Chapter 286: Justin What Do You Think (part one)

Coco laughed incredulously. "Edward, you hypocrite. Do you really think I'll believe you? Every man in S City dreams of having sex with me. And you're a dashing, amorous, and flirtatious playboy. How am I supposed to believe that you don't feel anything for me?"

Coco had always been confident about herself. Her stunning looks and sexy figure had always made her every man's dream girl. She couldn't believe that Edward didn't like her. All men were arrogant. This was especially true for a handsome and dignified man like Edward. He must feel reluctant to admit it that he liked her to her face.

"Being confident is good, but it's dangerous if you feel too good about yourself. Even if all the men in the world fall for you, that does not include me. I admit that I'm an amorous man, but except for my wife, every other woman is simply a tool to satisfy my sexual desire. Do you think you're any different?"

Edward released her neck, his eyes narrowing with a trace of disgust. Although Coco had an attractive body, it wasn't what he wanted. No matter how captivating she looked, she was nothing but flesh in his eyes. She failed to arouse any sexual desire from him.

"But what about my cousin? What is Jessica to you? A tool to satisfy your sexual needs? Do the feelings she has invested in you for so many years really mean nothing to you?" Coco's jaw was sore from Edward's grip. She raised her eyebrows and glared at him. No matter what, she wasn't going to lose the last glimmer of her self-esteem. At first, she thought that Edward was only teasing when he said that he didn't like her. But hearing his degrading words made her pride shatter into pieces and her sense of superiority disappear.

Was Jessica the one who told you to come here and argue with me? What if I say that it was only a game between me and Jessica? Do you really think I loved her? Don't be silly. If she hadn't pretended to be a considerate and kind woman, I wouldn't have stayed with her for so long." Edward took a tissue to wipe his hands carefully, as if touching Coco made his hands dirty.

Coco always deemed herself as a pure and lofty person, so seeing Edward's actions embarrassed her. She worked hard to climb to her current position as the A-list star in S City. She didn't gain this by sleeping her way up, but with her own strength and hard work. Why was she so detestable in his eyes?

Hearing his ruthless response, Coco felt sorry for Jessica. Her cousin had fallen in love with such an unworthy man. She was doomed to get hurt in the end. Coco felt lucky that she only admired Edward from afar and didn't get herself too involved. Otherwise, things would end ugly for her, like the way it did for Jessica.

But what about my contract? Why did you terminate it? Could you at least tell me why?" Compared to Edward's humiliating words, what she thought more unacceptable was the fact that her stardom had been taken away by the FX International Group. This was something she always valued and took pride in. Losing her stardom overnight was a deadly blow to her.

Do you want to know why? Miss Coco, are you not aware of what you've done? Do you need me to remind you? You may have time to hear it, but I don't have the time to explain." Edward's reply was harsh and as cold as ice. He wasn't going to waste any more time on a woman he didn't care for at all.

Coco's beautiful face fell. She bit her bottom lip, trembling anxiously at his words. She feigned innocence in his presence, while she did disgusting things behind his back. No wonder he despised her. It turned out that he knew everything she had done.

"Can you give me one more chance? If I lose the contract, my career will be over. It's the only thing I care about. I'm nothing without it." Coco pleaded. Her pride and complacency disappeared.

"Why didn't you consider things before you started all this? Don't you think it's too late for regrets? Get yourself dressed and get out of my sight. Don't make any more trouble for yourself." Edward didn't feel any pity for Coco because she was completely detestable. If she hadn't caused a fuss with Jessica, she wouldn't have been reduced to nothing. He had given her a chance, but she missed it. She persisted in acting on her own and continued on the path to nowhere. She had to face the consequences of her actions. The FX International Group wasn't a charity. The company wouldn't remain silent in the face of constant provocations.

Coco pulled up her clothes, feeling ashamed and irritated. Was she wrong to come here? It was bad enough that she didn't achieve her goal, but to be humiliated like this? How could she be so stupid? Coco thought that Edward was a man who could easily be seduced. She was shocked that he had transformed from a womanizing playboy to a faithful husband.

Truth to be told, she really envied the woman Edward fell in love with. Edward wasn't an easy man to love; he seemed ruthless and unkind. But once he gave his heart to a woman, he would give her his full devotion for the rest of his life.

Things always came together. Before Coco finished dressing herself, a small boy pushed the door open and saw Coco's unkempt appearance. He suddenly stopped, causing the person behind him to nearly bump into him.

Mr. Edward what were you doing with this woman? Don't tell me she comes to the wrong place. Justin glared at his father with fury. Je didn't address him as dad. He went back to call him Mr. Edward, which he used back when they weren't familiar with each other months ago. Whenever he addressed Edward this way, it meant he was very angry. And an angry Justin was very dangerous.

Ah! Edward, you bastard! How dare you have an affair with another woman in your office? Did you even think about your wife? Cynthia exclaimed. She was the wife of the head of the Mayfly. It was easy to guess what happened from the scene. The woman obviously started this, and she tried to seduce her son. Edward was obviously innocent, setting fully clothed in his chair. But she didn't plan to defend him. Since Edward always ignored her, she let Justin torture him a little bit.

Mom, you are deliberately saying this to stir up trouble for me? You know it's definitely not what it looks like. Edward stared at her helplessly. Although he hadn't spent much time with his mother, he knew his mother's personality. She must still hold a grudge against him for scolding her and dad too harshly yesterday. This was her revenge. It was all Jonathan's fault. His domineering and indifferent father Indulged her propensity for stirring up troubles.
