Chapter 375

Nobody Wanted It to Be Like This

Not long after Edgar returned to Royden Group, Miles received a call from reception. “Mr. Royden, Ms.
Reece is here. She said that she must meet you, and she doesn’t seem to be in the right mental state.”

Miles was slightly concerned after he listened to the receptionist’s description. If something happened
to her at Royden Group, with Gigi’s fame and popularity after she came out of retirement, it would
affect Royden Group’s reputation.

Edgar signed some documents as his expression darkened. “Send her in.” Soon, Gigi hung her pale
face as she stood in front of Edgar. There was no light in her eyes at all. She pursed the corner of her
lips and looked uncomfortable.

From what Miles could remember, Gigi had never acted like this in front of others. She was someone
who cared a lot about her appearance and image, but now…

Edgar glanced at her, and he frowned. “Why are you looking for me?” Gigi raised her head and said in
a low voice, “Can I speak privately with you?”

The man waved his finger, and Miles left at once. The door shut, and only the two of them were left in
the office.

Gigi forced out a sliver of a smile. With her delicate but pale face, she looked ill. “Edgar, we haven’t
spoken like this in a long time.”

Edgar’s brows furrowed but he didn’t say anything.

Miles was right. Gigi wasn’t in the right mental state.



“I know that you don’t love me. To be more accurate, you don’t like me at all. I was the one who
overestimated my capabilities all along.” Gigi smiled lightly. “I tricked you, and I am now suffering the
consequences of my actions.”

She clutched her bag and took out a ticket to a cruise ship. She placed it on the desk.

“I want to invite you to come and have fun with me on a cruise. I will let go completely once we return.”
Gigi rubbed her fingers and looked straight at Edgar.

She was looking forward to the man’s reply.

But…

“I don’t have the time.” His rejections were always ruthless.

Gigi had expected such a response.

She pursed the corner of her lips bitterly. After a long time, she slowly said, “With such a relationship
between the three of us, someone has to leave first. Edgar, this is my final request. Can’t you agree to
it?”

“If not, I have to look for Jean and lay my cards on the table.”

“She knows about the connection she has with me, but she didn’t tell me about it. How can such an
older sister exist? Or does she hate me so much that she doesn’t want to acknowledge me?”

‘Plop’

Gigi’s tears fell and landed on the back of her hand.

Her shoulder trembled slowly. “I just want to settle this matter. If this continues, it’s not beneficial for all
three of us.”



She hung her head and wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes as she spoke.

“You don’t care about me. Then what about Jean? Someone is plotting against her and setting her up.
Are you going to stand by and watch?”

As she had expected, Edgar’s expression changed once she said that.

“I’ll be waiting for you at the pier tonight at six. Once we get on the ship, I will tell you about the
mastermind behind the scenes.” Her eyes were filled with bitterness. “Don’t worry, I won’t trick you.”

When Gigi walked out, Edgar’s frown deepened.

Indeed. If someone hadn’t deliberately planned it, Jean wouldn’t have found Mr. Jevin. And who gave
her the old photograph?

He didn’t doubt what Gigi had said. He just felt that someone might have secretly incited Gigi to look for
him.

“Miles, clear my schedule for tonight.”

“Alright, Mr. Royden.”

…

That night, Jean had just showered when she received a text message.

It was an intimate picture of Gigi with a man, but his face couldn’t be seen. Only his fair muscles and
tall figure were shown.

Gigi sent another text message after that.



‘Thank you for yielding Edgar to me. We are very happy now. He doesn’t want me to tell you, but I feel
like if it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have reconciled.’

Reading that text message, Jean felt that her heart had been pierced for no reason. It was as if it had
been stabbed with force. It was so painful that she couldn’t maintain her sanity.

The doorbell rang and interrupted her thoughts.

Susan brought some food for her. “Ms. Eyer, have you had dinner?”

Susan saw the frozen meal on her table, and she sighed in a low voice. “You can’t eat like this even if
you’re eating alone. It’s not healthy if you keep eating it.”

Jean suppressed her emotions with some effort and nodded.

She put her cell phone on one side.

After that, Gigi sent a few text messages that consisted of intimate pictures, but Jean was chatting with
Susan in the dining room, so she didn’t look at them.

Jean looked down and casually asked, “Is Edgar at home?”

“He went out. He said that he has to meet someone and will only be back tomorrow.” Susan thought
that Jean was looking for Edgar, so she continued at once, “Why don’t I let you know once he returns
tomorrow?”

Jean understood in an instant.

She smiled and shook her head. “It’s fine.”

Susan’s heart sank. She was about to speak in defense of Edgar when the doorbell rang again.



“Ms. Eyer, here are some gifts that Mr. Mason has picked out for you. There’s also a letter.” It was
Hugo’s driver. “Mr. Mason wanted to come personally, but Ms. Ellie has a fever, so he could only send
me over. He asked me to apologize on his behalf.”

Jean looked at the gift boxes that were packaged exquisitely. “But I…”

Susan was too far away and couldn’t hear what Jean said, but her brows wrinkled at once.

It was obvious that someone was pursuing Jean!

It was so late, but he sent someone over with gifts. Susan panicked and gritted her teeth in silence. Mr.
Royden, why did you have to meet someone tonight?

“Ms. Eyer, please accept the gifts. Mr. Mason said this is what you need the most at the moment.” The
driver said before he turned and left.

Jean could only bring the gifts in. When she opened it, it was information about investment trends for
the past three years, and they were all projects that Hugo had personally handled.

There was a card on top.

“Ms. Eyer, I didn’t have any other way but to ask you rudely about it last time. This is a gesture of
goodwill. I hope that you can consider.”

The handwriting was elegant. Hugo must have written it personally.

Looking at the information, what Hugo said to her by the beach that day popped up in her mind.

“Ever since Ellie’s mom passed away, her grandmother has always tried to take custody of Ellie. Their
family is quite reputable locally, and they have a lot of assets overseas. In terms of their power, I can’t
compare to them.”



“I know that there are many obstacles as a single father raising his daughter, but no matter what, I can’t
place Ellie’s future in their hands. I don’t want Ellie to become sacrificial goods for trade for the family’s
benefit in the future.”

“Therefore, I have to look for a stepmother for Ellie in the shortest time possible.”
