Chapter 75
Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life
Chapter 75 Traps
There was a serious accident in Yorktown that night. Monica, the creative director of MON & Co., got in a car accident. It was originally just a small accident, but the news won headlines because Monica was sitting in Yorktownâs real estate mogul, Carlâs car. Carl was over fifty years old, and his wife had just passed away two months ago.
When they reached the hospital, media reporters immediately flocked toward them. Jean didnât know about the news, and she was excluded by her colleagues.
By the time she got the news, she was already on the plane back to Yorktown. She sent a message to Monica, then turned off her phone. She had to recuperate and build up energy as she still had a lot of things to do.
But when she closed her eyes, her plans became clearer in her mind. Carl is Jonathanâs uncle. A new building to be completed next year by Royden Group was tendered for construction by Carlâs company. Now that Carl had gotten into an accident with his suspected mistress, the incident will definitely impact the reputation of Carlâs company.
After all, it was Edgarâs decision to cooperate with Carlâs company.
Jeanâs mouth tilted slightly. Her plans went smoother than she expected.
After the plane landed at the airport, Jean followed MON & Co.âs employees out. She ran into Edgar and Gigi, who was walking out from another passage.
Gigi was pleading with Edgar in a whining voice.
âEdgar, can you send me home? My dad is too busy, and he definitely wonât come and pick me up.â
Jean carried her bag and thought in her heart. Right! Your dad is going to be very busy today indeed.
Edgar seemed to be worrying about something.
He put down his phone and said softly, âThe driver will send you back.â
âI donât want the driver to send me home. I want you.â Gigi began to throw a tantrum. Edgar was extremely annoyed by her childish behavior.
Royden Group would always be his number one priority.
Jean had no interest in listening to their conversations, so she quickened her pace.
However, Edgar saw her and grabbed her luggage.
Jean stared at him and asked, âWhat do you want?â
âAre you the one who hacked Royden Groupâs host file?â
Jean was about to let the cat out of the bag when Edgar stared at her.
But she managed to remain calm and smiled, âWow, who is that awesome guy who did such a righteous and courageous movement? I should invite him to dinner. However, itâs definitely not me as I donât have the money to hire a hacker.â
Jean wasnât lying.
Royden Groupâs host file wasnât easy to hack into. Besides, who would dare to do that?
Jean had no money to pay for a hacker too.
âCan you let go of me now? Your fiancé is staring at me.â Jean sneered. âWe still have chances to meet anyway. See you at your wedding.â
She tossed Edgarâs hand in disgust and walked away.
Ally tagged along with Ben, so he came out late from the plane. When he saw Jean, he immediately chased after her. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Edgar frowned as he watched Ben and Jean walking out of the airport together.
âEdgar, what was she talking about? What wedding?â Gigiâs heart was beating fast. Jean and Edgar seemed to be getting closer!
Arenât they enemies?
Gigi bit her lips as she was really nervous.
Edgar looked at her and said softly, âI have been busy lately and had forgotten to tell you that I have already sent someone to prepare our wedding. It will be held this coming Friday.â
âIs that true?â Gigi was overjoyed.
But after a few seconds, she got angry again.
Why do I have to know about my wedding from Jeanâs mouth?
Suddenly, Jean saw a thin figure standing by the exit door.
She was wearing a hat and a mask, trying hard to cover her face up.
But Jean knew very well that she was Winnie.
She is trying really hard to please Gigi. It seems that Winnie is determined to stay with Sam for the rest of her life. However, all her efforts are useless.
Jean sneered.
She felt happy when she thought of the gifts she had prepared for the Reece family.
Ally, who was chasing after them, didnât seem to be that annoying anymore.
âJean, where are you going? Let me send you over.â Ben only had Jean in his eyes.
âIâm going to the hospital to see a friend. I donât think itâs appropriate for you to go.â Jean looked at her phone and saw Monicaâs messages.
It would be a little awkward if she brought Ben over.
âOkay, Iâll call you later. Iâll go home first.â Ben felt tired thinking about the several phone calls from his mother urging him to go back home.
Why does mom dislike Jean so much?
Jean waved for a taxi, âSir, please take me to Zurish Hospital.â
Ally wasnât happy that Ben watched the taxi until it disappeared down the road. She gritted her teeth, âBen, are you worried about how to explain to your mother the purpose of you coming here? You can tell her that youâre here to look for me.â
Ben frowned.
âI donât want to take advantage of you.â
âItâs okay, Iâm willing to. Donât worry, I wonât tell your mother.â Ally smiled gently.
Ben turned away and said coldly, âYou donât have to do that. We shall not meet again in the future. Just tell your parents that Iâm a terrible person and youâre not into me.â
After that, Ben left without Ally.
Ally held back her tears. âTerrible? Jean is even more terrible! She is a divorcee, and she had been in prison. Iâm so much better than her. Why do you still like her? â
Allyâs love for Ben turned into hate.
She wiped away her tears and called someone, âCome and pick me up.â
Ally instructed.
Iâm the daughter of the Sans family. Ben shouldnât choose an ordinary woman like Jean. Itâll be easy to send a convicted person to prison again.

Meanwhile, in the airportâ¦
Winnie rushed toward Gigi when she saw her.
Gigi was shocked. She thought someone was trying to attack her.
She never thought that no one knew her and no one would actually care about her.
âItâs me, Gigi. Itâs me!â After Jean left, Winnie took off her hat and mask.
âWhy are you dressed like this?â Gigi looked at Winnie in disgust. Seeing that Edgar was walking further ahead, she tried to get rid of Winnie, âGo away, Iâm very busy now.â
âNo, Gigi. Come home with me. Your father is in trouble.â Winnie told Gigi about the car accident.
âWhat? How did my dad get involved in Carlâs car accident?â Gigi glared at Winnie.
No matter how dumb Gigi was, she knew she had to help her father so that she could keep her identity as the socialite of the Reece family. Otherwise, Edgar would probably call off their wedding.
âLetâs go home immediately.â
