Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 64 State a Price

“But–” Sally wanted to continue, but Jean suddenly took her jacket off, revealing a blood-stained T-shirt underneath. She looked as though someone had strangled her. “What Ally said was true after all!” she gasped in shock as she stumbled a few steps backward.

She was so startled that she almost lost control of herself. Initially, she thought that Ally was just spreading rumors about Jean, so she came here to warn Jean, in repayment of a favor.

Nonetheless, Jean walked to the washroom nonchalantly to wash her hands. After Sally had finally calmed down, she wiped her hands and said, “How much strength do I need to pull an adult man from the van and destroy the evidence?”

Sally tried to think logically. “B-But, the blood on your shirt!” “It was an accident, and that person would never sue me.” She smiled and thanked Sally. “Next time don’t come running to report such news to me. You might be implicated.”

Sally met her gaze and nodded slowly. At this moment, there were knocks on the door. Jean asked her to hide in the washroom so that others would not get the impression that they were close. If that was the case, Sally might be involved when they plan to take revenge on Jean.

However, she froze after opening the door – it was Ben. “Why are you–”

“Why didn’t you pick up my calls?” Fury flashed in his eyes as he appraised her from head to toe. After making sure that she was fine, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he spotted the blood stains on her sleeves. “What’s wrong?”

He pulled her wrist closer and barged into the room. After taking a closer look and making sure that it was not her blood, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“It’s just a minor accident. I can handle it myself,” Jean explained before asking Sally to come out.

“Aren’t you Ally’s boyfriend?” she blurted out. As soon as she finished her question, she seemed to realize something and ran out of the room, covering her mouth as she went.

Seeing her running away, Jean closed the door with a wry smile.

However, Ben instantly stood up. “My relationship with Ally is not what you imagined. It’s just that my family arranged for me to meet her,” he explained seriously, worrying that Jean would not believe his words. Then, he passed his phone to her to show his chat history with Mr. Coleman and Ally.

Regardless, Jean pushed his phone away. “That is none of my business.”

Ben’s face fell when he heard her simple sentence.

Suddenly, what he had been wanting to say got stuck in his throat, and he no longer had the courage to tell her about it.
