Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 129



Chapter 129 Pointless to Apologize
“So, do you have any proof? Miss Reece claimed that you were at fault.” “Tell me,” Jean scoffed. “does Gigi Reece have any
ounce of knowledge to drive a race car? Why do you believe anything from that woman?”
“...”
The journalists stopped their questioning. However, there was still a stray journalist who was adamant about getting a scoop.
“Ms. Eyer, The Royden Group is the competition’s largest investor. This accident will definitely come as a great shock to them, so
what are your feelings on this scandal?”
Just by that question alone, Jean felt violent. “I’m that witness to the accident. We discovered that there was a brake issue after
we had passed the first turn,” said a voice. A person in a wheelchair moved in front of Jean — Farra Emilio was seen pushing
Ben on a wheelchair.
“If you have any questions, come to me,” ordered Ben. Jean was shocked. “Ben...”
He reached out his cold palms for Jean. His hand tightened around hers. Jean did not break her eye contact.
The reporters were ecstatic when Ben showed up. They raised their microphones in his direction, hoping to get any news from
him. “Mr. Ludwig, is it official? It was rumored that you are going to be engaged to the daughter of the Sans Group. Is the news
true?”
Ben smirked. “The truth is the truth. We’ll wait for the Racing Association on their comments. Take your photos and leave. I do
not wish to disturb the other patients.”
Once the reporters had their fair share of photos, they left the ward immediately. Ben let go of Jean’s hand as they assisted him
in getting into the hospital bed along with the nurse.
Ben had this contented smile on him as he stared at Jean. Jean frowned, “You haven’t recovered from your injury, what are you
going to do? You could have...”
“I’m worried about you.” He made no secret of what was in his heart, even in front of Farra Emilio. Farra Emilio coughed next to
him. “The doctor’s called. They mentioned Benny’s test results came out, so I came.”
Not long after Farra had left the ward, someone knocked by the door. Jean braced herself for another reporter from a TV station.

“Ben,” said Ally. She barged into the space without mentioning a word to Jean. Besides her rude attitude, she brought along a
fruit basket.
Ben listened while Farra and the others talked about what transpired during his operation, and his feelings for Ally grew
progressively colder.
Ben’s voice grew colder, especially after he noticed Ally ignoring Jean. “I find Miss Sans’ favor to be intolerable.”
Ally’s smile froze, and the corners of her lips twitched awkwardly. “Jean, I need to talk to Ben. Alone.” insisted Ally. “You can...”
“She can’t do that.”
Ben grabbed Jean Eyer close to him and said coldly, “She can’t leave me. Not even a second.”
Ally wanted to laugh incredulously. “Do you really want to treat me this way, Ben? I’ve been worried about you ever since the
accident that day. I couldn’t sleep for a few days. Uncle Ludwig forbade me from visiting you. I came regardless,” she cried.
Tears fell from Ally’s cheeks.
“If you want to cry, do it outside,” said Ben with a bored expression.
“Ben, I really miss you very much. I know you must have misunderstood me. I... I’ll go back first. I won’t disturb you,” said Ally.
“we can talk once you leave the hospital.”
She left feeling resentful as she said this.
Jean frowned, “She will definitely be blocked by reporters when she goes out like this.”
Ben continued to hold her hand. “I don’t care. I anticipated today when I was playing that day. Sonny and the others will
undoubtedly check thoroughly before playing. It is difficult to make such a simple error.”
Jean kept quiet.
She had given this much thought and confirmed with Sonny that everything was possible on the field—apart from brake failure,
which was extremely uncommon.
The likelihood that they were met by such a coincidence was almost one in a thousand.

“Although the Motorsport Association will investigate this matter, I don’t think they can find out the truth.” Ben smiled at Jean,
“So, don’t think that it is your responsibility that I am injured.”
He didn’t want her to be burdened.
Jean’s heart pounded, and she looked down at the kettle. “There’s no hot water, I’ll go get it.”
Ben sighed deeply as he saw her leave the ward.
As soon as Jean turned the corner, Ally, who was waiting there, stopped her.
“Step aside,” leered Ally.
Jean grew irritated.
Jean didn’t have time to engage with her childish games and crocodile tears.
“I’ve heard that you’re looking after Ben right now. Yes, you did him such a disservice that you ought to make amends. You don’t
have to show up again starting tomorrow,” ordered Ally.
“This is out of your control,” Jean said, giving her a casual glance. “This is between me and Ben.”
She would avoid Ally, as she had already stated.
Ally grabbed her arm and said, “That day, my parents were too anxious to say anything about breaking the engagement, but I’m
here today to tell Aunt Ludwig that I want to keep dating Ben, so...”
“Ally Sans, what qualifications do you have to stand here and order me around?” Jean avowed. She cast a cold look at her and
said, “When Ben needed someone the most, where were you?”
If Ally really likes Ben, Jean won’t say anything and will certainly avoid him.
But the truth was that Ben was simply seen as a pawn by their family.
Ally went frigid. “You are not the hero in this situation. Would Ben have a crash if you weren’t in the car?” argued Ally. “Common
sense would have told you that an accident would occur.”

Jean’ frowned. Ally knew she had struck a chord in her and shouted, “You should be having fun in secret and turning around in
front of Ben every day because the Ludwig family did not hold you responsible. Do you intend to murder him?”
“Miss Sans, we need to discuss the evidence.” Farra listened in on their talk while taking the report from the doctor’s office.
She went straight to Jean and didn’t look very enthusiastic when she saw Ally “I am familiar with your Sans family’s approach.
Please return, Miss Sans. I cannot allow my child to be high.”
“Mrs. Emilio!” Ally panicked. She apologized, “My father stated it as he was in a haste that day. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Farra Emilio grumbled, “Oh, only Jean was there for my son at his most trying moments. You rushed over to apologize now that
he was awake. Do you believe that our Ludwig family is easy to deceive?”
“I... Aunt Ludwig, you misunderstood me!”
Ally, who was in a panic and had no idea what to say, pulled at the hem of her skirt.
She anticipated that the Ludwig family would welcome her as soon as she turned back, but she didn’t anticipate...
