Chapter 93 Jealousy Blinds

“In that case I’d better not go. Don’t wanna spoil the fun.” Jean was very much aware of her place. Ben’s mom

wouldn’t like her to be at the party.

Knowing what she was thinking, Ben quickly explained, “My mom invited you to her birthday party. When I came to

pick you up just now, she asked me to take you there earlier.”

Jean was dumbfounded. She doubted, “Really?”

Ben nodded in all seriousness, “Of course. I don’t joke about this kind of thing. Let’s go. Let’s get you another one if

you don’t like that dress.”

Jean needed a moment, “Wait here. I’ll be right back”

She dug out an ordinary dress from her suitcase. Although it was an outdated piece, it still looked great on her.

“Let’s go.” Jean locked the door. She thought she would only be there for a while as she would leave after eating

the free food.

Ben was delighted. He was contemplating how to properly introduce Jean to his family.

When Jean arrived at the Ludwig’s residence, she realized the party was swankier than expected.

Farra had invited many elites and reputable people in Yorktown over for her birthday party.

Countless luxury cars were parked outside the gate.

At the party, Farra was wearing a traditional cheongsam while standing on the second-floor balcony. She was

happily chatting away with a few ladies.

“I heard that your son is dating Ally Sans. Looks like Mrs. Ludwig will get to enjoy cuddling a baby Ludwig soon!” A

woman flattered Farra.

“Oh, I didn’t expect the news to get out so fast. Ben and Ally haven’t made a public announcement yet. And I do not

usually intervene in Benny’s life.”

“Mrs. Ludwig is really lucky…”

Farra was enjoying all the attention and flattery until she saw Ben and Jean came into her sigh and then, Farra’s

smile froze.

One of the attendees noticed Jean’s appearance at the party and muttered in surprise, “Isn’t she Edgar’s ex-wife?”

“Is she trying to seduce your son, Mrs. Ludwig?”

The incident where Ben proposed to Jean at the award ceremony had spread like wildfire.

Farra tried to cover up her embarrassment. She jeered, “Whoever marries a despicable woman like her is

damned.”

“It must be that woman who’s leeching on to Mr. Ludwig. Shame on her!”

Ben led Jean to the first floor living room. They were not aware of the insultation made against Jean on the second

floor.

But at this time, Edgar, who was standing not far from Farra and friends, happened to be in a business chat with

Myer and overheard their conversation about Jean.

Myer cleared his throat in discomfiture, “I’m sorry. Please excuse the ladies’ unmannerly remarks, Mr. Royden.”

He hurriedly digressed and led Edgar to the restaurant inside.

Edgar was indifferent, “It’s okay.”

“Our company will give our best in this collaboration. We are very grateful for Mr. Royden for being so forgiving and

willing to give us such a great opportunity.”

Even a seasoned businessman like Myer had to shrink himself and be subservient in front of Edgar.

In the past few years, Royden Group had accomplished exceptional growth especially after the incident with the

Eyer family. Edgar had acquired several medium-sized companies in one go, making Royden Group the leader in

Yorktown’s marketplace. And his existence and remarkable accomplishments were admired by many people.

By securing the collaboration with Royden Group, the profit would ease Ludwig Group’s financial blithe.

Therefore, Myer was working very hard to ensure the collaboration would be a success.

“Edgar!” Gigi walked over with a cup of coffee and handed it over to Edgar.

Edgar held the coffee cup and took a sip.

The two of them looked like a match made in heaven.

Myer immediately smiled and said, “Let’s talk later, Mr. Royden. Let’s enjoy the food first.”

Then, he immediately went to the housekeeper, “Find Ben and tell him to stay away from Jean Eyer today. I don’t

want to hear any gossip about them from anyone anymore. It has to stop!”

Just now, for a moment, Myer could feel that Edgar was perturbed about this matter.

He went inside to find Farra after ordering the housekeeper to find Ben.

On the other side, Gigi was acting coy with Edgar. Prior to this, she had begged Edgar to let her tag along to Farra’s

birthday party.

She plotted to make a public appearance with him as a couple.

She wanted to exert herself as Mrs. Royden. Just now when she was on her way here, Ally had told her that Jean

would also attend the party as Ben’s companion.

Gigi gritted her teeth in abhorrence as she was reminded of both the times Jean had mangled her wedding.

In her opinion, Jean was simply using Ben to regain her social status. She was trying on both Ben and Edgar at the

same time.

“Edgar, many of your partners are gathered downstairs. Can you introduce them to me?” She wanted to quickly

integrate into Edgar’s circle. She couldn’t pass up such a timely opportunity.

The man felt somewhat touched hearing her say that, “But you never liked to mingle in this kind of social function.”

He had once brought Gigi to a business social event but she left early due to unbefitting topics at the event.

Gigi cleared her throat, “We are married, and I hope to be useful in building your business.”

Edgar raised his eyebrow and didn’t say much.

Gigi grabbed his hand with a smile, “Let’s go.”

Jean was downstairs. Gigi was determined to exert her glory and ascendence to Jean at the party.

Let Ben and Edgar dump Jean at the same time!

Only then she would feel better from the ruined weddings by Jean.

She clung to Edgar’s arm, looking like a proud peacock waiting to flaunt her greatness.

However, some of the attendees at the party had heard of some rumors pertaining the Reece family.

“Did Royden family help resuscitate the menaced Reece family?”

“Sam Reece went around to loan money for his daughter’s wedding, both of which were ruined by Edgar’s ex-wife.

Can’t believe how embarrassing that must have been.”

“Does that mean the two of them are not legally married yet? Then, Gigi Reece is cheap by putting herself in that

situation.”

Those words were insults to Gigi, but to Jean, it was a song to her ears.

She walked around and among those so-called elites and socialites with their gossips while carrying a plate and

sampling all the good food.

Of course, some of the gossips were about her but she chose not to take those insults to heart.

While going around the crowd, she noticed a pair of eyes following her.

It was so disturbing. She couldn’t help but stare back in contempt.

Why was Edgar staring at her? It wasn’t her who was discussing about him and Gigi!

In the past, she had always longed for her husband’s attention. But now that she had thought about it again, she

had been too foolish and naïve to wish that kind of attention upon herself.
