Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536

It was said that the calm before the storm was the scariest. However, the upheaval in the business circles in the following three days was even more frightening.

Edgar’s various measures throughout the company soon showed results.

The directors and managers close to Edbert did not dare to show up in the company. They also refused to answer any call from George or Edbert.

Despite George pulling strings, he could not get Xena released from the detention center.

At this moment, Edbert sat in a black car and looked ahead coldly.

Hmph, my nephew finally wises up.” He glared at the steel door. “I shouldn’t have let Jean leave that place alive.”

Previously, he planned to keep her as his pawn for future use.

But now, he regretted his decision.

George sat in the front passenger seat and patiently waited for Edbert’s next instruction.

“Make sure her mouth is sealed. This matter shall end here.” Edbert slowly shut his eyes and decided to remove Xena.

George seemed to have expected this.

Sure. I’ll get it done straight away.”

George opened the door and got out of the car.

Once the door closed, Edbert smirked coldly and said, “Tony, I need you to keep an eye on that fellow. Nothing has been going well recently. I don’t want someone to stab me in the back suddenly.” “Yes, sir,” the driver answered and drove the car toward the hospital.

The ward was spacious, so Edbert moved around in his electric wheelchair and arrived outside Gigi’s room. However, bodyguards were keeping watch, so he could not get near.

Dr. Walterson, the patient in room number 502…”

Please wait a moment. I’ll check on her first.” Andrew came over as soon as he got out of the surgery room.

The nurse paused and watched Andrew enter Gigi’s room before muttering, “Dr. Walterson is so attentive to Gigi. I don’t see him treating the other patients this well.”

Edbert happened to hear the nurse.

He glared at Gigi’s door and whispered, “This game is not over yet.”

It was a quiet night.

Jean had a nightmare of being chased by a crowd.

Their hands were like talons reaching out for her. She could not escape them no matter how she ran. In the end, she woke up in her bed, covered in sweat and gasping for breath.

She glanced at the dim bedside lamp before getting out of bed to head downstairs for a glass of water.

However, as soon as she opened the bedroom door, she heard Julia talking to someone on the phone.

Haven’t I done well enough for this matter? She seems so tired these days. How can I return?”

Jean paused and slowly released the door handle before quietly returning to bed.

Once it was quiet outside, Jean slowly went out of the room. She drank a mouthful of warm water and felt a pleasant cooling sensation down her throat. After downing two glasses of water, the tight feeling in her chest finally eased.

Julia heard noises and went to the kitchen. “You’re awake?”

Jean hummed in response and immediately turned around. “I was thirsty, so I came downstairs to drink some water.”

She gripped her glass and hesitated. But when she was about to speak, Julia yawned and said, “You should head back to your room and sleep. It’s very late. If you’re hungry, you will have to bear with it. You will gain weight easily if you eat at this hour. Then, your baby might become too heavy, making giving birth difficult.”

Sure.”

Jean watched until Julia returned to her room and gave a long sigh.

Her phone screen lit up. It was a message from Edgar.

Tve readied everything and will come to pick you up tomorrow.’

Jean looked at the screen until it went out. Then, she turned it on with a tap to reread the message.
