Chapter 71 Another Dispute

Jean’s reasoning was factual and objective. She wasn’t blinded by hatred but even recognized the mature business operation of Royden Group.

“So, in my humble opinion, Royden Group is still the best option among the other potential business partners. What do you think?” Jean smiled.

Kennedy couldn’t help praising, “What you said is exactly what I thought, Miss Eyer. I didn’t mean to keep you guessing, but I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise from you.”

Jean lifted her champagne glass and said, “I’m looking forward to the collaboration.”

Kennedy lifted his wine glass too, but he did not drink the wine after clinking the glass with Jean.

“Miss Eyer, may I ask you a question?”

“Go ahead.”

“Why are you helping him?”

Kennedy was referring to Edgar.

Jean’s eyes darkened as she placed the champagne glass aside. “We were husband and wife, after all. He’ll lose my respect if he’s defeated by a matter like this.”

Moreover, Royden Group will collapse eventually, but I have to be the one who causes their fall.

Jean was determined to personally watch the prestigious Edgar fall. Through this cooperation, the message she wanted to send Edgar was that she was able to affect the fate of Royden Group.

While Kennedy naturally didn’t perceive the implicit meaning behind Jean’s words, the man behind the curtain heard it loud and clear. Jean’s hatred toward Edgar was more intense than before, but now, she wouldn’t act recklessly. She was patiently waiting for an opportunity to take him down.

Edgar rubbed the silver watch on his wrist as coldness spread across his face.

A few minutes later, Jean invented an excuse to walk away while Edgar showed up at the right time. Two of them displayed perfect teamwork. After having some small talks with Kennedy, Edgar went straight to the point and offered Kennedy a price so low that he couldn’t reject it.

Mr. Oprah wore a profound smile. “I’m sure you’ve heard the conversation between Miss Eyer and me just now. Why did you still offer me such a low price?”

“I don’t want to miss the chance to collaborate with an outstanding partner like your company. Looking forward to working with you.”

Edgar lifted his wine glass. The clinking sound of the glasses reminded him of a business meeting one night.

That night, Jean had called him several times, but he did not answer the calls.

At that time, they were not married yet. Edgar’s friends were envious of him for having such a caring fiancée, but Edgar was well aware that Jean was trying to get him to attend Gary’s birthday banquet. Of course, he wouldn’t want to go because he was just using Jean from the very first day. There wouldn’t possibly be true feelings between them.

The event was still ongoing, and there would be a runway show at the center stage fifteen minutes later.

Jean checked the time and thought it was about time to leave.

Little did she think that Gigi was coming after her.

“Stop there, Jean Eyer!” Gigi lifted her dress while walking toward Jean with her eyes filled with hatred.

Jean turned to glance at Gigi, thinking the latter was being ridiculous. “What is it?”

“Why did you seduce Edgar again? He already has a fiancée, you shameless b*tch!”

Gigi’s voice was loud enough to attract the nearby guests’ attention. They came forward and saw the extravagantly dressed Gigi scowling at Jean, who was looking calm and elegant. There was indeed a world of difference between the two women.

Nonetheless, the crowd gazed at Jean in a disdainful manner when they heard Gigi’s accusation.

A staff from MON & Co. witnessed the scene from afar and quickly took a picture of it to send it in the office group chat. ‘Miss Anna, Jean got herself into a dispute again.’

At that moment, Anna was helping Melody Chance pick a ring backstage. She was so furious when she received the message that she directly replied with a voice message. “Can’t you guys keep an eye on Jean? Tell her that if she gets herself into trouble again, she’ll be fired immediately!”

Melody lifted her eyes to look into the mirror and pretended to ask her assistant in a nonchalant manner, “Who prepared these accessories?”

“It’s Jean Eyer from MON & Co. She seems to be a new joiner. Miss Melody, we still have time to change them if you’re not happy with them.” The assistant answered.

Melody posed in the mirror and said with a smile. “I like them very much. Get her to pick my accessories too for future shows.”

After saying that, she casually picked a golden ring and walked toward the stage.

Anna understood Melody’s intention. She wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead and spat through gritted teeth, “Ugh! Jean Eyer…”

Thereafter, she left her work aside and hurried to the scene.

She couldn’t let Jean get into a dispute with Gigi because Royden Group had Gigi’s back!

There was already a group of spectators surrounding the scene when Anna arrived. “Excuse me.” She squeezed through the crowd to see Gigi crying at the spot while Jean was already nowhere to be seen.

“What happened? Did Jean hit Gigi?” Anna grabbed Sally and asked.

Sally shook her head.

“Why is she crying then?” Anna frowned. As an experienced designer, she had come across countless celebrities and artists. Given Gigi’s qualifications, even if she had strong support, she wouldn’t be able to succeed without good acting skills and capabilities.

Everyone showed her respect merely because Royden Group was supporting her. Without Edgar, no one would even care if Gigi bawled her eyes out at the event.

Sally parted her lips and uttered slowly, “She’s crying because she is driven mad by Jean. Jean is too good at arguing.”

“What?” Anna was rendered speechless. “Where’s Jean?”

“Ben brought her away to the back.” The scene of Jean retorting Gigi was still replaying in Sally’s mind. How she wished she could remember every word that Jean had said so that she could put them to use the next time she was involved in an argument.

Shortly thereafter, Gigi couldn’t force tears out of her eyes anymore and could only blink her eyes which were applied with heavy makeup.

Initially, she planned to cry until Edgar came to look for her. However, there were more spectators gathering around after she continued crying for a while, and Edgar still didn’t appear.

“Gigi, let’s leave first. Your makeup is all ruined now, and it’ll be no good if the reporters captured pictures of you in this state.” Linda whispered next to Gigi’s ear.

If that happens, the company still has to spend money to get her down from the trending topics. Oh, but wait a minute, given Gigi’s popularity, she won’t become a trending topic even if her unglamorous pictures are exposed.

Gigi gnashed her teeth resentfully. “Where’s Edgar?”

“I’m not sure. I haven’t seen Mr. Royden since just now. Come on, let’s go.” Linda forcefully pulled Gigi up from the ground.

Gigi wiped away her tears and had no choice but to leave with Linda.

From afar, Edgar was standing by the rail upstairs. The conversation between him and Kennedy had just ended, and he witnessed how Jean retorted Gigi mercilessly.

Standing behind him, Miles asked in a low voice, “Mr. Royden, the contract has been drafted. When would you like to fly back?”
