Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 412 You're Negotiating a Marriage Alliance

Ben gasped. If that is the case, there will be serious trouble. “Jean, I’ll send you back first. I need to rush home.”

“No need. You can let me off in front. I need to prepare something. Next week, I’ll participate in a fashion design competition organized by Kalel’s studio. I might have to turn off my phone for one week, so let’s talk afterward if there is anything.”

Jean put down the document. She understood why Ben told her this. He did not want her to remain unaware and be the last to find out about it.

Jean stood by the road, waving Ben goodbye. Ben was relieved to see that she was unaffected by the information. He responded with a relaxed pose and stepped on the accelerator, speeding out of her sight.

Jean took out the name card Sherry gave her that night and looked at the numbers before dialing them.

Half an hour later, Sherry walked to Jean in a pink suit and wearing light makeup. “I’ve been tremendously busy these days and couldn’t contact you. Luckily, you called me today, and I got to leave a video conference.”

She seemed so friendly that Jean could not help but feel guilty.

“Am I disrupting your work? It’s nothing much. I didn’t have anyone to go shopping with me, so I thought of you,” Jean said.

“No, I’ve been looking for an excuse to skip work. Where do you want to go?”

The two continued to chat and entered a mall side by side.

They chatted about many things for the whole afternoon. They talked about their lives and work, but no one mentioned Edgar.

All this while, Jean secretly observed Sherry but could not find anything wrong with her. She seemed kind and sincere. Jean could not find any flaw in her; she was perfect.

In the end, Sherry brought up the question.

“Jean, have you resolved the matter with your sister?”

They had talked about the matter that night.

Jean shook her head and answered flatly, “No, I don’t plan to resolve it. She is free to walk her path, and I’m powerless to stop her.”

“True. Even sisters have unresolvable issues.” Sherry seemed to recall something sad. Her eyes flickered with regret.

However, that was only for a moment. She then smiled and said, “Let’s meet another time.”

“Wait, was there something else you wanted to tell me that night?” Jean asked.
