Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551

“What will he gain to make war with Edbert? He knows it well, but the damage is beyond remedy now. There’s nothing he could do.”

Someone sneered, “Gotta go. I have an appointment with Mr. Lanier.”

In their opinion, Royden Group had come to its end of glory.

It was impossible for Edgar to restore Royden Group at this juncture. They reckoned it was best to sever ties with Royden Group to mitigate their losses.

Only idiots would stay.

Meanwhile, Edbert and John met up over afternoon tea.

“I wonder how it’s going there. A sizeable fund was pulled out suddenly. I bet Mr. Royden is feeling the heat, desperately trying to raise funds and regroup the team.”

“Royden Group is in peril now.”

Edbert picked up the teacup with a smile on his face.

“You’ve been helpful to me, Mr. Blanc. I’ll remember your contribution.”

John tittered awkwardly.

“It had to be done. It was for the greater good. After all, Vice President… Ah, I mean, President Edbert is wise and capable. We have faith in you. But do we really have to invest in Andy Shaw’s company with the funds that have just been pulled out from Royden Group?”

John looked at Edbert abjectly. He seemed reluctant.

“I think you knew that before this, Andy had poached lots of our employees and caused us a lot of losses and inconvenience.” John leaned back on the sofa and said earnestly, “These old friends of mine really doubted his ability.”

John and the cronies only cared about their own interest and benefit.

Edbert knew John would say that.

He took out a project proposal and handed it to John, “Take a look at this first, then you decide. I’m only the liaison. At the end of the day, it’s your call to make.”

Edbert ceased talking and gave John some time to browse through the proposal.

John seemed psyched as he perused the proposal. Shortly, he sprung up and blurted, “There’s something I need to do. Excuse me!”

John dashed off while Edbert darted a meaningful glance at his receding figure.

George’s voice sounded from behind Edbert, “Are you sure Andy has what it takes to replace Edgar?”

After all, Edgar had proved himself pre-eminent with unbeatable records in the entire Yorktown. Nobody could match or trump his excellence and records to date.

Back then, the people in the industry only respected Andy because he was the vice president of Royden Group. But now, nobody really cared about his puny start-up.

Although hooking up with Sherry, to a certain degree, had helped his business.

But Andy was nowhere adroit and remarkable compared to what Edgar had achieved.

Edbert sneered, “How do we know if we don’t try?”

There was no turning back for him at this point in time.

He must stay on the course and finish what he started no matter what.

Not that the outcome would affect him anyway. If the plan came to naught, Andy would be the scapegoat.

“Keep tabs on them, George.”

“Yes.”

That night, the media and peers in the field concomitantly received news that there was a dispute of power within Royden Group. The board of directors was unhappy with how Edgar managed the company.

One after another, they appealed to withdraw their capital and shares from the company.

Due to precipitous funding withdrawal, Royden Group had rammed into an unprecedented crisis.

There were rumors that most of the funds flowing out of Royden Group were transferred to Andy’s company.

Some of them believed that Andy was the upcoming hotshot in the industry.

Life was full of uncertainty. Living in an era of great advancements, you must take advantage of any possibility. If you snooze, you lose.

As the news spread, there was an influx of investors vying to invest in Andy’s company. In less than a day, his company had doubled in capital and funds.
