Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361 Asking for Help

Jean had just walked into her house when she heard knocking. “Who is it?” She thought the woman standing at the door looked a little familiar, but she didn’t recognize her.

Leah didn’t mind. She smiled and said, “Ms. Eyer, I am Ben’s cousin-in-law. We’ve met at their house.” Once she said it, Jean recalled. “Is something wrong?” She thought that Ben was looking for her.

But if he was, he could have called her. “It’s like this. I have a really good proposal for a start-up that I’d like to work with you.” “I see…”

Before Jean could turn her down, Leah squeezed through the door while smiling. “I didn’t manage to talk to you much the last time in the house.” Jean could only close the door behind Leah.

“Our company doesn’t have investment services. You should approach someone else.” She wouldn’t hide or conceal the facts with pleasantries. There was no need to waste everyone’s time.

But it was as if Leah didn’t hear her. She chattered on, “Benny talks about you often. He’s very devoted to you. Not only did he give up racing for you, but he also started working at the company.”

“For me?”

What Leah said made Jean pause as she was about to send Ben a text message.

Leah had a surprised expression on her face.

“Didn’t you know about it? Benny agreed to manage the company for your sake so that he could work more with you professionally. I came to look for you this time because Benny hinted that I should.”

As Leah was speaking, she pushed forward the start-up proposal in her hands. “We had some pretty good business partners, but Benny kept telling me that you majored in design and would be interested in this. It took me a great deal to come here.”

She picked up her water and took a sip but thought of something else.

“Oh, that’s right. Don’t tell Benny that I told you this. He kept telling me that I must not tell you the truth. I only told you because I thought you seemed to have misunderstood his intentions.”

Jean’s brows furrowed as Leah was speaking.

The last time she went to Ludwig Residence, she had told Farra what she needed to say. As for Ben, she thought that it would be better with time.

After all, they were such old friends.

But Leah’s arrival subverted Jean’s thoughts.

“Ms. Eyer?” Leah called out to her while smiling. “Do you want to take a look at this proposal? I’ll leave if you’re not interested.”

As Jean was being questioned by Leah, her lips twitched. “Leave it behind. I’ll have a meeting at the company to discuss it.”

Leah’s eyes lit up, and her smile deepened. “That’s right. After all, this isn’t a small issue. Do what you have to. I’ll leave now.”

Jean sent her out, and they exchanged pleasantries before she left.

As soon as Leah left Eyer Residence, she immediately made a call to her husband, Colin.

“It’s done. Settle your affairs as soon as you can, then wait and see.”

“So soon?” Colin had a disbelieving look on his face. “Did she really agree to invest?”

In actuality, Colin had started a business for a few years and spent a significant amount of money, but it had never taken off or picked up. He didn’t have much hope for the project this time and only said that he was very confident in appeasing Leah.

They didn’t get any investment from the Ludwig family, but there was such an unexpected turn of events now!

Leah raised her hand to hail a cab and smiled lightly. “I have my ways. You have to do it well this time. Don’t let me down.”

“Don’t worry. As long as Jean’s money is in place, I will immediately set out.”

Leah turned to look at the Eyer family villa and mumbled in a low voice, “What a waste for one person to stay in such a big house.”

Jean finished reading the project proposal quickly. Although she didn’t know much about investment, she had a weird feeling about it. There was nothing special about it, and it wasn’t very relevant to her. It was only related to a design company in name.

She closed the folder. She didn’t know who she could ask.

There were only a few friends around her who knew about investing. The most knowledgeable one was that person.

But thinking about what had happened the last night, she quickly abandoned the thought.
