Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 321 A Marriage Only in Name

After asking the question, Winnie secretly pressed record. For the sake of self-preservation, she needed to make sure that every step she took was safe.

Jean’s response sounded clear from the phone. “It’s a little something to make him feel refreshed.” Jean hung up immediately after that. Winnie gripped the phone and snorted indignantly. “You little liar! How dare you play tricks with me?”

Both parties knew this seemingly peaceful collaboration would be short-lived. After all, each was using the other to her advantage. Thus, the partnership could collapse at any moment. At this moment, Jean was sitting on the couch watching the latest news.

The screen showed Edgar and Gigi walking together. He had deliberately gone to the police station to pick up Gigi and announced to the public that there would be a massive banquet at Grand Royale in three days.

Jean bit the corner of her lip but did not show any other reaction. “Mr. Royden, will there be another wedding?” “Mr. Royden, I heard you will send your child overseas for treatment. Is that true?”

Jean looked up slightly and frowned. Gigi can’t have been that stupid, right?

Gigi’s face appeared on the screen. She deliberately let out a few tears and said sadly, “My baby has been unwell since birth and has a rare blood disease. Thus, we need to send the baby overseas for treatment. I don’t want to part with my child, but…”

She did not finish her sentence but flung herself into Edgar’s embrace and sobbed.

The atmosphere turned somber. The reporters thought she was sad about her baby.

“This is insane.”

Jean turned off the TV straight away.

What Gigi did would trigger Andy.

The matter concerning the theft of some confidential documents had just died down. But Gigi had already announced she would send her child away. It showed she felt her child was in the way of her being with Edgar. Thus, as the child’s father, there was no way Andy would bear such indignity.

Jean recalled what Sam and Andy said during the press conference. She could not help but feel Gigi was digging her own grave.

But what could Jean do?

She had exhausted all her effort to bring things to this point. Furthermore, Edgar was on the verge of discovering her plan.
