Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Jean was deep in her thoughts, occasionally glancing at the door of Edgar's office. He had a sudden meeting with clients and had to go out, so she was the only person in the office.

There are cameras at the door and behind the desk.

If they could be temporarily blocked...

Jean grabbed her mug tightly.

I don't want to be seen as a thief, but if I miss this opportunity, I have no idea how much longer I have to wait.

Ten minutes later, after Edgar finished the meeting with his client, he walked back to his office with Miles beside him.

"Mr.Royden, Mr.Shaw is looking for you."

With that, he passed the phone to Edgar.

After picking it up, he stopped right at his door as soon as he heard what Andy was telling him.

Through the windows, he seemed to see Jean's figure disappear over the couch.

With a frown on his face, he listened to Andy's warning.

"You know very well that Jean is looking for opportunities to take revenge on you.Royden Group simply cannot take any more upheavals, so you'd better settle your private matters, lest they affect the company's future prospects."

Andy grinned.

"If she really went to steal something from your safe, it shows that there's nothing wrong with her ears. In that case, you have to discuss about dissolving the contract between both companies. Oh, and by the way, I founded this company with you, and we have worked together all this while.I want to get back what I deserve' Edgar passed the phone back to Miles indifferently.

"Tell all the employees on this floor that they can go home now."

"Yes, Mr.Royden" he replied with a nod.

Edgar took a deep breath before opening the door of his office. He looked around vigilantly, but he didn't see Jean. His gaze became colder as he set his eyes on the smaller room in his office.

If she's in there...

Grabbing the door handle, he finally stopped hesitating.

If so, she believed in Andy. She forced me to do this.

"You're back?"

Suddenly, her voice rang from behind him. He immediately turned around and looked at her with conflicting emotions.

"What's wrong?"

She looked at him before lowering her head to look at the coffee stain on her shirt.

"It was an accident, so I went to the washroom"

Still staring at her, he slowly smiled.

"Are you hungry? Let's go for dinner: "'m not-"

But before she could finish her sentence, he had already walked out of the room. Looking at his back, she pressed her lips into a fine line. It was so close.

If I was quicker I could have opened the safe, Between my family and him, I will never choose him, and I can never afford to choose him. There's no turning back for me now.

The place Edgar regularly frequented was meant only for upper-class socialites.

As soon as he appeared, the staff immediately welcomed him warmly.

The restaurant manager walked to them briskly and asked, "Same spot, Mr.Royden?"

He nodded inconspicuously.

As they walked inside, she followed behind them quietly.

"Mr.Royden, we've come up with several new dishes - you have to try them out"

The manager smiled widely at him.

"This way, please."

No one paid any attention to Jean, who was behind them. She could have been invisible for all they cared.

"Mr.Royden?"

The manager opened the door for Edgar, but he didn't move at all.

Instead, he turned around and looked at Jean sullenly before motioning to her to come closer.

In an instant, everyone focused on her. She was not used to being the center of attention, so she walked over with her head hung low.

Feeling his gaze on her, she frowned.it's becoming harder to please him.

"Bring Mr.Royden a bottle of wine immediately! It's on the house."

The manager quickly grasped the situation.

"Welcome, Ms.Eyer"

The rumors of Edgar inviting his ex-wife to a high-end restaurant just to please her quickly spread among the circles.

They even said that he spent a lot of money on her in public.

Of course, the news spread like wildfire.

Just as Jean finished eating and wiped her lips, she heard a commotion behind her.

Sam walked through the door in huge strides, followed by Winnie, who was wearing a grey coat.

"How shameless, the pair of you!"

Sam had broken all ties with Edgar, and was not even showing him any respect. He pointed at Edgar and berated, "My daughter sacrificed so much to be with you! Yet, you...let her down!"

Jean chewed on the last mouthful of chicken until it became flavorless before swallowing it.

Did they just realize his true character? No, they knew it from the beginning.

At this moment, someone shoved Jean.No matter how much they whined and complained, they still did not dare to hurt Edgar.

In fact, Sam was the only person who dared to holler at him.

Then, everyone looked at Jean accusingly.

She turned around and looked at them plainly.

As her gaze swept past Sam's indignant face and fell on Winnie, the latter quickly hid behind Sam's back En just as she narrowed her eyes.

But he quickly pushed Winnie in front of him.

"I know everything about your past with the Eyer family, but you're Gigi's stepmom now."

So, after becoming a part of their family, they're going to unite against others? Jean smirked as she shot a glance at Winnie, who did not even dare to look at her.

Just as she was about to say something, she received a text message on her phone.

After seeing the contents, her eyes widened in shock.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

On the other hand, Winnie understood Sam's underlying meaning in his words.

He was a grown man, and he was Jean's senior.

On top of that, he knew her late father, so if he gave her a hard time, he would be ridiculed.

However, Winnie was different; she could take revenge for Gigi, and even start a catfight with Jean. Contents belong

In order to stay with the Reece family Tyne and enjoy their fortune, Winnie gritted her teeth, walked to Jean and whispered to her, "Help me put on a show here, for your father's sake.”

Before she could continue, Jean shoved her and glared at Sam with reddened eyes.

While Winnie was still stunned, she had already walked past her and reached Sam.

"Before my dad died, didn't you visit him and go see a lawyer with him?"

She only found out about that today.

In fact, she didn't even know that Sam knew her father.

Upon hearing that, even Edgar frowned.

After Eyer Group declared bankruptcy, he sent people to follow Gary, but he was unaware of this.

"Say something!"

Countless possibilities emerged in Jean's mind as she looked squarely into Sam's eyes, worried that she might miss something.

"Nonsense! I barely knew your father! Stop pushing your family matters onto me.We are talking about you seducing my son-in-law now!"
