Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 62 Die Together

Jean sat in the car silently. She looked at her phone and glanced out of the windows several times

before asking nonchalantly, “Aren’t we there yet?”

Ally quickly replied, “I think we are almost there. I’m not familiar with the region around here. Let me

look at the map – oh no, I forgot to bring my phone with me.” “I see.” Jean passed her phone over. “You

can use mine.”

“Can I? Can you tell me your passcode then?” Ally asked innocently. “There’s no passcode at all.” Jean

cocked her head toward the window. “Just go ahead and use it to check our location. Let me know

once we’ve arrived.”

“Sure. Just take a good rest while I handle this.” Ally smiled widely. As soon as Jean closed her eyes,

she immediately unlocked the phone.

Around ten minutes later, with several stops in between, Jean mumbled, “We should almost be there,

right?”

She opened her eyes after that, but she realized that only she and the driver was left in the car. Ally

had disappeared with her phone and her bag.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk! How was she brought up by the Sans family? So what if she’s highly educated? She’s still

an idiot after all.”

She turned around and gazed at the darkened surroundings. It was late evening now, and mist started

to seep into the air around her. For a foreign traveler, it was easy for her to lose her way.

Ally must have thought that I can’t speak the local language, so she took my phone away and bribed

the driver and some fighters. Unfortunately, I’m Jean – I’m not an idiot like her.

“Hey, send me back,” she instructed in French, sounding like a native speaker.

As she once prepared to study abroad at this place, she had learned the language here. Unexpectedly,

it came handy on this day.

The driver froze for a brief moment after hearing her voice, but he quickly swore and slammed his foot

on the accelerator pedal.

This is my turf, and she is just a weak woman. What can she do to me?

Thinking about the money he was about to get, and Jean’s beautiful face and body, the driver became

even more excited.

However, a second later, a cold and sharp knife was pressed against his throat. It was not just a mere

threat from Jean; she slid the knife across his skin harshly.

“You’re nuts!” the driver yelled.

She gave a little smile before replying calmly, “Send me back to the hotel. You will get every cent she

promised you. Otherwise, we shall both die here.”

He looked at the rearview mirror and saw her vacant, cold eyes. Then, he gulped and turned around.

“Let go–”

As soon as he opened his mouth, she pressed the blade closer to his throat. With a cold chuckle, she

warned, “You’d better not play any tricks with me and drive faster. Otherwise, you might die from blood

loss before even reaching the hotel.”

The driver’s fingers trembled as he forfeited his thoughts of getting away from her assault.

When they were just two turns away from the hotel, Jean asked him to call Ally. “Ask her to come out,

and I’ll let you go.”

As more blood flowed from his neck, he begged her fearfully, “Can you let me go to the hospital first?”

“You’d better pray that Ally comes out soon. Once she enters the car, I’ll let you go.”

Her voice was void of warmth, as though she was not afraid that he might die in the car.

The driver closed his eyes in agony and held on until Ally entered the car. It was only then that he got a

handkerchief from Jean.

“Use it to cover your wounds. You’d better not die in front of me; you would dirty my sight.”

The driver had no energy left to retaliate. Instead, he leaned against the chair. As soon as Ally got into

the car, he immediately jumped out and hailed a cab to the hospital.

Since it was quite dark, Ally could not make out the figure.

“What else–” she began her question in French in annoyance.

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Jean holding the driver’s phone, and the blood on her

hands.

“Aaah!”

She shrieked and stumbled out of the car, and almost got knocked by an incoming car.

Jean stuck her head out and smiled at her coldly, with a tinge of ruthlessness on her beautiful face. “A

coward like you actually dared to bribe others to kill me?”

“N-No, I didn’t! You must have misunderstood the situation! Jean, I also met a bad guy just now. It took

me a great deal of effort to escape from him!”

“Is that so?” Jean yawned and dragged Ally up from the ground. With every word clearly enunciated,

she asked, “How come you have the mood to change into a beautiful dress then?”

Ally trembled as Jean shoved the blade that she had used to hurt the driver into Ally’s hands.

Though injured, Ally did not dare to yelp in pain. Instead, she looked at Jean with great trepidation as

she broke down into tears.

“Jean, I’m sorry. I know my mistakes now. I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. I-I-I’m just envious

of you and Ben’s relationship. Please forgive me just this once. I will never do it again!”

Jean blinked at her. “I don’t believe a single word from you.”

Ally shook her head in fear. “No, please believe me! How would I dare to attack you again?”

Her gaze shot to the car. In a trembling voice, she asked, “Where did the driver go?”

“I have no clue, but you can ask the nearest hospital if anyone died on the road because they had lost

too much blood.” With a smile, she wiped the blood on her hands on Ally’s dress.

Then, she gave a clear warning. “I’ll let you go just this once on Ben’s behalf.”

With that, she walked into the hotel.

Even though her clothes were quite crumpled, she had already wiped the blood from her hands away.

On the other hand, Ally, who was still standing outdoors, had blood on her dress with a blade in her

hands, looking as though she had been through hell.

Not long after Jean returned to her room, Anna went to knock on her door.

“What’s up?”

Anna looked at her in surprise. “Ally said she couldn’t find you, so I came here to take a look.”

“Oh, I lost my phone.” She smiled back at her. “Is there anything I can help you with?”

“We are responsible for shooting the videos for several female celebrities, and they are also staying in

this hotel. Please go verify with them the jewelry type and amount. Here’s a name list.”

If it weren’t for the lack of staff, such an errand that would expose her would never land on Jean.

After taking the name list, her gaze fell on the last name.

“I’ll do my best. Thanks, Anna,” she replied with a smile.

Looking at her taking the name list into the elevator, Anna frowned. “Why do I have a foreboding

premonition?”
