Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 243

The public display of intimacy confirmed the speculations about their relationship.

Though Jean was still frowning, everyone had already witnessed that.

No matter how much she tried to explain herself, it was futile.She would soon be known as the shameless woman who seduced Edgar, who already had a pregnant fiancée. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

On top of that, this happened in front of Zenith.She closed her eyes in pain, hoping that the humiliating show would end soon.She could not stand another second of this.

Nevertheless, Edgar hugged her shoulders tightly, making her unable to leave.

"You guys...

Zenith wanted to ask something, but he could not bring himself to do that.

What would happen to her reputation if it's formally announced? On the other hand, Mrs.Knox looked at the couple happily.

"You guys are young, after all.There's always a chance to turn over a new leaf."

Jean lowered her head as she clenched her fists, determined not to meet anyone's eyes.

"Jean, we are the guests today.Why don't we give a toast to Mrs.Knox?"

With that, Edgar passed a wine glass to her using his free hand.He had a natural demeanor of a king.

If a king were to be appointed in that city, he would take that position.

A long time ago, Jean was happy that she had such an attractive husband.

Little did she know that he would be her nightmare.

"Hmph?"

He narrowed his eyes and asked in her ears, "Weren't you drinking happily with Ben? Are you afraid now?"

Gritting her teeth, she took the wine glass from him, knowing that he wanted to humiliate her in public.

When they stood together, they looked very compatible with each other.

However, anyone close to them would notice that Jean was not happy at all.

Instead, she looked forced.

"I can't believe that she is able to get back together with Edgar after the divorce.How impressive"

"She's left with nothing now, yet she still wants to rebuild Eyer Group.If it weren't for him, do you think she'll be able to do that?"

The crowd started commenting on the situation, but Jean merely finished the wine in a gulp, suppressing the tears in her eyes.She did not dare to look at Zenith at all.

How many people have I hurt with this? "I'm going to bring her to meet a few business partners, so please excuse us."

With that, he smiled and shot a meaningful glance at Zenith.

As someone who's much younger, that behavior was quite provocative indeed.

"Jensen, follow them and have a look at the situation.I doubt Jean would do something like that.Let's ask her about it when we have the chance"

"Got it, Dad.I'll do that now: With that, he turned around to keep an eye on Edgar and Jean.However, before he could even take a few steps, Nathan appeared before him.

"Hey, Jensen, we haven't had a good talk since you returned.Let's go over there to catch up!"

"But—"

Jensen was a soft-spoken person; Nathan easily distracted him and dragged him away.

With a wide smile on his face, he made small talk with Jensen just to hold him back.

From Edgar's expression just now, Nathan knew that he was jealous of Jensen and Ben.

Based on his status right now, he could have any woman in the world, yet he still can't move on from his ex-wife, who doesn't even have much interest in him.

Nathan guessed that he had threatened Jean, and face- palmed himself.

Who knew that Edgar would stoop this low for a woman? On the other hand, Edgar brought Jean to the main hall.He was still holding her hand so she did not get a chance to leave.

"Go ahead."

He jerked his chin at the dessert bar in front of them, remembering how much fun she had with Ben on such occasions in the past.

As soon as he remembered that, he felt anger flaring up within him.

"I don't-"

"You don't have any appetite when you're with me?"

He turned around and placed a few pieces of cake in front of her.

"Eat it.If you don't finish it, you can't leave here tonight."

He was a man of his words.

"You are crazy, Edgar."

She glared at him.

Just as she slowly reached for the cake, a sudden commotion rang behind them.

"Let's take a look.It seems to be Edgar's fiancée"

Jean also turned around to have a look.

When everyone looked past the corridor, they saw Gigi crying in front of the window.

"Oh, how pitiful my life is!"

The people from the Knox family quickly walked to her.

With a heavily pregnant belly, she sat on the stairs and sobbed loudly.

"She's about to marry Edgar, yet Jean ruined everything.She's due soon, yet her husband is going to reconcile with his ex-wife.No wonder she can't handle the stress"

Jean immediately retracted her hand, but Edgar grabbed on tighter.

"Why don't you let go now?"

He suddenly turned around and looked at her affectionately.

"I will never let go of you anymore in this life."

He spoke in a low, velvety voice that felt like a perfectly aged wine.

Before she could think about what he meant, he pulled her away.

Gigi was sobbing her heart out, but when she saw Edgar, she slowly stopped crying and looked up at him tearfully.

"Edgar!"

Right after that, she saw that he was holding Jean's hand.It was clear that Jean was not the instigator; it was Edgar who regretted his decision and went back to her.

The reality hurt Gigi even more.

"Did you have to ruin my reputation in public like this?" she accused, staring into his eyes.

I don't get it! What went wrong? Everything was going well! Why is he suddenly unable to leave her? Did she tell him about me and Andy? Suddenly, she didn't dare to utter another word.

Instead, she merely bit her lips as she devised a plan in her mind.

"Go ahead and carry on with your tantrum if you haven't had enough.I have had enough of this."

Edgar had already given her many chances.

"What do you mean, Edgar? Are you really going to remarry her?"

Gigi froze upon hearing that.

The crowd was also surprised to hear that.

Even though there were rumors before this, this was the first time Edgar confirmed the speculations himself.

"She seduced him even though he already has a pregnant fiancée.The Eyer family has a knack for raising their girls indeed."

"I can't believe she has the guts to stand here.She really would do anything for money!"

The snide remarks from the crowd entered Jean's ears.Is this Edgar's goal - to ruin my reputation and use me as an excuse to dump Gigi?
