Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286 Visiting

The news immediately circulated across Royden Group after Edgar left Knox Residence. The board of directors looked remorseful and nervous as they stood in front of him.

With one glance, Edgar knew that they were just pretending. “Stop acting! All of you want Andy back in Royden Group? Sure, you have my consent. Any more requests?”

Bryce looked frantic as he kept shaking his head, “No, no, Mr. Royden. We are not trying to mediate in this fiasco caused by Vice Pre… Andy. We hope you will pursue him and never let him return to Royden Group.”

Edgar scrunched his brows together. “As far as I know, Andy has always been good to you, Mr. Hart. And now you choose to betray him for your own benefit?”

Bryce snorted coldly, “He turned his back on me first, and I’m doing this for the sake of Royden Group.” “So, you know Royden Group’s reputation is marred because of the mess all of you have created.”

Edgar’s eyes turned gloomy.

“All of you are required to surrender your share, and each of you are only entitled to not more than five percent of shares. I want to see the handover procedure done before next Monday.”

Edgar’s decision took Bryce and the others by shock.

“Please, Mr. Royden. Please don’t do this to us.”

“What happens if Royden Group becomes insolvent because of the mess you created? Do you think you have the right to bargain with me?”

Edgar was a man of his word.

It was futile for the board of directors to plead with him. They exchanged a forlorn gaze with each other, sighed and left.

“Forget about it, Mr. Hart. Just take this as a lesson. We should be grateful for Mr. Royden for not driving us out of the company by force.”

Bryce understood as well.

But he was resentful of Andy for implicating himself in this predicament again. This time, he must retaliate against Andy!

Then, they entered the elevator.

Meanwhile, the elevator next door opened and out came Susan and Jean with food.

“Excuse me, may I know where Mr. Royden’s office is?” Jean went to the front desk and asked.

The staff was dumbfounded when she saw Jean, “Ms. Eyer…”

Susan immediately pulled Jean away, “There… Over there.”

Alas, Susan could only breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Miles standing outside the office, “Hurry up. She’s here for Mr. Royden.”

Jean beamed a smile, “I brought some food for him. Can you help me bring it in?”

Miles was startled and immediately opened the door.

Jean wasn’t supposed to be seen in public. He would definitely get fired if something happened to her.

Edgar lifted his head and cast an eye at the door when he heard some noise, “What’s going on?”

His face dimmed the moment he saw Jean. He quickly walked over, pulled her into his office, shut the door and drew the blinds.

Jean was disconcerted by his perturbed reaction.

“Did I come at a wrong time?” She pursed her lips in abashment, “I just wanted to bring you some food.”

Edgar was frantic as he involuntarily clenched his grip on Jean’s shoulders. He looked strung up.

“You’re hurting me, Edgar.” Jean said softly.

Only then did the man realize and loosened his hands.

“I’m sorry.”

He still looked disconcerted, so Jean asked inquisitively, “Edgar, am I not supposed to be here?”

Jean’s unpremeditated question had Edgar raising his guard.

He turned his head and fixed his eyes on Jean’s face.

Although he didn’t speak, his expression said it all.

Jean beamed a soft and demure smile. She seemed to just be asking casually. She then turned around, walked to the table, took out the food, and muttered, “I made this soup for you. There are fruits too. No matter how busy you are at work, you must remember to eat on time.”

She turned around and smiled sweetly at him, “Have a taste of my cooking.”
