Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 113 Rekindle Old Flame Gigi's voice sounded from outside. "Edgar, how is it going?"

She could not bear to wait anymore. Edgar and Jean had been in the room for nearly half an hour. No one knew what was going on inside. Jean looked at the man trapping her between his arms and smiled. "Mr. Royden, your beloved is looking for you."

Edgar stared at her face with cold eyes and tightened his grip. Why hasn't she called out in pain?

Why is she behaving so nonchalantly?

She is willing to ruin her reputation all to fight against me?

Edgar kept thinking about the matter but still could not understand how he felt. He rubbed the wound on her neck with his fingers, causing her to frown in pain.

Then, he let go of her. "Painful, isn't it?"

Jean ignored him and pulled open the door. "Edgar!" Gigi shouted and instantly noticed Jean's wrinkled shirt collar. She dashed over with her face flushed with fury.

"Get out of the way."

Jean immediately pushed Gigi away.

"You..." Gigi wanted to say something, but she suddenly noticed Edgar's shirt collar was opened wide, revealing a lipstick stain near his chest.

Gigi felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She was anxious just now, but now, her mind had turned blank.

"Edgar, you..."

Edgar looked at her indifferently. "Go to your car."

Gigi did not heed his words but ran after him. "Edgar, you owe me an explanation. Why were you in the room with Jean for so long? What were you doing?"

Edgar ignored her, but she refused to give up. "Don't you know how people were mocking me just now? Edgar, stop right there!"

It was Gigi's first time lashing out at him.

Edgar's gaze turned stern. "The thing is in the car. What have you taken from the studio?"

"I didn't take anything!" Gigi frowned and suddenly recalled something. "I only asked Linda to get me some snacks."

She looked confused, but when she opened the bag, the necklace was there.

"How can this be?" Linda was in disbelief and quickly explained to Gigi, "I don't know how this happened."

Gigi gritted her teeth furiously and had an idea. "Edgar, we now have evidence. It must be Jean who framed me."

"Hmm," Edgar responded indifferently.

Gigi ordered immediately, "Linda, get Director Lewis and everyone from MON & Co. here. I must show them Jean's true colors."

"Yes, I'll go now."

However, Edgar said coldly, "It is better that you don't do this."

Gigi was stunned. "Edgar! How can you side with that woman?"

At this moment, Edgar wondered if Gigi was an idiot.

"You brought the bag to the car by yourself, and you have no evidence that Jean framed you. If you accuse her now, who will believe you?"

"As long as you are here, they will..."

Gigi suddenly paused and stared at Edgar. Her face flushed with embarrassment. "Are you telling me you are on Jean's side?"

Edgar did not reply, but his indifference clearly showed his attitude toward the matter.

"That is all for this matter."

Gigi took a deep breath and blocked his way. "No, Edgar. I won't let this matter go. She has schemed against me many times now. Why do you keep tolerating her?"

Edgar frowned and had lost all his patience for Gigi.

He pushed against his surging anger and said, "Tell me. How did Jean get the wound on her neck?"

"How would I know?"

Gigi's gaze flickered as she shouted, "She must have offended someone she shouldn't have!"

Edgar clenched his fist and replied in a chilling tone. "Previously, she caused a scene at the wedding because loan sharks threatened her with her debt. Yesterday, someone injured her so badly that she had to be rushed to the hospital. Gigi, I'm not an idiot."

Gigi panicked. "Edgar, please let me explain!"

However, Edgar got into his car and left.

Gigi kept hitting on his car window and ran after his car. Still, Edgar ignored her.

A few minutes later, the Heart of the Emperor returned to its original place.

Meanwhile, Gigi claimed to be ill and left the studio.

After that, the magazine photo shoot proceeded as before.

However, tabloid news broke out on the Web.

"Mr. Royden and his ex-wife rekindled old flames and openly showed affection in the studio."

The news said someone who was on the scene claimed Edgar did not love Gigi. Otherwise, he would not have canceled their wedding twice over Jean.

Jean frowned as she read the news. Her gaze turned cold.

Although she expected the matter to leak to the press, she did not expect it to happen so soon.

Why didn't Edgar get his people to stop the news?

Jean was busy pondering on this question and did not notice Zoe coming near her.

Zoe called out, "Jean!"

"Huh?"

Zoe looked at Jean's dazed expression and sighed helplessly. "The photoshoot ends after today. Mr. Wilton has approved three days of leave for you. You should take a good rest at home."

"I'm alright."

Jean stood up and suddenly felt dizzy.

She had aggravated the wound on her neck, causing her to gasp in pain.

"Don't force yourself. You should take care. Also, if the paparazzi report on today's matter, the company will deal with it. You don't have to say anything if they approach you." Zoe looked at Jean with compassion.

Jean nodded and stopped refusing the leave.

Once the photo shoot ended, everyone began packing their things. Meanwhile, Jean carried her backpack and walked outside alone.

Suddenly, a car began to follow her.

The person in the car rolled down the window, revealing his face partially. "Hop on. I'll send you back."

"Mr. Wilton?" Jean was stunned for a moment. She could not think of any reason why they would suddenly become close.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"You are a designer under MON &

Co., and you are injured. It is my responsibility to make sure you are fine." Then he tapped on the steering wheel and urged, "Quick, get in. There's a road camera in front, and cars are prohibited from stopping along this road."Contents belong

Jean hesitated for a moment before pulling open the door and getting in.

Then, the car traveled away from the junction.A few MON & Co. staff O

om watched the car leave and began discussing amongst themselves. "Did Mr. Wilton just personally offer to send Jean home?"

"Goodness, I've been in this company for so long, but I've never seen Mr. Wilton being so nice to anyone!"

"This afternoon, Jean was in a room with Mr. Royden..."

Zoe could not help but frown as she listened to them. Then, she put on her earphone and walked to the bus stop.

On the home screen of her phone was a photo of her with a man. The man only revealed half of his face, and the photo captured them in an intimate pose.

If someone saw this, they would say the man in the photo looked similar to Sky.

Meanwhile, in the car, Jean did not speak. She was trying to figure out why Sky offered to send her home.

"You don't have to be nervous. I don't bite." Sky suddenly chuckled and offered her a pack of chewing gum.

"It's fine. Thank you." Jean refused it.

That seemed to make Sky unhappy.

He tossed the gum to the side, causing it to hit the car interior loudly.

Jean was stunned. I only refused the chewing gum. Why is he angry?

What happened next was even more shocking as Sky asked, "Two years ago, when we were having dinner at Mr. Turner's house, I recall you were the last person to leave."
