Chapter 531
Edgar sat on his chair and instructed Miles, "I need you to develop this one and hang the photo on the opposite wall.I wish to see it every day."
"Yes, Mr.Royden.I'll get it done."
Miles noticed Edgar did not stop smiling after the interview ended.It seemed he was satisfied with his heroic act just now.
Five minutes later, the TV showed today's interview.
Every scene that contained Xena and her voice had been removed.
Even the question the reporter had posed to Jean was nowhere to be found.
Instead, most of the clip was the later part of the interview with Edgar.
Furthermore, the reporters understood Miles’ hint and deleted Edgar's love confession.
Jean frowned as she watched the interview play on TV.
"Why are the reporters being such busybodies?"
Rachel watched the interview from the side and found it meaningful.
Thus, she could not resist saying, "Ms.Eyer, I believe this hyping method is commonly used in the business world to confuse rivals.I heard fierce competition exists over a few of Royden Group's projects.Perhaps Mr.Royden uses this to improve Royden Group's image."
After all, who would reject such a handsome, wealthy, and loving man? Jean did not respond.
Previously, Oprah Group decided to collaborate with Edgar due to his character.
Jean pressed her brow and was about to leave when someone knocked on the door.
"Ms.Eyer, one of your business partners sent some snacks as gifts"
The staff put down the snacks and left right away.
The snacks were placed in an exquisite gift box and smelled delectable.
However, Rachel stopped Jean before she could taste them.
"Ms.Eyer, let me try them first."
Rachel closed the door and whispered, "In case someone tampered with them."
Xena was jealous of Jean and would do anything to harm her.
Thus, Rachel was worried that Xena had tempered with the snacks and felt they should be cautious.
Rachel took a small bite of each snack.She began to suffer from diarrhea less than five minutes later.
In the end, her face turned pale, and she had to be sent to the hospital.
Miles immediately blocked all the exits in the building and questioned every staff who had handled the snacks.
However, he could not find anything notable.
No one knew where the snacks came from.
Miles did not dare to think what would have happened if Rachel did not taste the snacks for Jean.
"Mr.Royden, the hospital informed us that Rachel has food poisoning, but we still need to wait for the food testing result to know the specific cause."
Miles even obtained surveillance records of every floor.
However, there were too many people in the Royden Group.
Thus, it was challenging to find the culprit.
As they were still investigating, Xena was also hospitalized due to food poisoning.
Moreover, her condition was even more severe than Rachel's.
She had to undergo gastric lavage before being admitted to ICU.
The incident sent fear throughout the company.
Eventually, someone found boxes of snacks near the backdoor of the warehouse.
"This area happened to be the camera's blind spot.It seems the culprit knew Royden Group's layout well"
Miles furrowed his brow.
Edgar's expression darkened further upon hearing him.
"Miles, call the police."
Edgar would not show mercy to enemies who started the trouble.
After checking the site, Edgar called Joseph and talked to him for half an hour.
