Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 188 Engagement?

Jean feigned ignorance and smiled. “Mr. Royden, I don’t quite understand what you mean. However, it seems we can no longer continue our negotiation. You should figure out how you can explain to her.”

While Edgar could easily destroy Jean whenever he wanted, Jean could use the Reece family to ruin his peace. Sam was shocked to hear Edgar had given a lucrative project to the Eyer Group. Thus, he sent Gigi to find out what had happened.

Although Jean may not be as astute as Edgar in business, she understood women much better than him. “Edgar, open the door!” Gigi continued shouting and almost slammed herself against the door.

However, Winnie gently pulled her away. “That’s enough. Lower your voice. There are many prominent people nearby.”

“So what? Who knows what tricks Jean had pulled this time to make Edgar give her such a large project? That shameless b*tch. I’ll…”

However, the door opened before Gigi could finish speaking.

Jean glanced at Gigi and said, “Ms. Reece, you should watch your mouth. You could be charged with defamation. Furthermore, you have ongoing court cases, so take it easy. Otherwise, who knows when the police would come knocking on your door again.”

Gigi’s expression turned livid. She was not as smart or eloquent as Jean. Thus, she had no choice but to watch Jean leave.

Then, she dashed into the meeting room. “Edgar, why must you do this? It’s bad enough that you returned that bankrupted company to her. Why must you also give her such a large project? Do you still have feelings for her?”

“Are you done speaking?” Edgar responded indifferently. He was unbothered by the Reece family’s threat. However, Gigi was pregnant with his child. It was annoying to have to keep hearing her complaining noisily before him.
