    Chapter 110 A Trap


    Edgar frowned, and his expression turned stern.


    “Other than you, someone else acted against the Eyer family.” Nathan sighed and continued, “I


    discovered it by ident. Then, I checked yourpany’s ount and found some changes that are


    simr to what happened to the Eyer family’s ounts.”


    Edgar instantly understood something. “Are you saying someone is acting against me using the same


    method done against Gary?”


    “Yes. Furthermore, this person likely witnessed the whole process of what you did to the Eyer family


    and replicated it.” Nathan pushed the photos and documents to the side. He was sincerely concerned


    for Edgar.


    Nathan looked at Edgar’s cold expression and advised again, “If it is only a business rival, it won’t be


    concerning. Unfortunately, there are still many things we don’t know.”


    Edgar sneered. “Are you talking about Jean?”


    What can that woman do?


    He continued agitatedly, “I have been keeping her under my thumb since she got out of prison. She


    can’t do anything.”


    “Are you sure?” Nathan sighed. “But you kept showing her mercy. Even though she humiliated you


    many times, you still refused to do anything to her.”


    Those words angered Edgar.


    “Nathan, enough.”


    Nathan shook his head. He had expected Edgar to deny this matter. However, as his friend, all he


    could do was advise him.


    “In that case, you should consider who could be acting against Royden Group. You need to catch this


    person as soon as possible and avoid possible disaster.”


    In the past few years, Edgar had advanced Royden Group rapidly and made many enemies in the


    process. In actuality, Edgar had sensed the things Nathan said, but he did not have any concrete


    evidence before.


    He kept thinking about the matter as he traveled home. Gigi had called him twice, but he did not notice.


    When he reached his residence, he found Gigi waiting for him. She burst into tears and ran to him.


    “Edgar, why didn’t you answer my calls? An anti-fan broke into my apartment. I have no choice but to


    find you.”


    Edgar pushed her away from him and looked at her closely. “Why didn’t you return to Reece


    Residence?”


    That ce should be safer.


    “I… I don’t dare!” Gigi muttered. “If my father finds out, he would worry about me and cause a scene at


    the managementpany. I don’t want to make things worse.”


    Then, she softened her voice and pleaded with Edgar, “Can you please let me stay here for a night?”


    Since it was alreadyte, Edgar nodded. “You can stay in the guest room.”Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Gigi wanted to protest, but she remembered Andy’s advice. She must not seem desperate before


    Edgar. Thus, she put on a smile and replied, “Thank you, Edgar.”


    Then, she went in, took off her coat, and hung it. She did not attempt to get close to Edgar but went to


    the kitchen to get a ss of water.


    When she came into the living room again, she wore a mink fleece sweater and loose velvet pants. Her


    hair was no longer curled withrge waves but was straight and tied up in a low ponytail.


    Her appearance struck Edgar’s heart.


    In the past, Jean was also like this in their detestable marriage. She always appeared calm and would


    never force things between them. Yet, everything she did was to maintain their marriage.


    Even though Edgar snubbed her for two years, she did not waver.


    At this moment, Edgar suddenly realized it was not because Jean did not care. She had cared about


    their marriage too much only to lose it.


    Therefore, she kept waiting in pain and suppressed her feelings.


    Edgar’s gaze wavered, and he stood silent for a long time.


    Seeing that he was unresponsive, Gigi could not continue her act anymore and cleared her throat.


    “Edgar?’


    Edgar regained his senses and walked to Gigi. He took her ss from her hand and led her to sit on


    the couch.


    “If working in the entertainment industry is too tiring, you can rest and take care of your pregnancy.”


    It was not Edgar’s first time telling Gigi to leave the entertainment industry.


    However, she could sense his attitude had changed.


    He is not forcing me to stop working but is discussing it with me.


    Gigi smiled delightedly and could barely contain her excitement. “Edgar, I still wish to have a career.”


    In the past, Gigi would never say something like this. But Andy taught her to imitate Jean. Even though


    Gigi was unwilling, it was the most effective way.


    Edgar cleared his throat. “I will send someone to deal with the anti-fan problem. You can stay with me


    for now. We can discuss it again once the matter is resolved.”


    He got up and patted Gigi’s shoulder.


    It was Gigi’s first time experiencing the warmth of his fingertips.


    “The guest room is on the second floor. Don’t stay up toote.” He went to his study to work after


    saying that.


    Gigi finally released the grin she had been holding back for a long time.


    This tactic works so well!


    In the study, Edgar hesitated for a long time before calling Miles on the phone. “Help me to investigate


    a matter.”


    After instructing Miles, he put down his phone but could not calm down for a long time.


    In the past, Jean had to give up her career in design to marry him. Whenever he closed his eyes, he


    could remember Jean’s furious expression when he met her at the hospital just now.


    Edgar hardened his heart.


    “Whatever you gave up was nothingpared to what I have lost.”


    …


    The following morning, Gigi walked proudly into the studio as if she was the female lead.


    She was in a good mood today because Edgar not only helped her to deal with the anti-fan matter. He


    even assigned a driver to send her here.


    She had not enjoyed such favorable treatment for a long time.


    However, her joy did notst. She noticed a figure and gritted her teeth. “Those men are useless. Why


    is Jean still…”


    Linda warned her immediately, “Don’t say so loud.”


    Gigi widened her eyes in anger.


    At the same time, Jean also noticed Gigi staring at her and turned to look at her calmly.


    That caused Gigi to panic instantly under Jean’s gaze.


    She turned away quickly and grabbed Linda nervously. “Those people will keep the matter a secret,


    right? Please tell me they won’t rat me out!”


    Edgar had just started warming up to Gigi. She would be in trouble if he found out about the matter.


    Linda remained calm and pulled Gigi to her. “I have dealt with everything. Don’t worry. No one will find


    out about the matter.”


    Money is an easy solution to everything in this world.


    Jean was lucky that someone had saved her. Otherwise, she would probably be hiding somewhere and


    crying.


    If those men had taken humiliating photos of her, we could have easily threatened her and made her


    leave Yorktown.


    Then, Linda pulled Gigi along with her and said, “We have a new director today. The lead director is no


    longer that annoying old man, Director Quince. It’s Director Lewis, do you remember him? You met him


    at an eventst year. He is quite fond of you.”


    Gigi remembered Director Lewis and was hesitant.


    “Didn’t people say the director has a scandalous life?”


    “You are now Edgar’s wife. Why would he dare to do anything improper to you? Furthermore, the


    jewelry for today’s photoshoot is gorgeous. If he likes you, he might make you the center model.”


    “Alright, I will give it a try.”


    However, neither Gigi nor Linda was aware that Jean had heard their conversation.
