Chapter 346
Chapter 346 Avoidance
Women had the tendency to use their weakness as a weapon. Most men would fall for this trick, but Edgar
wasn't like most men. His eyes grew darker, but he stayed quiet.
Miles could feel the tension in him. With one look, the receptionist cand stood in Gigi’s way. “Ms. Reece, Mr.
Royden still has smeetings to attend. Please step aside.”
“I'm not leaving!” Gigi shouted, “Edgar, the reason you don’t want to seeis all because of Jean, isn’t it? She
sawlast night... She must've talked bad aboutto you. I’m not that kind of person. Edgar, you can’t just
believe her words.”
Jean's eyes turned icy. She stood unmoving at the side. She slowly clenched her fist and crumpled the proposal
in her hands. Gigi Reece was someone unsalvageable.
At this moment, Serena walked in with Joey. She was stunned for a second by the scene in front of her.
“Why's everyone here? Mr. Reece, are you here to talk business?”
Sam was full of hatred when he saw the two who stole Reece Group's stocks, but he had to swallow that hatred.
“We have a personal agenda with Mr. Royden.”
“Is that so? Do we still need to talk about the project, Mr. Royden? Or should Jean and | wait for you?” Serena
was all smiles, and she looked like a warm person.
A glint of cruelty flashed past Sam’s eyes. This woman devours people for breakfast, yet she’s hiding her true
self.
“There's no need. Let's go to the meeting room.” Edgar walked right past Gigi and went into the meeting room.
Gigi was being pulled back by sof Royden Group’s employees. She had no way to get close to Edgar.
She shouted, “Edgar, giveone more chance. Letexplain everything.”
Serena turned to Edgar and asked, “Did you fight with your wife?”
“There's nothing between her and me.” Edgar said this and walked into the meeting room Miles had just opened
the door to.
The sides of Serena’s lips lifted up, “I’ve heard a lot of things about you, Mr. Royden. | didn’t realize they were all
rumors.” She said this as she sneaked a glance at Jean like she had meant something else.
At the stime, Edgar's gaze was also fixed on Jean.
It was tense between the three of them.
Jean opened up the proposal in her hand and said, “Tis precious. Let's get down to business.”
Serena stopped chattering and focused all her attention on the proposal. Ranford International had one of the
best teams in the artificial intelligence field, so she had a lot of authority over what went on in the proposal. In
other words, out of the three groups, Ranford International was the one they couldn't do without. This fact was
what gave Serena the confidence to negotiate. She listed a list of conditions that were extremely beneficial to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRanford International.
In actual fact, Edgar wasn’t interested in this proposal. The only reason he had joined was because of Jean. He
stayed quiet throughout the whole meeting and kept glancing at Jean.
After checking all the details, Jean requested that they sign a new agreement contract.
“This is to protect our benefits.”
“I don’t think there's a need. This project is out in the open. | provide the tools, Mr. Royden, the money, and Ms.
Eyer. You just... need to wait for the interest.” Serena said plainly with a smile.
She completely wrote off the effort the Eyer Group employees had put into this project.
Jean couldn't stand her employees being belittled. She was about to explain when Edgar stood up.
“Let’s do our best. The door’s over there.”
Serena nodded in understanding.
They seemed pretty amicable.
Joey left with Serena. She glanced at Edgar once more before walking out of the meeting room. She rushed up to
Serena and said, “Ms. Campbell, something doesn’t feel right. Could Mr. Royden’s request to join the project be
because of...”
“Stop creating scenarios in your head. The business is secure. Anyone who joins will have a hard tgetting
out. Even Edgar Royden wouldn't be able to get out.” Serena snickered. She put on her sunglasses and walked
out of the building.
It wouldn’t be long now until Ranford International would be equal to Royden Group.
Joey felt uneasy but she shook her head and followed Serena. Content belongs to Nével.Org
In the office, Jean was gritting her teeth. This was evidence of powerlessness as she could only listen at the
negotiation table. But luckily, she had gotten Eyer Group as many benefits as she could.
Rachel was tidying things up, but she sat soulless while waiting for Jean after that.
Miles could not stand it. Is it this girl's first day at work?
He went over and said, “Ms. Sander, | need you to have a look at sdocuments. Could you please cwith
me?”
“Documents? What documents? | don’t...” Rachel looked at Miles with a confused and dazed expression. She
hadn't finished her sentence when he pulled her out of the door.
‘Bang’
The door of the office slowly closed, and only the two of them were left in the room.
Jean tried to leave but was fiercely blocked by Edgar.
“Why is everyone trying to block my
way today? Mr. Royden, let me
remind you that Gigi is still waiting
for you outside. Stop wasting tby

Edgar wanted to re-marry her. If it
weren't because him joining this
project would give Eyer Group a
golden opportunity, she wouldn't be
here. It did not do them both any
good to be in a continuous
stalemate. The content is on

“We're in Royden Group. You should be careful of what you say.” He said and then stood up. His eyes were fixed
so intently on Jean that it was like he was boring holes into her. He stepped closer, and Jean's heartbeat
accelerated.
“Edgar, do you really think that | won't call the police? | don’t mind helping you plaster your nover the front
of the paper.” Jean glowered at the man in front of her while chewing on her lip.

“Mr. Royden, are you okay?”
It was then Jean realized that the

he disrdgafded His health and went
back to work as soon as he could.

Edgar's face was pale, but he motioned to Miles to step away. He was about to say something to Jean but
realized that she had left the room. The thoughts in his brain suddenly stopped tumbling around madly.
“Mr. Royden, are you okay?” Miles asked in a small voice as he scrutinized Edgar's expression.
Edgar fixed his gaze on the ceiling fan. He snorted self-deprecatingly, “Is it because I'm pushing her too hard, or
is it because she’s...”
Throughout the whole day, his brows stayed tightened as he thought about the words Jean had said that day. x
When Nathan cto look for him at night, he saw about ten managers lining up outside his office, waiting to
be reprimanded.
There was a pressing tension in the office. It made Nathan want to turn around and leave.
“Mr. Knox, could you please talk to Mr. Royden?”
“Letguess. Is it because of Jean Eyer?”
