Chapter 107 Unexpected Gain
Jean could not understand what he meant. All she could think was to escape from his embrace, but it was already too late.
Her clothes were torn and messy. Although only her shoulders were revealed, anyone who saw her from the window could guess what had happened.
Furthermore, they would not think that Edgar forced himself on her. Instead, they would assume she had shamelessly offered her body to him.
However, Edgar did not do anything other than leave marks on her face and neck before shoving her to the side. Edgar’s heart was beating rapidly.
He had no choice but to force himself to stop. Otherwise, he feared he could not resist and force himself on her right in the car…
Jean took a deep breath. People had begun watching outside the car.
She looked down and noticed Edgar’s jacket at the side. Thus, she grabbed it, put it on, and left the car without a backward glance.
Edgar clenched his fists unconsciously as he watched her leave.
He felt a little sadness in his heart and wondered what Jean was planning.
Unexpectedly, Jean entered the studio and faced those who were watching her straight on. She borrowed a shirt from the props and threw Edgar’s high-end jacket into the bin.
“That suit jacket must have cost more than ten thousand.”
“What is her relationship with Mr. Royden? If I’m not mistaken, she was the reason he postponed his wedding with Gigi twice.”
“Does this mean she might become Mrs. Royden again?”
Mrs. Royden?
Jean felt those two words were the worst insult anyone could say to her.
At the same time, she cursed Edgar in her heart a million times.
As she was thinking about how to pay Edgar back for what he did this time, a figure suddenly appeared before her. It was Gigi’s manager, Linda.
She yelled at Jean furiously, “Gigi wants to see you. Come with me!”
Her voice reverberated against the studio walls and even disturbed an ongoing photo session.
Gigi pulled connections and got herself appointed as Aveline Magazine’s model starting today. Although she was not the lead model, she arrived at the studio early in the morning.
Unfortunately, she witnessed Jean and Edgar from her MPV just now.
It made her so furious that she wished to kill Jean. Thus, she immediately ordered Linda to bring Jean to her.
Jean glanced at Linda but refused to move.
Linda gritted her teeth and called Gigi’s bodyguard over to drag Jean by force.
The sight prompted people to discuss amongst themselves.
“Look at that. She is about to be punished for seducing a married man.”
“From what I see, Gigi is incredibly patient and bore this indignity for so long. If it were me, I would have made Jean’s life in Yorktown a living hell.”
“I believe Gigi might not be able to bully Jean as you think. Have you all forgotten what happened previously? Quick, get back to work.”
Zoe followed behind Sky and watched people dragging Jean away.
Furthermore, she noticed Sky smiling, and his eyes gleamed cunningly.
Zoe asked softly, “Should I bring Jean back?”
After all, Jean was an employee of MON & Co. It would be troublesome if anything happened to her.
“No need. The show has only just begun. I did not expect her to do this well and make Edgar flustered.” Then, Sky mumbled to himself, “If I had known, I would have taken action two years ago.”
Zoe could not understand what he was saying, but she could sense ruthlessness in him.
Suddenly, she became too fearful to speak.
In the company, Sky always gave the impression of a prominent and genius designer who was humble enough to be kind to everyone. Furthermore, his designs were guaranteed to cause a stir in the domestic and international design scene. Thus, everyone in MON & Co. admired him.
Only a few people who had been Sky’s assistant knew how terrifying he was.
He could only be described as a madman in the design industry.
Zoe was one of the few who knew about this. Although she felt troubled by some of the things Sky ordered her to do, she did not dare to tell anyone.
She needed to make a living in this industry, so she did not dare to anger him.
Furthermore, Sky seemed to have a powerful background. Although she didn’t know anything, she knew he was not to be messed with. Otherwise, why would a jewelry designer dare to target Edgar, one of the most powerful man in the business world?
Zoe looked away. An insignificant person like me has no power to help Jean.
Meanwhile, in the MPV, the bodyguards restrained Jean while Gigi slapped her a few times.
She gritted her teeth and glared at Jean. “Edgar has abandoned you. Why do you insist on seducing him? What were you doing with him in the car? You…”
She slapped Jean again.
This time, she used all her strength. The impact hurt Jean’s head and caused her ears to buzz.
Furthermore, blood began to flow from the corner of her mouth.
“You are desperate for a man, aren’t you? I’ll get men to play with you.”
Gigi pulled out her phone and dialed Andy’s number. “Find me a few virile men and send them here now.”
Andy was having a meeting in his company.
He thought Gigi was flirting with him and said with a smile, “Why so impatient? I’ll go find you tonight.”
“I’m not looking for you. Just arrange the men for me as I said.”
Jean heard the conversation and was confused for a moment.
The man on the other end is not Edgar.
It seems I accidentally found a secret.
Gigi was blinded by fury and did not notice her mistake. She threw her phone and ordered Linda, “Find me a few more phones. I want to make video recordings.”
Linda thought Gigi only wanted to scare Jean and did not expect her to harm Jean for real. Thus, Linda panicked and persuaded Gigi, “Gigi, you have a photo session soon. Let’s dump her here for now.”
“No!”
Gigi shouted arrogantly, “You two pull off her clothes!”
Those words were directed at the two bodyguards.
Although they were her bodyguards, they were assigned to her by her management company. We can help her restrain a person, but pulling off her clothes is too much.
The bodyguards hesitated. The task was not part of their job scope.
If others found out about it, they could lose their jobs, and Gigi would not care.
Gigi was furious when the bodyguards remained still. “Do it now! Are you all deaf?”
Jean, who kept her head down all this while, suddenly said, “Gigi, your lover called you.”
Gigi did not argue back but glanced toward her phone. In the next second, she realized she had fallen for Jean’s trick and found Jean smiling mockingly.
“I’m curious to see Edgar’s expression once he found out you cheated on him.”
Gigi’s action just now confirmed my suspicion.
She is an idiot.
