Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 382

Chapter 382 Hurting Each Other

It happened a few times before. Sam took her somewhere while she was asleep and let disgusting older men have their way with her. Gigi clenched her fists. She pulled out her phone and searched for a number.

“Let’s meet. I need to tell you something about Jean.” Edgar spent the whole day with Jean. He accompanied her to have any food she wanted and did anything she liked to do.

“Don’t you have to go to the company?” Jean saw him going to the kitchen to get more food and immediately tried to stop him. “I’ve eaten more than enough. I can’t eat anymore.”

Edgar turned around and looked at her briefly before saying, “You should eat more and gain some weight. That should stop other men from desiring you.”

Although Jean could have changed her mind and decided to be with him, Edgar realized what Nathan said also made sense.

Jean smiled and accepted the apple he pushed to her. “Sure…”

Susan was busy in the kitchen and could not help but smile happily as she listened to their conversation. “This is wonderful. Mr. Royden finally settles down with the right person.”

Who would have known that a disaster would lead to happiness?

Suddenly, Edgar’s phone buzzed. He looked at the screen and frowned.

Jean smiled understandingly. “Don’t mind me. I’ll go and watch TV.”

“All right. I’ll be back soon.”

Edgar headed to the study on the second floor to answer the call. His expression turned cold as he listened to Miles’ report.

“Are you sure?”

His voice turned hoarse, and his eyes became shrouded with conflicting emotions.

“Mr. Royden, I’ve checked it many times. Ms. Eyer met with Mr. Shaw after something happened to you.”

Edgar’s gaze became cold as ice.

He gripped his phone. After a moment, he forced out these words. “No, she would never collaborate with Andy.”

“Mr. Royden, this is the only possibility for now. Mr. Shaw has formally handed in his resignation application today. He even used his remaining shares in Royden Group to pay his debt to the company.”

Why would someone like Andy surrender?

Everything seems too coincidental.

Edgar gripped his phone and remained silent for a long time.

On the other hand, Miles waited nervously for his instruction. He was worried that Edgar would do something irreversible in a fit of anger.

“Mr. Royden, I might be mistaken. Let me confirm it again.”

“No need, Miles…”

While the phone conversation continued in the study, Jean sat on the couch in the living room and watched for any movements from the study. At the same time, she took out her phone to check for messages.

There was only a message in French.

‘Good job. Follow the plan for your next step.’

Jean immediately pressed delete. Her gaze gradually dulled down.

It was late at night. Edgar remained swamped in the study with work. Jean saw Susan was still busy in the kitchen and approached her before asking softly, “Susan, I’ll head home first.”

“Ms. Eyer, are you not going to stay for dinner? I’ll bake a fish for you.”

Jean shook her head.

“There’s no need. I didn’t tell him either. Anyway, I’m heading off first.”

Jean quietly put on her coat and left by herself.

Susan stood stunned at her spot and was unsure whether she should inform Edgar upstairs.

After Jean left and shut the door behind her, Edgar soon came out of the study. He felt a chunk missing from his heart as he saw the empty living room.

“Did she leave?”

Susan looked at Edgar’s calm expression. He did not seem surprised at all.

She nodded and answered, “Ms. Eyer said she’s heading home first and told me not to disturb you.”
