Chapter 544

The two men looked at each other, and only then did they realize Jean saw through their facade.

Edgar walked over a few steps, “Susan told you?”

Jean blinked, “I threatened Susan. Don’t blame her.”

The man held her fingers, “I didn’t intend to hide it from you.” “I understand that you are worried about us.”

She was referring to her and the child.

While beaming, Jean withdrew her hand, “But keep in mind that I’m not delicate. The more information you withhold from me, the more I’ll want to know, and the sooner I need to figure it out on my own. Why not tell me right away?”

Nathan was thrown into an awkward third-wheel situation.

He coughed for attention, “This is too much public display affection for my liking. I’ll leave you two some room.”

“About that lawyer, I’ll handle it,” Nathan said as he left.

Lawyer?

It appears that things are going bad to worse. Again.

Edbert genuinely wanted Edgar to experience some consequences, exactly as Jean had expected.

“Let’s chat,” she spoke softly, her fingertips grazing the back of his hand.

Edgar’s eyes somewhat darkened.
