Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 442

Jean glanced at the caller ID and instinctively furrowed before answering the call.

Sherry asked Jean with feigned worry and care, "Jean, are you alright? I heard that the police have been looking for you and Gigi.Are you all okay?"

"I don't know.She's still missing." Jean said with a deadpan voice as she peered out of the window.

The sun was exceptionally glaring today.

"How come? Did you not get on that boat?" Sherry pried.

Jean sneered in her heart and said impassively, "I did.The boat almost foundered from hitting the rocks.I was fortunate enough to be saved by a kind-hearted person; else, I would've died."

Sherry clenched her fists as Jean recounted her near- fatal accident.She knew the plan must have flopped; otherwise, it would be impossible for Jean to be still alive.Her eyes turned cold, and she professed subtly, "Thank God you're fine.Otherwise, I'll live the rest of my life in condemnation"

She picked up the invitation card from the table and said slowly, "Are you free tonight? My dad will hold a private reception for Edgar and me.I hope you will come.I have also invited Mr.Mason."

Her motive was too obvious to overlook.

Jean had just survived a near-fatal accident and had no interest in social events.

"You should know that I've been in the news lately...Thank God the incident has been resolved.I hope you will come to this reception.I have a lot of things to tell you in person."

They were not close friends, to begin with.Jean balled her fists.

What else can be done to resolve this matter? Nothing else can be done to restore Sherry and Pinnacle Group's reputation except with Edgar's help.

They couldn't afford to lose him as an ally.Her intention for calling Jean was to show off.

Sherry was unequivocally vicious to Jean, who had just been through a series of ordeals.
