Chapter 426
"I heard that a lot of things have happened in your company recently.If you need help, you can ask any time."
Bernard Summer threw out the bait directly.
This was the assurance of Pinnacle Group.
Only pure capital has the guts to offer such a bold statement.
Anyone would have lapped up the offer happily.
However, this was Edgar they were talking about.
He smiled, "Thank you, Mr.Summer, for your concern, but we haven't reached that point yet."
He played it lightly and blocked the Summer family's overtures.
Bernard Summer couldn't figure out what he meant.
Mrs.Summer interrupted them at the right time, "We haven't returned to New York for a long time, and the changes have been really great recently.
If you have time in a few days, can you accompany us around? Everyone can benefit from it.
Bernard Summer snorted softly, holding his teacup in silence.
Sherry's heart began to race.She glanced anxiously at the man sitting next to her.
A fruit platter was brought over by the waiter at this time; however, it was entirely composed of mangoes and had no other fruits.
"Is this what you ordered?"
Mrs.Summer felt that it was rude for such a high-end restaurant to have such a dish.
Sherry Summer immediately said, "It must be a mistake, I'll deal with it.
But before she got up, the waiter smiled and said, "This was given to Mr.Royden by other customers.She said she hoped that Mr.Edgar's demands are incited"
Is this from Edgar's friend? The Summer pair was forced to give up when they exchanged glances.
However, Sherry scowled and became silent.
"Sherry, accompany me to the bathroom."
Mrs.Summer couldn't sit still; she stood up and left.
Sherry nodded obediently, and the two walked away.
When Jean spotted the chance, she got to her feet and went for them.
Mr.Mason stopped her, "What are you doing?"
"Payback."
After saying these words, Jean turned away from him and went after him.
Mr.Mason, who was about to scowl, stopped in his tracks and turned to face Edgar from where he was sitting.He knows? It was still up to Jean.
She was experiencing a feeling of powerlessness because of the arrangement.
Mrs.Summer glanced inside the restroom, and Sherry Summer confirmed right away that nobody was present.
"Mom, that..."
‘Smack’ A crisp slap was thrown on her face.
"You've been back for more than a week now, yet you still haven't claimed this man as your own.How far along are you guys? Are you even a couple?"
Sherry blushed, "Mom, we don't..."
"Do you not understand what I mean? I have already told you very clearly on the phone that Edgar is your best bet.If you can't handle it yourself, you can marry someone abroad"
Sherry's heart pumped faster.She was all too aware of what that implied.
"Don't worry, Mom.He has been divorced for some time, but he hasn't moved on from his previous union.Already, I'm forming a bond with him.I'm certain I can find a chance"
"Chance? What kind of feelings does a person like him hold? Isn't it enough for the Summer family to be your trump card?"
Mrs.Summer stared at her in disgust, "If it weren't for your pretty looks, I wouldn't have recognized you at all.All these years, the money the Summer family has thrown at you is enough to start ten establishments."
Sherry was quickly reprimanded, leaving her with little alternative.She had to accept beratement.
"Forget it.Talking to a person that can't fend for themselves is useless."
