Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 317 Precaution

After leaving court, Jean took a cab back to Eyer Residence. She ignored the paint that was splattered all over her door. She locked the door and stayed in her room alone.

Edgar questioning her was not what she had anticipated. She thought that everything she did was airtight, but she had never thought about how these plans were just little tricks to him.

Jean was nervous. What if Edgar investigated and found out about Mr. Jevin and the actual reason for that matter? What should she do? Just as she was thinking about all this, Ben arrived.

“Jeannie, why did you lock the door?” Ben asked with wrinkled brows as he heard the sounds of the door being unlocked. “It’s safer this way,” Jean said as the corners of her lips twitched.

Ben sighed in silence. “What’s up?” Jean casually asked as they walked into the house. “I got you something to eat. Here’s some food from Le Mirage.” A faint aroma wafted out from a big bag in Ben’s hands.

Jean’s eyes flashed, and there was a knowing smile on her face. “You know me so well! I just happened to be hungry!” Ben played along and responded. He couldn’t say that he wasn’t the one who really understood her. It was that man who was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Jean dug into the food, and Ben kept her company as he sat across from her. When he saw that she was almost done eating, he said slowly, “I’ve asked a few lawyer friends, and they said that your case can’t be delayed any longer. It must come to an end as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome.”

Jean put her utensils down. She was also worried about it. “But Royden Group is working too slowly. Until now, Andy hasn’t been officially sued. I’m afraid that he will make a move against Gigi and the child once he frees himself.”

People like Andy thought highly of himself, and he resented Edgar. If he broke free from the lawsuit, he would view everyone as his enemy. Ben’s brows tightened.

“Jeannie, you keep saying that you want to work hard and survive so that Eyer Group can make a comeback. But look at you now. You’re going all out for her, but has she ever cared about your well-being?”

The pitch of his voice suddenly rose.

Jean froze and lowered her head.

“I know that since you suddenly found your biological sister, you want to treat her well and make it up to her, but you… should also think about the people who care about you, don’t you think so?” Ben couldn’t bear to watch as she fell into the abyss and tormented herself.

He picked up his coat before getting up to leave.

After walking out from Eyer Residence, he slammed his fist against the steering wheel. He had lost control.
