Chapter 137 Trusted the Wrong Person

Upon hearing her words, Edgar’s face darkened. “Fine, Jean. I admit that you are harsh,” he said in a low voice. “Go

ahead and try. I’d like to see you try to revive that team.”

She stared directly into his eyes and replied, “You are wrong. I’m not that capable, but I will try my best to uncover

the truth.”

He should know that he can’t cover up anything he wants in Yorktown. One day, I’m sure that there will be

something or someone he can’t settle or bribe!

After retracting her gaze, she turned around and walked away. Her retreating figure hurt Edgar deeply. Then, Miles

and Peter quickly walked to him.

“What should we do, Mr. Royden? We just received a lawyer’s letter. I can’t believe that Black Horse Team is so

cocky. Aren’t they challenging us publicly?”

Edgar got up indifferently. “If you guys had done things by the book, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.”

Upon hearing that, Peter was stunned. His initial plan was to suck up to Edgar, yet his attempt had backfired.

Seeing that Edgar was about to leave, Peter quickly chased after him. “In that case, Mr. Royden–”

The door closed, and Miles stopped him. “His intentions are clear enough – please follow the official way of doing

things.”

“I– Okay. I get it.” Peter finally returned to his senses and asked his staff to reply to the lawyer’s letter, saying that

the Racing Association would cooperate with the investigation.

However, this meant that it was an intentional accident, and the mastermind would have to pay the price. In the

car, Edgar rubbed his temples. Just as he was about to relax, Gigi called him.

“Are you free today, Edgar? My magazine cover is out today. I’d like to show it to you.” She wanted to know what

Edgar had been doing.

However, his gaze darkened as he replied briefly, “I’m going to the office. I don’t have time.”

“But–”

She wanted to continue, but the call was cut off. Looking at the dimmed screen, she gritted her teeth in annoyance.

In the car, Linda was sitting right next to her, and she forced a smile to try to console Gigi. “Don’t think too much

into this. It’s probably not Jean that they saw at Imperial Hotel; they might have seen the wrong person. Now that

she’s completely broke, I doubt she could even enter the hotel.”

Linda thought that Gigi would feel better after hearing this, but on the contrary, the latter became even more

furious.

“What if he had invited her over?” Looking at her figure that was getting more plump because of her pregnancy,

she became even more anxious. “Linda, I remember you telling me about the thing that men would get addicted

to.”

Linda froze momentarily before replying vaguely, “Yes, but you are pregnant now, so you can’t sleep with him.”

Even though Gigi was pregnant, she was able to get some advertisement shoots, and her career was doing great

because the investors wanted to be on good terms with Edgar.

They did not choose her because of her sales capabilities, but because of Royden Group.

If Gigi were to lose her baby, her career would be over.

“There’s nothing to worry about! The doctor said that now that we’ve passed the first trimester, we can do it, as

long as we are careful.”

On top of that, I’ve done it with Andy. Everything was good. I can’t make Edgar feel lonely; I must carry out my duty

as his wife.

“Please reconsider it, Gigi.”

Linda was still worried about her, but Gigi had already made up her mind. “Prepare it for me. I want it tonight.”

I won’t let Jean snatch him away, no matter what.

On the other end of the phone, Edgar’s gaze became icier. I’ve really given Gigi too many chances, but she never

mends her ways. If she wasn’t pregnant with my child, I would never interfere with the Racing Association.

However, now that Jean has publicized everything, it’s not a bad thing for me either.

“Miles.”

“Yes, Mr. Royden.” Miles immediately paid attention to his boss’ orders.

“Stop interfering with this incident.”

Miles froze for a moment before saying, “Ms. Eyer…”

“If we interfere too much, the public might suspect us. Just let the lawyers do their job.”

Both of them had already left Yorktown, and the Racing Association will cover some truth in order to protect

themselves. Let’s not think about how things would end; but even if Jean puts in all her effort, as long as Gigi

refuses to admit that she’s related to those people, they can do nothing about it.

“When the fans of Black Horse Team aren’t so agitated, and the Racing Association starts to pressure them, it will

be easier. Ben is the only son in his family; eventually, he will have to go back and inherit his family business. He will

soon forget about motor racing.” Looking at the scenery outside, coldness seeped into Edgar’s eyes. “Jean, you

trusted the wrong person after all.”

Let’s see when will the Ludwig family abandon you.

Miles understood what Edgar meant, and he felt nervous for Jean.

She’s bound to lose to Edgar. Nevertheless, as his personal assistant, I know he treats her differently.

After Sonny and Jean left the Racing Association, Sonny’s lawyer immediately investigated the incident, and

everyone was delighted to hear that.

“Thanks to you, Jean. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known what tricks Mr. Hoffer would play. I’m no match for him at

all.” He scratched his head and smiled.

“Yeah. My mind is full of ways to deal with them, and I even forgot that we could do this.”

Regardless, Jean was not delighted to hear this. “I would actually like to apologize to you guys. It’s because of me

that this happened to the team.”

Since the mastermind is Gigi, I’m sure that she did this because of me. I’ve caused trouble to Ben and the team.

“Because of you?” Her words had not sunk in, but Sonny quickly said, “Not at all! If it weren’t for you, I don’t know

what would happen to the team now.”

“Yeah, Jean. We are all grateful to you for fighting for this opportunity for us.”

Jean felt more relieved after hearing her team member’s words.

Not far from them, a black car sped past. A man in the car took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Mr. Shaw, Mr. Royden had just finished discussions with the Racing Association. Black Horse Team is going to sue

the Racing Association and let their lawyers intervene.”

Andy’s gaze became colder when he heard that through the phone.

He instantly straightened his back as he spoke through gritted teeth. “Keep a close eye on them. If you are found

out, I won’t protect you.”

“Understood, Mr. Shaw.”

Andy put his phone away. He was so angry that he let out a cold chuckle. “Very well, Edgar. Are you going to expose

my entire background?”

After hanging up, he immediately called Gigi.

“Come over.”

She would usually go along with him, but on this day, she was planning to seduce Edgar. Hence, she rejected Andy’s

request.

“Another time, perhaps. I’m really busy today.”
