Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 201 Unworthy

Jean had nowhere to run as the reporters surrounded her and pointed their microphones at her face. She did not know what to say. “I…”

At that moment, Ben stepped forward with a rare serious expression on his usually easygoing and handsome face. He grabbed the microphones and said. “Jean is not part of the racing team. Shouldn’t you all be interviewing me?”

The reporters came to a realization upon hearing him. Then, one of them asked, “What is your relationship with her now? I believe she rejected your proposal on the podium during prize-giving.”

Mr. Coleman’s expression darkened. He quietly recorded the reporter’s face in his memory. Ben’s gaze had also darkened. Sonny and the others frowned beside him. What if Ben loses his temper and fights with the reporter? Wouldn’t that make things worse?

However, they did not have a chance to stop him. Jean quietly tugged the shirt on Ben’s back. She wanted to tell him to ignore the reporter’s questions. Unexpectedly, Ben said, “She rejected me previously. It is me who refuses to give up and keep clinging to her.”

His words flamed the reporters’ curiosity. “Do you mean you are pursuing her one-sidedly?”

“Yes.” “Was she the reason you retired from racing and went into business?”

“Yes.” Jean looked at Ben’s face from the side. His words sounded unreal to her ears. “I don’t have any special achievements, so it is understandable that she didn’t choose me. After she rejected me, I considered it for a long time. I will improve myself and gain enough power to protect her so that no one can bully her again.”

Although this speech was not as passionate as what he said on the podium, it was still moving. As he spoke, he seemed to be glowing with gentle light.

Even Jean’s frozen heart thawed slightly and began to feel a little warmth.

She realized Ben had changed.

“If Jean agrees to be your girlfriend, will you marry her in the future?”

In actuality, the reporter’s question had a deeper meaning. The Ludwig family is one of the wealthy families in this region. Do they not mind Jean’s past? Do they not care she was married before and had been to prison?

Everyone understood what the reporter’s question implied.

Ben’s expression turned cold. He answered decisively, “Of course.”

As the reporters were about to ask more questions, Ben pushed the microphone away. “I have finished answering your questions. Please leave.”
