Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 147 Ungrateful

“I didn’t!” She immediately shut the door. “Stop saying nonsense! It’s considered rightful defense.” She looked out of the door subconsciously. “Ask your bodyguards to leave soon. Otherwise, we might alert the others.

Could her elegance and gentleness be just a pretense? Right now, she is rude and brusque, and she would never concede defeat in an argument. His gaze was fixated on her. I’ve never truly understood what kind of a woman my ex-wife is.

A tinge of regret slowly stemmed in his mind. Facing his appraisal that looked slightly different from usual, Jean frowned and walked to Zoe irately to check on the latter.

“What are you doing?” Ahead of her, Edgar quickly stopped her. “Before making sure what she drank, you must not touch her.” She froze for a moment before asking, “Do you care about me now?”

With a frown on his face, he was stunned by her question.

“No matter what intentions you have, please let me go and go back where you came from. I don’t need any care from someone like you.” She shrugged him off and tapped on an artery on Zoe’s neck. Luckily she’s still breathing evenly. Even though her pulse is quite weak, it has not disappeared. The blush on her face has already faded. It seems like the drug in the champagne will only cause fainting.

She picked up the pieces of the bottle and took a breath. Is it because the dosage is not high?

Then, she looked around the room the second time and found a few recording pens that were switched off, and there were no hidden cameras in the room. She paced around. What on earth does she plan to do with me after giving me that drug?

While she was thinking, she was vaguely aware that Edgar’s bodyguards had left. When she turned around, she saw that he was still on the couch. “Why are you still here?”

He’s been everywhere lately. No matter where I go, I’m always bound to meet him, and it’s difficult to get rid of him. Crossing his leg, he hummed in agreement. “I’m worried that you might destroy the evidence.”

“Nonsense!” Pointing at the unconscious Zoe on the ground, she explained, “She’s only faint. She’s perfectly fine. ”

“Who knows what you would do to her if I’m not here?” he replied indifferently. There was no hint of warmth in his tone as he smirked. “Don’t slander me, Edgar.” She gritted her teeth, feeling even more annoyed at him.

Seeing that she was going to be furious for real, he said slowly, “I’ll be here in case anything happens. Just ignore me and do what you want to do.”
