Caught Red-handed
But alas, no one could reject Edgar’s decision. A few minutes later, the five of them were seated in a
private room.
In contrast to the last time, even Jonathan did not dare to spit nonsense anymore this time. After being
beaten into a pulp last time, he did not even dare to cast a glance at Jean now.
There were several bottles of wine on the table, but none of their glasses were filled. Everyone sat
cautiously at their seats as if they were attending a solemn meeting.
“Go ahead and move,” Edgar hostilely blurted while seizing Jean’s shoulder. The moment Jean moved,
he exerted more force on her.
Jean winced in pain and squealed, “I want some liquor.”
“No way.” Edgar pushed a plate of fruits to Jean, giving her no chance to resist. “Women are only
allowed to have fruits at a place like this.”
Jean gritted her teeth in hatred and retorted, “You must have always brought women here, hence
you’re so familiar with the rules.”
Edgar’s face darkened even more.
“Shut up, or I’ll send you to the room just now and feed you alcohol in front of them.” Suddenly, Edgar
drew close to Jean and hissed in a deep, magnetic voice.
Jean rolled her eyes at Edgar before taking an orange and started peeling it.Meanwhile, Brad tugged at
Nathan and asked, “Hey Nathan, what’s going on here?”
“I have no idea.” Nathan shook his head with his eyes closed. He did not dare to make any comments
recklessly at the cost of the business opportunities with Royden Group.
Brad smirked. “Don’t tell me the Royden family is going to have a new mistress.”
Truth was, Gigi had been bragging around about her relationship with Edgar. Besides, she was
pregnant, so everyone thought she was Edgar’s legitimate partner.
But given the current situation, it didn’t seem like that was the case.
“Did you guys realize that there is a world of difference in how Edgar treats Jean compared to how he
treats Gigi?”
“Yeah, man!”
Brad, Nathan, and Jonathan sat closer to each other as they secretly started discussing among
themselves.
Suddenly, Edgar bawled with a cold look. “What the hell are you guys talking about?”
“I… I have some matters to attend to at home. I have to go back first.” Nathan invented an excuse and
stood up to leave the room. However, the moment he took a step forward, he could sense Edgar’s
menacing stare.
Frustrated, he turned around and scowled at Edgar. “You were having your own good time. Why do you
have to drag the three of us here? How is it fair to us?”Brad and Jonathan nodded silently, expressing
their agreement.
Leaning against the couch, Edgar curled his lips insouciantly. “You can invite your friends here.”
“What about her then…”
After all, some men valued privacy more than others when carousing in a club.
“Don’t worry about that. Miss Eyer is experienced and won’t mind being present. Am I right?” Saying
that, Edgar slapped Jean’s shoulder heavily.
Jean flinched and spat through gritted teeth, “Yeah.”
Since Edgar approved, several gorgeous chicks came into the private room.
Each of them was talented and could hold their liquor. Most importantly, they were gentle and honey-
tongued.
“Mr. Knox, you’re so handsome today.”
“Mr. White, it has been a while since you hit me up. Don’t you miss me?”
The scene was a typical depiction of voluptuous life. The barmaids gulped down glasses of liquor one
after another. However, no one dared to flirt with Edgar due to his aloof look and the fact that Jean was
sitting beside him.
On the other hand, Jean nibbled on the oranges non-stop until the orange skins were all around the
floor. She even deliberately threw the skins near Edgar’s feet, hoping that he would slip and fall when
he stood up later after getting drunk. She was thrilled at the thought of seeing Edgar injured.
Moments later, Edgar stood up and went to the washroom. When he came back, he sat on the other
side of Jean as if he had read her mind.
Jean cursed in a low voice, but Edgar immediately pinched her ear and croaked, “I can hear you.”
“You have excellent hearing. What a pity you didn’t become a paparazzi, Mr. Royden.”
It was a boring night for Jean. It was only after Nathan and the others shifted to another place for a
second round did Edgar lead Jean back to the car.
“Tonight, you’ve seen for yourself Ben’s true colors. You better think twice before deciding to marry
him.” Edgar fastened his seat belt with a frosty look.
He had not taken a single sip of liquor just now, so he was safe to drive.
Jean snorted sulkily. “You must have nothing better to do. Who are you to advise me? Do you think
your dear Gigi is innocent and virtuous? She…”
While Jean was talking halfway, her gaze fixed on the front all of a sudden.
“Ha! What a small world!”
Hearing her cheeky tone, Edgar frowned and followed her gaze. At once, his expression turned ghastly.
From afar, they could see Gigi and Linda standing in front of a bar’s entrance.
Besides, there were a few men with them who were obviously drunk.
Although Jean and Edgar couldn’t see them clearly from where they were, one could clearly tell that
those men were up to no good and were taking advantage of the women beside them.
Jean placed her chin on her hand and waved the other hand. “Tsk. I guess women are no different.
Certain desires just can’t be satisfied by one man. Or rather, someone is incapable.”
“Jean Eyer.”
Edgar spat her name through gritted teeth in a menacing manner.
However, Jean was not threatened at all
“Do you think they’ll go for a second round?”
“That’s enough!”
Edgar placed his hand on the door handle, but ended up staying in the car after hesitating for a while.
Jean gazed at Edgar with a wide grin and said, “Oh well, you’ll bring humiliation upon yourself if you go
over now. Everyone will know that you’ve been cheated on!”
It was the perfect time for Jean to take revenge against Edgar for all the provoking words that he had
said to her just now.
Looking grim, Edgar stared fixedly in that direction while Jean continued babbling on. “Look at the
bright side. At least the child belongs to you.”
“Shut up.”
Jean gasped, “Not a problem.”
She was on cloud nine now and even started planning for supper.
On the other hand, Gigi planned to say goodbye to the directors and leave after dinner. She was
confident about getting the role because the directors had already taken advantage of her just now.
“Gigi, you’re such a beautiful woman. But alas, you’re married at a young age.” An inebriated director
drew close to Gigi, lowered his head and caressed her hand.
Gigi wore an awkward smile. Although fame and popularity were important for her too, marrying Edgar
remained her utmost priority.
She wouldn’t allow the goons to harass her and would only please them to an acceptable extent.
So, she smiled coquettishly and purred, “Yeah. Indeed, it’s a little early.
“It’s okay. Come and find me if you run into any trouble next time.” The man said and stuffed into Gigi’s
hand a slip that had his phone number on it. “Just give me a call, even if it’s in the middle of the night.”
Gigi received the slip with a smile and watched the directors leave.
The moment the car disappeared from her sight, Gigi’s smile faded.
Linda nudged her from the side. “They haven’t gone too far. Come on, keep on smiling.”
Gigi snorted crabbily. “Nah, I’m tired. Didn’t you say that he helped me pull strings with some famous
directors? Who the hell are they?”
Linda sighed. “That’s out of my control. Director Lewis…”
Before she could finish the sentence, she received a call from Director Lewis. After hearing what he
said from the other end of the line, she answered gleefully, “Alright, no problem.”
“What’s up?”
“Gigi, let’s head to Director Lewis’ villa. He wants to talk to you in private.”
