Chapter 243 Give and Take

The public display of intimacy confirmed the speculations about their relationship. Though Jean was still frowning, everyone had already witnessed that. No matter how much she tried to explain herself, it was futile. She would soon be known as the shameless woman who seduced Edgar, who already had a pregnant fiancée.

On top of that, this happened in front of Zenith. She closed her eyes in pain, hoping that the humiliating show would end soon. She could not stand another second of this.

Nevertheless, Edgar hugged her shoulders tightly, making her unable to leave. “You guys…” Zenith wanted to ask something, but he could not bring himself to do that. What would happen to her reputation if it’s formally announced?

On the other hand, Mrs. Knox looked at the couple happily. “You guys are young, after all. There’s always a chance to turn over a new leaf.”

Jean lowered her head as she clenched her fists, determined not to meet anyone’s eyes. “Jean, we are the guests today. Why don’t we give a toast to Mrs. Knox?”

With that, Edgar passed a wine glass to her using his free hand. He had a natural demeanor of a king. If a king were to be appointed in that city, he would take that position.

A long time ago, Jean was happy that she had such an attractive husband. Little did she know that he would be her nightmare. “Hmph?” He narrowed his eyes and asked in her ears, “Weren’t you drinking happily with Ben? Are you afraid now?”

Gritting her teeth, she took the wine glass from him, knowing that he wanted to humiliate her in public. When they stood together, they looked very compatible with each other.

However, anyone close to them would notice that Jean was not happy at all. Instead, she looked forced. “I can’t believe that she is able to get back together with Edgar after the divorce. How impressive.”

“She’s left with nothing now, yet she still wants to rebuild Eyer Group. If it weren’t for him, do you think she’ll be able to do that?”

The crowd started commenting on the situation, but Jean merely finished the wine in a gulp, suppressing the tears in her eyes.

She did not dare to look at Zenith at all. How many people have I hurt with this?

“I’m going to bring her to meet a few business partners, so please excuse us.” With that, he smiled and shot a meaningful glance at Zenith.
