Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 383 Concerned About Her Secret

The waiter answered with a smile, “I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t notice where they have gone to.” Edgar’s expression darkened. He turned around and was about to head to the private rooms when Nathan stopped him. “What are you going to do if you find them? If you cause a scene, it will be humiliating for everyone.”

Edgar’s expression turned hostile. Nathan pulled Edgar with all his strength and dragged him out of the nightclub. Meanwhile, Ben and Jean stood beside the second-floor staircase and watched Edgar being pulled away.

Ben said, “He still doesn’t trust you.” If Edgar truly loved her, he would not have followed her here. He was busy working in the study room when she left. Yet, he suddenly appeared and nearly started a fight.

Jean’s eyes flickered with resignation. When she decided to save everything, she expected it would not be easy to trick Edgar. His cautiousness and vigilance were his weapons.

“Jean, please stop while you still have the chance.” Ben was worried for her. If everything is exposed, what will Edgar do to Jean? That man is arrogant and conceited. He would never accept any deception or betrayal.

The music began again, thrumming in one’s ears and stirring one’s heartbeat. Jean’s lips slowly curved into a smile. “I only wish to pay him back for all he had done to me.”

Edgar frowned and watched her turn around and walk backstage. “I want to see Sam’s new lover.” Since she could not control Edbert, she needed to find her escape. Ben stood still and sighed. “You still can’t let him go.”

Jean sneaked into the dressing room and soon found Carly Harlem, the lead dancer, who was seeing Sam. She was curling her hair and smoking a cigarette as she flirted with someone on the phone.

She noticed Jean walking toward her and watched her closely. Carly soon looked to the other side. “All right then, I’ll go find you later.”

Then, she put down her phone and looked at Jean. “Looking for someone? The men’s changing room is that side.” It was not uncommon for a wealthy woman to come here searching for a male companion. Carly was long used to it.

Jean did not move but said calmly, “I’m here to see you.” Carly was stunned and stood leaning against the wall. Her smile became more apparent as she said, “Stop playing around. I’m not…”

“Sam has been pursuing you recently, right?” Jean’s words caused Carly’s face to turn pale. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Carly was about to close the door on Jean, but Jean stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, dragging her away. “I have a business offer that you would be interested in.”

“Oh, a business offer? I’m expensive. I don’t think you can afford me.”
