Concerned About Her Secret
The waiter answered with a smile, “I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t notice where they have gone to.” Edgar’s
expression darkened. He turned around and was about to head to the private rooms when Nathan
stopped him. “What are you going to do if you find them? If you cause a scene, it will be humiliating for
everyone.”
Edgar’s expression turned hostile. Nathan pulled Edgar with all his strength and dragged him out of the
nightclub. Meanwhile, Ben and Jean stood beside the second-floor staircase and watched Edgar being
pulled away.
Ben said, “He still doesn’t trust you.” If Edgar truly loved her, he would not have followed her here. He
was busy working in the study room when she left. Yet, he suddenly appeared and nearly started a
fight.
Jean’s eyes flickered with resignation. When she decided to save everything, she expected it would not
be easy to trick Edgar. His cautiousness and vigilance were his weapons.
“Jean, please stop while you still have the chance.” Ben was worried for her. If everything is exposed,
what will Edgar do to Jean? That man is arrogant and conceited. He would never accept any deception
or betrayal.
The music began again, thrumming in one’s ears and stirring one’s heartbeat. Jean’s lips slowly curved
into a smile. “I only wish to pay him back for all he had done to me.”
Edgar frowned and watched her turn around and walk backstage. “I want to see Sam’s new lover.”
Since she could not control Edbert, she needed to find her escape. Ben stood still and sighed. “You still
can’t let him go.”
Jean sneaked into the dressing room and soon found Carly Harlem, the lead dancer, who was seeing
Sam. She was curling her hair and smoking a cigarette as she flirted with someone on the phone.
She noticed Jean walking toward her and watched her closely. Carly soon looked to the other side. “All
right then, I’ll go find you later.”
Then, she put down her phone and looked at Jean. “Looking for someone? The men’s changing room
is that side.” It was not uncommon for a wealthy woman to come here searching for a male companion.
Carly was long used to it.
Jean did not move but said calmly, “I’m here to see you.” Carly was stunned and stood leaning against
the wall. Her smile became more apparent as she said, “Stop playing around. I’m not…”
“Sam has been pursuing you recently, right?” Jean’s words caused Carly’s face to turn pale. “I don’t
know what you’re talking about.”
Carly was about to close the door on Jean, but Jean stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, dragging
her away. “I have a business offer that you would be interested in.”
“Oh, a business offer? I’m expensive. I don’t think you can afford me.”
But her eyes brightened with interest.
Jean said calmly, “If you work with me, I will give you half of the Reece family’s assets. I believe you
have an idea about how much he has.”
Although Reece Group was not doing well recently, Sam had still done business for many years and
had many connections in the business world. Therefore, he had plenty of fixed assets under his name.
Carly had long known about this.
However, she did not plan to marry him. Even if Sam liked her, he would never let her have any of his
properties. Thus, Carly only planned to play him and get herself a few expensive handbags.
She began to consider the possibilities as she listened to Jean.
“This is not a conducive place to talk. Let’s go somewhere else.”
…
Meanwhile, Edgar returned to his house. His thoughts and emotions were a mess.
Nathan was worried about him and stayed to have a few drinks with him.
It was now late at night. Edgar leaned on the couch and could not stop thinking about Jean’s words and
how she looked at him. He wondered if they were all lies.
He felt unexplainable anger burning in his chest. His expression darkened intimidatingly.
I’m an idiot. I shouldn’t have trusted her.
Nathan put down his wine glass and froze when he saw Edgar’s murderous gaze. He swallowed the
wine in his mouth. “It’s too early for you to be angry. It would be best if you had a good talk with her
tomorrow. It’s not what it seems.”
“Yes, some matters are not as simple as they seem.”
Nathan did not know what to say and shook his head helplessly. Edgar was furious and would not listen
to any sense.
As he was about to persuade Edgar, the doorbell rang.
It’s late. Who can it be?
He opened the door and found Gigi standing there. She adjusted her fur coat and chuckled, “Mr. Knox,
you’re here.”
She carried containers of food and walked into the house. Her high heels made clicking noises on the
floor.
She had never been here since Edgar kicked her out of this house.
Furthermore, her feelings were no longer the same as she looked at Edgar sitting on the couch.
“Mr. Royden, let’s have a chat.” Gigi took a few steps forward. “I believe you are curious about who
confined you at the harbor.”
Her words stunned the two men.
She knows?
Gigi was aware of their astonished gazes, but she calmly placed the soup and other food she had
brought on the table. “Don’t look at me like that. I only happened to come across a few secrets.”
“Mr. Knox, Edgar would like to speak alone with me.”
Gigi noticed the faint alcohol smell in the air as soon as she walked in. She also saw the empty wine
glasses on the table.
Thus, she did not have to ask to know that Edgar was frustrated over the matter with Jean. She needed
to grab this chance.
Therefore, she smiled even more cheerfully at the man who had always been cold toward her. She
needed to win and make them all pay the price.
Nathan was stunned and glanced at Edgar. Seeing his gaze, he immediately grabbed his coat and left.
Gigi and Edgar were the only ones left in the spacious living room.
Gigi smiled. “Please have some soup and casserole.”
She behaved so caringly that she seemed completely different from the spoiled brat she was.
Furthermore, she did not even mind Edgar behaving indifferently toward her. “I know you don’t wish to
see me, and I won’t force you to do anything. Moreover, I’ve said this before. We need to have a good
talk so that things are not difficult for the three of us.”
She kept bringing up Jean now and then, allowing her words to manipulate Edgar’s emotions.
“Get to the point. Who did it?” Edgar’s expression darkened. He was not in the mood to go around in
circles with her.
Jean observed his expression and smiled. “You should eat some casserole first. Let’s have a chat.”
Then, she got up and cleared the empty wine bottles.
At the same time, Jean had just arrived at her house. Before she could go in, she received an e-mail in
French.
‘Gigi is at Edgar’s house. Are you not going?’
Jean looked at those words and tightened her grip on her phone.
Edbert knew their every move as if he had placed a surveillance camera on each of them. Furthermore,
he had them in the palm of his hand.
