Chapter 132 Satisfy Him
Edgar became furious as he turned around and glared at the ash-faced Jean, “What did you say?”
“Mr. Royden, your ears must be failing you. I said, I agree. Do whatever you want as long as the Racing Association comes to a new agreement.” It took all of Jean’s bravery to say this out loud. She was betting; betting on the chance that Ben Ludwig would take a better turn.
Whatever! What’s happened has already happened. Even if Edgar is a pervert, I can just deal with it; it’s only one night anyways.
Jean clenched her hands tightly together behind her back, afraid that it would tremble in front of Edgar.
Edgar took quick strides and came to stand in front of Jean. Jean bit her lower lip and tried not to show him that she was afraid. With a quiet voice, she asked, “How about tonight, Mr. Royden?”
“Okay, tonight it is.”
Edgar left as soon as he said. Once the door shut, all the strength in Jean seemed to leave her, and she stood in a daze, breathing in deeply, “He wouldn’t, no matter how things go, he wouldn’t…”
She could also plead in this way as she knew deep down that she had no idea how Edgar would treat her.
However, Edgar was the only person that could change Ben’s fate and give him a clean slate. Jean closed her eyes. I can only do this much.
A few minutes later, Miles knocked on the door, “Ms. Eyer, Mr. Royden’s car is waiting for you downstairs.”
“Okay.”
Jean forced herself up and stepped toward the elevator.
When she got to the car, there were no signs of Edgar, but without questioning anything, Jean got into the car. She had turned her phone to silent but was unconsciously clutching at it.
Miles opened the door and instructed the driver to head to Imperial Hotel, but he did not get into the car.
Jean frowned as the car slowly left the parking lot.
Edgar Royden, you just can’t be satisfied, can you.
Imperial Hotel was one of the top-rated hotels in Yorktown. It was exclusive, and those that had access to the VIP lounge were probably highly influential in Yorktown.
The moment Jean arrived at the lobby, one of the hotel managers came over to welcome her. “Ms. Eyer? Please follow me.”
As Jean walked into this opulent place, every step she took felt like she was walking into battle. The manager brought her to a door on one of the upper levels.
“Please enter.”
Jean could not tell what the smile on the manager’s face meant. She slowly reached out her hand and pulled open the door.
It wasn’t just a hotel room. It had a place for entertainment and drinks too. In the room, it wasn’t just Edgar, but several of his friends and business partners were there too.
Is he entertaining guests?
Everyone turned to look at her with her sudden appearance in the room.
Jonathan Jackson even snickered and mocked her, “Isn’t this Ms. Eyer? Haha, I can’t believe you came all the way here for our dear Mr. Royden.””
To them, Jean was the one that was taking actions and not letting go of Edgar.
Jean followed the light, to see Edgar sitting on a couch alone and holding a wine glass, looking like a king overseeing his subjects. In front of him, Jean was in no place to bargain. She ignored Jonathan’s taunts, took a deep breath and walked to stand before Edgar bravely.
‘Crash’
The glass in Jonathan’s hand fell to the ground. “Oh, sorry, my hand slipped. Ms. Eyer, could you…?”
