Chapter 387 Do as You Please

Jean frowned. Her wrist was painful from his grip. However, she understood why he was angry. Thus, she looked down and mumbled, “I’ve made it clear to her that from now on, she and I will be strangers. I… I don’t want to make things worse.”

It did not mean Jean relented. After all, Gigi reached her present state through her own choices. Edgar looked at her for a while and suddenly sneered.

“You still haven’t answered my previous question.” Jean fell silent and immediately avoided meeting his gaze. She tried to escape from between his arms. However, he would never let her run away.

He chased after her and pressed her onto the bed. Their breathing grew heavier in close proximity, and Edgar could no longer hide the emotions in his eyes.

“Jean, I want a chance for us to begin again, but I hate being lied to the most. Do you understand what I mean?”

Jean turned her face to the side. She felt a sudden pain on her chin as Edgar forced her to face him.

He kissed her hard and ground his lips against hers. He only gradually let go when he tasted a hint of blood.

Then, he said coldly, “You are not allowed to go anywhere until I finish investigating.”

Jean’s heart sank slowly as she watched the door close.

Edgar kept his word and did not allow Jean to leave the house. As soon as she reached the door, Edgar’s staff would stop her.

“Ms. Eyer, please cooperate.”

“You can’t leave without Mr. Royden’s permission.”

Jean gritted her teeth. Her lashes trembled in her fury. “This is illegal house arrest. I have the right to sue him.”

However, it was pointless telling them this. Furthermore, Susan never came to work. It was likely an extra measure to prevent her escape. The maid that came to take care of Jean was unfamiliar to her.

She kept a neutral expression no matter what Jean said.
