Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Reject Coalition

Jean had to only stay put for a few minutes before a loud voice boomed from the room, “Scram.” Brittany was weeping as she fled. Jean was impatient as she knocked on the door and waited for a few seconds before stepping in.

The office was simple and monochromatic; Xander was seated on his leather reclining seat. As he took off his glasses, his expression was seemingly gloomy, and one could feel the frigid atmosphere in the room.

Jean calmly marched to him and waited for her fate. She kept her silence as Xander attempted to readjust his emotions and put on a bright smile, “You have not changed at all, nothing is too much for you.”

The difference between Jean now and Jean of the past was that she was the daughter of a well-off family. Now, her only identity was the ex-wife of Edgar Royden and who had nothing left.Xander’s point was like a cotton with a blade hidden within; it sounded innocent but could had deeper meanings to it

Jean got straight to the point, “Mr. Xander, how are you going to punish me?”

“Punish?” Xander shook his head with a helpless expression, “You are Ms. Weller’s intern and have special relationships with the special judges, if I were to punish you I might as well as tender my resignation tomorrow.”

Jean did not change her emotionless expression.

As though Xander could read her thoughts, he continued, “Well I wanted to get back to you, what do you think about us cooperating?”

“No.” Jean was quick to reject, “Why should I trust you just based on your statement that you wanted revenge against Edgar? What if you’re a spy from him?”

After Xander had finished his doctorate, he started handling his family business.

Jean had heard this piece of information from her father.

However, after Xander started handling his family business, it did not seem to develop well and in fact stumbled upon some problems.

Would Edgar happen to be the source of those problems?Jean kept silent as her mind raced through several scenarios, however she ended up with the same conclusion.

“I guess you must have applied to be a trainer after knowing that I am currently an intern at MON & Co. I definitely can’t accept attention from Mr. Quade.”

Jean continued calmly and yet bluntly, “Most importantly, I do not trust you.”

“Hmm…”

Xander’s facial expression turned frosty.

He responded with a sharp gaze, “Do you think you can afford to negotiate with me?”

“Don’t you feel that Edgar must be plotting something when he sent you into MON & Co.? He was going to play with your dreams and your life, then …”

“Yeah.”

Jean chuckled as her expression softened.

Yet, there was an indescribable, seemingly detached frost within her eyes that betrayed her emotions.

“I know that he wanted to toy and destroy my life, to demonstrate that his words can determine my life.” Jean clearly enunciated every word. “So what? I needed this chance to survive.”Xander was stumped.

Gone was the spoilt and gentle lady from a well-off family. Instead, what was here was a rose that had struggled in a desert – it may have not blossomed, but it was already full of thorns.

“For someone born with a silver spoon, I advise you not to get involved in this situation. At the end of the day, I will destroy Edgar myself, you better not get in my way.”
