Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Refused from Joining the Royden Group

Jean went to MON & Co. and stumbled upon Monica’s car at the entrance. Monica waved at her, gesturing Jean into her car as if she knew Jean would come today. Jean uttered half-heartedly, “Director Weller, I’m actually here to sort out my resignation.”

In fact, she really wanted to stay and carry through her ambition but…

Monica turned the steering wheel before she handed Jean a business card, “You have learned a lot in MON & Co. It’s not a bad idea for you to be an independent designer, given your talent. You don’t have to waste time in the corporate.”

Jean’s eyes lit up, and she gladly accepted the business card. Jimmy, jewelry broker. “Contact him. He can help you in your endeavor.” Monica drove into the parking lot. Jean quizzed, “Why did you help me during the entire time, Director Weller?”

Monica turned off the car engine. She looked at Jean while leaning over, “Haven’t you heard something about me? I don’t just like going to parties but also like being with women.”

She purposely misled Jean. Then, she simpered and got off the car upon seeing Jean’s bewildered face. Jean was caught in a daze until she finally understood Monica’s meaning.

No way! Very soon, everyone in the company were aware of Jean’s resignation.

Sally and Kellan came to send her off. Sally wept like a poor little child, “Will you please stay, Jean? I’m going to miss you so much. I will be so insecure and lonely without you here.”

Jean smiled as she looked at Sally, who had always been dependent on her, and then she looked at Kellan beside Sally, “Don’t you have a guardian angel now?”

Sally was stunned, and immediately, her face flushed in crimson.

Kellan immediately remarked, “Don’t worry, I will take good care of her.”

“You… What are you talking about! Did I say I need your protection?” Sally bantered Kellan as she wiped away her tears, “Then what happens to you after this?”

She overheard that Jean had a colossal debt to pay.

How would she live without a job? She had no income!

Jean shook her head, “We’ll see.”

Join the Royden Group?

No f*cking way!

She would compromise for Ben, but she would never compromise to that extent. She wanted to explore the option that Monica mentioned just now — to be an independent designer.

But only if that man would stop intervening in her life.

“By the way, Jean, have you heard about Mr. Wilton and Zoe?” Sally moved closer to Jean and whispered, “Everyone in the company said they are…”

Sally divulged all the gossip surrounding Zoe and Mr. Wilton to Jean.

The information was too sinister for Jean to process.

Sky Wilton broke one of his legs. Zoe attempted suicide by drinking poison the other night, but fortunately, a neighbor saved her in time. Too bad, she had lost her voice as a result of impaired vocal cords.

Alas, both of them left Yorktown together two nights ago.

Nobody knew why and what happened.

“Don’t you think it’s strange? Mr. Wilton gave up everything he had accomplished in the jewelry industry and took Zoe abroad. He doesn’t seem like a hasty person.”

It was indeed unusual of Mr. Wilton to undertake that path.

More like they were forced or threatened, and had no choice but to leave the country at once.

A possibility popped up in Jean’s mind, “I still have something to do. I’ll leave first.”

She got into a taxi and straightaway rushed to the Royden Group. At this time, Edgar should be in the office. But this time, Jean didn’t barge into his office.

She didn’t wish the same awkward situation as the previous time to happen again.

Instead, she gave Miles a call.

A few minutes later, she got on to Edgar’s designated elevator and went up to his office.

“Miss Eyer, please wait for Mr. Royden here.”

“Here?” Jean knitted her brows. Not a good idea. What if Edgar accused her of stealing his things?

But before she could say anything, Miles had already closed the door and left.

Jean was bored. She glanced at the bookshelves. The rows of collectible books attracted her attention, and she discovered a group photo in a slit.

At first glance, she could tell that this was a dated photo.
