Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 106 Did You Behave This Way With Him Too?

No one had ever received such honor and recognition. Even Jean was stunned. I have only joined MON & Co. as a

designer for slightly more than a month, and now, they are giving me the right to sign designs in my name?

She could immediately sense jealous gazes directed at her. Then, she looked at Sky’s smile and suddenly

understood something. Although he raised her position, he also secretly backstabbed her.

There was a fierce competition within MON & Co. Furthermore, Jean was constantly embroiled in rumors. Yet, the

usually fair chief designer, Sky, broke the norm and gave her a rare opportunity.

That instantly made her a hated figure among other staff. Jean frowned and believed Sky did it deliberately.

However, she could not understand why. As Jean was still thinking, Sky led Zoe and the others away, leaving Jean

alone at the studio. Someone shouted, “Stay out of the way.”

Then, a group of people carried boxes and walked past Jean coldly. They were all designers who joined earlier than

Jean but did not receive opportunities for advancement even after working hard for a year. They glared at Jean

murderously.

Suddenly, someone approached Jean from behind and bumped into her. The person had deliberately collided hard

with her. Furthermore, the collision touched her injured elbow.

“Oh, excuse me. You should go to the side if you wish to rest. We won’t be responsible for you if you get hurt.”

The person who crashed into Jean did not show a hint of remorse but mocked her. Jean pursed her lips and could

not bear to remain there.

She wanted to head out to clear her mind, but she heard people discussing her scornfully. “How did she even get

into MON & Co. Don’t tell me she slept with someone to get in?”

“How annoying. Why do I have to work in the same company as someone like her? She disgusts me.”

Jean turned around and glared at the people mocking her.

That shut them up, and they left indignantly.

Jean looked away and walked out alone.

Since Sky had announced that she could leave, she had no reason to stay here and let people mock her.

Unfortunately, she could not leave MON & Co.

She needed this opportunity. Otherwise, she would have no chance to fight back. She wanted to seek revenge

against Edgar, but she needed to live too.

She was determined to live a successful life that would become the envy of everyone.

What should I do?

Jean was still deep in her thought when Edgar’s car stopped before her. She only came out of her daze after Miles

called the name.

When she looked up, she found herself looking at Edgar’s intimidating expression.

Jean frowned. Why does have to show up when I don’t want to see him?

“Am I blocking your way? I’ll leave.” Jean was not in the mood to argue with Edgar.

Edgar looked at her and said coldly, “Get in the car. I’ll show you a place.”

“I’m not going.”

Jean refused immediately.

“We are going to Eyer Group.”

Jean paused her step upon hearing those words.

She turned around and got into the car without protest. As the car traveled, she clutched the seatbelt tightly.

After leaving the prison, Jean investigated what happened to Eyer Group but could not find anything. Some said

Eyer Group had closed down after bankruptcy. Others said Eyer Group had been rebranded into a new company.

The original headquarter building was already rented to others long ago.

But Jean could not find anything about the official declaration of bankruptcy for Eyer Group.

It meant Eyer Group still existed, but Edgar hid it somehow.

He hates the Eyer family so much, but he lets me remain in Yorktown. Why? It must be to torture me slowly.

Jean smirked. I suppose the day has come.

As she expected, Edgar brought her to a secluded old factory area. Everything looked dilapidated and on the verge

of breaking down. It was the most run-down area in Yorktown.

One could also see many flies all over the street and smell a strong stench in the air.

Once the car stopped, Jean looked at the sign in front. It was a crumbling wooden plaque with the words ‘Garrison

Group’.

Such a grand name did not fit the reality of the place.

Jean frowned and asked, “What is the meaning of this?”

“This is Eyer Group, but it has been transformed into a trash collection company. All the garbage in Yorktown is sent

here,” Edgar explained casually and glanced at Jean.

However, Jean did not show the reaction he expected.

Jean remained calm.

She turned to him and asked, “Is that all?”

Then, she sneered and said, “In that case, I have to thank you, Mr. Royden. While I was in prison, you spent so

much effort managing my family’s business. What’s so bad about a trash collection company? Speaking of trash,

isn’t your car now parked on a dumpsite?”

She retorted fearlessly.

In the next moment, Edgar gripped her chin tightly.

Her expression turned cold in intense pain. After a while, she smirked and said, “We have been divorced for more

than a year. It seems you have learned to hit a woman.”

“You think I don’t dare?”

Edgar forced out those words through gritted teeth.

“Of course you dare. You are Edgar Royden, a treacherous man who repays good with evil. Is there anything that

you won’t do?” Although her tone sounded relaxed, her bright eyes were full of contempt and mockery.

Edgar felt irritated as he looked into her eyes.

Within a few minutes, Jean’s reaction became imprinted in his mind. He was dissatisfied with it.

Did she gain confidence after being with Ben?

Is that why she dares to mock me?

He stared at her face for a long time before loosening his grip. By now, Jean’s chin had turned swollen and

throbbed painfully. She retreated a few steps and stood with her back against the car door.

Then, Edgar said, “Time to head back.”

Is he letting me go that easily?

Jean thought to herself. No, this is not Edgar’s style. He never shows mercy to anyone.

Jean glanced behind and saw the wooden plaque fall. The sight revived the hatred in her heart.

Half an hour later, Edgar’s car stopped at the studio entrance.

Edgar did not say anything but kept watching her.

Suddenly, he ordered, “Strip.”

“What?” Jean was stunned.

Then, Edgar rolled down the car window and took off his jacket. His gaze turned cold as he saw her shocked

expression. “Do you want me to help you?”

He dragged Jean to himself and pressed his body on her.

Jean widened her eyes in shock. “Edgar, you’re insane!”

The driver immediately got out of the car and walked some distance away.

At this moment, Edgar restrained her wrists and smiled coldly. “The scene from last night was not violent enough.

Didn’t you wish to ruin Royden Group’s reputation? You will have to pay with your body.”

Edgar was a man, so he had nothing to lose.

Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Jean.

Edgar leaned down and kissed her neck fiercely.

“You crazy b*stard…”

Jean felt humiliated.

Her hands shook as she kept clawing at Edgar’s shoulders. “Scoundrel!”

Edgar’s breath quickened, and his heart wavered as her scent filled his nostrils.

Then, his eyes burned with fury. “Did you also behave like this with Ben last night?”
