Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 405 Sorry to Trouble You

Before Jean could say anything, Edna threw dozens of design drafts on the table. “There are so many good designers in the world. I have my eye on yours because you’re lucky. Furthermore, your design draft still needs to be tweaked and modified. It’s not perfect.”

She was gaslighting Jean so that Jean would think the design draft wasn’t worth anything. That way, La Laux could buy the draft at a low price. “Your current financial situation isn’t quite…”

“Ms. Jadot, thank you for helping me understand how deep the water is in the industry. My thoughts won’t change because of my circumstance. No one can use my design draft without my permission. Otherwise, you can wait to receive a lawyer’s letter.”

Jean was straight to the point.

She opened the door and left without hesitation.

Edna’s assistant, Molly, mumbled at the side, “Why are you being so pretentious? The earth can still revolve without you.”

But Edna’s expression grew sinister. “Shut up. What do you know? The boss has settled on the design draft. I have to get it.”

“But Jean seems so stubborn. I’m afraid it’s useless no matter how much money we offer her.” Molly’s voice grew softer as she sized up her boss’ expression.

“Everyone in the world has something that they care about. As long as we find her weak spot, she will have to comply.”

“Do you have an idea, Ms. Jadot?” Molly’s eyes lit up.

Edna’s gaze fell outside the full-length window. She smiled indifferently, “Of course.”

Jean walked out of La Laux angrily. When she calmed down, she was standing on the side of a busy road.

Gusts of cold wind made her sober.

She took out her cell phone and wanted to call Ben, but she thought of how busy he must be recently, so she decided not to trouble him with matters like this.

She was furious, but she had nowhere to vent.

Seeing that she wasn’t signed with any design company and had no reputation, La Laux was taking advantage of the matter with Gigi to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Although Jean had been vicious with her words, she knew better than anyone that if she went up against La Laux, she might lose in court even if she had a smoking gun.
