Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 325 She Must Be Imprisoned

Unfortunately, Ben arrived a step too late. When he rushed to Eyer Residence, he realized Jean had never returned. Furthermore, the doors of Eyer Residence were tightly shut, and the place looked dilapidated.

Then, he called the assistant and found out Gigi’s lawyer applied to expedite the court case and requested that Jean be detained. Having a sister like Gigi was nothing but torture to Jean.

If Jean had not repeatedly asked Ben to keep the secret, he would have exposed everything to stop Jean’s suffering. It was a quiet night.

Jean sat alone in the single cell and looked at the narrow window with a bitter smile. Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside the door. “Jean Eyer, someone’s here to see you.”

She had not been sentenced to prison yet. For now, she was only being detained. She glanced at the night sky. Who would come here to see me at this hour?

“Mr. Edbert?” Jean saw some resemblance to Edgar in the face before her. But unlike Edgar, Edbert had a kindly smile. Jean watched him slowly take a seat and asked, “Why are you here?”

Edbert must have connections in this place. Otherwise, he would not be able to come here this late at night.

Furthermore, he was allowed to meet her alone without being watched by a guard.

It seemed he had taken care of everything. Jean could not help but feel a little anxious about his appearance.

“I’ve told you before. You were my niece-in-law. Even if you and Edgar are divorced, you are still family to me.”

Then, he placed a lunchbox on the table and pushed it to her.

“Please eat. You’ll be in court tomorrow. It will be tiring,” Edbert said with a deepening smile.

Jean did not move but looked at him and said softly, “If you have any matters, you can say them now. I’m not hungry, and I don’t have an appetite.”

Jean did not know what Edbert was planning.

However, she knew Edbert and Edgar would not do anything without a good reason. Thus, Edbert would never come here late at night to send her supper.

Jean’s expression was calm. She did not say anything else.

She knew the cardinal rule at the negotiating table was never to show impatience.

Meanwhile, Edbert kept observing her and gradually nodded. “You are indeed the most suited to be my niece-in-law. I viewed your marriage to Edgar favorably in the past. However, I didn’t realize Edgar wanted to seek revenge against your father.”
