EDGAR’S RELENTLESS PURSUE FOR THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE - Season 1 Episode 24

A broken family, divorced, in jail. Every day in jail was like a nightmare Jean Eyer couldn’t wake up from. “Number 326, you have been granted early release from prison due to good behavior.”

Bang. The cold, hard door stood between two different worlds. Jean Eyer walked out slowly, dressed in a casual white outfit. The long-awaited freedom was like the wind. It approached her and whispered into her ear. Is this what being reborn feels like?

She closed her eyes slowly and took a deep breath in. When she opened her eyes, her gaze was steady.Not far away, an understated sports car was waiting. The car door opened.

Ben Ludwig ran over while berating her, “Silly girl, you didn’t need to go to prison in the first place. The lawyer’s evidence was enough to prove that you were innocent. You didn’t have to make things difficult for yourself.”

He ran all over the place because of her, but Jean Eyer was still going about it in her own way.

Jean Eyer saw that he was still the same old Ben Ludwig and the corner of her lips moved slightly. “Actually, there’s nothing too bad about this.”

Ben Ludwig was startled. He felt that something about her had changed, but he couldn’t pinpoint it exactly.

Jean Eyer laughed callously as if the person who was released from prison wasn’t actually her.

Ben Ludwig nodded, “Let’s go. Let’s leave this miserable place.”

“There’s something big happening today. Do you want to look at the trends?” Ben Ludwig said casually as he passed a new cellphone to her while sitting in the driver’s seat.

Jean Eyer raised her eyebrows and took the cellphone from him. Her actions were a little rusty as she went on Twitter.

The first trend on Twitter

—

‘Royden-Reece Wedding’.

She clicked on the trend to find a live broadcast of Edgar Royden and Gigi Reece’s wedding.

She laughed sarcastically.

There was no change at all to the man’s face. There was hatred in her eyes while her hands tightened unconsciously.

What a coincidence. The day of their wedding was also the day she left prison.

“Do you want to have some fun? Let them see that you can’t be bullied. I will support you no matter what happens.” Ben Ludwig said.

After a momentary pause, Jean Eyer answered readily. “Alright.”

It’s payback time for the two people who sent her into prison.

Ben Ludwig didn’t think that she would give such a straightforward answer and was stunned by it.

He flashed an excited but sinister smile and sped off towards the wedding. The sports car ran on the highway like an arrow without a bowstring.

The hotel where the wedding was held was full of majestic splendor, and all the invited guests looked like they fit right in. Gigi Reece’s father, Sam Reece, was busy entertaining all the guests that were coming up to him with a toast. Beside him stood a beautiful woman, and both of them were the very picture of bliss.

“It must’ve been tough to have been so busy for Gigi’s wedding.”

The woman smiled gently as she was wrapped in Sam Reece’s embrace. She said softly, “This is what I should do. I married you, and it’s only natural to treat Gigi as my own child. I just don’t know when she’ll call me mom.”

Sam Reece’s expression froze, and he chuckled dryly.

“It hasn’t been long since we got married. It’s too much for Gigi to take in. Let’s take our time and not be too worried.”

The woman understood perfectly what that meant. She smiled shyly and said no more.

As the guests made their way in, Ben Ludwig parked his car. He and Jean Eyer got out of the car together.

The Ludwig family also received a wedding invitation. As a precaution, Ben Ludwig took two invitations with him when he was picking Jean Eyer from prison.

Jean Eyer stared at the exquisite wedding invitation card coldly.

As she was walking to the steps, she saw the beautiful woman from afar. Her expression darkened fiercely.

“Ben Ludwig.” She whispered in a low voice.

“What’s wrong?”

“Why is Winnie Campbell here?”

Winnie Campbell, her stepmother.

A woman who was by her father’s side for six or seven years. Her father missed his late wife too much and never got to go through the formalities with Winnie Campbell. Even so, Jean Eyer knew how well her father treated Winnie Campbell.

She was even ready to accept Winnie Campbell into the family.

She just didn’t think that Winnie Campbell would choose to leave when the Eyer Group was in trouble and when the Eyer family faced their hardest times.

Winnie Campbell vanished into thin air!

Why was this person who Jean Eyer thought had disappeared now suddenly at Edgar Royden’s second wedding?

Jean Eyer’s beautiful eyes froze over.

Ben Ludwig followed Jean Eyer’s gaze and looked over. His brow furrowed as he said, “Jeannie, she’s now Gigi Reece’s stepmother.”

It was as if lightning struck Jean Eyer.

Ah…

What a small world.

She clenched her fists and stared at Winnie Campbell’s bright smile.

Winnie Campbell was leaning in Sam Reece’s arms, but Jean Eyer’s icy gaze caught her eye out of a sudden. With a low cry, she subconsciously pushed Sam Reece away to stand up straight.

“Jean Eyer?”

Why was she there?

Wasn’t she sentenced to two years? Only a year had passed.

Winnie Campbell made an attempt to hide, but there was nowhere for her to hide. She could only stay in Sam Reece’s embrace.

Even though Winnie Campbell wasn’t loud, it still attracted the attention of guests outside.

Everyone knew who Jean Eyer was. Edgar Royden’s ex-wife who was thrown into prison a year ago.

Sam Reece furrowed his brow, “Security.”

But before security could kick Jean Eyer out, the door behind them opened.

A tall figure appeared.

There was a collective gasp from everyone at the scene. Some drama was about to unfold.

The ex-wife of Mr. Royden was released early from prison. Did she and Mr.

Ludwig come to gatecrash?

His gaze swept to her lovely figure. She had lost a lot of weight in the one year he didn’t see her.

She was so fair it was like there was no blood running through her veins. However, her eyes still shone with determination.

The man stared for a moment with a furrowed brow. He didn’t think that they would meet again at a time like this.

At the same time, Jean Eyer saw him. The man of the hour, groom of the day!

She didn’t escape him weakly like she used to but stared at him straight in the eye instead.

Her sharp, strong gaze made him frown.

Her long hair was replaced by a crisp, ear-length bob. She wasn’t as elegant as she used to be, but this hairstyle was much more suitable for the current Jean Eyer.

A woman who no longer had anything to do with him.

At last, he was the one who looked away.

He walked towards Sam Reece while nodding at a few guests as if he didn’t see her at all.

“Mr. Reece, we can start the wedding.” Edgar Royden’s tone was neither cold nor heavy, but it had a sense of urgency to it.

Sam Reece’s face changed, and he replied, “Alright.”

Today was the day that his daughter Jay was marrying Edgar Royden, but Edgar Royden was still addressing him as Mr. Reece instead of ‘Uncle’ or

‘Dad’.

This distance between them didn’t make Sam Reece feel good, but he had no choice but to endure it.

It’s all because he’s Edgar Royden.

Sam Reece and Winnie Campbell followed Edgar Royden in. Winnie Campbell glanced at Jean Eyer, and her eyelid started to twitch all of a sudden.

Lord have mercy, today’s wedding had to go on without a hitch.
