Chapter 85
Chapter 85 Fearless
Jean didn’t expect to see Edgar in the car. If his wedding ceremony went well this morning, he should
be staying with Gigi at home now. What is he doing here?
Jean frowned while looking at the man in the car. She couldn’t believe what would happen if she got in
the car then. “Mr. Royden, why are you here?” She forced a smile and yawned, “I’m very tired today. If
you don’t mind, I’ll…”
Edgar got impatient, and he said in a hoarse voice. “The police have started to investigate Carls’ car
ident. Do you want to be prosecuted?”
Jean was shocked. So fast? It seemed that Sam had no power to stop the news from spreading.
Although Jean couldn’t figure out Edgar’s purpose foring here, she still got into his car. The
perfume in his car smelled nice. Jean vaguely remembered that Edgar hated this smell in the past.
Edgar seemed to be a different person. Or maybe, I have never truly gotten to know him. Jean
narrowed her eyes and exined, “I’m not guilty. I just don’t want to be ndered by others.”
Edgar chuckled. Jean’s heart was beating fast. Jean knew that Edgar had no evidence of her being
involved in the ident. So, she reminded herself not to spill the beans herself!
Edgar looked at her determined face and tapped his fingers on his knees. After a few seconds, he said
coldly, “The Royden Group initially didn’t want to cooperate with the Reece Group, so I’m here to thank
you for all the fuss you made. I didn’t waste a tiny bit of effort to get things done.” Jean was stunned.
Howe…
Losing the chance to cooperate with the Royden family was equivalent to losing half of their profit.
Sam would never have given up the chance to cooperate with the Royden family.
The most important thing was that unteral termination of the contract would inevitably damage the
company’s reputation. Edgar had always valued hispany’s reputation, so he should be
apprehensive about getting rid of the Reece family.
Edgar said slowly. He was observing Jean’s movement.
“Is this result different from what you expected?” Edgar grabbed her wrist and warned her. “I no longer
have patience with you.”
He didn’t kill her just because of that pendant.
After all, she was Gary’s daughter. So, he had no sympathy for her at all.

He clenched his wrists and stared murderously at Jean.
However, Jean instantly changed her expression. She shoved Edgar’s hand away, “Who are you trying
to scare? Call the police and arrest me if you have evidence that the car ident was caused by me.”
The determined look on Jean’s face shocked Edgar.
He let go of Jean’s hand.
Although Jean had been one of bored indifference, she had never stared so coldly at him.
The two of them stared coldly at each other. Jean then rolled her eyes at Edgar impatiently, “If you
have nothing else to say, please open the door. I’m not as free as you.”
Edgar had no choice but to instruct the driver.
After the driver unlocked the car, Jean immediately got out of the car and walked away without looking
back.
She quickly ran upstairs and opened the door as fast as she could. She then quietly stood by the
window and looked downstairs. Luckily, Edgar has left.
She went weak at her knees and sat down on the ground.
She clenched her fists tightly, trying to recall what had just happened. She then pped her thigh and
said, “Good for you, Jean. Just treat him the same way when you see him next time!”
Jean just had to fight for herself.
She opened the refrigerator and finished a can of coke. She then hummed a song while going into the
bathroom. A few minutester, she had forgotten about her conversations with the nasty Edgar.
A weekter…
All interns and designers were eligible to participate in MON & Co.’s jewellery designpetition.
Jean went to thepany with a notebook in her hand, only to find out that everyone was bringing a
tablet with them. They sat together in groups of three to five people.
Jean went early in the morning, but she still couldn’t get a seat.
Luckily, Sally had helped her reserve a seat, “Jean, this way!”
Jean quickly rushed over and began asking around about the designpetition’s topic, only to realize
that no one had any idea about it.
“We’ve been here since five in the morning, but until now, we have no single clue of thepetition
format.”
“I only got one information. The preliminary round result wille out today.” Sally took a quick nce
at the people in the hall and sighed in frustration.
There are at least hundreds of designers here, but only twenty of us will be qualified for the finals.
It will be a tough match.
However, MON & Co. was one of the best designpanies in their town. No matter how cruel the
competition was, there would always be that one person who would fight their best to get the spot.
“I heard that several chief designers would be the judge of our designpetition. Plus, I heard a VIP
is the sponsor of this designpetition.”
Jean wore her Bluetooth ear pods while the others were gossiping about thepetition.
“All yers, you may enter the arena now.” Anna called out the names of all the participants one by
one. She obviously changed her tone when she called Jean.
Anna also treated Jean better than usual.
YES！
“Please be careful of the stairs in front.” Anna gently reminded.
Jean was surprised by her unusual behaviour.
“Number ny-eight.”
Jean sat down with her bag in her hands. There were a total of one hundred participants.
She took a deep breath and looked at the person in front of her. Her heart was beating fast. She felt as
if she was sitting for an exam.
Since all the participants were splitted into two rooms, there should be more than one judge.
Monica was discharged from the hospital yesterday. If she was the judge, Jean would probably be less
nervous.
Jean prayed silently in her heart.
I really need this opportunity!
‘Squeak’.
The door was pushed open. A slender woman walked in. Monica was coughing, but she still looked
beautiful. She waved to all the participants and greeted, “Good morning, everyone.”
Yes!
Jean clenched her fists in excitement.
It seems that God really listened to my prayer. But the next second, she went deathly pale.
The special judge who came with Monica was none other than her dumb ex-husband, Edgar.
