Jean in his gaze.

The surveillance camera could only record Jean's expression, Edgar's back, and their conversation.

Therefore, despite seeing how desperate he wanted her to leave, Jean smiled calmly, "I'm leaving then.Don't worry. I'll take good care of myself. After all, I'm waiting to see the day Royden Group fall." Then, she left and slammed the door behind her.

Miles sighed helplessly from his spot.

"I'm sorry, Mr.Royden. No matter how I tried, I couldn't stop her, but I will send her back to the hospital now"

After saying that, he rushed after Jean.

Edgar remained seated in his chair with a grim and cold expression.

Jean walked to the car when she saw Miles catching up with her. She glanced further away and noticed a suspicious figure following them.

"Send me back to the hospital."

"Sure"

Miles stepped on the accelerator. He kept checking Jean's expression as he drove.

"Why? What's the matter?"

Jean glanced at him.

Miles turned the steering wheel and smiled.

"It's nothing.I thought that your acting skill was incredible. It's good enough to win the best actress award. But I'm not sure whether Mr.Royden understood"

He muttered as he drove.

Jean leaned into the car seat and recalled what had happened then.

After Edgar shouted her name, he mouthed a few words.

His lips had formed those words clearly.

After some time, Jean smiled and gradually closed her eyes.

"Miles, I'm going to rest for a while"

"Sure.I'll wake you when we reach the hospital."

The car gradually arrived at the hospital.

Ben had already been waiting in Jean's room for a while.

"Did you go to see Edgar?"

Ben shouted in astonishment and did not care that Miles was with them. He continued, "You mustn't meet with him with the way things are now. Don't get involved with the matters in Royden Group."

He was worried that she would be dragged in the mess.

Previously, news of Edgar and her remarriage spread everywhere.

Now that Edgar was being investigated, any misstep could drag Jean into the matter and get her into serious trouble.

Miles cleared his throat.

"Mr.Ludwig, please have a cup of coffee. I'll be heading out first"

As Miles closed the door, he looked down helplessly and mumbled, "Mr.Royden, you need to come back soon. Otherwise, it's too risky."

Miles did not mean Royden Group was in danger.

Instead, he feared Edgar risked losing Jean to her suitors.

Jean watched the door close and chuckled.

"Ben, you shouldn't scare Miles. He's loyal to Edgar."
