Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 276 Unexpected Occurrence It was natural for Gary to not want his daughter to be aware of Joey's existence, but the family maids might have noticed something.

Brigid froze for a brief moment before shaking her head. "His priority has always been you; it's Winnie who kept pestering him, and he never truly liked her."

From what she could tell, his love for Jean surpassed any father in the world. She was his most precious treasure.

However, after hearing her question, Brigid suddenly remembered something.

"One night, though, he was feeling unwell, and a beautiful young woman sent him back. Yeah, that happened once," Brigid said, trying hard to recall the past. "Do you remember what she looked like?" Jean asked.

"It's been so long. I can't really remember the details. I only remember having the impression that she's breath-taking." Brigid shook her head helplessly.

Jean laughed when she saw her thinking hard. "Brigid, there are many beautiful women in the world. It can't be "

Suddenly, a distant memory flooded her mind.

She was very young, and was playing hide and seek with her father, when he told her, "Don't grow up to be an extremely beautiful lady, Jeannie. It's enough to be as kind and loving as your mom."

Right in front of her, Brigid also sank into a vortex of memories.

"Your mother was such a beautiful and kind woman. She's worth being held closely by Mr. Eyer in his entire lifetime."

That's right. The woman he cared about the most was my mom. Perhaps, that's the answer to the puzzle he left.

The more she thought about it, the higher the possibility. The next morning, she went to Royden Group as soon as she woke up, because she had lost track of the jade bangle and wanted to get it back.

However, she did not get to meet Edgar. Instead, she heard from the employees that he was injured, so had stayed at home.

"Jean?"

Coincidentally, Nathan saw her as soon as he walked out of the elevator.

"Hi." She nodded at him as a form of greeting before walking out hurriedly.

Nevertheless, he quickly chased up with her. "Are you here for Edgar? I have something to pass to him as well. Should we go together?"

"No-" She rejected instinctively, but before waiting for her reply, he had already gotten into the car.

Since they were in close proximity with the employees of Royden Group, she opened the car door without any hesitation.

"The people here said that he's injured," she commented calmly as she looked at him.

"That's right." He turned the steering wheel as he passed a report to her. "Apart from that, he's been framed. Someone injected a type of stimulant into him, so I need to go see him now."

She frowned. Is there someone who hates him more than I do?Contents belong Soon, they reached Royden Residence. Nathan got out of the car first and handed the report to Edgar instantly.

"The stimulant injected into Jean is very dangerous, and the effects will take place within 72 hours. For her safety, it's better to keep her around you."

Edgar frowned deeply, but before he could ask any other questions, Jean walked into the room.

"That's the most I can help you with, bro. Take care!"

With that, he patted Edgar's shoulders. In that instant, blood drained from his face as he inhaled sharply.

Jean stopped at the door. He looks really pale.

"I suddenly remember that I need to run some errands. I've passed you what you wanted, so I'll leave now." With that, he shot a look at Edgar and quickly left.

As soon as the door was shut, Edgar looked at Jean deeply and walked to her.

"Are you here for something?"

He focused his gaze on her to make sure if she had any reaction or pain after being injected with the stimulant.

However, his gaze made her put her guard up.

She looked at him coldly and vigilantly, as though she had to protect herself from what he was about to do next.

"Didn't you say that I breached the contract? I just want to make it clear - what did I do?"

She had thought it out clearly. She was going to be very precise with him so that he would not have the opportunity to hold her weaknesses against her. Upon seeing that she was still ignorant of what had happened, he immediately felt relieved.

Then, he slowly turned around and took a bottle of wine from a nearby cabinet. Toying the glass in his hand, he replied steadily, "Didn't you look closely at the contract Miles passed to you? Right after you signed it, you already breached the terms."

Glaring at him, she said, "You lied to me!"

"So what?" He smiled icily at her. "And I plan to do that until the very end."

With that, he pulled her into the entrance of his villa and locked the door.

"What are you doing?"

Then, he locked her wrists together, but before she could start to struggle against him, she felt her head getting heavier and her sight becoming blurry. "What have you done to me Edgar? You crazy jerk!"

She had completely used up her energy in that shriek, and her energy was slipping away from her.

He must have planned this out with Nathan to do this to me. I can't believe I actually felt sorry for him just now after hearing that he had been injected with some stimulant.

She bit her lips to wake herself up, but her senses became duller as the injury behind her head started becoming itchy and painful.

She seemed to have fallen into a dream where she was about to marry Edgar.

All the pleasant memories from the past flooded into her head, as though her father was still alive, and the Eyer family was still intact. However, she was still maintaining a dead marriage.

"Jean."

Someone was calling her name.

The velvety voice was very familiar, and it belonged to a person she could never get over with.

"Who is it?" She sat up immediately and realized that she was in an unfamiliar room. "W-Where am I?"

At this moment, Susan was bringing breakfast upstairs, and she entered the room after hearing her voice.

"You're up, Ms. Eyer."

However, Jean didn't seem to recognize her.

"And you are...?" She looked at Susan in confusion.

"Don't you recognize me?" Susan froze.

Jean blinked and shook her head.

Then, she shoved the blankets aside and went went to the window. "My head hurts, and I can't really recall my memories. Where's my dad?"

Susan placed the breakfast platter on a table before saying, "E-Enjoy your breakfast first. I'll inform Mr. Royden about this."

"Mr. Royden?" she wondered aloud.

Nevertheless, the breakfast smelled nice, and she was rather hungry, so she pulled the chair out and sat down.

Meanwhile, Susan ran to Edgar. "Mr.

Royden, Ms. Eyer seems to have lost her memories. She doesn't of NOV remember who I am, and she even asked for her dad." With that, she sighed.

After all, she knew very well that Gary had passed away two years ago, and his death was closely related to Edgar.

After fainting, Jean seems to have forgotten everything!Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"I'll go take a look. Tell the others not to appear in front of her."

With that, he walked upstairs with Nathan's words from the day before reverberating in his ears.

"No one knows the effect of that stimulant."
