Chapter 10 Do Me a Favor

It was eight o’clock in the evening. Sitting casually in the Michelin restaurant, Gigi was cutting into her rib-eye sirloin as she said, “Edgar, I ran into Jean and her boyfriend.”

Edgar placed down the knife and fork and raised his eyes apathetically, “Boyfriend?”

Gigi was not intimidated by his sudden change of attitude, as she replied softly, “Yeah, I’ve looked into it, his name is Ben Ludwig, and he is from a rich family. I mean it shouldn’t really bother me, but I can’t bear with it anymore. After what the Eyers did to you, Jean doesn’t deserve to live a happy life.”
