Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352 Turning Down the Partnership

Andy had noticed Edgar, who was standing on the second floor, as soon as he walked in. When Gigi was speaking to him, he deliberately leaned closer so that others would think that they had an immensely affectionate relationship.

“I’ll do it. Don’t worry.” The sultry air wafted into Gigi’s ears. She smiled bashfully and walked into the main hall of the banquet.

The corners of Andy’s lips curved in a pleased manner. He glanced at the second floor in a provoking manner, but Edgar and Nathan had already left. Andy jeered silently.

“Wait and see. All your women will fall into my hands.” He walked around the main hall of the banquet and happened to see Jean head to the washroom at the back. He put down his champagne flute and caught up with her.

Jean had given out six name cards in half an hour. It was more than she had expected. She planned to eat a little before leaving so as not to meet Edgar again.

“You look so pleased with your success recently, Ms. Eyer.” Andy was waiting outside the washroom. There was a trace of an unruly and unrestrained smile on his face.

When Jean heard his voice, she had her guard up. She turned to leave.

“But there’s no use of you doing as such. With Edgar around, Eyer Group will never make it. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how Royden Group beat Eyer Group down in the past. Even if you hand out tens and thousands of your name cards, you won’t be able to get a single project without Royden Group’s permission.”

Andy walked up to her. There was a malicious and devious tone in his voice.

“Work with me. I can help you bring down Edgar.”

“Who said that I want to bring down Edgar?”

Jean glanced at him coldly. “I’m warning you. I’m going to get a lawyer and sue you if you slander me again.”

Andy had been on the receiving end of Jean’s sharp tongue before.

At that moment, he wasn’t surprised. In fact, he doubled down on pestering her.

The corridor was a little narrow. He took a few steps forward, and Jean had nowhere to turn.

“Step aside.”

“In such a situation, I don’t have to listen to your instructions.” Andy suddenly went close to her, and his voice was deep. “Edgar can’t let go of you. Have you ever thought about how the best revenge isn’t for you to work hard, but rather… look for someone he hates the most and approach them instead?”

“Despicable!”

Jean raised her hand and was going to slap Andy.

But the man had expected it. He turned his head and avoided it.

His smile deepened. “Think about it, Jean. Otherwise, we can give it a go.”

He had a repulsive tone.

Jean gritted her teeth and glared at him. “If you come any closer, I will shout for everyone to come here.”

The world was only in such chaos because of scum like this.

“Do it.” Andy didn’t care at all.

But before he could lay a finger on Jean, he was dragged away to a door at the side by two bodyguards in shades.

There was a slightly unfamiliar figure on the other end of the corridor.

“Are you alright?” Hugo wrinkled his brows and looked at her. His eyes were deep.

“Thank you for your help, Mr. Mason.” Jean quickly resumed her cool manner.

Hugo looked at her for a while and wanted to ask her something. He was just about to speak when he swallowed his words.

“I think the food in front looks pretty good. Do you want to try it, Mr. Mason?”

She had thrown the unhappy matter to the back of her mind in an instant. Was she heartless, or was she magnanimous?

It was evident that she wasn’t either.

Because he watched as she locked the door at the side and told the security at the front that she had lost her bracelet. She also told them to look out for any strange person who was trying to blend in.

“Was that the vice president of Royden Group?” Hugo asked in the end.

He rarely concerned himself with other people’s private affairs of his own accord, what more a person he had just gotten to know.

Jean came to her senses. Hugo had just returned to the domestic market not too long ago. He didn’t quite understand certain things in the business circle.

And from the looks of it, he didn’t seem like the type of person to listen to gossip.

Jean ate while she said, “Perhaps he is. I haven’t been paying too much attention to news about Royden Group.”
