Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362 Forging a Path

Once Hugo shut the door, he immediately let her go. “I’m sorry, I…”

He fixed his eyes on Jean’s face before turning to the bookshelf and taking out a photo album to show her.

“Ellie’s mom left when Ellie was very young, so she doesn’t smile much, and she hardly plays so happily with anyone other than me. Thank you so much for today.”

Hearing what he said, it was as though Jean could understand why the house was decorated like a dream and looked so much like a castle in a fairytale.

She flipped through the photo album. It was filled with photographs of Hugo and his daughter. Every photograph showed how happy they were.

As she looked at the photos, Hugo looked at her.

Time passed quietly.

Jean closed the photo album and said sorrowfully, “My dad used to be busy with his work last time. Unlike you, he didn’t set aside much time to spend with his family. You’re a really good father, Mr. Hugo.”

When she raised her eyes to look at him, Hugo immediately picked up his coffee to hide his gaze.

But he forgot that it was cold coffee from the night before.

The coldness stimulated his tastebuds, but what Jean said was like a warm ray of sunlight. It warmed his heart.

Jean put the photo album to one side. After hesitating for a moment, she said, “Actually, I wanted to ask you for help today.”

Hugo resumed his usual calm and collected manner. “Go on.”

Two hours later, Jean left Mason Residence. She didn’t call Ben immediately but went back to the office instead. She looked for a few employees to further understand the current market situation and the company’s financial position.

Seeing her serious manner, Rachel asked her softly, “Ms. Eyer, are we going to work with Royden Group?”

There were expectant gazes from other employees.

Jean shook her head. “No.”

She found some investment information and printed it out at once. “I’ve turned down the collaborative project with Royden Group.”

“You turned it down?” Rachel almost thought that something was wrong with her ears.

There wouldn’t be anyone in the world who would turn down a partnership with Royden Group, would there?

“Gather everyone for a meeting.”

When Jean showed Hugo the investment proposal for the design company, Hugo only said, “You’d be better off donating to a charity than investing in a project like this.”

Jean didn’t say anything, and he didn’t ask anymore.

He gave Jean a masterclass instead.

The light dawned on Jean once he was done.

In the past, she was so focused on getting her revenge on Edgar that she had spent all her time and effort trying to make Royden Group fall to its knees. She forgot to attack Royden Group from the front instead.

So she had to change her target. Although Leah only looked for Jean to invest after being advised by Ben, it also meant that in their eyes, Eyer Group had the potential to be an investment company.

Jean immediately set out to make preparations in that aspect and adjust the future direction of the company’s development.

She wanted to prove to everyone that Eyer Group could forge a path for themselves.

“Ms. Eyer, can we do what you’re talking about?” The employees were very enthusiastic, but it seemed like the market area was already saturated.

It was a little hard with Eyer Group’s strength.

“Let’s try it out. To be honest, I don’t know if we will succeed, but we need to have a goal at the very least, am I right?” She smiled as she encouraged everyone.
