Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411 A Troubling Future

After the blind date, Pinnacle Group’s intention gradually came to light Pinnacle Group had long desired to return to the domestic market but never found a good chance due to market oversaturation. Thus, they were unable to carry out their plan.

However, Royden Group recently underwent problems, leading to various public speculations. This prompted Pinnacle Group to finally set out their devious plan.

The meeting had just ended when Nathan rushed to Royden Group.

It was past midnight. Nathan saw Edgar’s grim expression and advised, “Perhaps your uncle knows nothing. He’s advanced in years, so he may have been tricked. Maybe he hopes for you to have a new start.”

Since things had come to this, Nathan could only say this to comfort Edgar.

Not many could withstand the pain of being betrayed by one’s only relative.

Edgar gave a sarcastic smile. “I have experienced true human nature all these years. I wouldn’t believe such words even if you told me ten years ago.”

Nathan heard a hint of sadness in his tone and could not help but sigh.

“Then… Will you be able to be as heartless as him?”

Will he disregard blood ties and get rid of him?

Furthermore, Edbert is much older than Edgar. It will be more challenging than getting rid of Andy. Although Edbert neither made contributions nor committed any wrongs, he is considered a respected elder of the Royden family. Since Royden Group reemerged after its downfall, Edbert’s shares have increased significantly.

If Edgar removes him without proof, it will anger the senior directors of Royden Group.

That will lead to various problems detrimental to Royden Group.

“If Edbert leaves the company and takes a group of people with him, Royden Group will lose its leading position in the industry.” Nathan considered far ahead. It might not be evident in the next one to two years, but Royden Group would show a considerable decline in three to five years.

It was commonly known that the business world would ostracize someone they deemed proud and arrogant.

Edgar also knew this. “Royden Group cannot withstand any turmoil. Edbert knew this and grabbed the chance to collude with the Summer family.”

Nathan looked at Edgar’s expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking.

“All right. If you need my help with anything, I’m…”

Edgar shook his head.

Nathan understood the matter was Royden Group’s internal problem and that it was inappropriate for him to get involved.

But before he could say anything, Edgar suddenly asked, “Have you heard of Kalel Cordova?”

…

Two days later, Kalel’s studio announced the participant requirements and rules of the design competition.

There were few requirements. Anyone interested in designing could participate. The competition would proceed for a week. It would be a large-scale reality show competition.

That meant the contestants’ daily lives would be broadcasted all over the world.

It was also a competition for amateurs, who would be assessed for their skills and abilities. To keep up with the recent trends, the competition also invited a few mentors from the design field.

Jean registered for the competition at the first opportunity. The registration went well, and she soon received a notification to join the competition next week.

She breathed a sigh of relief and began to pack her bags.

At the same time, she received a message from Ben, saying that he would return to the country in the evening and asked to meet. Jean confirmed the time with him and went to the airport to pick him up.

“Jean!”

Jean looked at the entrance for a while but could not find Ben.

Suddenly, she heard someone call her name and glanced in that direction. She nearly jumped from shock. Is that really Ben?

He was not dressed in a suit but in a set of sportswear.
