Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Lina the Lead Dancer?

Brad wiped the cold sweat on his brow and cleared his throat. He then placed an arm on Mr. King's shoulder and said in good humor, "Mr. King, I heard you admire a beautiful woman in this establishment. Why don't we call her over so that everyone can see what a beauty she is?"

"Yes, yes!" Mr. King smiled. He sensed the awkward atmosphere in the room and decided to switch the topic. "I'll call her. She's coming soon."

He dialed the intercom and said, "Where is Lina? Why isn't she here yet?"

Then, the private lounge became lively again. The other men chattered away and laughed. Only Edgar continued to play cards quietly at the card table.

Brad and Jonathan exchanged glances before sighing at the same time. It felt like they had narrowly escaped a disaster.

A few minutes later, someone opened the door, and a few beautiful young women in their twenties entered the private lounge.

"Good evening, gentlemen and esteemed guests. I've brought beauties to brighten your time here." An older madam greeted before pushing more women into the private lounge.

The women she brought were warm and friendly. They eagerly sat with the men and pushed the bodyguard to the side.

Brad and Jonathan each had a woman in their arms.

Meanwhile, Edgar remained seated in silence and gave off an unapproachable aura.

He ignored the women's teasing and flirtation and lighted a cigarette. His eyes were cold and intimidating as he blew smoke into the air.

The remaining women stood in seductive poses on the stage with veils over their faces. They wore tight-fitting and low-cut dresses.

Then, the stage lights dimmed.

Soon, someone turned on the music, and the stage lights seemed to move along with it.

Suddenly, the music stopped, and a spotlight shone on the stage, revealing a gorgeous woman.

"Mr. Royden, the lead dancer on the stage is named Lina. She is an exquisite beauty." Mr. King smiled and was eager to get on Edgar's good side.

The women danced gracefully on the stage and moved seductively on the pole.

The lead dancer, Lina, stood out the most among them.

She was stunning and was truly an exquisite beauty as Mr. Ling claimed. Although her movements were a little stiff, one could not help but be mesmerized by her soft curves.

Edgar glanced up from his cards casually and was instantly attracted by the woman dancing in the center of the stage.

Even dressed in a dancing costume and covered in thick makeup, he could still see that the woman was Jean.

Furthermore, Edgar could see that Jean had good flexibility and dancing skills from years of ballet. Thus, doing striptease was a piece of cake for her. She slowly became the center of everyone's attention. Suddenly, Edgar's expression darkened as he pointed at Jean. "You, come here. The rest of you get out."

The women on the stage stopped dancing and did not know what to do.

"That's unnecessary."

Jean pulled off her veil and smirked before pulling down the strap on her shoulder slightly.

Everyone was shocked, and most of the men could not help but gasp.

The men in this private lounge were businessmen who had mingled in high-class evening balls. Thus, they had all seen Jean, the legendary Mrs. Royden, in person.

They never expected to replace her doing striptease before them.

In doing this, she trampled her status as Mrs. Royden under her feet and thoroughly humiliated Edgar.

No one dared to look at Edgar at that moment.

On the other hand, Jean saw that she had achieved the effect she wanted. She danced slowly to the music and gradually peeled away the snug and revealing shirt on her body. However, before she could reveal her chest, Edgar suddenly stood up from the couch and dashed to her before dragging her off the stage.

He glared at her. "Have you had enough?"
