Chapter 21 You Scumbag
Edgar didn’t elaborate further. Jacob couldn’t ask any more questions.
Noticing Jacob’s worry, Miles said softly, “You won’t need to worry, Jacob. We will handle the Reece family.”
Jacob nodded. “Very well. We’ll do as Mr. Royden says.”
Back in the interrogation room.
The door opened, and the female officer appeared. “Alright, you can come out now. We’re done here.”
Although Jean was frustrated, she followed the officer out.
But she felt a cold gaze behind the mirror that was particularly familiar.
She looked back at the mirror as she headed out.
Edgar met her eyes through the mirror.
Jean couldn’t see him, but Edgar saw the headstrong spirit in her.
His heart throbbed. For the first time, Edgar averted his eyes from Jean’s gaze.
Jean was being led away.
Yet his heart wouldn’t recover.
It was as if something was different from before.
She had lost her child.
Their child.
Perhaps that was enough to atone for a life.
Edgar shut his eyes and swallowed his emotions. He left the room and headed outside.
Jacob, along with a few officers, sent Edgar out. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The loud screeching of a brake attracted their attention. A man stepped out of a red racecar.
Ben was filled with fury. He swung a punch toward Edgar.
“Edgar Royden! When will you let her go? She hasn’t had a day of peace ever since she met you! Do you not have a conscience?!”
In Ben’s eyes, Gigi and Edgar were a repulsive couple.
Edgar dodged the punch and observed him coldly.
Is this the man she’s living with? He’s just a reckless rich kid without any real achievement. And she trusts him to protect her?
“Who is it, fighting in front of the police station!”
Jacob gathered his men to hold Ben back.
Edgar held out his arm. “It’s alright, Jacob. It’s not a big deal.”
He scanned Ben coldly.
“I’ve already settled Jean’s issue. What can you help her with when you can’t even handle your own mother?”
Edgar left with his assistant after taunting him.
“Edgar Royden! You scumbag!”
Ben shouted after him.
Jean stopped in her tracks. Was she imagining things?
