Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 378

Chapter 378 Don’t Speak Nonsense

The matter continued to worsen. Shortly after Jean left Mason Residence and was traveling home in her car, she received a call from the police station. “Ms. Eyer, can you come to the police station as soon as possible?”

“What’s the matter?” Jean frowned and stepped on the brake. The traffic light flashed red before her. She heard the police officer say, “Is Edgar Royden your ex-husband? We believe we have found evidence that he is lost at sea. We hope you can come here to identify them.”

Jean’s hands shook as she held the steering wheel. “Ms. Eyer, we hope you can assist us in finding the lost ship as soon as possible.”

“We can only find personal items suspected to be Mr. Royden’s near the relevant sea area. We cannot contact his assistant, so we urgently need your help.”

“Ms. Eyer, are you there?”

Jean was stunned with shock. Her eyes were dazed, and she forgot to step on the accelerator.

The other drivers behind her sounded their horns impatiently.

“Ms. Eyer?”

“Yes, I’m here.” Jean stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the intersection. “I’ll go there immediately.”

Two years ago, she frequently went to the police station and hospital to deal with the Eyer family’s lawsuit and matters relating to her father’s passing. After so long, she did not expect to have to go there for Edgar this time.

“Ms. Eyer, please look at them closely. Do these things belong to Edgar Royden?”

The police placed a few things all over the table.

They were men’s personal items such as a belt, a watch, and a wallet containing cash.

“We can’t find any identification document in the wallet. Thus, we need you to look at them carefully.”

Jean looked at the items on the table and shook her head. “From what I see, none of these belonged to Edgar.”

“Are you sure?” The police officers looked at each other. “Can you look at them closely again?”

“If his things are here, we can narrow down the search area. It will aid in search and rescue.”

Jean shook her head. “I’m sure none of these is his. You can ask another person to identify them.”

But the two police officers remained unconvinced, prompting Jean to frown helplessly. “You must have known my relationship with Edgar. We have been divorced for nearly two years. Normally, I can’t identify his things.”

“Officer Landon, can you talk to Ms. Eyer? I will take these things away.”

Then, the police officer brought Jean to another meeting room. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Officer Landon was the one who called her just now. “Ms. Eyer, Edgar recently named you as the insurance beneficiary with a significant sum. That’s why we asked you to come here.”

“He named me as beneficiary?”

Jean was confused.

…

Her mind was still dazed as she walked out of the police station.

Why did Edgar name me as a beneficiary of his insurance? Furthermore, why has Miles disappeared?

She had only taken a few steps when a luxury car stopped beside her.

Someone inside opened the car door and shouted at her, “Get in if you want to know where Edgar is.”

She had no chance to refuse and was dragged into the car.

It was dark inside, and the interior had been specially altered. Jean could not see the people in the car. She could only vaguely sense that there were at least three people.

“Don’t move. Our boss would like to see you.”

Jean pursed her lips. Her gaze darkened.

“Your boss is called Shaw, right?”

Her words changed the attitude of the people who abducted her.

Jean sneered. She did not expect her random guess to be correct.

In the present situation, Andy was probably the only person who would dare to act so blatantly. As she expected, the men soon brought her to a suite in a luxurious hotel.

A few beautiful ladies surrounded Andy as he relaxed on the couch and ate fruits. His devious gaze was full of cruel intentions. He smiled as soon as he saw Jean. “The police are hardworking. They found so much useless evidence so soon. How did it go? Did you recognize anything from Edgar?”

Jean looked at him coldly but did not say a word.

Andy could not carry out the schemes he had prepared against her as long as she behaved calmly.

Andy looked at Jean and saw the unbothered expression on her beautiful face. There was not a hint of panic or fear. She did not even seem nervous.

He could not tell what she was thinking at all.

“You are completely different from Gigi.”

Jean’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed he already knew the secret.

Andy waved his hand and dismissed the beautiful ladies surrounding him.

“If the police looked for you again, you should say all those things belonged to Edgar, understand?” Andy smiled viciously. “Otherwise, I will make him and Gigi disappear from the face of the earth.”

Jean looked at him and frowned slightly.

Andy saw that he had finally gotten a reaction from her. Thus, his smile became even more apparent. “Don’t doubt my words because Edgar is in my hand. He never boarded that ship.”

His bloodshot eyes were full of malice. “If you dare to ruin my plan, I will make Eyer Group disappear. You won’t want to see your father’s life effort go to waste, right?”

His words were infuriating.

Everyone said Andy was sued by Royden Group and had many debts. He would also be kicked out of Royden Group’s board of directors.

However, he seemed to live extravagantly, unlike the rumors.

Jean looked at him coldly.

“Andy, you have gotten the wrong person here. Edgar’s survival has nothing to do with me. I also don’t care about Gigi. Since things already happened, it’s pointless to pursue the matter.”

Jean curved the corner of her lips and sneered. “Furthermore, you should know how much I hate Edgar. You can do whatever you please to him. I don’t care.”

She turned around to leave after saying that.

Even though Andy kept yelling in the room, she walked forward determinedly.

Once she turned a corner and walked into an elevator, she finally let go of her tension.

Her heart continued to beat wildly.

Could Edgar and Gigi be under Andy’s control? Is that why the rescuers cannot find anything?

Jean felt her heart sink, and her legs became weak. She looked up and saw the sky darkening. It was covered with gray clouds, just like her feelings.

She could almost hear Officer Landon’s voice in her ears.

“Ms. Eyer, if we don’t find that ship soon, everyone in it will be in danger. We might even lose the chance to rescue them alive.”
