Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 95 The Comparison But nobody could explain why Edgar did not do it. They were divorced but would always show up in the public as a pair - although they did not show up as a couple.

That was also why the other guests started whispering to each other, discussing about them. "I think Jean looks better with Edgar, there's something about Gigi that tells me she isn't the one. I mean she doesn't look anywhere as good as Jean, and don't get me started on their temperament."

"Sigh, if it weren't for the downfall of the Eyers, they would've been perfect for each other."

"Why did Gigi talk about the Eyers just now? You think she'd deliberately mentioned it because she feels insecure about herself? I honestly am dumbfounded that Mr. Royden chose to date her."

"I guess she is really, really good at gaslighting..."

Everyone stared at Gigi burying herself into Edgar's embrace as if she had no bones.

"Edgar, that's not what I meant, don't listen to her."

Edgar threw his sharp gaze at her, sending a chill down her spine.

It only took one look to shut Gigi's mouth, and she bit her lips dejectedly.

Jean chuckled, then turned to Mr. Edwards, who was talking to Edgar earlier about work. "I suppose I'm in no place to interfere with your businesses. But I have something to say about the cargo ships docked at the wharf." She uttered indifferently.

She had made a call to Royden Group, impersonating a news reporter, to request for an interview with Edgar - and to no surprise, she was refused.

But through a series of coaxing and investigation, she had finally found some crucial information.

Andy Shaw had approved a batch of shipment from overseas. While the source of the supply and logistics were legitimate, there were suspicions with the goods.

Edgar might not have noticed it yet.

Otherwise, he would never bring this up openly.

Jean broke into a smile, "Mr. Royden, seems like you weren't involved with the goods, were you? That means you don't know anything about the outdated parts, model K, which have been banned in the industry."

"What?" Mr. Edwards was startled, "Mr. Royden, is that true?"

It was not too long ago when the ban was issued in Yorktown. If Edgar had known that the parts were banned, it meant that he was trying to swindle Mr. Edwards into a collaboration.

Edgar took on a frown as a flash of murderous light shone in his eyes.

Being put on the spot, all he could do was apologize, "Of course not, Royden Group would never do such a thing."

Mr. Edwards became hesitant. After all, Royden Group was one of the most reputable organizations around. He looked at Edgar, then cleared his throat, "Mr. Royden, I need to use the bathroom."

He was kind enough not to refuse Edgar to his face.

Edgar looked at him as he walked into the distance, then turned his sharp gaze to Jean. Contents belong

"You are an unpredictable one, Miss Eyer."

"Thanks for the kind words, Mr. Royden. Honesty is one of my few strengths, I cannot stand to see someone fall into deception." She smiled brightly. While one might not notice she was being arrogant, it was clear that she was happy.

The gloomier Edgar looked, the happier she was.

Standing in the distance, Ben heaved a sigh of relief, but when he noticed that Edgar and Jean were talking to each other, he shook off Ally and headed toward them in large strides.

"Jean, I've been looking for you." He grabbed her by the wrist, "Let's go for a walk."

Jean was reluctant to leave as she had not had enough to eat.

Nobody noticed as Edgar squinted his eyes briefly at that moment.

But he was immediately interrupted by Gigi's coquettish voice. "Edgar, I'm not feeling very well, can you please bring me away for some rest?"

After all, she was pregnant.

Jean was revolted by the high-pitched voice, and she could feel her stomach churn. So, she agreed to Ben's proposal, "I think there's a pond at the back."

"Yeah..."

Ben led her away from the crowd as he introduced the place to her zealously. Meanwhile, Edgar finally turned his attention back to Gigi.

After what had happened, Gigi started toning down, but she could not hold herself from mocking Jean when she saw the chance. "Edgar, don't you think Jean is so pitiful? She's just gotten a divorce with you, and she's about to get dumped again."

Edgar remained silent.

"Look, how could a family like the Ludwigs let their only heir marry someone like her? I overheard a few women chatting away at the back, saying that Ben is due to be engaged to Ally Sans."

In other words, it is only a matter of time before he dumps Jean.

When that happens, Jean would lose everything, I'd be curious to see if she has the skin to stay in Yorktown.

At that thought, Gigi felt as though all the stress in the world had left her, but she quickly noticed Edgar's indifference.

"Edgar, are you upset?"

He turned his gaze to her, eyes filled with darkness, "Did you come here just to gossip?"Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"I... I just happened to walk pass them as they were talking, and I only paid attention to it because it was related to you." Gigi did not understand what she did wrong.

She was a woman - and she felt it was normal to keep an eye on her 'love rival'.

But Edgar thought otherwise. To him, this event was used as a Geor business discussions. Dit N.

for what she was known for to the public, he would not have chosen to bring her along.

He had hardly been here for half an hour before realizing that Gigi was not suited to this world.

Perhaps in hindsight, everything about her was unagreeable to Edgar.

He put on a scowl without uttering a word.

In his deep-set eyes was a concoction of mixed emotions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please make your way here."

Very quickly, Farra's birthday banquet had officially begun. The couplem stood shoulder-to-shoulder and proposed a toast to all the guests, followed by a touching speech.

The guests were cooperative with the hosts, and it seemed like they had forgotten about the small episode that had happened earlier.

Until Farra said with a smile, "Not long ago, my son came on top in a little competition. It was a Com complicated story, and he did something that he normally wouldn't do, but I hope you won't take it to heart."

These words were difficult to decipher. But many in the crowd seemed to have an idea what she was referring to, as murmurs of whispers started filling the room.

"It seems like the Ludwigs don't approve of Jean Eyer."

"That's not so surprising, she is Edgar's ex-wife, why would the Ludwigs want anything to do with her?"

Ben and Jean had just returned from the garden and overheard the talk about them.

Ally had timed her appearance perfectly as she grabbed Ben's arm, "Ben, why don't we go propose a toast to your mother? Just as a gesture, shall we?" Jean's heart sank into the shadow realm. "Nah," Ben responded with furrowed brows.
