Chapter 95 The Comparison

But nobody could explain why Edgar did not do it. They were divorced but would always show up in the public as a pair – although they did not show up as a couple.

That was also why the other guests started whispering to each other, discussing about them. “I think Jean looks better with Edgar, there’s something about Gigi that tells me she isn’t the one. I mean she doesn’t look anywhere as good as Jean, and don’t get me started on their temperament.”

“Sigh, if it weren’t for the downfall of the Eyers, they would’ve been perfect for each other.”

“Why did Gigi talk about the Eyers just now? You think she’d deliberately mentioned it because she feels insecure about herself? I honestly am dumbfounded that Mr. Royden chose to date her.”

“I guess she is really, really good at gaslighting…”

Everyone stared at Gigi burying herself into Edgar’s embrace as if she had no bones.

“Edgar, that’s not what I meant, don’t listen to her.”

Edgar threw his sharp gaze at her, sending a chill down her spine.

It only took one look to shut Gigi’s mouth, and she bit her lips dejectedly.

Jean chuckled, then turned to Mr. Edwards, who was talking to Edgar earlier about work. “I suppose I’m in no place to interfere with your businesses. But I have something to say about the cargo ships docked at the wharf.” She uttered indifferently.

She had made a call to Royden Group, impersonating a news reporter, to request for an interview with Edgar – and to no surprise, she was refused.

But through a series of coaxing and investigation, she had finally found some crucial information.

Andy Shaw had approved a batch of shipment from overseas. While the source of the supply and logistics were legitimate, there were suspicions with the goods.

Edgar might not have noticed it yet.

Otherwise, he would never bring this up openly.
