Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 224 Aimed

The gangster spat the cigarette butt onto the ground and blurted, “Stop asking useless questions. Of course, we’re going after her! Once we settle this woman, we’ll get a lucrative reward from Mr. Shaw.”

“Quickly, get into the car.” The goons split into two cars and tailed Ben’s car. On the other hand, Ben did not notice he was being tailed all the way back to Ludwig Residence.

“Hi, Mr. Ludwig, Ms. Eyer.” Mr. Coleman greeted the two at the door. It was the first time Jean was being held in such high regard since the Eyer family went bankrupt. She followed Ben quietly and entered Ludwig Residence, while all the servants treated her in a servile manner.

“Please take a seat, Ms. Eyer.” Mr. Coleman’s attitude was completely different from before. “Hey Jean, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” Farra walked out with a smile while a few rich women followed her.

When they saw that the visitor was Jean, there was a subtle change in their expressions. “Mrs. Ludwig, is she the honorable guest you mentioned?”

“Yeah. Do you have any problem with that, Mrs. Larry?” Farra wore a solemn expression, and grasped Jean’s hand. “My son is fond of this woman, and she’s going to be our daughter-in-law sooner or later. So, please stop gossiping about her in front of me. I’m not interested to hear it.”

“I-I see. Congratulations in advance then, Mr. Ludwig. We still have other matters to attend to. We shall take our leave first.”

The ladies exchanged glances and left with rueful smiles as they did not dare to offend Farra.

Meanwhile, Farra explained to Jean, “Please don’t bother with them. They are just friends I play cards with. They only judge you from the gossip they heard from the outside, but they don’t know your true personality.”

Jean squeezed a smile and mumbled, “Don’t worry.”

If she was indeed disturbed by others’ opinions toward her, she would have suffered from depression long ago.

Compared to that, she was more concerned about Farra and the Ludwigs’ attitude toward her – they seemed to be showing excessive enthusiasm.

Is this an illusion?

“Ben, your father must still be working in the study room. Go and call him for dinner.” Carrying herself as a poised, wealthy mistress, she turned around and ordered the servants, “Go help out in the kitchen.”

“Yes, Madam.”
