Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 522

Chapter 522

The room fell silent.

Some directors had known about this news but dared not say anything.

It was a fight between Edgar and Edbert Royden, and they dared not offend either of them.

They could only stay neutral and watch, so they could choose which side to stand on when it was time.

As soon as Xena finished speaking, Miles immediately took out his phone. He wanted to make a call to confirm this news.

However, Edgar raised his hand and stopped Miles.

Miles stopped and stood by Edgar's side.

When Xena saw Edgar's face darken, she thought the method Edbert taught her had succeeded. She thought she held the upper hand. She smiled in satisfaction.

"Mr.Edgar, this project will bring a lot of profit to our company.I intend to tell the project department to convert the company to our subsidiary company in the next quarter."

"That means that starting from August, there will be no Eyer Group in Yorktown. No matter how great it was in the past, it has gone bankrupt and is sold off. That means it's useless now." Edbert did not teach her to say this. It was Xena's thoughts. She was too jealous of Jean, so she wanted to use words to hurt Jean to get even. So she did not watch her words.

However, she did not expect Edgar to get furious when he heard her words.

No words were able to describe the look on his face.

Xena would already be dead if Edgar's looks could kill.

The directors noticed Edgar's change in expression.

They lowered their heads in fear.

On the other hand, Xena did not notice anything wrong until Edgar chided her.

"I am the decision maker in Royden Group. Who are you to decide? From now on, you will take responsibility for any loss the group suffers from this project' Xena was stunned. She only managed to speak after a long while.

"The project has already started. If the company puts in money, it will work. How could there be any losses?"

Everyone in the company knew that Xena had made many mistakes during her internship. She had never done anything right.

How does she have the guts to challenge Edgar? "Miles, teach her the process of acquisitions and all the things she must take note of during the process. Let her copy it a thousand times if she cannot remember."

Edgar got up and ordered coldly, "Meeting is adjourned."

All the directors got up and nodded at him as he left.

They gave Xena a sympathetic look.

When Edbert brought her into the company, some had speculated that she might become one of Royden Group's successors.

But after seeing her apprehensive over just a few words from Edgar, they doubted if she could fight him.

"I think it would be Mr. Edgar."

"He is still young, after all. He is young and talented. Not anyone can win against him."

The directors left in small groups.

Xena's eyes were full of fury.She quickly took out her phone and checked the script Edbert had taught her. She confirmed every single word and mumbled to herself, "I didn't say anything wrong!" Their initial plan was to take over Eyer Group after all. George, who was standing at a side, said helplessly.

"You were too impatient. You stepped over Mr. Edgar's line."

"And what was it?"

"Jean"

He was okay with it if they wanted to touch Eyer Group. He was more than happy for someone to instigate the acquisition of Eyer Group among the directors.

That way, he would have more of a reason to approach Jean.

But Xena's words were too mean just now, so it had angered Edgar.

At the same time.

Jean was at the hospital, accompanying Gigi for her check-up. She had promised that her full cooperation, so she had to have a complete health check-up before being admitted. "Ms.Eyer, please turn around."

Andrew checked the room temperature and pushed his glasses higher as he spoke.

Nathan walked nearer to her and said, "He is one of the doctors under my brother's supervision. Even though he is young, he is competent. You can be rest assured" "Thank you."

Jean smiled.

The sound of footsteps was heard from behind.

Rachel hurried over with sweat on her forehead.

"Ms.Eyer, Royden Group has gone against their words! They submitted the documentation for acquisition without our consent. The acquisition is already in progress."

It meant that Eyer Group would be Royden Group's in less than forty-eight hours.

Jean frowned.

"Let me think."

Rachel immediately passed the documents to Jean.

"I've also received an email from the staff there..."

Edgar was not such an impatient person.

Moreover, he had given his word before he would call off acquiring Eyer Group.

Why would he go against his words suddenly?

"Ms.Eyer, what should we do now?"

Rachel was anxious.

"Furthermore, Royden Group reduced the acquisition price by half. His actions were indeed despicable! "Jean, this is not what Edgar would do."

Nathan, listening beside them, felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. He could not help but speak up for Edgar.

Jean thought for a moment before she spoke.

"Rachel, call the lawyer."

She spoke while walking quickly out of the hospital.

Rachel promptly caught up with Jean, "Okay, Ms.Eyer."

Nathan could only follow behind anxiously.

He quickly called Edgar, "What's going on? Are you acquiring Eyer Group at half price? Jean is anxious and furious!"

Edgar's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I know: Then the call ended.

Nathan stared at his phone blankly.

"Why are these two people calmer than I am?"

Edgar had been waiting for Jean's call since he hung up on Nathan. He thought she might come to his office to argue with him. He had already come up with several ways to compensate her. However, she did neither of those.

She did not even get a lawyer to negotiate with him.

It was as if Jean had accepted Royden Group's evil plan to acquire Eyer Group and approved him snatching it.

This wasn't supposed to be her reaction.

Edgar walked two rounds around the office.

Finally, he could not stand it anymore and made the phone call.

As soon as the call connected, he said, "We still have to settle this matter. You can't hide from me forever. Where are you now? I'll replace you, and we can talk face-to-face."

But it wasn't Jean who answered him.It was Julia. She retorted, "What did you do again, you rascal? Jean is not at home. She forgot her phone."

'Beep" The call ended.

The courage Edgar had finally managed to muster up disappeared right away.

Did she go out? But she never came to Royden Group.

Edgar picked up his coat and headed out. He was worried about Jean and her baby.If anything happened halfway, she could not get immediate help.

However, as soon as he got downstairs. He received a message from an unknown number.

It was a photo.

Two people were sitting opposite each other.

One of them was Jean.

And the person sitting opposite her passed a glass of fruit juice to her.

It was Hugo.

"She didn't come looking for me and wasn't dealing with the company's acquisition either. Instead, she's eating with this guy? Well, Jean, you really have grown up."The call ended.
