Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347 She’s the Exception

Miles nodded. He explained what happened during the meeting. Nathan said promptly, “I’m not able to help. I’ll be leaving right after I pass him something.”

Miles rushed over and pleaded anxiously, “Mr. Knox, there’s virtually no one except you who I can think of that could talk Mr. Royden out of this.”

It was strange for the all-able businessman, stolid and influential Edgar Royden, to get so worked up over his ex-wife. So glum and vulnerable!

“His admirers will be shocked if they see him so keyed up because of love.” Nathan muttered while wagging his head helplessly, “I’ll give it a try but don’t get your hopes up.”

After all, Edgar was stubborn and idealistic; it wasn’t an easy task to change his mind. “Of course, of course. We really appreciate your help, Mr. Knox.”

Miles immediately pushed the door open and let Nathan in. Wow! Edgar hurled a document. It flew and created an arch before it tumbled at the manager’s feet.

Edgar yelled, “Why are you wasting my time with this rubbish?” The manager looked terrified. The poor thing was trembling uncontrollably, “I’m sorry, Mr. Royden. I’ll revise it immediately.”

Edgar shot a grave stare at him before moving on to the next document. Nathan hacked his throat, “Edgar, I have something to tell you. Let them go out first.”

Edgar looked at him and didn’t say anything. Nathan immediately chased the managers out, “Go, go out now!”

Only then did the terror-stricken managers return to their senses and scurry out of the office. When the door closed, all of them whined painstakingly, “What’s wrong with Mr. Royden? He almost made me pee my pants.”

“It must be related to the Reece family…”

Subsequently, the rumor made its way across the whole of Royden Group.

Miles had exhausted his wits at unplugging the rumor, but his effort was futile.

An anonymous employee even set up a ballot for the employees to stake against Edgar’s love triangle. Some supported Edgar and Jean in getting back together, while others wanted Edgar and Gigi together.

The supposition about their love triangle was getting blown out of proportion.

However, the only thing that could be sure was that Edgar was very lenient with Eyer Group. The three companies’ joint venture, the BNC joint intelligence project, was first developed by Royden Group, but Eyer Group jumped the gun and revealed the core data first, so Royden Group had to forfeit the ownership of the project.

Now that the project had come back, Edgar still appeared unperturbed at the fact that it had gone to another company.

His favoritism towards Jean was beyond acceptable.

As the rumor went around, a lot of people were speculating that they might do the odd and re-marry each other.

Nathan had also overheard the rumor in the elevator. But now, judging by Edgar’s grim demeanor, Nathan knew it was impossible for the two to re-marry.

As a seasoned playboy, Nathan was quite certain that Jean had rejected Edgar.

Nathan pushed a folder to Edgar with a few breezy taps on the table.

“This is for you. Everything about Serena and her husband, Simon, is in here.” Nathan leaned on the sofa and asked indifferently, “You’re giving this project to Jean again. Aren’t you worried that she would fool you again?”

Jean had been waging war against Edgar ever since she was released from prison.

Royden Group’s stock performance had dipped tremendously while Edgar was made a regular subject for tidbits. Over the last month, Edgar appeared on five different magazine covers.

All because of Jean.

But Edgar had never really resented her. In fact, he was responsible for the depreciation of Royden Group’s stock performance. He was to be blamed for repeatedly showing mercy and leeway to Jean for her vengeance against him and his family.

This time, however, it was difficult for him to condone her.

“Let’s talk about it.”

Edgar snapped the folder closed.

His eyes were tense and cold, “I said I want to marry her again, but she said no.”

He explained the reason and culprit of his wrath succinctly.

Nathan’s eyes widened, “Did you just tell her that? In such a direct manner?”

“Yes.”
