Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 131 Men Are All The Same

Jean never anticipated running across Edbert in this location. He looked to be transported back to more than a year

ago as she continued to converse with him.

“Thank you for bringing me here, but the past is the past,” she exclaimed. Edbert sighed, “Kids these days…”

Jean was the first to exit the elevator when it opened. Edbert’s assistance could not erase her anger towards the

Royden’s. Miles received news of her arrival and stopped her outside the office.

“Mr. Royden is with a guest, so please wait at the lounge.”

He urged her politely. Employees from the Royden Group congregated as news spread of Jean’s appearance.

Edbert was behind Jean and suggested, “If you’re ever bored, you can visit my office for a cup of tea.”

The employees started talking amongst each other. “Why is the vice president being chummy with Jean Eyer? Is he

trying to shoot another shot with her?”

“I think I read that somewhere that they were together before. Some time ago, Mr. Royden was caught on the

street with her…”

Upon hearing these words, Jean’s expression darkened.

“Miles, get out of the way. If I make trouble here, the scene is going to get more ugly,” threatened Jean.

“Jean,” exclaimed Miles. “Mr. Royden is with a guest now. It’s useless to intrude.”

“Fine, I’ll go to the lounge. You lead the way.”

Miles got up from his seat and proceeded to guide her. However, Jean sprinted past him and slammed open

Royden’s office.

He really is meeting with guests.

The guest turned out to be Sam Reece and his wife.

Jean’s presence left the whole conversation at a standstill. She ignored Sam’s berated cries and glared towards the

man behind the desk.

She had an intense look in her eyes.

When their eyes met, Edgar turned cold.

Edgar replied, “Miles, what is the meaning of this?”

“Sorry, Mr. Royden.”

Miles stepped forward and was accompanied by bodyguards.

She was overwhelmed and struggled to escape.

Sam was happy with Edgar’s actions and smiled. “Some people just don’t know their boundaries. I can’t believe her

mother raised a stalker. Such a shameful person.”

Jean stared at the ground and said nothing.

As he heard this, Edgar pursed his lips. “President Reece, where were we?”

To this day, he still addresses Sam Reece as such. His attitude towards him has not changed in the slightest.

No matter how angry Reece was, she had to tolerate it. You would be a fool to upset the Royden Group. “I just said

that Gigi and you should have another wedding. Even if you don’t, at least take her to live with you!”

She held her hands.

She nodded in agreement and smiled, “You and your spouse should also establish a solid relationship.” She

continued, “Yeah, Gigi’s body is in need of care right now, but sometimes, as parents, it’s not simple for us to

intervene.”

Edgar grew irritated and asked, “Is this what you mean as business? Didn’t Mr. Reece mention he wanted to discuss

the matter before he came?”

He was sick of people robbing him of his time during working hours.

Edgar was aware of Gigi Reece’s motive. She consistently told lies, particularly towards her favor.

“This is business. If Gigi is onboard, your relationship will be last. The cooperation between our two companies will

last longer!”

Edgar’s eyes betrayed his composed stance. He held his pen and answered.

“Okay, I’ll consider it. Please leave.”

“What are you thinking about? Tell me the address, the villa or apartment to send her to, and I’ll send a car to take

her there in a moment!” the man said.

Sam Reece had a fake smile the entire time. He looked like he was plotting this whole event.

Was he marrying his daughter or giving her away?

Edgar rose from his armchair. “I will think about it. I’ll contact you shortly, but right now, I have a guest to attend

to.”

Sam Reece said from behind him, “You just left to see that woman?”

He might have chased after him to talk to Edgar Royden if Jean hadn’t pulled him.

Edgar still insisted on talking to Jean, even with that bombshell of a proposal.

Realization dawned on Sam, and he stormed out of the office in anger. However, Jean grew restless.

What now…

Jean Eyer was not in the mood for coffee.

As soon as the door opened, she stood up and marched right into Edgar’s office. “There is something wrong with

the decision of the Racing Association. The situation at that time was definitely not an accident, it must be man-

made.”

Edgar calmly said, “And where is your evidence?” He sat down on his chair and crossed his legs. There was this

dark expression on his face, “You can blindly trust Ben’s judgement, but I don’t. The Racing Association has no

room for that.”

Jean and Ben were the only two individuals in that car.

Ben’s feelings played a huge role in her judgement.

Jean replied coldly, “Ben is injured. Why would he fabricate such a lie?”

Edgar grinned. “Well, for one thing, you were involved in the accident too.”

“You…”

Jean clenched her fists. “Not everyone plays dirty like you.”

Edgar sneered, “Dirty?” He walked towards Jean and grabbed her shoulder. “Isn’t he guarding you day and night?

Why do you think that is? You’re property, nothing more,” whispered Edgar. “That’s his motive. All men are the

same. What they want is to get into your pants.”

Jean raised her hand to strike him.

Edgar caught her wrists and held her down.

His heart was filled with emotions that he shouldn’t be feeling. He continued to look into her eyes.

When he spoke again, there was a growl in his voice.

“As an investor, I can ask the Racing Association to re-judgment. On the condition that you stay with me overnight.”

“Are you crazy?”

Jean’s eyes widened. She struggled hard but couldn’t escape his embrace.

“Ah…”

His torso cast a shadow on Jean. He leaned down and drawled. “Why, are you afraid? Didn’t you hear me? I want

you.”

Jean’s throat was strangled by his hand.

Her dignity and pride were all trampled on by this man.

“Jean, you brought it to the door yourself,” he warned. Edgar continued, “Besides you, do you even have any

bargaining chips to negotiate with me?” He threw her away like a ragdoll, and Jean slammed into the coffee table.

Ben to negotiate with him?

Edgar had this feral look in his eyes. This girl had the nerve!

Anger bubbled in Edgar.

He was about to exit the office before Jean’s words stopped him.

“I’ll do it.”
