Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 60

Chapter 60 Know Your Limits

Ben did not understand at all what she was referring to. “Jean, definitely let me know if there’s anything I can help with. Apart from that, that day I met…”

He just heard from his mother that Ally was also an intern at MON & Co., and she was helping out at during fashion week as well. He called Jean mainly because he was worried about her.

“I’m not in the mood to discuss this. I want to go to bed.” Without even waiting for his reply, she hung up the call and dived into her bed. However, she did not know that her confrontation with Rebecca at the beach had been sent back to the local news of her country.

The public relations manager from MON & Co. was very dissatisfied with Jean after seeing that. When she reported the news to the higher-ups, the reply she received was ‘Don’t interfere with this’.

Usually, for such cases, any intern who brought bad press to the company would be fired. I don’t understand. She’s abandoned by Edgar, and she’s just a fallen socialite whom everyone in Yorktown looks down upon. Does she even have a chance to turn her life around? Shee frowned.

Right at this moment, Monica passed by. She took the report from her and tore it up before returning it to her.

“She is now my assistant, Luna, and she’s one of the newbies that our company is planning to train. If you have so much free time, feel free to smoke a cigarette in the washroom and stop plotting against my people,” she said harshly, out of annoyance.

“Yes, Ms. Weller. Please don’t be mad. I’ll leave right away.” With that, the public relations manager quickly walked away from her.

Monica frowned at the shreds of paper on the ground before leaving.

When Jean woke up, she saw a message sent by Monica that only contained a line.

“Someone in the company has their eyes on you. Be careful.”

Her spirits perked up instantly after seeing that.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Weller,” she replied.

After that exchange, she put on the red dress and went to Intercontinental Hotel.

She was unafraid of being someone’s target in MON & Co., as many people had tried to frame her behind her back. Since I’m already in the company, no one can chase me away.

Instead of hailing a cab, she walked to Intercontinental Hotel conspicuously and felt that someone was following her along the way.

Nevertheless, she smiled as she walked up the stairs. At the same time, a car stopped at the entrance. It was actually Kennedy Oprah, Mrs. Oprah’s eldest son.

When he noticed her, he waved to her amicably, and she also nodded in response.

Out of politeness, she waited for him before walking into the hotel together.

“I didn’t get a chance to get your name last time. May I have the honors?” Kennedy was mix-raced. Even though his English was not the best, it was sufficient for a conversation.

Jean knew that he was a powerful man, being the current CEO of Oprah Group.

“Hi, I’m Jean Eyer.”

From afar, Gigi wore a cap and a mask. She dressed up so beautifully to meet this man who seems rich? On top of that, he looks too old for her age.

Hence, she quietly took out her phone to take a picture of them together.

When I return to Yorktown, I’m going to send this to the media and the paparazzi. Just you wait, Jean – you will be known as the shameless b*tch by everyone in town! I’m already looking forward to that day!

Little did she know that she was slowly walking into Jean’s trap.

“I’m waiting for a friend here, so I shan’t disturb your plans any further.” She smiled at him, and quietly apologized to him in her thoughts, as he was part of her plans.

Before coming to the hotel, she had already looked into Oprah Group’s latest business direction and knew that Edgar wanted to secure a S-level project with Oprah Group.

I’m his ex-wife, so of course I should ‘help’ him.

“No problem. See you around, then.”

With that, they split ways and sat on different couches in the hotel, a table away from each other.

Gigi stood at the entrance and peeked into the restaurant. At this moment, an aloof figure appeared at the main entrance – it was Edgar with Miles, and they were heading in Jean’s direction.

She quickly hid behind some ornaments as he walked into the restaurant.

In that instant, she broke down completely. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

They are really having a date here! Is it because of my pregnancy that his desires are not satiated? His feelings for her must have rekindled after seeing her again, so he asked her out on a date at a nearby hotel. Her mind turned completely blank, as she lost control of herself. I can’t lose to her!

She barged into the restaurant aggressively, forgetting the advice Winnie had given her.

“Why do you do this to me?” she yelled in public, just as Edgar was about to take a seat opposite to Kennedy before they proceeded to talk business.

Gigi’s appearance interrupted what he was about to say, and she attracted everyone’s attention.

Sitting behind them, Jean smiled. “It’s starting.”

Usually there wouldn’t be any rude customers at such a luxurious hotel.

In that instant, many annoyed glances darted toward Gigi, but she had completely lost her cool. She charged over to Edgar and pulled his clothes. “You told me that you’re working, Edgar! You lied to me!”

His face darkened instantly as he stopped her. “Go out.”

“I won’t!” She used all her energy to struggle against his grasp, almost falling down in the process.

Suddenly, she fell forward and spilled the tea cups on the table, stirring up the displeasure in both Kennedy and Edgar.

Meanwhile, Jean was looking at the scene with her hand under her chin. At the right timing, she asked, “Ms. Reece, aren’t you pregnant? Be careful.”

As soon as Gigi heard her voice, she immediately turned around. Something’s wrong. Why isn’t Jean at the same table as them? Did I get it wrong?

However, it was too late of a realization.

“Get out, now.” Edgar could hardly contain his anger; he could not wait to shove her away.

“Y-You’re mistaken, Edgar. I-I… I was fooled by Jean! She tricked me!” Her chest heaved up and down from the anger within her, and her face was flushed red as she mumbled, “I thought you were hooking

up with her, and I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Who is this?”

She pointed at Kennedy without any manners.

“Mr. Royden, this is?” Kennedy cleaned the stain on his suit in annoyance.

Edgar pulled Gigi behind his back immediately.

“I’m terribly sorry about this, Mr. Oprah. She is my fiancée.”

The last word was squeezed through his gritted teeth. What transpired moments before had already crossed his line. He was beyond disappointed with Gigi.

At the same time, Jean was enjoying herself behind them. With a wink, she thought, He lost his cool because of this? Edgar, you should train your patience!

Kennedy sighed regretfully. “It’s okay, and I think there’s no need to discuss the project any further.”

If this is how the CEO’s fiancée behaves, how could I have high hopes for this company?

With that, he turned around to leave, and Edgar quickly abandoned Gigi to chase after him. “Mr. Oprah–”

“I can explain.” Gigi finally comprehended the situation and quickly blocked Kennedy’s way. “I was fooled by that woman!”

Edgar held her wrist as he spat harshly, “Shut your mouth up.”
