Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 286 Chapter 286 Visiting The news immediately circulated across Royden Group after Edgar left Knox Residence. The board of directors looked remorseful and nervous as they stood in front of him.

With one glance, Edgar knew that they were just pretending. "Stop acting! All of you want Andy back in Royden Group? Sure, you have my consent. Any more requests?" Bryce looked frantic as he kept shaking his head, "No, no, Mr. Royden. We are not trying to mediate in this fiasco caused by Vice Pre... Andy. We hope you will pursue him and never let him return to Royden Group." Edgar scrunched his brows together. "As far as I know, Andy has always been good to you, Mr. Hart. And now you choose to betray him for your own benefit?" Bryce snorted coldly, "He turned his back onfirst, and I'm doing this for the sake of Royden Group." "So, you know Royden Group's reputation is marred because of the mess all of you have created." Edgar's eyes turned gloomy.

"All of you are required to surrender your share, and each of you are only entitled to not more than five percent of shares. I want to see the handover procedure done before next Monday." Edgar's decision took Bryce and the others by shock.

"Please, Mr. Royden. Please don't do this to us." "What happens if Royden Group becomes insolvent because of the mess you created? Do you think you have the right to bargain with me?" Edgar was a man of his word.

It was futile for the board of directors to plead with him. They exchanged a forlorn gaze with each other, sighed and left.

"Forget about it, Mr. Hart. Just take this as a lesson. We should be grateful for Mr. Royden for not driving us out of the company by force." Bryce understood as well.

But he was resentful of Andy for implicating himself in this predicament again. This time, he must retaliate against Andy! Then, they entered the elevator.

Meanwhile, the elevator next door opened and out cSusan and Jean with food.

"Excuse me, may I know where Mr. Royden's office is?" Jean went to the front desk and asked.

The staff was dumbfounded when she saw Jean, "Ms. Eyer..." Susan immediately pulled Jean away, "There... Over there." Alas, Susan could only breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Miles standing outside the office, "Hurry up. She's here for Mr. Royden." Jean beamed a smile, "I brought sfood for him. Can you helpbring it in?" Miles was startled and immediately opened the door.

Jean wasn't supposed to be seen in public. He would definitely get fired if something happened to her.

Edgar lifted his head and cast an eye at the door when he heard snoise, "What's going on?" His face dimmed the moment he saw Jean. He quickly walked over, pulled her into his office, shut the door and drew the blinds.

Jean was disconcerted by his perturbed reaction.

"Did I cat a wrong time?" She pursed her lips in abashment, "I just wanted to bring you sfood." Edgar was frantic as he involuntarily clenched his grip on Jean's shoulders. He looked strung up.

"You're hurting me, Edgar." Jean said softly.

Only then did the man realize and loosened his hands.

"I'm sorry." He still looked disconcerted, so Jean asked inquisitively, "Edgar, am I not supposed to be here?" Jean's unpremeditated question had Edgar raising his guard.

He turned his head and fixed his eyes on Jean's face.

Although he didn't speak, his expression said it all.

Jean beamed a soft and demure smile. She seemed to just be asking casually. She then turned around, walked to the table, took out the food, and muttered, "I made this soup for you. There are fruits too. No matter how busy you are at work, you must remember to eat on time." She turned around and smiled sweetly at him, “Have a taste of my cooking.” Edgar didn't know why but he just felt very unsettled.

He perused her expression to glean her thoughts, but to no avail.

"Are you upset with me? If you don't wantto visit you in your office, I won't cagain." Jean lowered her head aggrievedly, looking rather piteous.

"No, I'm glad you came." Edgar walked over, liking the smell of the flavorssoup Jean had made for him. He took his chair out and sat down.

Jean gave him a beautiful smile, "Go ahead and dig in. I'm going to the bathroom first." Twang! Edgar's spoon accidentally slipped and fell on the brim of the bowl.

Jean looked back startled, "Huh?" "Nothing. Just go." Edgar turned his back to Jean and suppressed the burgeoning emotions in his heart. Contents belong to Jean fluttered her eyes in confusion but didn't say anything.

She left Edgar's office and swept a glance at the employees, but none of them dared to look at her. Meanwhile, Miles and Susan were nowhere to be found.

It looked like Edgar had set out to keep her in the dark.

Alright then. Let's see who would make it to the end.

Edgar had finished two bowls of soup, and Jean hadn't returned from the bathroom.

He quickly hollered for Miles to cinto his office, "Find Jean immediately. She may have lost her way on her way back here." He didn't want anyone in Royden Group to let slip his secret to her, nor for Jean to see anything she shouldn't see...

Susan sighed remorsefully, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let Ms. Eyer chere when she insisted on delivering the food." In fact, she did try to stop Jean but it was all in vain. Jean was stubborn and not easily swayed.

Edgar furrowed his brows, "There's about(that no point talking about that now. Go and find her now."

"Who is it that you're looking?" The content is on Erenbvelxo.com! Jean abruptly joined in their conversation while entering the office. She was smiling while holding a cup of warm coffee.

Seeing Jean finally back, Edgar etched an aggravated frown.

"Where have you been?" "Oh, I cout of the bathroom just now and got lost. Then, I stumbled upon a joint office with a lot of employees and had a cuppa with them." Jean smiled innocently.

She pretended as if she had no idea why Edgar was perturbed. And the latter ceased taking the matter further.

"Both of you go out first." While saying that, Edgar turned around and loosened his necktie.

The door was closed again. The coffee in Jean's hand was still vaporizing into the air. She lowered her head and noticed Edgar had finished the soup. She beamed a satisfactory smile, "Oh, wow. You finished the soup. I'll make it more often since you seem like you enjoyed it." She would cook more often and show up at Royden Group more often as well.

This would get even more exciting when Gigi gives birth.

When Edgar turned around, he saw the heavenly smile on Jean's face. He hadn't seen Jean smiled like that for a long time.

Her smile captivated and broke his heart at the stime.

"Let's have a talk, Jean." "By the way, didn't you say you were going on a business trip? Has it been postponed?" Jean leaned forward, took a sip with the spoon Edgar had just used, and muttered, "It tastes a bit bland now." There was a lump in Edgar's throat. He didn't know how to tell her.

He was at a loss for words when his lie was busted.

Jean, on the other hand, said understandingly, "Mr. Rocher called me, that's why I knew you didn't go on the business trip. But it's okay. I know you have too many things on your plate and sometimes it's normal that you don't feel like going home. No big deal. I'll always be waiting for you." She would wait until the day he let his guard down before giving him the coup de grace.
