Chapter 146 Safe and Sound
At half past seven in the evening that night, Edgar and Nathan went to Luminance Club. As soon as they entered, the manager welcomed them instantly.
“Mr. Royden, this way, please. While leading them inside, he added, “It’s been a while since you last came here, Mr. Royden, so we specially prepared a few special dishes for you. Please give it a try.”
If it weren’t for Myer, who invited him here several times, Edgar would not bother to come here.
Behind them, some people were quietly discussing, “That’s Edgar, isn’t it? Have you read the article? Both him and Gigi were chatting about bedroom affairs at the maternity ward. How explicit!” “Yet, they already failed to have a wedding twice. How… humiliating.” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Edgar’s face darkened as soon as he heard that, but Nathan was forcing back a smile. “I wonder who you have annoyed to play such tricks on you.” Suppressing his anger, he retorted in a low voice, “Who else could it be?”
Apart from Jean, who would take such an action that is meaningless yet highly effective?
He had always been a person who was disdainful to explain everything, so the rumors got out of hand. Someone even said that he could not hold himself back and did it with Gigi in public.
It was very crude indeed! He took out his phone and saw a message from Miles. ‘Mr. Royden, the news is already covered up, but…”
As he heard what Miles reported, his gaze became increasingly colder. “Continue to look for her.”
“Yes, Mr. Royden.” Clearly sensing that he got angry, Nathan asked quietly, “What’s wrong?”
“Jean’s missing.” In the private room, Myer welcomed both of them warmly, not forgetting to shower praises to Edgar. “You are so young and talented, Mr. Royden. At your age, I was completely incapable of managing such a big company.”
Regardless, Edgar merely pulled a long face and looked at his phone. He was not responsive at all.
Nathan quickly salvaged the situation by explaining, “I hope you don’t mind, Mr. Ludwig. He has some things to settle, so let’s go ahead and start first.”
Myer merely smiled back. After all, he could not afford to step on the wrong side of Edgar.
At this moment, he received a call from Farra.
“Excuse me.”
After picking it up and hearing what she had to say, he replied impatiently, “Perhaps her phone is out of battery. There’s no need to panic. Ben will be having the operation tomorrow – that is more important. Why are you going out to find her? My goodness!”
However, when he hung up, he clearly saw that Edgar’s expression became even more aloof.
He froze, not understanding where he had gone wrong.
“Thanks for your kind intentions, Mr. Ludwig, but I can’t stay any longer.” With that, he got up to leave.
The luxurious dishes meant nothing to him.
When he heard how the Ludwig family treated Jean, he could not stand being there for another second.
“What? Mr. Royden!” Myer wanted to go after him, but he was stopped by Nathan.
“Mr. Ludwig, the goods that you supplied to Royden Group previously seem to have some problems. Before discussing another collaboration, you should probably improve the management of your company. Let’s not make things difficult for everyone.”
Myer sighed helplessly and lowered his head to look at his phone, thinking that this was not the reason for Edgar’s annoyance.
When Edgar walked out of the club, Miles was already waiting for him beside his car.
“Mr. Royden, we still can’t contact Ms. Eyer, but we found her last location based on her phone signal.”
“Let’s go.”
…
Zoe’s apartment was dimly-lit.
She gritted her teeth as she looked at Jean, who tied her to a chair. “Let me go. Have you gone nuts?”
Jean merely looked at her calmly.
