Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94 Give Tit for Tat

Edgar intended to seize this opportunity to have a chat with the directors of some of the reputable companies, but the people were more intrigued in learning his private life and that made serious business talk difficult to happen.

He stared at Jean thinking about a way to break the ice. Suddenly, she glared at him with resentful eyes. The man narrowed his brows and a trace of sadness cropped up in his eyes.

“What are you looking at, Edgar?” Gigi noticed his constant space-out state of mind. She picked up the trail of his sight, and saw Jean was standing in the way. The outcome upset her. Edgar said softly, “Nothing.”

“I want to have something to eat. Let’s go to that side.” Gigi deliberately pointed to the dining table on the opposite side. Edgar nodded. Just when they were about to head to the buffet area, Mr. Edwards, one of Edgar’s business partners came forward and said, “Hi, Mr. Royden. We briefly talked about a project at the last summit. Are you free to discuss it in detail?”

Mr. Edwards invited Edgar in all sincerity.

Edgar was also interested in bringing up the project again, he let go of Gigi’s hand, “I’ll be back in a moment.”

He strutted away as he said so.

Coincidentally, the direction they were heading to was toward Jean’s side. Gigi panicked and wrapped her arms around him, “Edgar, can I be with you?”

Although they were close with each other, the business talk involved commercial secrets.

More importantly, Gigi knew nothing about business marketing.

Edgar’s eyes turned cold, but because of the setting, he leaned over and declined discreetly, “Better not. I’ll find you shortly.”

Gigi was disgruntled. She couldn’t do anything but let go with a smile.

Mr. Edwards also laughed and joked, “The two of you are such a loving couple.”

Edgar didn’t say a word. He then led Mr. Edwards away.

Gigi was left alone standing there and biting her lips pitifully. In this party, she was just Edgar’s companion, and nobody called her Mrs. Royden! This feeling of abandonment sucked.

Her phone in the handbag vibrated. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Andy.

She burrowed her brows and walked into the bathroom at the back.

Gigi talked about how it was impossible for her to fit into Edgar’s circle. Andy taught her a way that could further divide Jean and Edgar from one another.

Ten minutes later.

Ben was away. Jean was having a good time eating alone and unwittingly heard a pleasant business conversation happening not far away from where she was.

It wasn’t surprising for business talks and deals to happen in a party.

But the person’s tone was particularly harsh, as if it was deliberately directed at her. The conversation was jarring and crude and her mood for the occasion was ruined.

“I know about this product, Edgar. The Eyer Group had done a patent case before, but their company’s technology was pathetic. In less than a month, they were sued by the partner. They probably lost several million dollars in the lawsuit.”

Jean’s heart sank. Her muscles tensed.

That was not the case at all!

It was the partner’s fault. Not only did he cheat her father, he also squandered the funds. Later, the court had reopened the case and returned the balance of the funds to Eyer Group.

There weren’t many people that knew about it at that time.

Edgar was one of them who knew about the truth.

Did he tell Gigi?

Jean’s eyes turned gloomy. Edgar ruined her family. Did he also take her family’s misfortune as a joke and tell it to Gigi?

Jean was on the brink of losing her cool. She tried to suppress the emotion but it was in vain. She turned around and walked over.

Gigi was still flaunting her shrewdness and eloquence, “I think a company with the scale of Eyer Group should have been shut down long ago. Won’t it be better to give up the deal to a more capable company.”
