Chapter 138 Humiliation
Gigi’s rejection made Andy furious. In the past, she would come and go whenever I asked her to. Yet, I can’t even see her now?
“Are you meeting Edgar tonight?” he guessed tentatively. Apart from Edgar, he could not think of another man whom she would be so interested in that she would disregard his pride.
“Yeah, I already have a date with him…” she replied as she picked out her clothes. I’m going to make everything perfect, and he will be irresistible in my arms. Then, I can completely block Jean’s path. She should stop fantasizing about things that don’t belong to her!
Andy let out a cold chuckle. “In that case, go ahead.” With that, he hung up the phone. After thinking about it, he called his subordinates. “Find out where Gigi is going tonight.”
I have already lost to Edgar at work. I can’t lose her to him. After all, it’s my child that she’s carrying!
…
On the way to the hospital, Jean bought some fruits for Ben while thinking about how she was going to break the news about the Racing Association to him.
At this moment, she received a call from Peter. At first, she did not want to pick it up, but the ringtone did not stop.
“Ms. Eyer? I know things did not go well during our conversation just now, and I’m very sorry about that. Do you have time for us to meet? We will provide all the evidence.” Would he be so cooperative?
She stopped at the crossroads and replied, “Mr. Hoffer, we have entrusted everything to our lawyers. Please contact them directly.”
“Oh, no, Ms. Eyer. I’m sure you understand our industry. If the incident is blown out of proportion, it will bring no benefit to us or the teams. I think it’s better if you come over. If we can find a solution, we don’t have to go to court.”
After some persuasion from him, she asked, “Where to?”
If we can settle the incident today, my efforts won’t be in vain.
After hearing the location, she checked it with her phone. Since it was not far from where she was currently at, she sent the location to Sonny and asked him to bring the lawyers along.
With the fruits in her hands, she called a taxi and went there.
However, she hesitated when she stood in front of the high end hotel, as it was not a suitable location for such a discussion.
After pacing around the entrance several times, a hotel staff came to ask, “Are you Ms. Eyer?”
When she nodded, he quickly smiled at her. “I’ll show you in.”
After walking past the opulently designed lobby, she was brought to a room on the second floor. “Please wait here for a moment.”
“Aren’t they here yet?” She frowned. He asked me first, yet he’s not here yet! How ridiculous!
“Yes. Just give them some more time.” With that, he closed the door.
Feeling bored, Jean placed the fruits aside and planned to call Ben to ask about his operation.
However, as soon as she unlocked her phone, she heard some moans from the room next to her.
“Just this time. Hug me!”
She was startled by the moan that was full of desire. Are the walls are so lousy at this luxurious hotel?
She looked to the wall on her left where she thought the voice came from.
However, in the next second, she was even more shocked by what she overheard.
“Edgar, I know it’s difficult, I’ll help you. Just hug me close.”
Is it another man with the same name? Or could it be that Edgar and Gigi are in the next room?
Soon, she could not hear any more sounds from the room.
She could not help chuckling coldly to herself. Edgar couldn’t wait at all, huh? He doesn’t care that Gigi is still pregnant to do that kind of stuff here…
Suddenly, she recalled how he pinched her chin the other night.
After a moment of hesitation, a plan came to her.
She opened the door and walked along the corridor to take a picture of the room number. Just as she was about to send the picture to the paparazzi, the door suddenly opened, revealing a dark room within.
A strong arm suddenly encircled her, and she could smell Edgar’s scent.
“Let me go!” she complained. “Are you out of your mind? Look at who I am!”
I’m not his beloved, Gigi.
Edgar’s gaze darkened, but he could not hide his lust.
“Jean,” he said clearly.
Taking advantage of her utter bewilderment, he kissed her, and it did not stop there.
No matter how much she struggled, he did not let go of her.
The next morning, Jean was woken up by his phone’s alarm.
Thinking back to the events that transpired the night before, Jean felt humiliated. She could not believe that she sent herself to him.
Could it be that Peter and him planned this out?
At this moment, Edgar also woke up. Looking at her fair shoulders, he was slightly dazed. His throat tightened as he turned off the alarm.
“Last night…” his throat hurt as he spoke.
Last night, I really lost control. What did Gigi give me? Just when I needed someone, Jean appeared.
However, he felt a sense of relief. Luckily, it was her. If it were Gigi or another woman, I would be so uncomfortable. But Jean… I can’t believe I still miss how she smells even though it’s been more than a year.
Smack!
She slapped him. “How despicable!”
After that, she got up and took her clothes.
“I thought you were different from the rich young men at Imperial Hotel the other day. But after seeing this, you are probably just better at putting on a show. You’re just a wolf in sheep’s clothes. How disgusting!”
Edgar’s lips pressed into a hard line.
“Jean.”
“I clearly heard your voice and Gigi’s voice last night. Why did you have to involve me? You clearly knew it was me yesterday!” she yelled uncontrollably.
She tried to recall what happened yesterday, but she could only remember that her struggles were futile. Then, she caught a scent and passed out.
After hearing her words, his gaze darkened.
Truth be told, even he found it hard to accept the current situation. Even though he knew that it was Jean, he still did it with her. It was not to vent his anger or to punish her, but he truly wanted her.
There were countless women at Yorktown, but she was the only one he wanted.
With that thought in mind, he stood up and tried to pull her to him.
However, she was ahead of him; she took a fruit knife from the table and said, “If you get any closer, I will–”
“If it would appease you, go ahead.” A sharp look flitted across his eyes. At this point, Edgar no longer wanted to deceive himself.
It was true that they hated each other, but the Eyer family was not around anymore, and Gary Eyer had paid the price. Jean had also lost a few years of her youth because of him.
Edgar could no longer suppress the emotion in his eyes. He wanted to give himself a chance to see if Jean was the woman he thought she was.
