Chapter 214 Malice
“Mr. Royden, will you still be going to the office?” The driver asked in a low voice as he could clearly feel the drop in temperature in the car.
“No,” Edgar said and opened the car door. When the concert ended, Jean wished that it could go on forever.
Her liking of the band used to be because she admired them. After going through so much, it was a different feeling when she listened to those songs again.
Ben was beside her. “Let’s go.”
Jean said, “Mm. There’s a café downstairs. Let’s go there. I have something to say to you.”
“… Okay.”
Jean sat on a seat by the window, and she smiled a little. “During this time, Ludwig Group has developed quite well under your leadership. I saw it on the news.”
Ben felt that she was a stranger when she acted like this.
He pushed a cup of coffee to her. “Reporters like to exaggerate.”
Jean rubbed her fingers against the cup of coffee and said, “Mm. I think that I should take some responsibility for the incident that happened, so I…”
“Jeannie, stop.”
A dark expression swiveled around in Ben’s eyes. He interrupted Jean and said, “No matter what you have to say, I don’t want to hear it today. Just let me be for this one time, alright?”
Jean frowned. “Don’t be so childish. What needs to be said has to be said sooner or later.”
“You haven’t seen how I will become after today. I will make Ludwig Group better. Then, no one will dare to bully or threaten you.”
He had never been so sure of anything before.
Even with racing, Ben had always had a playful attitude. But now, he was serious.
Edgar was just another person.
As long as Ben was willing to learn, before long, he could be a worthy opponent of that man.
Jean’s lips twitched. “There are some things that I don’t want you to get involved in. Edgar and I…”
Before she could finish, her gaze was fixed on a figure behind the door.
There was a coldness coming from him. His black coat was dotted with snow from the night. He looked around the lounge emotionlessly and walked to Jean at a fast pace when he saw her.
“It’s time to leave.”
Seeing the two cups of coffee, Edgar found it very unsightly.
“Jean isn’t going anywhere.” Ben stood up and was head-to-head with Edgar.
“Really?”
Edgar smiled scornfully. He glanced at Jean. The light in his eyes was dark and cold, like an indication of a blizzard that was about to come around.
Jean’s hand fastened on the surface of the desk.
She understood Edgar’s expressions too well. He always showed an expression like this whenever he was about to lose his temper.
If she didn’t want to involve Ben, she could only obey Edgar.
“Ben, let’s talk about it next time.” Jean stood up and looked down as she walked behind Edgar.
“Jeannie!”
Ben panicked. He rushed forward to drag her back.
But as soon as he reached out his hand, it was blocked by Edgar.
“Don’t demand what isn’t yours,” Edgar said before leading Jean out.
The snow outside was getting heavier.
Jean’s coat seemed very thin. She took a few steps forward and saw that Edgar had stopped.
He turned around and his eyes were cold. “Don’t think that I’ll give you my coat my coat, like he did.”
Jean frowned. “I never expected you to.”
She strode forward and walked to the car across the street.
When she reached the car, she realized that it was locked. Did it mean that Edgar personally drove and waited for her here?
