Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373 Not Willing to Compromise

Edgar’s brows wrinkled. He knew that Jean had always wanted to make up for the regret of not studying abroad back then. She had been planning it some time ago as well.

But now, everything in Eyer Group was on the right track. The company needed someone to oversee everything. She couldn’t leave. “This time is different. The school sent Ms. Eyer an invitation this time.”

When Miles said that, Edgar’s expression darkened in an instant. This wasn’t good.

When Jean wanted to study abroad back then, she had given it up to marry him and be a full-time housewife. But now, her dream school offered an olive branch. Perhaps she would be moved by it. After all, Eyer Group was in fragments now, if…

A bold thought appeared in his mind. “Miles, find a way to inquire discreetly about what’s happening. Tell me at once if there are any changes.”

Miles nodded and shut the door. He stood at the door and sighed in silence. Was it okay for his boss to lock himself up in the room?

The next morning, everyone gathered in the hotel lobby. A manager from BK Group was taking them to visit a sea of flowers, which was the latest tourism project that their company had invested in.

“It’s around an hour’s drive, and the roads are hilly. Four to a car, everyone needs to get in a car…”

After the car keys were distributed, Jean waited outside, but she never thought that she would be in the same car as Edgar and Hugo.

Everyone’s gaze was focused on the three of them.

Jean looked at the two aloof men in front of her and immediately asked, “Can I switch to a different car?”

Everyone looked away from them. Who had the nerve to switch with her?

The two of them were clearly interested in Jean. If anyone agreed to switch with Jean, they would be offending two big shots on the spot.

“You drive.”

“You drive.”

The two of them spoke at almost the same time.

The car keys were in Edgar’s hands.

Hugo immediately walked to the passenger’s side and got into the car.

Miles stood not far away from the entrance, and he couldn’t help but walk over. “Do you want me to drive, Mr. Royden?”

“Stay back. There are important things for you to do.”

Miles immediately understood Edgar’s expression. “Don’t worry, Mr. Royden. I will get to the bottom of it.”

Seeing the cars leave, Miles walked slowly and silently to Rachel’s side. “What plans do you have, Ms. Sander?”

“Me? I’m going back to the room to rest,” Rachel said as she turned and walked into the elevator.

“Ah, with such a good break, why don’t we walk around?” Miles ran and caught up with her at once.

At that moment, in the car, Edgar was driving while Hugo and Jean were talking about their partnership in the backseat.

“That highly-rated project is pretty good, also…”

“Pretty good?” Edgar smiled lightly. “Your worldview is too narrow, Mr. Mason. Projects of that level shouldn’t even be mentioned.”

Hugo’s eyes swayed a little. He nodded and said, “That makes sense, Mr. Royden.”

No matter how Edgar retorted, Hugo always seemed very calm and steady.

After a few rounds, Edgar ‘lost’ for the first time.

When the car arrived at the destination, his expression was unbelievably dark. He didn’t want to stay for a moment longer. He pushed the car door open and got out.

The moment the car door was shut, Jean sighed a little.

Hugo, who was looking at her, happened to witness it. The man said gently, “Ms. Eyer, there’s something that I’ve hesitated to say for a long time.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Mason, but I think nothing you say can solve my problems.”

Hugo looked at her and his thin lips finally closed. “Sometimes, regret hurts the most.”

Jean understood it fully well.
