Chapter 289 Chapter 289 Suspect Her Ben let out a helpless sigh, "Jean, I know you have always wanted to take revenge on him, but you must also look after yourself. You have just recovered from an amnesic episode inflicted by him. I don't know what he will do to you after this. I think you'd better get out of the villa first." "Ben, this is what I live for. I can't just sit and watch Edgar remarry and have a child with another woman. He destroyed my family and my life; I have to get even with him." An eye for an eye. “I'll take care of the rest. Doanother favor and divulge Royden Group's bid price to Jensen." Ben had no choice but to do as told, "Sure, I will get it done as soon as possible.” He wanted to say smore but she had already hung up on him. Ben held onto his phone, unnerved and helpless.
On the other hand, Jean went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she cout of the shower, she noticed the lights in the room were dimmed. Apparently, Edgar cby and left a moment ago.
Jean chuckled, sneaked under the quilt, and switched off the light. After two uneventful days. Edgar was infuriated when the bidding results were released.
Jean was enjoying her breakfast, when suddenly she heard a resounding clank from the study room. She glanced in the direction of the noise and was pleased to see Edgar throwing a tantrum.
After a while, Miles rushed over with several Royden Group's managers. They took turns and went into Edgar's study room. As expected, Edgar lashed out at them.
"Go and investigate now!" Jean took out her phone and tuned in to the news while enjoying her fruits.
"Rocher Group has won the BNC joint intelligence project. Initially, Royden Group was set to win this project, but they were not able to get win the bid.” Nobody had ever dared to hijack his business deal or appropriate his thing.
For the record, Jensen was the first. To state the obvious, he even won the project effortlessly.
Jean knew that Edgar must be going berserk in the study room. More importantly, he would never have thought that it was Jean who leaked Royden Group's bid price to their competitor.

Jean saw him coming out of the study room and immediately walked up to him, she wore a smile and asked gently, "What can I do to help?" Edgar was fuming in exasperation. He quickly put on his necktie and said coldly, "I have to go back to the office. You stay at home." "Will you be htonight?" Jean quizzed pretentiously.
Hearing the car engine sound, her smile widened.
She sneaked into his study room while he was away. The bracelet that he had previously won at the auction on the cruise must still be with him.
Jean would never let the belongings of the Eyer family fall into his hand.
She rummaged through the bookshelves for an extended tbut still couldn't find any leads. Jean was preoccupied in searching for the bracelet and consequently took no notice of her surroundings.
When she attempted to comb through the next cabinet.
Suddenly, Edgar's low voice pervaded the room, "What are you doing?" Bang! Edgar's presence caught Jean off guard. She jolted up and hit her head on the wooden panel. Subsequently, she cowered down and moaned while wrapping her hands around her head.
Her heartbeat raced. Was she caught red handed? She bit her lip and steeled herself. She stood up and faced Edgar.
"Edgar, you're back so soon." She pretended to be concerned and asked, "Didn't you say that you had to go back to the office for an urgent matter?"The man looked grave and continued to stare at her.
After a while, he repeated and asked her solemnly, "What are you doing in my study room?" Jean didn't expect him to chso soon. She quickly whipped up a reason to fool Edgar, "I couldn't sleep and thought of reading a book, but it looks like there's nothing suitable forto read. Your books are all too perspicacious and difficult to understand." She randomly picked up a book and showed it to him, "Look, it's so thick. I probably wouldn't be able to finish reading even if you givehalf a month." Edgar didn't say a word as if he was pondering and analyzing her reason.
Jean looked steady and collected. She raised her eyes and looked at him. There was a palpable gap between them.
Jean couldn't tell his emotion from his expression.
She slowly put down the book while her heart thumped like a drum. What if he had discovered her motive or found her to be suspicious? What should I do? Jean was worried and hushed, but Edgar walked up to her and took two books from the bookshelf behind her. "Take a look at this one. Maybe you will like it." He offered while tucking her straggly hair behind her ear. His voice sounded deeper than usual, “Cand askagain if it is not suitable for you." Jean accepted the book and beamed a bright smile at him.
"Alright." She scurried out of the study room. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and noticed two secured drawers behind Edgar's desk.
She had to wait for another opportunity to look in the drawers.
Jean felt rather deplorable for missing out on the opportunity, but she had no choice but to leave his study room for now.
Behind her, the man looked solemn. Suddenly, his phone rang chimed. It was Nathan calling. Contents belong to "Found it. Rocher Group changed their bid price an hour before the submission and the final price was one million more than our bid price." This can't be a coincidence! "Edgar, you should know what this means. Andy was sacked and all the other directors are trudging at your mercy. But now there's still a traitor among us. Who could that be?" Edgar dulled his face, "I wonder who the culprit is." The culprit was such a daredevil, daring to beard the lion in his den.
"Do you think, is it possible..." "She lost her memory." Edgar suspected her too, but he couldn't bear to doubt her as she had been very compliant and understanding to him.
He had indebted her too much and didn't want to implicate her further.

On the other side of the call, Nathan sighed, "Lettell you, both of you are in a mess of a relationship) If this was really her work, then you should be extra careful in the future. The project is a lost cause, and right now you have to recover the losses at once." Of course, he knew he needed to remedy the situation.
But he still had doubts.
Due to this incident, the conflict between Edgar and the Rocher's father those small-tneva subjeet}.thad been made magazines. Rumor had it that Jensen went up against Royden Group for a woman. And Edgar might reconcile with his ex-wife.
And Gigi was subscribed to these scandals and speculations as well.
Mona pried on the gossip when she visited Gigi at the hospital, "What's the matter with your fiancé and Jean? It's spreading like wildfire in the circle. What a disgrace!" In fact, Gigi was past her estimated delivery date.
But she deliberately delayed the birth month in order to deceive Edgar. And right now, she could only hope that the baby would cout soon.
But fate had it the other way around for her.
"What is it about?" She asked through her teeth.
"They say Jean is Edgar's lawful wife, and you're his mistress." What a plot twist! Gigi had now becthe mistress who was meddling in someone else's marriage.
"What a lot of crap!" Gigi propped herself up and called Edgar. As soon as the call was answered, her m expression changed instantly, "Edgar, a reporter is coming to interview me. Can you cover and do the interview with me? It's just a private interview. It won't take up a lot of your time." She was determined to let the public know that Edgar and her were in a stable relationship, and no one else could encroach in their relationship.
