Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 290

Chapter 290 Fire

Gigi managed to convince Edgar to come with her to the interview. As long as she promised not to release the exposé.

“What is the point of this interview, then?” Gigi did not understand why he made her promise him this. “Edgar, I just want to share our good news with everyone. Is that so hard to ask?”

This would deter any women who had their eye on him, forcing Edgar to admit that they are exclusive, and securing her position as the future Mrs. Royden.

Just in case, Gigi made sure that the reporter would include Jean’s past scandals in the final exposé. The contrast would prove how in love Gigi and Edgar were with each other.

It would also help her career after she gave birth. Not once did she think that Edgar would go against her. “There’s no need for it. We’ll talk about it after you’ve given birth.”

He had ordered Miles to buy a piece of land in Gigi’s name overseas. No matter what happens to them in the future, she will be well taken care of.

It was a form of compensation in a way. Gigi refused to listen to him. “You can’t do this to me, Edgar. You…” Edgar did not budge and left no matter how she screamed and begged.

“Gigi, what do we do now?” Mona shook her head forlornly. “You had better get Edgar under control.” “I know. I can’t wait any longer.”

Gigi gritted her teeth and immediately told the reporter to change the headline for the exposé.

She then called Andy. “Edgar is keeping a woman in his home, but I’m unsure if it’s Jean. I need you to get rid of her tonight. I don’t care if you rape her or burn her to death. Just get rid of her.”

“Are you trying me use me to secure your position as his wife? Dream on,” Andy coldly replied.

Gigi bit her lip so hard that it turned white. “This will benefit the both of us. Both you and my son are in line to inherit the Royden Group. That should be enough reason for you to do it.”

This is what it meant to be called a Royden.

…

At dusk. Jean sat staring unseeingly out the window for a long time as if she was waiting for something. After cooking dinner, Susan came looking for her, “Madam, it’s dinner time.”

Jean shook her head and came to her senses. “I don’t feel like eating.”

She didn’t really have the stomach for food right now. Ben had texted her not too long ago, informing her that Edgar had drowned out news of the auction failure with news of Royden Group’s new technology in their soon-to-be-released smart product.

Jean didn’t feel satisfied even though she had forced Edgar to be on defense. She was reflecting on what she did do wrong.

“You didn’t eat much at lunch. Your body won’t be able to handle it if you continue on like this.” Susan sighed. Jean smiled wanly at her. Now that she’s become like this, who would even care?
