Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 Nice to Meet You, Mr. Royden

Edgar’s face was cold. Behind him, Miles was nervous but didn’t dare to go forward.

He understood his boss’ temper well. It was going to be hard to walk away from this.

“It seems like Mr. Royden has something to do. Let’s go somewhere else,” Hugo said gently. There was still a polite smile on his face, but his eyes revealed his displeasure.

Jean treated Edgar like air and immediately agreed. “Alright. The things here aren’t extensive anyway. I don’t like anything so far.”

The two of them walked past Edgar and into the elevator.

As the doors closed, Edgar looked away. He wasn’t in the mood at all.

After a long time, he moved away. “Miles, to the office.”

“What about your meeting with Mr. Edbert…” Miles reminded him in a low voice. They had agreed to meet at a restaurant on the first floor of the building.

The emotion in Edgar’s eyes was hard to discern. From where he was standing, he could see Jean and Hugo walking out from the hall on the first floor.

She was in off-white sportswear, and it suited her demeanor. It was simple and natural.

He didn’t know if he had bad eyesight, but he felt that when she turned sideways to look at Hugo, the corners of her mouth were curved.

“To the first floor.”

Edgar said in the end as he moved his feet.

In that one week, there had been great commotion internally in Royden Group. He had readjusted the three big departments of the company and fired a few discontented high-level managers.

Some of them were Edbert’s confidants from overseas branches.

It was Edgar’s way of officially declaring war on him and also a reminder.

After all, they were related. If Edbert repented sincerely, he wouldn’t go overboard. No matter how viciously he treated others, he was still sensitive to the Royden family.

And Edbert had taken advantage of this.

Edgar walked into the restaurant, and the server led him to a seat by the window. A beautiful woman was sitting there.

She wore an exquisite dress that revealed her shoulders. Her long hair was tied behind her head, and she seemed very gentle and elegant.

Edgar’s gaze didn’t stop on her. He looked at the server next to him instead. “That’s not the right seat.”

As soon as he said it, the woman smiled and stood up. “It is, Mr. Royden. Please have a seat.”

She instructed the server after that, “Serve the food.”

Edgar’s searching gaze fell on her.

She wasn’t hasty. She was polite as she said, “I was feeling a little hungry just now, and I don’t know what you like but I ordered food. I’m sorry about that.”

“It’s alright.”

Edgar’s tone was indifferent. “Where is Uncle Edbert?”

He knew that Edbert had agreed to meet him here, but he couldn’t recognize the person before him.

“Uncle Edbert isn’t feeling too good, so he left and asked me to stay to meet with you.” She seemed to come to a realization. She took out a name card from her leather clutch and handed it to him. It was pure white and had a simple design. Her name was on it, Sherry Summer.

As part of social etiquette, Edgar received it, but the company name behind it made him do a double take.

“Pinnacle Group?”

Sherry smiled gently. “Yes. I’ve been working there for five years, and I just returned to the country.”

Pinnacle Group was an overseas investment company that was run by a powerful family. They had just appointed a female president lately. It was very likely that she would be the future successor of Pinnacle Group.

Edgar put the name card down, and his gaze on the woman before his eyes deepened. He wasn’t curious about her. There was a sense of warning instead.
