Chapter 219 Let’s Have a Good Partnership
“Then why did Andy’s secretary say that Royden Group and Eyer Group…” Before she could finish, Edgar interrupted her.
“You don’t have to listen to them. In Royden Group, what I say counts,” Edgar said as he stood up and leaned over. He walked to her one step at a time. “Other than this, I have something else to ask you.”
His gaze in that moment was too deep. Jean panicked. The next moment, he grabbed her wrist. “If I call off the engagement with the Reece family, will you give me another chance?”
Jean’s heart shook violently when she heard that. “Edgar, did you drink too much and go crazy?” Jean’s face darkened. “I’ve said it before. I won’t exploit myself with those conditions.”
“No.”
Edgar wrinkled his brow, upset. “I didn’t mean that, I really…”
“Really what? You regret what happened in the past and you want to make it up to me?”
The man’s brows tightened slightly. In a low voice, he answered, “Yes.”
Jean immediately took a step back.
Hostility was written all over her face. She knew how to deal with Edgar deliberately playing tricks on her or going to great lengths to scheme against her.
When he looked at her so caringly, it only invoked the sad memories in Jean’s mind.
“When you told my dad that you wanted to marry me back then, you had the same attitude as you do right now.” Jean took a deep breath in. Her voice was still shaking. “I don’t know what you want from
me, but let me tell you, I will never repeat the same mistake again!”
The light in Edgar’s eyes slowly dimmed.
He really regretted it.
But she wouldn’t give him another chance.
“If you want to terminate the contract, Mr. Royden, I have nothing to say. But please don’t say things like that again. I’m going to move out right now. I’ve carried out the personal contract to my utmost duty. If you have any excessive requests, I’m sorry. I have no way to obey it.”
Jean turned around bluntly. She packed her things, and boldly left the villa through its doors.
The bodyguards at the door were about to stop her, but an order from Edgar came in their earpiece.
“Let her go.”
When Jean got back to her rented room, she was met with the smell of mold. She furrowed her brow as she looked at the narrow room before her eyes.
It definitely couldn’t compare to Edgar’s villa.
She spent the whole thinking about nothing and just cleaning. Then, she laid on her bed, relieved.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Edgar’s face that was as cold as an iceberg appeared. “Give me another chance?”
Jean immediately shook her head. “He’s insane!”
She thought about what she would do if Royden Group charged Eyer Group for breaching the contract.
As she was mulling things over, a call came in.
“Ms. Eyer, it’s me, Andy.” He laughed lightly. “I’m wondering if you’ve changed your mind about what we discussed previously? I would like to meet you in person to talk about it if it’s possible.”
“Mr. Shaw, you’re looking for the wrong person. I don’t have the right to make decisions about this partnership proposal.” Jean’s voice was dull.
She couldn’t imagine what Edgar was thinking about at the moment.
But since Andy was looking for her again, she could somehow confirm that Royden Group only listened to Edgar. Otherwise, Andy wouldn’t keep looking for her of his own accord.
“Ms. Eyer, you don’t have to reject me so hurriedly. Why don’t we meet, and you can listen to my conditions before you make your decision? Actually, with your current ability, you don’t always have to be controlled by Edgar.”
“… Where should I go to meet you?”
Half an hour later, Jean reached the entrance of a restaurant after following the address Andy had given her. The restaurant was restricted to private members only. She was stopped at the entrance.
“A man named Mr. Shaw told me to come here.”
The manager smiled. “Please wait here. I’ll take a look.”
