Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 391

Chapter 391 There's No Need to be Nervous

Andy was the first person who dared to challenge Edgar before the reporters. After making the declaration, he shouted to his assistant, who was standing outside the crowd. “You deal with them!” Then, he got into his eye-catching sports car and sped away, leaving the reporters behind.

The scene suddenly switched to a reporter holding a microphone on site, giving closing words. This was followed by the host giving a prediction of Royden Group’s possible development in the future. The host talked a lot, but most were based on speculation and rumors.

Edgar narrowed his cold eyes and turned off the TV. Then, he rushed to Royden Group in his car. The game was only beginning.

Soon, the whole city heard Andy’s brazen declaration of his split from Royden Group. Jean found out about it while eating a chicken drumstick at home.

Ben also saw the news before boarding his flight and called Jean immediately. “How bad is the situation in Royden Group right now?”

Isn’t now the best time for Jean to strike back? Jean was still chewing on a mouthful of chicken. She put the phone on speaker mode and shouted, “I don’t know.” Then, it was followed by the sound of her washing her hands.

Ben stood in the airport’s main hall. He held his phone and kept reminding her, “Edgar will not let this matter progress further. Therefore, you have better not act rashly, or you’ll get dragged into it. Eyer Group has only just found its footing. Hello? Jean, are you listening?”

Jean scratched her head. “Hmm, I’m listening.”

She finally had a rare good night’s sleep. Then, she got home early in the morning and did not have time to wash her hair. Thus, her hair was a mess as she sat before the TV and finished watching the news about Royden Group.

She kept feeling something was missing.

“Ben, I think the matter has not reached its peak.”

“What do you mean?” Ben felt a sudden sense of bad premonition.

Jean chuckled. “Don’t worry about it. You should board the plane soon. Have a safe flight.”

She hung up after saying that.

Her words did not mean she would go out of her way to fight him. Instead, she would make the most of the available opportunity to make things worse for him.

She turned on her phone and anonymously sent the news article she had prepared earlier to a media company. Now, all she had to do was sit still and wait.

The news would eventually explode across the media like fireworks in the night sky.

However, the waiting period was long and tedious. Jean flipped through a few design magazines at home and was about to go for a walk when Edbert sent her a message.

He wanted her to head to Royden Group immediately. Furthermore, he ordered her to dress formally and prepare to cause a scene.

Jean checked herself in the mirror and shook her head. “Edbert, you can’t win. It seems you don’t understand your nephew at all.”

No matter what happened, Edgar would stick firmly to his goal. He would never let anyone change his mind.

Thus, it was pointless to try to control him using his ex-wife.

Furthermore, Jean believed Edgar was an unforgiving man. Andy had committed a great sin in the industry. He could not poach the company employees, pocket the money, and escape.

Jean rubbed her sore temple and changed into a decent set of clothes.

“Forget it. There’s going to be a major drama later. I might as well go there and get into the front-row seat.”

Half an hour later, Jean arrived before Royden Group’s entrance and found the reporters already blocking it.

“Ms. Eyer, what brings you here today?”

“Ms. Eyer, is it true that you have gotten back together with Mr. Royden?”

Jean used her purse to block her face. “I’ve no comments.”

However, she had shown up in an eye-catching evening gown. Thus, it was unsurprising that the reporters would not let her go.

As Jean was busy dealing with the reporters, Miles and a few Royden Group employees rushed over to block the reporters from entering.

“Ms. Eyer, why are you here?” Miles did not have time to inform Edgar. He rushed downstairs as soon as he received news of Jean’s arrival.

“Please follow me.”

Too many people were eavesdropping in the lobby. It was not the right place to talk.

News of Jean’s arrival in Royden Group soon spread.

Edbert was in his office, having tea with Mr. Blanc. They also had a chess game between them. When Edbert’s assistant came in, he immediately understood what had happened and got up straight away.

“Let’s go. Everyone’s here.”

Edbert left his office, hitting his cane strongly against the floor as he walked.

Mr. Blanc was covered in a cold sweat after playing a round of chess with Edbert.

He could not resist slowing down his footsteps. Royden Group will have a drastic change today.

Meanwhile, Edbert already had a plan before entering the meeting room. No matter how things developed, he would always be the biggest winner. It was a fight between Andy, the business partner who betrayed Royden Group and escaped, and Edgar, a ruthless lone wolf.

Furthermore, there was Jean to stir things up.

Edbert was confident that he could take over Royden Group this time.

He had a scheming look on his face. He suppressed his conspiring thoughts and raised his hand to press on the door handle.

‘Creek.’ The door opened. All the reporters were sitting quietly in their seats. It was not the rumbustious scene he imagined.

Edbert frowned and took a few more steps inside.

The venue was strangely peaceful. Furthermore, the reporters did not rush to question Jean about her presence. They also did not fire questions about Royden Group’s future.

Edbert gradually noticed something unusual.

“Everyone, you can now pose your questions. Mr. Royden shall answer all of them.”

Miles walked onto the stage and welcomed the reporters politely. He perfectly expressed the value of openness and transparency in Royden Group.

His attitude also implied to the reporters that Edgar had done nothing wrong. It showed Edgar was the one who protected the interest of the Royden Group and not Andy, a scheming man who betrayed his business partner. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Within a few minutes, Edgar speedily answered tricky questions from the reporters. Moreover, everything he said was supported with proof. He never tried to deflect them by saying he had no comments.

“Mr. Royden, do you mean Andy left Royden Group of his own volition?”

“Yes.”

Edgar seemed relaxed. His handsome face was calm and gave off a commanding aura.

“How will Royden Group deal with him from now on?”

“Firstly, he has to survive in this industry. I will consider this question again once he has reached my level.”

“Mr. Royden, when do you think that will happen?”

“At least five years. Perhaps longer.”

The hall became silent.

Edgar’s words were too cruel.

Andy was someone who established the Royden Group with him. Yet, Edgar arrogantly deemed Andy worthless. However, it made sense. Andy had left with nothing but recklessly claiming he would compete against Royden Group. No company would want to risk collaborating with him.

Furthermore, it would be difficult for Andy to suppress the Royden Group with his power.
