Chapter 491
Edgar's hands froze as he was chopping vegetables in the kitchen.
Jean opened her mouth at this point as if she wanted him to know.
Edgar became even more disinterested due to her candor.
"This Uncle Eyer's life work, Jean.It cost you a lot to.."
Reclaim it from Edgar's grasp.
Ben mumbled a few words and slumped miserably, "Jean, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me.I will help you solve it"
Jean lowered her eyes and shook her head, "No need, you have helped me enough.I can't always trouble you"
Friends are friends.
Business is business.
"If anyone wants to buy the Eyer Group, you can introduce them to me."
Jean opened the dessert box and took a sip.
The moment the sweet flavor dissolved in her mouth, her demeanor seemed to improve noticeably.
Ben kept staring at her without blinking.He was repressing all the justifications that would escape his lips as the emotions in his eyes became increasingly evident.
Even if someone had to reason with her, it shouldn't be him.
Ben was sent out by Jean, who then left Edgar to work in the kitchen and didn't come back.
They seemed to be in two distinct worlds even though they were alone in the same house.
The man took off his apron, turned, and walked out of the kitchen.
"Sell it to me"
He stepped forward a few steps, the light in his eyes was deep and cold, but with an undeniable undeterrent force.
"I'm not joking, if you really made up your mind to sell the company, you can sell it to me."
Jean frowned, "Do you even have the money to buy it?"
She continued drinking her dessert, "Besides, I want cash."
Edgar's face tensed up.
He smiled, "Even if I no longer serve as Royden's president, I still have this little money."
The stern expression on his face still rendered Jean hostage in her attempts to avert her gaze.
"All right, I'll have Rachel estimate the cost with a member of the accounting team before I speak with you."
Jean got to her feet and turned to face the kitchen.
"Susan has also been informed that I am independent of anyone's care.Don't come here again in the future, either."
Future? Edgar pulled his fingers back into his palm.
Just as Jean was about to assume that he would be so furious that he would walk away, the man abruptly stepped closer and grasped her waist.
Pressing down on Jean's body, and the two bodies were quite close together.He inched closer to her.
It made Jean's heart beat faster.
He had to support her shoulder with the palm of his hand, preventing closure, "Dont...
Edgar paused, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated.
It was replaced with gentle concern, "I won't make you feel uncomfortable.I'm just afraid that you won't be able to figure it out for a while and make a decision that shouldn't be made."
Jean gritted his teeth, "I know exactly what I'm doing."
The only thing she could do for this child was to cut off all ties with this place, go to a place where no one knew them, and start over.
Even if they used this money to buy a small house in the country, it was enough for them to live a stable life.
And she almost gave up until she noticed the man in front of her.
After taking in her response with his half-closed eyes, Edgar replied in a low voice, "No, you don't know anything at all, and you constantly do as you like, just to regret it afterward."
His voice grew softer as he continued to speak.
