Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 280 Fear

Edgar immediately turned around and choked her. His eyes glowed red. “Why did you hurt her?” Melody’s head slammed into the wall behind her, and the sudden suffocation made her struggle instinctively. “Let go… Ed…”

However, he had no intentions of letting her go, for he was mad at her. When Miles arrived after he was done with some paperwork, he immediately stopped Edgar. “Mr. Royden, she seems to have something to tell you.”

They were in public after all, and Melody was a celebrity. If something happened to her, it would be a mess for both of them, though Edgar couldn’t care less.

Nevertheless, Miles was just working for Edgar. He could not simply interfere with his boss’ decision and actions. After warning Edgar, he lowered his head and took a step backward.

The veins on Edgar’s wrists bulged as he glared at Melody. At that moment, he suddenly let go of his clenched fingers around her neck, making her lose her balance and fall to the ground instantly, coughing violently.

Miles immediately heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that. Though Melody was about to be choked to death moments ago, she smiled coldly at Edgar when she lifted her head to look at him.

“You seem to be quite affectionate toward her now, as if you weren’t the one who caused the downfall of the Eyer family.” “Who are you working for?” he demanded harshly.

She hid her raw feelings before replying, “I did everything simply because I want to; no one is giving me instructions, so you don’t have to ask anyone to look into it. I have the antidote to her condition – it depends if you want to exchange terms with me.”

Upon hearing that, he suddenly laughed coldly. He crouched and bent his knees to lower himself to her height. Then, he grabbed her shoulders as he commanded oppressively, “Tell me.”

Following the instructions from her boss, Melody forced a smile and replied, “Transfer all your shares from Royden Group to my name.”

Disdain and contempt immediately appeared on his face when he heard that. “That’s all?”

“Yes. Once you do that, I will lessen her pain,” Melody spoke in a trembling voice because Edgar looked like a monster at that point – his eyes were simply too terrifying, making her fearful of meeting his gaze.

He chuckled coldly. “Ask your boss to talk to me directly. Oh, and I hate it the most when I’m threatened.” Especially when they threaten me with my most precious person.
