Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 273 The Worst of Them All

Her voice trembled as she spoke. Though she was on the verge of tears, she tried to hold it in.

She wanted to protect the last shred of her pride. At the very least, she did not want to walk out of the room with tears in her eyes.

Edgar looked even more apologetic after hearing that, but he suppressed his emotions. “I wanted to protect your–”

“My what?” She looked at him with a sarcastic smile. “My reputation?”

He brought me into the room publicly and forced me to stay here for so long. Even if nothing happened between us, no one would believe that.

She let out a cold snort. “You’d better prepare some money to shut my mouth. Otherwise, brace yourself for the news tomorrow – everyone will know how you humiliated me today.”

His eyes immediately dimmed upon hearing that.

“By the way, you asked me about Jensen just now – why would I be involved in a rumor with him? Of course, it’s because his father treats me very well. On top of that, they are influential and rich, and Jensen helps me out whenever I need.”

“Jean!” Edgar clenched his fists tightly, on the brink of losing his temper.

Though he was angry right now, Jean did not feel as though she had won.

With disdain in her eyes, she added, “Also, I think you need to hear this – out of all the men I’ve slept with, you are the worst.”

With that, she threw his jacket on the ground and stomped on it furiously with her high heels.

“If you don’t want to give me the money to shut me up, fine! I dare you to wear this jacket in public later!”

Her firm refusal to back down left an indelible impression on him.

He slammed his hand on the tea table, breaking the porcelain tea set.

The light reflected from the shattered pieces resembled their ambiguous relationship.

She knew that he would lose his temper, but she did not expect him to leave and lock her in the room.

When silence fell in the room, tears finally streamed down her cheeks until they fell on the bruise on her collarbone.
