Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346 Avoidance

Women had the tendency to use their weakness as a weapon. Most men would fall for this trick, but Edgar wasn’t like most men. His eyes grew darker, but he stayed quiet.

Miles could feel the tension in him. With one look, the receptionist came and stood in Gigi’s way. “Ms. Reece, Mr. Royden still has some meetings to attend. Please step aside.”

“I’m not leaving!” Gigi shouted, “Edgar, the reason you don’t want to see me is all because of Jean, isn’t it? She saw me last night… She must’ve talked bad about me to you. I’m not that kind of person. Edgar, you can’t just believe her words.”

Jean’s eyes turned icy. She stood unmoving at the side. She slowly clenched her fist and crumpled the proposal in her hands. Gigi Reece was someone unsalvageable.

At this moment, Serena walked in with Joey. She was stunned for a second by the scene in front of her.

“Why’s everyone here? Mr. Reece, are you here to talk business?”

Sam was full of hatred when he saw the two who stole Reece Group’s stocks, but he had to swallow that hatred.

“We have a personal agenda with Mr. Royden.”

“Is that so? Do we still need to talk about the project, Mr. Royden? Or should Jean and I wait for you?” Serena was all smiles, and she looked like a warm person.

A glint of cruelty flashed past Sam’s eyes. This woman devours people for breakfast, yet she’s hiding her true self.

“There’s no need. Let’s go to the meeting room.” Edgar walked right past Gigi and went into the meeting room.

Gigi was being pulled back by some of Royden Group’s employees. She had no way to get close to Edgar.

She shouted, “Edgar, give me one more chance. Let me explain everything.”

Serena turned to Edgar and asked, “Did you fight with your wife?”

“There’s nothing between her and me.” Edgar said this and walked into the meeting room Miles had just opened the door to.

The sides of Serena’s lips lifted up, “I’ve heard a lot of things about you, Mr. Royden. I didn’t realize they were all rumors.” She said this as she sneaked a glance at Jean like she had meant something else.

At the same time, Edgar’s gaze was also fixed on Jean.

It was tense between the three of them.

Jean opened up the proposal in her hand and said, “Time is precious. Let’s get down to business.”

Serena stopped chattering and focused all her attention on the proposal. Ranford International had one of the best teams in the artificial intelligence field, so she had a lot of authority over what went on in the proposal. In other words, out of the three groups, Ranford International was the one they couldn’t do without. This fact was what gave Serena the confidence to negotiate. She listed a list of conditions that were extremely beneficial to Ranford International.

In actual fact, Edgar wasn’t interested in this proposal. The only reason he had joined was because of Jean. He stayed quiet throughout the whole meeting and kept glancing at Jean.

After checking all the details, Jean requested that they sign a new agreement contract.

“This is to protect our benefits.”

“I don’t think there’s a need. This project is out in the open. I provide the tools, Mr. Royden, the money, and Ms. Eyer. You just… need to wait for the interest.” Serena said plainly with a smile.

She completely wrote off the effort the Eyer Group employees had put into this project.

Jean couldn’t stand her employees being belittled. She was about to explain when Edgar stood up.

“Let’s do our best. The door’s over there.”
