Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 225 Chapter 225 Save Your Energy If it wasn't for Edgar? Ha! I should've known. Jean sneered coldly. Besides Ben, every member of the Ludwig family is money-minded. She inhaled deeply and uttered, "Ben, I'm taking my leave first." She did not want to argue with a cunning businessman like Myer, for the sake of Ben. "Stop there!" Myer slammed his palm on the table with a fierce look on his face. Farra wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

"We're willing to take you in as our daughter-in-law out of respect for your late father. However, not only did you turndown, but you even dared to contradict me!" Myer would only behave obsequiously to someone like Edgar. He couldn't possibly endure being given the cold shoulder by Jean, so he blurted the harsh words mercilessly.

"Everyone in the city is well aware of how you got the project. Edgar is being generous to you. Do you really think all of us are idiots?" "Dad! How can you say that to her?" Frowning, Ben stood in front of Jean and fearlessly refuted his father.

Farra stopped Myer and said, "Con, you don't have to argue with the children." Myer scoffed, "You should know your position. How dare you..." "It seems Mr. Ludwig is getting more hot-tempered these days." Suddenly, Edgar's voice emerged in the air as he swiftly strode into the house with a stern look.

After glancing coldly at the others, his gaze cupon Jean at last.

Standing beside Jean, his tall figure immediately blocked the light on top of her.

"Mr. Royden!" Myer quickly changed his expression, and walked up to Edgar. "You should've toldearlier that you were coming so that I could await you at the entrance." Edgar shot a glance at Myer with eyes filled with immense coldness. "I was just passing by. Otherwise, I would have missed this good show." Perceiving Edgar's implicit meaning, Myer squeezed an awkward smile.

"Were you just passing by, Mr. Royden? I think you cspecially for her." Ben knitted his brows; his voice was filled with enmity.

Jean's heart jolted. Before she could say anything, Edgar put on a profound smile. The hostility between his brows was extremely intimidating. "Since you're aware of it, I'll bring her away now." With that, he grasped Jean's wrist.

Being caught off guard, Jean staggered forward to follow his steps. "Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me!" She struggled.

However, Edgar tightened his grip on her wrist, causing her to feel a sharp pain.

"Or, do you want to stay?" His gaze was so piercing that Jean felt overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, it was too late for Myer to regret it as he watched Edgar barring Jean away. "W-We're finished! Why didn't anyone notifythat Edgar was here?" Mr. Coleman and the servants quickly lowered their heads. "I'm sorry, sir." Farra sighed in exasperation. "Ben, why don't you go after them and see what's going on?" Ben stared blankly at Jean and Edgar as they left. "What for?" Jean has been avoidingsince the beginning. Who am I to go after her now? Thereafter, Ben went back to his room with a cold face. He couldn't blJean for leaving with Edgar, because he was not qualified to do so.

In the car, Edgar let go of Jean's wrist. Just then, the driver took a turn, causing Jean to accidentally bump into the side of the door, giving a loud bang.

Startled, the driver blurted, "I'm sorry, Ms. Eyer." "Don't..." "I guess you're not that dim-witted yet. At least, you can feel pain. You sure are bold to attend a dinner at the Ludwig's." Jean frowned. She didn't intend to respond to Edgar.

"Don't assthat the Ludwig family would treat you with respect just because Ben is interested in you. I can't believe you're so thick-skinned to suck up to the Ludwig family. You're even more embarrassing than Gary Eyer." It was the third tsomeone had mentioned her father today. At once, the aggrievance that Jean had been suppressing burst forth.

Gritting her teeth, she stared into Edgar's frigid eyes and retorted, "Yes, I willingly suck up to Ben because he's handsand rich. Most importantly, he likes me! Moreover, the Ludwig family is able to satisfy my needs now. If you have the extra time, you should settle your family issue instead of meddling with my affair, Mr. Royden." Edgar gripped the handle of the door, and spat menacingly through gritting teeth, "True. You're right!" At that moment, Edgar no longer had conditions to control her.

Half a minute later, Jean was ditched at a cross junction. She had mixed feelings as she watched Edgar's car disappear from her sight.

Edgar is extremely busy. It's impossible that he merely passed by Ludwig Residence to bringout.

Jean was reminded of what Edgar said the other day. After pondering about it for a moment, she sneered. "Even if I have to stay single forever, I'll never go back to him." To her, Edgar was a sworn enemy Jean took a few steps forward. Suddenly, a car horn sounded from close by. She lifted her eyes to see a truck heading toward her. The car light was so blinding that she could hardly open her eyes.

Bang! The next second, a loud bang emerged from the street.

Heavy smoke lingered in the air as the petrified Jean opened her eyes to see two trucks crashed into each other in the middle of the crossroad.

She heard a rumble before passing out from a dizzy spell.

"Miss? Miss?" "She's fortunate. She would've lost her legs if she was one foot closer." "Quickly send her to the hospital!" After the rumble, there was an immediate silence.

When Jean opened her eyes again, she realized she was lying on a bed in the emergency room. People were walking past her. It turned out she had temporarily lost her hearing again due to the collision. When she caught sight of the edge of Edgar's shirt, she thought there was a problem with her brain.

He ditchedout of frustration. Why would he return? For my safety? That's impossible! "How is she?" Edgar wore a cold and displeased expression.

"The patient did not suffer any superficial injuries. We'll perform a CT scan when she comes around to confirm if there are any sequelae, such as intracerebral hemorrhage." Saying that, the doctor ticked a box on the document before passing it to Edgar. "We require the patient's family member to sign here."

Edgar wasn't Jean's family member, but he signed the document without hesitation. If he refused to sign it, no one would care if Jean's life was at risk. Edgar lifted the curtain and met Jean's gaze.

He said something, but Jean couldn't hear him. Just as she was about to point at her ear, Edgar received a call and walked away in a hurry.

So, Jean lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

It was only an hour later did Edgar return. Looking furious, he lifted Jean's blanket and dragged her out of the bed.

Feeling a pain in her arm, Jean yelped, "Ouch!" She tried to control her volbecause she couldn't hear. Contents belong to At that moment, Edgar realized something was wrong. He seized Jean's shoulders, drew close to her ear and said something.

However, Jean shook her head exasperatedly and muttered, "Save your energy. I can't hear anything. I wanted to tell you just now."
