Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 552

Chapter 552

In the next few days, Edgar went to work as usual while Jean continued to idle the day away at home.

Both of them deliberately steered away from discussions related to both Royden Group and Eyer Group. They refused to let mundane and complicated topics ruin their mood.

But not until Miles showed up at their door.

“Mr. Royden, there is a problem with Oprah Group’s project. The third-party investors alleged their design drawings were products of plagiarism and decided to pursue them through a lawsuit with the international court. As a result, the project has been suspended until further notice.”

Miles was having cold sweats, “I’ve notified Mr. Gary and his department to standby in the office to mitigate the situation.”

This project wasn’t a priority if it was in the past.

But the trend had changed, considering Royden Group was presently in crisis.

This project was Edgar’s last hope in reviving Royden Group. He couldn’t let this project go down the drain.

Edgar said coldly, “Let’s go.”

As he retrieved his coat from the hanger, he said to

Jean, “I may not be able to come home these few days. You should go back to Eyer Residence for the time being.”

“Alright.”

Jean chided, “I’m not a child anymore. Don’t worry about me.”

She walked up to Edgar and tenderly straightened his tie, “I’ll wait for you at home.”

Two pairs of eyes glinting with the reflection of each other. No distance at all.

His face bent to meet hers as she looked up. He kissed her forehead.

At the door, Miles sheepishly darted his eyes away from their lovey-dovey.

After Edgar and Miles left, Jean immediately instructed the media company she had an affiliation with to look into Oprah Group. To her dismay, the response she received from the media company was the same as what Miles had told them.

Oprah Group and its future investment paths would be affected by this incident as well.

The business media from all over the world also jumped on the bandwagon, broadcasting the commercial lawsuit.

Jean browsed through the Internet and furrowed, “Something doesn’t quite add up here.”

She thought it was preposterous for anyone with common sense to challenge the prestigious and influential Oprah family. If this was an unfounded violation, an unvarnished explanation from Oprah Group would suffice to shut down the rumors and dissolve the lawsuit.

The same thing had happened to Pinnacle Group before.

Jean combed through the website, “Could it be…”

Immediately, she tried to dial Edgar, but the line was occupied. She couldn’t wait any longer, so she hailed a taxi to Royden Group.

Meanwhile, Edgar was in the top floor conference room of Royden Group.

“Mr. Royden, our company funds are running dry. I’m afraid we won’t be able to pay employees if funding isn’t secured by next month.” The finance manager exhorted.

Royden Group had never encountered a financial crisis before. The work in the finance department had always been the most undemanding in the entire company. It was unbeknownst that Royden Group would come to be in debt.

There were rumors among the employees.

Some of them said Royden Group was doomed to go bankrupt. As a result, a vast number of employees were dispirited by the misleading information.

“Mr. Royden, all the projects have been put on hold. There’s barely anything to do for the employees.

They just sit at their desks or sort out outdated documents.”

“Last year this time, the office was always empty as everyone was busy meeting clients and closing sales.”

The stark contrast had evinced the woebegone condition of Royden Group from its peak and glorious days.

Edgar narrowed his eyes and stared at them with a frigid stare.
