Chapter 379 A Voiceless Scream

Jean immediately took out her phone and looked closely at the photos Gigi had sent to show off. None of the photos gave a clear view of the man’s face. It was also challenging to see the items on the table.

It seemed Gigi only wanted Jean to know she was with a man. On closer observation, that man might not be Edgar. Jean looked at her phone screen closely. She did not notice someone approaching her from behind.

“Ah!” Jean suddenly found herself being pulled from behind by a tall man with sunglasses. His voice was low and coarse. “Ms. Eyer, Mr. Royden would like to see you.” Mr. Royden?

Before Jean could react, the man dragged her through the back door and to the car. She kept finding herself being forced to go somewhere today. Before she could fight back, she saw Edbert seated in the car, looking at her coldly.

It was Jean’s first time seeing such an expression on his face. From what she could recall, Edbert had always appeared friendly.

However, ever since he revealed his stance to Jean, she felt goosebumps whenever she saw him. It was inconceivable how someone could hide their true desires so well. Unlike Andy, who showed his deviousness all over his face, Edbert was even scarier.

He could smile kindly and stab someone in the back anytime.

Although Jean was vigilant about him, her expression remained calm. “I didn’t expect you to do things like Andy.”

Edbert looked at her expression closely. A smile suddenly appeared on his stern face. “You are the cleverest lady I’ve ever met. No wonder Edgar can never forget you all these years.”

Jean looked out of the window and replied indifferently, “You’re mistaken. Our marriage only lasted a few years.”

Edbert’s smile became even more apparent.

“No, no. He has been looking for you since you saved him at the resort. I believe it had been more than ten years.” Edbert kept observing Jean as he spoke.

Jean frowned and carefully hid her emotions.

“What do you mean?”

“I was the one who arranged for Gigi to impersonate you and approach Edgar. Back then, I needed Sam’s company to do something for me. Moreover, Edgar was meticulous in everything he did and never left behind any weaknesses. It was difficult to deduce what he was thinking.”
