Chapter 148

Chapter 148 Thankfully It Wasn’t Her

Jean Eyer reacted quickly and immediately questioned him. “The hospital has made preparations. You have no right to interfere. I’ve already said that if something really were to happen, those from the Ludwig family wouldn’t leave it at that.”

She didn’t understand why. There was no animosity between Edgar Royden and Ben Ludwig. Edgar Royden would be insane if he wanted to push someone to hell all because of her. A murderous, ruthless, insane person.

The man stepped on the gas. He turned his head sideways, and there was an unbelievable coldness in his eyes. “You keep defending him now, but the Ludwig family only treats you as a servant. With your current status, you couldn’t even get into the Ludwig family if you were on your knees.”

“Yes, I’m trash who wants to cling to the Ludwig family. Can’t I do that? Gigi Reece clung to you, and you had a shotgun marriage. You have no right to speak that way about me.” Jean Eyer retorted furiously.

She looked at the rearview mirror and ensured that there were no cars behind before opening the car door.

“Someone like me can’t afford to sit in Mr. Royden’s car. Go drag your Gigi Reece here instead.” Jean Eyer forcefully slammed the car door shut with a bang.

The man’s eyes sank. He shouldn’t have taken pity on that woman at all. He stepped on the accelerator with one foot and sped off without hesitation.

He just hoped that Jean Eyer would have some self-respect. Even if the Ludwig family acknowledged her now, it was because Ben Ludwig was currently unwell. Once Ben Ludwig recovered, they wouldn’t

care about Jean Eyer’s wellbeing at all.

Edgar Royden gripped the steering wheel angrily. Did she have to cling to Ben Ludwig?

The pressure of his foot on the accelerator increased.

How could she get home when there wasn’t a taxi in sight.

He turned on the radio disinterestedly. The announcer’s voice could be heard saying, “According to reports from listeners, there has been an accident on Pearl Highway. The victim is a woman in her 20s, wearing a grey overcoat…”

His eyes darkened abruptly, and he spun the steering wheel to turn back.
