Chapter 21 You Scumbag
- Edgar didn't elaborate further. Jacob couldn't ask any more questions.
- Noticing Jacob's worry, Miles said softly, "You won't need to worry, Jacob. We will handle the Reece family."
- Jacob nodded. "Very well. We'll do as Mr. Royden says."
- Back in the interrogation room.
- The door opened, and the female officer appeared. "Alright, you can come out now. We're done here."
- Although Jean was frustrated, she followed the officer out.
- But she felt a cold gaze behind the mirror that was particularly familiar.
- She looked back at the mirror as she headed out.
- Edgar met her eyes through the mirror.
- Jean couldn't see him, but Edgar saw the headstrong spirit in her.
- His heart throbbed. For the first time, Edgar averted his eyes from Jean's gaze.
- Jean was being led away.
- Yet his heart wouldn't recover.
- It was as if something was different from before.
- She had lost her child.
- Their child.
- Perhaps that was enough to atone for a life.
- Edgar shut his eyes and swallowed his emotions. He left the room and headed outside.
- Jacob, along with a few officers, sent Edgar out.
- The loud screeching of a brake attracted their attention. A man stepped out of a red racecar.
- Ben was filled with fury. He swung a punch toward Edgar.
- "Edgar Royden! When will you let her go? She hasn't had a day of peace ever since she met you! Do you not have a conscience?!"
- In Ben's eyes, Gigi and Edgar were a repulsive couple.
- Edgar dodged the punch and observed him coldly.
- Is this the man she's living with? He's just a reckless rich kid without any real achievement. And she trusts him to protect her?
- "Who is it, fighting in front of the police station!"
- Jacob gathered his men to hold Ben back.
- Edgar held out his arm. "It's alright, Jacob. It's not a big deal."
- He scanned Ben coldly.
- "I've already settled Jean's issue. What can you help her with when you can't even handle your own mother?"
- Edgar left with his assistant after taunting him.
- "Edgar Royden! You scumbag!"
- Ben shouted after him.
- Jean stopped in her tracks. Was she imagining things?
