Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 178 A Scheme Within a Scheme

It went without saying that Director Lewis was interested. However, he was not interested in the poker game but Jean. Thus, Gigi gave him the address and went out to call Andy. “Help me with something tonight.”

…

Jean headed straight to a cyber café after she left. She edited the recording and sent them to the paparazzi. However, the paparazzi lost interest when they saw the recordings concerned Gigi.

“She is not popular in the entertainment circle. It won’t cause much stir even if I publish this.” After all, it was common for an actress to dine with a director.

“What if there is something else?” Jean arched an eyebrow and quickly replied, “I will give you explosive news material with pictures latest by tonight.”

Then, Jean lingered around the area for the whole afternoon. She waited for Gigi to make her move. Suddenly, a black car parked before her, prompting her to become alert.

Soon, the door opened, and a lean and tall man stepped out. Despite the sunglasses covering his eyes, Jean saw that his face seemed familiar. Jean continued to observe closely but did not say anything.

On the other hand, the man smiled and offered his hand. “Ms. Eyer, I’m Andy Shaw from Royden Group. I believe we have met before at a wedding.”

It was Jean and Edgar’s wedding. Jean raised her eyebrow. It’s him?

Gigi’s secret helper and lover turns out to be Edgar’s business partner! Jean controlled her emotions and shook Andy’s hand. “Are you here for a business matter?” Jean asked despite knowing the answer.

Andy narrowed his eyes and replied, “I’m here to see you, Ms. Eyer. I would like to discuss a potential business opportunity with you.”

“I’m now a nobody, so I don’t have any business to discuss. Mr. Shaw, you’re talking to the wrong person.”

Then, Jean pretended to leave.

However, Andy immediately blocked her way. “What if the business is to make Royden Group bankrupt?”

Jean paused her step and turned to him with an ambivalent expression.

He is one of the partners of Royden Group and owns considerable shares in the company. I don’t think he will ruin his fortune for Gigi’s sake.

Does this mean he said that only to attract my interest?

Jean appeared emotionless as she considered quickly.

No matter how I see it, Andy is not the kind of person who would give up his business for a woman, especially if that woman is pregnant with Edgar’s child. Unless Andy is a lovesick idiot.

“Ms. Eyer, if you are interested, we can find a quiet spot to discuss further.” Andy went to the car and opened the door for her.
