Edgar And His Destined Wife Chapter 444

On the spur of the moment, Hugo’s expression reminded her of a person.
Just as Jean was caught in a daze, she heard a babel of voice from other guests.
“Andy Shaw?”
“The previous vice president of Royden Group? Why is he here? Did the Summer family invite him too?”
“Can’t be.His current start-up hasn’t been doing well.It’s unlikely that Pinnacle Group would lock horns with Edgar for him.”
“Perhaps this is an antic to browbeat Edgar to behave as their son-in-law”
Unwarranted attention and discussions from the guests perturbed Edgar.He was chatting with Bernard and Venus.
But when he heard those words, immediately, he put on a sullen face.
Mrs.Summer wasn’t nimble-witted in business, but she had an inkling that something terrible was about to happen.
She smiled and tried to smooth things out, “Maybe he’s lost.I’ll go and talk to the event manager now”
Who let Andy into the hotel? Didn’t they know Andy and Edgar have beef with each other? It must be a misunderstanding! But Edgar was still seething, no matter how Bernard and Venus tried to explain or mitigate the hiccup.
Sherry, who was sitting next to Edgar, twisted and pulled her fingers anxiously.
“Definitely not my parents who invited him.”
Sherry dug her nails into her palm, “Maybe, it’s Jean…”
This would be an opportunity to inflame Edgar’s contempt against Jean even if it weren’t Jean’s deed that Andy showed up at their reception.
But before she could finish speaking, Andy’s bodyguard smashed a wine bottle on the countertop, triggering a commotion and chaos among the guests.
“What’s going on?!”
Bernard was alarmed, “Why aren’t the security guards doing anything?”
Today was Summer family’s first public appearance since Pinnacle Group had resumed in the domestic stock market.
Their guests were all influential and prestigious people in the city.
How dare anyone crashes their party?! When she saw that Andy’s bodyguard created the mayhem, Venus scrunched her face in anger.

“I’ve asked around just now.Nobody invited him to the reception.”
Sherry immediately said, “Impossible.
All our guests must show their invitation card at the entrance in order to be let in.
Andy wouldn’t be able to come in unless someone had deliberately let him in”
As soon as Sherry finished speaking, Jean appeared with a smile on her face, “Ms.Summer was right.It must be the organizer who sneaked him in; otherwise, Andy wouldn’t be able to come in!”
“What do you mean? Are you insinuating that the Summer family invited him even after knowing he’s a threat to Royden Group? Why would we do that?” Venus rebuked.
Sherry saw Jean standing in front of her looking well and unscathed.She was immediately inundated by jealousy.
“Stop arguing with her, Mommy.The most important thing now is to resolve this issue.”
Sherry pressed her lips into a line and looked at Edgar, “I will prove that Summer family has nothing to do with him.”
Before Edgar could say anything, Sherry already strode down the steps and walked up to Andy.The guests immediately dispersed to make room for them.
“Yo, Ms.Summer”
Andy beamed an indignant smirk.
Then, he looked in the direction of Edgar and yelled, “Why are you hiding behind a woman, Edgar? Why won’t you face me like a man?! Don’t you have balls?!”
Edgar’s eyes were cold, but he didn’t do anything.
Meanwhile, Andy beckoned.His bodyguards immediately surrounded Sherry ina circle.
“Ms.Summer, I’m not looking for you.Please get out of the way”
At this time, some gues:s mumbled, “Looks like Sherry is really into Edgar.She didn’t hesitate to prove her innocence even in this situation.”
That was Sherry’s intention.
She elevated her chin and ordered, “You are neither a friend of Summer family nor welcomed here.Please leave right away.”
Standing next to Jean, Hugo took a side glance at her and uttered lowly, “Perhaps, it’s time for Plan B”
“No hurry.We should wait and see.” Jean replied softly.
The two of them had a bond of understanding between them.
Edgar had been staring at Jean with his cold eyes.He walked up and said to her, “This must be your work.”
He knew it was Jean’s idea.
Jean appeared as if she had just noticed him.She turned around and gave him an indifferent smile, “Not me”
She denied.
It was her words against his.
Nobody can say or do anything to her.
Not that Andy would tell them the truth, nor would anyone believe his words.
It was apparent that Jean deliberately used this occasion to square up to Edgar.
Edgar paused.
Then, he decided to chase Jean out of the reception.
“She is my partner, Mr.Royden.”
Before Edgar could do anything, Hugo intervened and stopped him.
The two men stared at each other spitefully.
“I have something to tell her.There’s no reason for Mr.Mason to stop me.”
Edgar hinted to Hugo not to poke his nose in his business.
Hugo creased his forehead.
