Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 206

Chapter 206 You Want to Run Away? It’s Too Late

Everything was as Jean had expected. Not long after she got back to the villa, Edgar’s car arrived. As soon as he went in, he asked Jean, “Did you go to the hospital?”

Jean was peeling fruits in the dining room. She looked up with an innocent expression. “What?”

“I said, did you go to the hospital to frighten Gigi!” Edgar was filled with rage. The doctors at the psychiatry department said that Gigi had a bad psychotic episode. They said that she was speaking nonsense and that she saw someone who shouldn’t be there. “You’re already controlling my freedom, Edgar, isn’t that enough?”

Jean let go of her hands and blurted out furiously, “If you really want to accuse me of something, show me proof. If you can show me proof, I’ll admit it.”

The two of them started arguing in the dining room. Susan heard the noise and ran out of the kitchen. “Don’t get angry, Mr. Royden. Ms. Eyer hasn’t left the villa today.”

She didn’t want the two of them to argue so much. Jean stared at Susan and didn’t say anything. Edgar looked straight at Jean and stared closely at Jean’s lovely face. “Alright. You better hope I don’t find evidence, otherwise…”

“Mr. Royden!” Miles received a phone call and rushed in. “Mr. and Mrs. Reece are almost here. They’re hoping that they can bring Ms. Reece back from the hospital soon.” Edgar’s body slowly straightened. He said in a cold voice, “Bring her back?”

Miles replied, “Yes. The Reece family feels that Gigi shouldn’t have been admitted.” They said a lot more on the phone, but Miles chose not to say it to not add fuel to the fire.

While they were speaking, Sam and Winnie came in with flustered expressions. After clearly seeing that Jean was standing in front of Edgar, Winnie’s expression distorted with envy. She frowned and avoided the gaze of Jean, who was smiling faintly.

Sam, on the other hand, cried out loud, “No wonder you wanted to send my daughter to that kind of place. It’s because you want to secretly meet this woman. Don’t you feel sorry to my daughter?”

Winnie was by his side and carefully tugged at him. “Sam.”

Sam didn’t care. He brushed her hand aside and rushed to Edgar. “You never respected me, and you always looked down on the Reece family. I won’t hold that against you, but today you must return my daughter to me.”

Was that his opening remark?

Jean silently took half a step backward. She got herself together and got ready to witness the show.

Gigi was sent to the psychiatric hospital by Edgar. How could the Reece family sit still?

If a mishap happened to their child, they would no longer be able to depend on Edgar, who was like a big tree to them. They clearly wanted to leech off the Royden family’s power and wealth, yet they were still acting high and mighty in front of Edgar.

Jean commended Sam’s courage.

Even after she reminded him that Edgar wasn’t a good person to deal with, Sam was still… reduced to a pawn in her hands.

In contrast, Winnie was a lot more quick-witted.

She quietly sized up Jean’s expression and guessed that everything that had happened might have had something to do with Jean.

Does she really have the capability to set Gigi up in an underhanded manner right in front of Edgar?

Winnie thought about it and felt that Jean was so frightening.

Not only did she scheme well, but she was also good at putting on an act.

But even if there were ten Jeans, they wouldn’t be a match for Winnie.

Seeing the furious Sam, who was yelling at Edgar, Winnie sighed in silence. The father and daughter really got carried away by wishful thinking.

“Are you done?”

Edgar’s expression slowly darkened and the frost in his eyes billowed again and again. “Mr. Reece, if you think I handled the situation incorrectly, feel free to take your daughter home.”

Sam’s expression stiffened. He didn’t think that Edgar would be so agreeable. Edgar must have been frightened by his enraged appearance. Sam felt a lot happier and said freely, “At least you’re tactful.”

Then, Edgar said coldly, “Henceforth, the marriage between the Royden and Reece family is dismissed. There won’t be any relationship between us.”

“What!”

Sam’s brows went up.

Winnie’s heart fell with a thud. It’s over.

He has angered the tiger in Edgar.

“Don’t get angry, Sam. Sit down and slowly talk about it. Edgar is just like us. He’s just doing this for Gigi and the child in her womb. We’re a family. Don’t say that we’re two different families.” Since Winnie married Sam, it was only natural that she shared both his honor and disgrace.

At this point, she could only play the role of a good wife, and soothe Sam.

If they really went up against the Royden family, the Reece family would only be waiting to go bankrupt.

Just one touch from Edgar would be enough to make them suffer.

Winnie gave Sam a way out of the situation by saying that.

His palm was holding on to the corner of the desk tightly. Looking at Jean, who was standing at one side and watching them, the rage in him flared again.

He didn’t dare meet Edgar with force. Maybe he could bring Jean into it instead.

“Also, this woman keeps appearing in your house. What in the world does this mean? What relationship do the both of you have?” Although Sam was still shouting, it was obvious that his voice was a lot softer.

Winnie let out a sigh of relief.

At least this man isn’t too dumb.

If it had been any other time, things might have ended there, but Jean, a key player, was at the scene.

Of course the fury in Sam burned even brighter.

“Winnie is right. You’re a family. It’s not good that I’m here as an outsider. I’ll leave immediately!”

There was a smile on Jean’s lips. She clapped and was about to leave.

Sam was still sitting there, swearing.

The next second, Jean’s wrist was grabbed by somebody.

He pulled with force while lowering his eyes. “She is not going anywhere.”

“You…”

Sam’s eyes widened as he glared at them. Wasn’t Edgar basically slapping him in his face?

“Is this how you treat the Reece family? You’re going too far, Edgar.”

He shouted while soothing his hand over his chest. It was clear that he was enraged.

Winnie immediately supported him. She slowly looked up at Jean, and her eyes revealed worry and panic.

Without thinking much, Jean knew what Winnie was worried about. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

She turned her head sideways and deliberately smiled. In a charming and alluring manner, she said, “Mr. Royden, can you not bear to part with me? What should I do? It’s not appropriate if I stay in your house without a proper status.”

Sam almost fainted out of anger.

Edgar locked his daughter up in a hospital, but was hanging out with his ex-wife at home.

As Edgar’s future father-in-law, how could Sam accept that!

Rage flashed through Edgar’s eyes. He gripped her wrist tightly. “Shut up.”

Jean was in pain. She cried out delicately, “You’re hurting me.”

There was an awful expression on his face. He ruthlessly pulled Jean to him and said in the coldest voice, “I’ll give you a status again. I’ll make you stay in the cage I built for you for the rest of your life. Living will be hard but dying will be harder.”

Jean’s expression froze. She wanted to pull her hand back.

There was actually a trace of a sneer on Edgar’s face.

“You want to run away? It’s too late, Jean.”

With much grandiose, he hooked her into his embrace. Both of his arms stopped Jean from escaping. He bent down and kissed her ferociously.

He tore into her and invaded her senselessly…
