Edgar and His Destined Wife

Edgar And His Destined Wife Chapter 534

Edgar entered the ward and placed a canister of chicken stew on the table.

“Susan cooked it this morning.You should have some.”

The beautiful porcelain canister contained a single portion of chicken stew, filling the ward with its delectable

fragrance.

Jean was stunned.

“I’m not the one hospitalized here.”

Edgar did not care about that.

After all, he only had eyes for her.

“We will be busy with some matters later.”

Since Edgar said there would be something later, Jean had no reason to doubt him.

Thus, Jean quickly ate the stew.

Meanwhile, Miles also urged Rachel to take a few more bites of food.

Then, they cleared the cutleries and immediately dealt with the discharge procedures.

Robert, the lawyer, was already waiting for them.

Jean and Edgar exchanged glances and understood each other’s thoughts.

Rachel spoke to the lawyer truthfully about what happened that day.She did not betray Jean or damage Royden

Group’s reputation.

By the time George arrived with another lawyer, they had already finished the meeting.

Edgar had readied an escape for Rachel in advance and asked Miles to send her away.

No one could find her until after they resolved the matter.

George knew he was a step too late and was trying to figure out his next plan when unexpected news arrived.

It turned out Gigi became mentally unsound after Xena’s threat and slit her wrist in the bathroom.

“I will never forgive you all if anything happens to her!”

At the same time, Miles asked Edgar, “Mr.Royden, they have readied everything.Should we proceed?”

“Let’s check the situation first.Don’t do anything yet.Edgar stepped on the accelerator.

“Don’t worry.She will be all right.”

Based on his understanding of Gigi’s character, she was not one to give up on life that easily.

However, too many things happened recently.

Jean clenched her fists and forced herself to remain alert.

Edgar made an urgent turn and steered the car into a car park.

“Please let me through.”

Jean rushed out of the car and ran into the hospital.

However, the police had already sealed off the ward.

Edgar frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene before him.He pulled Jean by her arm.

“Let’s enter from there.”

Judging from the present situation, the reporters would pursue Jean as soon as they saw her.

Thus, Edgar led her into the staff elevator and brought her to Gigi’s ward through the back.

Jean did not even have time to wonder why he knew the hospital’s layout so well.

They heard Sheena crying as soon as they were close to the ward.

“I shouldn’t have gone out.I should have stayed and watched her! Xena Sparks came here the day before

yesterday.I’m willing to testify about this”

“She is not as innocent as she looks’

“Gigi, how…How could she be so stupid?”

Beside her stood someone who should not be there, Andrew.

A police officer asked, “Dr.Walterson, you were the first to discover Gigi.What made you think of rushing into the

bathroom?”

Under normal circumstances, a male doctor would be hesitant to enter a female patient’s bathroom.

Andrew’s expression darkened slightly.

“She’s my patient.I know her thoughts well”

The police officer was stunned.

“Are you saying you expected her to attempt suicide before this?”

“No”

Andrew took off his glasses and seemed tired.

“It was my gut feeling.I can’t put it into words.I kept having a sense of bad premonition today.”

The police officer looked at Andrew questioningly.

“Dr.Walterson, do not leave the country.If required, we will need you to cooperate with our investigation.”

Andrew furrowed his brow.

“Do you think I’m a suspect?”

Jean suddenly sensed something was not right as she listened to them.It seemed like this police officer was

deliberately leading Andrew into saying something and triggering his anger.

Edgar also noticed something was wrong.

He stepped forward and asked, “Where is Officer Bunnings?”

“He has a sudden matter and has been transferred to another case”

The police officer turned around.

He saw Edgar and Jean and introduced himself, “I’m in charge of this case from now on.My name is Victor Zahn.”

“Officer Zahn, the thing is…

“I’ve already finished recording the statement.You can now go in to see the patient, but make sure not to agitate

her.”

Victor seemed like a reasonable person.

But somehow, Jean kept feeling something was off about him.

Those eyes seem familiar.

Where have I seen them before? Edgar hugged her shoulder.

“Everything will be all right.”

Jean hummed in response.

She walked a few steps and saw Gigi lying in bed.

Her face was pale, and she gripped a note tightly.

‘Xena is the mastermind behind everything: is she planning to use this to escape from everything? The police

arrested Xena before Gigi regained consciousness.

Before getting into the police car, Xena yelled with all her might, “I’ve been framed.It’s all Gigi’s doing! She set me

up!”

At the same time, Edbert was seated at home and threw a teacup against the floor-to-ceiling window.

“Idiot!”

George stood at the side with his head bowed.His expression was cold.

The situation had derailed their plan.

All of their progress was ruined by this sudden turn of events.

Even Edbert could not stand seeing his carefully cultivated pawn ruined so unexpectedly.

“The public has low opinions about Xena.Furthermore, Gigi’s side is fanning public sentiments.A few of Royden

Group’s business partners start to…”

“I don’t want to hear such news anymore!”

Then, Edbert shouted furiously, “Edgar must have planned all this.”

George remained silent.

Before the incident, Edgar was busy cooperating with the police investigation in Royden Group.

Furthermore, Miles was not in the company.

How did he predict such an incident if he had something to do with this matter? It doesn’t make sense.

Thus, George believed Gigi acted on her own.

Even Jean was unaware of it.

“Call Mr.Blanc here immediately.Previously, we’ve talked about dissolving Eyer Group’s shares.Tell them to hurry

up.I wish to see the result latest by the end of today’ Edbert’s anger remained unquenched.He continued to smash

other things at home.

George remained calm and carried out Edbert’s instructions one by one.

John Blanc seemed reluctant when George called him over.

“Mr.Carlson, can’t you see how the situation is now? Why are you still willing to risk yourself for Mr.Royden?”

John frowned and continued, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.One should prepare a backup plan for oneself in this time

and age’ George’s gaze darkened considerably.

Seeing that George did not respond, John shook his head and mumbled, “How stupid.”

Meanwhile, George stood still by the door even after John walked up the steps.

He pulled out his phone and saw it was three in the afternoon.

Then, he quickly sent out a message.

‘Once Gigi wakes up, send the thing to her: Backup plan? People like me have no backup plans.

One has to go through a trial by fire to become victorious.
