Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 509

Chapter 509

George reached for the elevator button and turned to look at her.

Once they entered the elevator, George couldn't help but sneer at her, “I told you to watch what you say and do,

but that didn’t mean that you should just lie down and let people walk all over you.You're the heir-to-be of the

Royden family.You don’t need to be that cautious”

Xena stayed silent.She heard what they said at the hospital the other day.She had plenty of evidence.But she

could not speak out.

Rather, she did not dare to.

How would she survive if this cto light? “I don’t want to intern here anymore.Can’t | just leave?”

She looked up at George hopefully.He had helped her plenty of times in the past.

She should be able to trust him.

George's eyes grew hard like flint.

“What do you think?”

He had shown her mercy before, but if she continued to play dumb, there was no need to keep her around.

While the elevator was still moving, he turned and pinned her against the elevator wall.

“You sent Mr.Edgar a text before he left, didn’t you?”

“I did not!”

Xena immediately denied it.

George narrowed his eyes at her.

“I gave you the phone you're using.l know where you've been, what you're doing, and who you're talking to.”

The blood in Xena'’s veins ran cold. Content © 2024.

“Naiveté.”

George turned away.

“Are Edgar and Jean alive?” Xena asked meekly.

“Maybe.”

After receiving a call from Edgar, Joseph immediately sent someone to escort them back.He began interrogating

them as soon as they met.

“What happened after the plane crashed? How many people survive the crash? How did the three of you survive

for the past four days?”

“She needs rest” Edgar said.

He led Jean around Joseph and the police officers that cwith him, completely ignoring them.

Ben was no different.

Joseph frowned, “What is going on? Stop messing around.You have to...”

“Shere.No comment.”

Edgar had instructed Ben to do so before they left the hotel.

They couldn’t say a word about what had happened to keep Jean safe.

If not, the consequences would be too much to bear.

However, an hour after they arrived at Louisville, the tabloids started reporting news on the private organization,

Swarm.

“According to professionals, it is an aggressive and highly dangerous private military located around the border.”

“As of this moment, the police have not intervened.It is unknown whether this could be political.”

Ben and Edgar exchanged glances.

Their eyes flashed with cold certainty.

Jean was much more at ease than the both of them.

Having suffered a plane crash, she had experienced far more than any average person had in ten lifetimes.

People would rely on their natural survival instincts and self-preservation skills to calm their troubled minds when

faced with an uncertain future.

“The Louisville police force are going to interrogate you.lt is all routine.”

There was no way Joseph could stop them.

A few hours later.

Jean and Edgar were both in the sinterrogation room.She had long gotten used to such ‘routines: “Don’t say

anything no matter what they..”

“That should be easy.| have no idea what's going on.”

Jean eyed the camera in the corner of the room.

“I'm not going to lie.It’s better forto tell the truth anyways.”

Her words had a double meaning to them.

“It cas a surprise towhen | found out that my ex-husband had connections to a private military

organization.” She suddenly blurted out.

Edgar stiffened.He opened his mouth to say something.

But Jean beat him to it.

“You've always toldto not ask so many questions.To not get involved.But not once did you think that maybe |

could be of help.To you, I'll always be someone that needs your protection”

Jean cocked her head and said emotionlessly.

“I'm just overreacting”

Her voice was barely louder than a whisper.She sounded so sad and lonely in that enclosed room.

Jean looked down at her knees.

“How did you know that I did not abort the child?”

“You wouldn't do that.”

He sighed softly.

Who would have thought they'd finally be honest with each other in such circumstances? “You have a sense of

responsibility.Everything you do, you put your heart and soul into it.Unlike me, all I know how to do is threaten

people to get my way.”

Jean blinked.

Was he actually reflecting on himself or just placating her? “Everything | do is for your safety”

Jean was quiet.

This she admitted to herself.

If he hadn't appeared like a knight in shining armor, she might still be locked up in that place with the rest of the

passengers.

And she wouldn't need to be interrogated either.

After everything she had been through, she still couldn't get rid of him.

The door opened, and a Louisville police officer walked in.

Joseph followed behind.

“Let’s get cracking.”

They were asked about their personal information.

Nothing that couldn't be disclosed. S~earch the FindNevelwebsite on Goggle to access chapters of

Toward the end, Edgar would butt in and take over whenever Jean tried to say something.

It gave people the impression that he was trying to hide something.

Jean frowned at him.

“Tellthe truth!”

“I am telling the truth.”

He spread his hands out as if showing that he was fully cooperating with them.

Edgar looked calm as ever when in fact, he was signaling Jean.

They needed to muddy the waters a bit.

They were telling the truth but nothing of use.

Anyone listening would think of them

“Never seen him before.”

Jean shook her head at the photo they showed her.

In the end, the police had no choice but to break out the polygraph.

Joseph could not stop them.

But it was useless.

Edgar and Jean were on the swavelength.

The policemen threw their earphones to the side when they heard the interpreters answer.

They swore and slammed the door when they left.

Joseph scratched his head in confusion.

He stared at the two of them.

“Are you telling the truth?” He asked.

“Of course.” Edgar smiled faintly at him.

“Okay. Then, would you like to remarry her?”

Joseph stared hard at Edgar's face. He was testing to see if the polygraph was working.

“Yes. Anywhere, any time”

The police officer standing next to Joseph nudged him.

Joseph was stumped “Stupid machine!”

The Louisville police had no choice but to hand them over to Joseph.

They had twenty-four hours to leave Louisville.

They also could not reenter the country for five years.

“Don’t worry, Officer Bunnings”

Edgar reassured him once he heard the order.

“We'll never return to such a dangerous place on our own accord.”

“Damn it”

Jean muttered under her breath. &
