Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367 No Way Around It Even if You’re Reluctant

Jean was reluctant when she heard it. But if she left now, she thought of visiting Mr. Rocher’s company and learning from him the next day. If she rushed over tomorrow, she was afraid that she would be too late and would miss a good opportunity.

She looked like she had a lot on her mind. Edgar couldn’t help but take another look at her. “Stop looking.” Nathan nudged Edgar with his elbow. He said softly, “I’ll help to cover you. Have some restraint.” Edgar restrained his expression a little.

Zenith could also sense that Jean wasn’t feeling quite right, so he slowed his footsteps down. “Jeannie, you should know full well how important Royden Group’s position is in this industry. And he made it happen all on his own.”

“…Yes, I understand.” She had researched Royden Group much earlier to get her revenge.

Before Edgar established Royden Group, the company was mud, but he transformed it into an unrivaled, top-rate company in just a few short years.

It was undeniable that he was an expert in this field.

This was also the reason that what Edgar said held so much weight and could make half of Yorktown go into a frenzy.

“Then why did you seek far and neglect what lay close at hand? Why did you come and look for an old geezer like me?” Zenith narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “Those who want to achieve big things can’t be bothered about trivial matters. Good businesspeople won’t be entangled in personal grudges. You can achieve great things if you are determined.”

Achieve great things with determination?

This kept swirling around in Jean’s mind.

Yes. Edgar was determined. He was so determined that he could marry me under pretenses, then infiltrate Eyer Group with his power. That was also how he could make Ranford International leave the industry overnight.

Jean clenched her fist tightly. Everything that she resisted was feelings that Edgar had abandoned to win.

She wasn’t as determined as he was in that regard.

Jean pursed the corner of her lips and caught up.

In the tearoom, Zenith intentionally or unintentionally asked about Royden Group’s plans for investment at the beginning of the next year. In reality, he did it so that Jean could learn more.

Edgar had his guard up in the beginning.

But seeing Jean waiting earnestly, his heart suddenly softened, and he offered up two projects that he had his eye on.

Nathan, who was listening at the side, was baffled.

He laughed dryly as he poured tea for Edgar, hinting at him to stop.

This is classified industry information!

But he’s talking about it so casually?

“You’re amazing indeed, Mr. Royden. It seems like we should retire.” Zenith lifted his teacup and shook his head sorrowfully. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something. “I have to make a call, so I’ll be going back to my room now. Please go ahead.”

He could only help Jean out so much.

At that moment, Jean was still digesting what Edgar had said. She looked down and fiddled with her cell phone. There were certain parts that she couldn’t remember, so she typed them in her notes.

She only knew that Mr. Rocher was leaving. She wasn’t sure when Nathan had left.

A voice rang from beside her. “You have to consider the investment methods of rival companies. For example, here…”

He reached his hand out and took Jean’s cell phone from her, editing the inaccurate information.

“No, I…” Jean wanted to stop him, but the serious side profile of the man came into view.

In an instant, it was as though her heart fluttered a little.

She only came to her senses after quite some time.

Edgar returned her cell phone to her. There was a cold expression deep in his eyes. “Is there anything else you don’t understand?”

Jean coughed awkwardly. She took a sip of tea at once to hide her discomfort and her guilty conscience. She was eavesdropping openly. If she were exposed, she would feel embarrassed no matter how shameless she was.

She kept saying that she wanted to overtake Royden Group and become their rival, but here she was, stealthily learning investment techniques from him.

Seeing her sneaky ways, the man in front of her suddenly smiled. His smile deepened.

“I think.”
