Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 He Had No Right to Do That

No matter how bad-tempered Edgar was, Jean remained calm. “Mr. Royden, while you can take up my working hours as a business partner of Eyer Group, you have no right to question my private life.” Edgar stared at her confident expression and clenched his fist.

“I…” However, before he could speak, Jean stepped out of the elevator and dashed to the meeting room. Miles stood by the door, holding a stack of documents. He noticed Edgar and Jean’s stern expressions and did not dare to speak.

“Give her all the documents, and don’t let her leave until she has memorized them all,” Edgar ordered fiercely and left. He could not resist bursting into fury whenever Jean opposed him.

It angered him to see her treating the Ludwig family members so nicely. Edgar rubbed his temple and felt he had gone mad. Meanwhile, Nathan heard what happened and rushed to Edgar as soon as he finished work. “You gave Eyer Group such a lucrative project. Those old geezers in your company must be furious.”

Edgar looked up indifferently. He knew the different fractions in Royden Group were now at war against him. Some had received benefits from Ludwig Group, while others were trying to get close to Sans Group. That was why Edgar could not let them have the project.

“Giving the project to Eyer Group allows me to remain in control. This project shall determine the financial standing of Royden Group for the coming three years. Thus, there can be no mistake.”

Edgar had always done things thoroughly and would never allow anyone to stand in the way of his desired outcome. Nathan nodded upon hearing Edgar but could not resist adding, “I’m worried you are being too merciful to Jean. Once this project succeeds, Eyer Group will receive many benefits too.”

Perhaps Jean might even take advantage of the opportunity to advance Eyer Group. Then, Edgar’s revenge plan from a year ago will fail miserably. Edgar’s voice turned somber. “Let’s just say I am compensating her for the wrong I’ve done.”

At this moment, Jean came out of the meeting room with a stack of documents and heard what Edgar said. His fingers turned pale as she gripped the documents tightly, threatening to crumple them. Compensation?

Nothing can fully compensate me for the hurt I have gone through. “Ms. Eyer?” Miles came over with coffee and noticed Jean standing by the door with an unreadable expression.

“Tell Edgar he has given me too many documents that I can’t memorize them. Furthermore, he has no right to restrict my freedom.” Jean concealed her emotions and continued, “If he dares to rescind the agreement, I will sue him until he is bankrupt.”

Jean left right after saying that. Is he refusing to let me interact with the Ludwig family because he can’t stand seeing me with Ben?

Jean pulled out her phone to dial Ben’s number. However, she suddenly hesitated because she did not wish to take advantage of Ben. If she did, she would be no different from Edgar.

“Jean.” It turned out Ben was already waiting for her outside. He ran to her and asked, “Is the negotiation done?”

Ben was concerned that Edgar would bully her. Thus, he observed her expression closely. Jean replied briefly, “Yes, it’s done.” Ben frowned at her response. “Did he do something to you? I won’t let him get away with it!”

Although Ben was far less influential and powerful than Edgar, he would not hesitate to defend Jean. “Ben, don’t bother about him. I’m hungry.” Jean tugged his sleeve. She looked tired.

Ben frowned upon seeing how tired she was. “Yes, let’s have dinner.”

Then, they got into the car and left. Unbeknownst to them, someone was staring at them from a window upstairs.

Nathan could not stand seeing Edgar like this. “You have already took revenge against the Eyer family. Why are you still watching her every move? You said she could seek revenge against you, but she is too powerless to do that now.”

Nathan wasn’t trying to undermine Jean. It was the truth. Jean had already paid all her debts. Thus Nathan felt Edgar should stop going against Jean all the time. After all, Jean could not pose a threat to him.

Edgar stood by the window with his arms crossed. He looked out coldly for a long time before saying, “But this is the only way I can think of.”

“What do you mean?” Nathan could not understand what Edgar was saying. At the same time, Nathan noticed that Edgar seemed lost and downcast. He had never seen Edgar like this in all the years he had known him.
