Chapter 80 I’ll Give You Back Your Card If…
Seeing them immersing in undisguised thoughts, Edgar said softly. “Do you know who proposed our wedding?”
Gigi shook her head. “Jean.” Edgar walked away, leaving Gigi and Winnie bewildered on the spot. “What does he mean? Is Jean the one who made him change his mind to marry me?” Gigi clenched her fists.
Winnie comforted her, “Don’t think about anything else. Just prepare to be the prettiest and happiest bride. This time, you must get married to Edgar.”
“But…” Gigi couldn’t untie the knot in her heart. She knew things wouldn’t go around so smoothly. Last time, Jean destroyed our wedding. Why would she suggest Edgar to have our wedding all of a sudden?
Gigi was worried, “Our wedding shouldn’t delay any longer.” “Yes, let’s go. Don’t let the others hear you.” Winnie dragged Gigi with one hand and their bags and scarves with the other hand. They then walked out of the room together.
In the other room, Jean was still eating. She had finished her crabs and was planning on trying other dishes. In terms of the ratings of Luminance Villa, that feast was definitely expensive.
Jean knew that she might not be able to afford such a feast for months, so she decided not to waste the food. Edgar saw her enjoying her food when he passed by her room, so he went in and sat down.
He sat opposite her with his legs crossed.
After a long while, Jean still didn’t seem to notice him.
Edgar frowned, “Say something.”
Jean grabbed a drumstick in one hand and muttered, “You invited me here. You should pay for my meal.”
Edgar looked at her silently. “Sure, I’ll pay with your money.”
Edgar put the card Winnie gave him on the table.
Jean’s eyes lit up. She immediately put down her chopsticks, “Mr. Royden, why are you using my money?”
“Yours?”
Edgar’s mouth tilted slightly. Look at how energetic she is. She definitely loves money.
Edgar said something that totally shattered Jean’s pride, “You owe me tens of millions. This money that you have is not even enough to pay for your interest.”
Jean was speechless.
She took a deep breath.
She had nothing to say, so she bowed down and continued to eat.
“I will return this card to you.” Edgar said suddenly.
Jean was chewing when she replied, “Under what conditions?”
Edgar was an evil person. It was absolutely impossible for him to return Jean her money easily.
“You must dress up and attend my wedding. Also, you have to propose a toast in front of everyone.” Edgar stared coldly at Jean while holding the card between his fingers. “After that, I’ll return you your card.”
Jean gritted her teeth.
“Sure.”
She was willing to do anything for money.
Edgar fixed his eyes on Jean and said coldly, “If you dare to lie to me, don’t even think about staying in Yorktown any longer.”
“Alright, I got it.”
Jean nodded. She wiped her mouth and prepared to leave, “Is that all? Can I go now?”
Before Edgar could say anything, Jean had already rushed out the door.
Edgar quickly instructed, “Follow her.”
“Yes, Mr. Royden.” Miles immediately sent a few bodyguards to follow Jean secretly.
Edgar glanced at the card and sneered disdainfully, “Jean, why are you giving up your reputation just for the one hundred thousand?”
Edgar thought that he would feel happy about his successful revenge.
He deliberately showed Jean how Winnie betrayed her.
He deliberately let Jean experience the feeling of being abandoned while she was enjoying one of her best meals.
Only until he saw the empty plates in front of him, did he realize then that Jean had completely changed.
After Jean left Luminance Villa, she called Monica and expressed her concern.
“Edgar and the Reece family will come and look for you soon. Just tell them that everything was done by me. I’m not afraid of them.”
Monica was lying on the hospital bed watching variety shows.
“Do you think I’m a person with no class? Well, I’m not a fool. I will definitely stay far away from you in the future.”
Jean just happened to bring out her proposal at the right time.
Monica had long wanted to get rid of the lascivious and domineering Carl.
“Okay then, I’ll go visit you when I’m free.”
On the other end of the phone, Monica reminded, “The design competition is scheduled at the beginning of next month. Remember to practice more and find some inspiration.”
“Why do you want me to win the design competition?” Jean still couldn’t get it.
It took a long while before Monica replied, “I don’t want you to repeat my mistakes.”
After speaking, Monica ended the call.
Jean didn’t understand a single word Monica said.
Jean put the phone back into her pocket, then took a taxi home.
Nothing actually happened for a few days.
However, this morning, Jean was woken up by a call from Miles.
“Jean, we have arrived downstairs.”
Jean jumped up in shock. She had almost forgotten that she had to attend her ex-husband’s wedding. She wasn’t dressed yet.
“Okay, I’ll go down in a while.”
After washing her face, Jean put on a red dress and a pair of high heels.
Although the dress wasn’t expensive, Jean looked really elegant in it.
She looked at herself in the mirror, feeling rather satisfied.
Since it’s a show, I’ll watch it happily.
Before going out, she received a call from Ben, “Are you really going to the wedding? I’ll pick you up and go with you.”
“It’s okay. Aren’t you going to practice today? I know you’re participating in a racing competition this weekend. I’ll go and watch your race on that day. Alright, I need to go now.”
After she hung up, she got into the car.
Miles didn’t dress up for the wedding. She was still wearing her black suit as usual.
She suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Gigi. How can she enjoy marrying a man who doesn’t care about her or love her?
Jean took a deep breath and shook her head.
While Miles was driving, she asked Jean. “Jean, did you find something abnormal recently?”
“What do you mean?” Jean didn’t get her.
“Did you see anyone following you?” Miles asked patiently. “We saw a group of people secretly following you after you left Luminance Villa that day.”
Jean frowned.
“Their car is right behind us now.”
