Chapter 166 You’re the One Who Is Unworthy
Three days later, Perles’ new product was released on the market, and the advertisements were gorgeous. The brand even generously admitted that the male and female talents in the advertisement were not celebrities, and were in fact, an actual couple.
Both their faces weren’t revealed, but Perles’ entrance had the most prominent photo of them hugging each other, which revealed the woman’s back and the man’s jawline.
In an instant, exactly who shot an haute couture advertisement like this attracted many people’s speculation.
Gigi Reece was at home, and when she stared at the photos in the magazine, she tore it to pieces.
“I’m going to kill her!”
Winnie Campbell pushed her door open to give her some fruits and just happened to hear that.
The door made a creak, and Gigi Reece turned her head fiercely to stare at Winnie Campbell. “Come here.”
Winnie Campbell let out a dry chuckle. “What’s wrong, Gigi?”
“Tell me, what does Jean Eyer care about the most?” She wanted to take everything from that whore.
“How would I know,” Winnie Campbell said, playing dumb.
“Don’t lie to me. I’ve found out all about you and Gary Eyer. If you don’t tell me honestly, I’ll tell my dad now!”
Gigi Reece glared at Winnie Campbell. “Or do you mean to tell me that you’re still missing Gary Eyer who’s dead? Did you only marry my dad for the Reece family money!”
Winnie Campbell gritted her teeth. “Gigi, it hurts me when you say that.”
In actual fact, Winnie Campbell only found out after she got married that the Reece family was all a bluff. Their money was tied up in the company, and they didn’t have all that much movable assets.
Furthermore, Sam Reece had been staying with that little pixie recently. She was rarely even given allowance, what more gifts.
There was such a big contrast compared to Gary Eyer.
“Alright, let me call my dad now.”
“No no no!” Winnie Campbell let out a sigh. She pretended like she was being coerced and blackmailed. “What Jean Eyer cares about, is definitely the company that her dad left to her. I heard that it’s now a waste recycling company.”
“Waste recycling? Ha, it’s right up the alley of that whore.” Gigi Reece gritted her teeth when she thought about it.
Winnie Campbell put the fruits down and looked at Gigi Reece’s malicious expression. She thought secretly, would Edgar Royden marry her?
If he was going to marry her, why was nothing happening after so long?
“Gigi, there’s something that your dad wanted me to ask you. Did you and Edgar go through the marriage registration process?”
It wasn’t Sam Reece who asked the question, but rather it was her who wanted to know.
Gigi Reece was angry when she thought about this.
She said in a muffled voice, “Not yet. We wanted to register after the wedding, but it’s been dragged out until now. Edgar hasn’t brought it up.”
In that moment, Winnie Campbell was dazed.
“Gigi, I think you should get it registered with him as soon as possible. The longer it’s dragged out, the more disadvantageous it is for you.”
Although she said it indirectly, Gigi Reece still understood.
“You’re afraid Edgar will leave me for that whore?” Gigi Reece laughed coldly. “How can that be! I’m pregnant with his child.”
“What if Edgar Royden takes the child away after you give birth? Gigi, don’t be so naïve. Think about how the Eyer family fell from grace.”
When Winnie Campbell said that, she wasn’t really thinking about Gigi Reece.
If the Reece family could tie Edgar Royden down, money wouldn’t be a problem. If they lost an asset as valuable as Edgar Royden, it was only a matter of time before they lost everything else with the half-witted Sam Reece.
Gigi Reece’s eyes sank.
“You’re right, you’re right…”
She chewed the corner of her lips and looked at herself in the mirror. “Get the makeup artist here, I need my makeup!”
“Are you going to put on your usual thick makeup?” Winie Campbell was really worried that her brain was full of mush!
“Of course not.”
Gigi Reece ground her teeth and said, “From now on, I’m going to become the second Jean Eyer.”
Someone who was bearing Edgar Royden’s child, a woman he couldn’t forget.
Only this way could she defeat that whore.
Winnie Campbell thought happily beside her. She’s finally beginning to understand.
…
Jean Eyer spent the next few days at the training ground. She left early and went home late, basically never bumping into Edgar Royden.
But she was staying in Edgar Royden’s villa.
If for no other reason but to keep an eye on that man’s actions, lest he did some shady things again.
The Dark Horse Team didn’t have much hope, but Ben Ludwig persisted in training with Jean Eyer every day. Slowly, Sonny Kalzarc and Franklin took the initiative to come over and report to them.
“Ms. Eyer, if you can increase your speed earlier at that curve, you should be fine with the power of two cylinders.”
“Ms. Eyer, have a sip of water. Sonny Kalzarc will be done with the data in a bit.”
With all hands on deck, Jean Eyer’s lap speed was almost catching up to Ben Ludwig.
But it wasn’t stable yet.
“There’s hope. As long as we keep going like this, it’ll be no problem.” Sonny Kalzarc said excitedly, “Everyone, keep going.”
Jean Eyer got out of the car again, and she felt a little disoriented by her loose footsteps.
The sun had been blazing the past few days, and she wore her helmet in the cab of the car. Whenever she got out from the car, she felt a bit faint. But it was only for a few seconds, so she never took it to heart.
But today, it was clear that something wasn’t right.
She took a few steps, but the dizziness didn’t go away.
Her head sank, and she planted forwards.
Fortunately, Ben Ludwig could see that something wasn’t right with her. He ran forward and held on to her. “Are you alright?”
Jean Eyer waved her hand and was about to say that she was fine.
She hazily saw an additional figure in the stands in front of her. Is that Edgar Royden?
She gritted her teeth and stood up. She didn’t want to let that man watch the fun.
“Don’t worry, maybe I didn’t sleep well last night.”
“Stop training.” Ben Ludwig held her wrist, his tone distressed.
The daily high-intensity training would’ve been too much for him previously, what more for her as a girl.
Jean Eyer forced a smile. “I have my limits. If I’m tired, I’ll let you know.”
This hardship was nothing. She hadn’t reached her limit yet.
She wanted to go all out and let Edgar Royden know that no one could interfere with one’s destiny. As long as there was a chance, she’d fight for it.
When she looked up again, the figure she saw in the stands just now had disappeared.
Was it just an illusion?
Jean Eyer thought about this while looking away.
Ben Ludwig kept holding on to her hand and didn’t want to let go of it. Sonny Kalzarc and the rest of the team gave her water and chocolate immediately.
“Jean Eyer, this lap was pretty good. There are just some small details to take note of.” Sonny Kalzarc came over with the data and was patiently explaining.
Jean Eyer listened while she drank water.
Ben Ludwig’s cellphone rang, and when he went to take the call, he heard Sonny Kalzarc and the rest of the team cry out, “Jean Eyer!”
His hand trembled, and he ran back panicked.
But before he reached, a figure ran over and picked Jean Eyer up.
Ben Ludwig shot over like an arrow and wanted to grab Jean Eyer back, but Edgar Royden dodged him with a cold face.
“You’re not worthy to touch her,” Ben Ludwig said anxiously.
Edgar Royden’s stern gaze swept him. “Letting a woman risk her life for you, you’re the one who is unworthy.”
