Chapter 390 Mad Words
Edna gave Jean her personal contact details before they parted. “Opening a design company is a serious matter. Moreover, the design field has been quite tumultuous recently. Ms. Eyer, if you have any ideas on this, we can arrange a time to have a good chat in my office.”
Then, her smile grew even more apparent. “You won’t have to go through Mr. Ludwig to reach me next time.” “Yes, Ms. Jadot. Let’s meet again.” The meeting came to a happy end.
Jean hardly ate anything but did not feel hungry at all. Instead, she felt energized. Moreover, the gloom from being confined in Edgar’s villa disappeared.
“Jean, you seem different today.” Ben could not help but sigh. “I almost thought I had returned to the time we were students. You were also like this then and cared for nothing else as soon as you got to talk about design.”
Since the beginning, Ben was sure that Jean was meant to be a designer. Unfortunately, she chose to get married and leave designing behind.
Jean chuckled and said, “Ben, if not for what I’ve been through, I would never be this determined to fulfill my initial dream. I believe everything in life is fated with the aim to make us better people.”
Ben was glad that she could think of her life this way.
“By the way, I’ve secured the venue you asked for. The rest depends on you. I’ll be going to a branch company for inspection and will probably be away for a few months.” Ben looked into Jean’s eyes. “I hope you will have gained your footing by the time I return.”
By then, he would have been formally made the president of the Ludwig Group. He could secure his position using his achievements in the past six months and fully take over the company from his father.
Once that happened, he would be able to confront Edgar head-on.
Furthermore, he would not allow anyone to bother Jean anymore.
Jean looked up and met his resolute gaze.
She suddenly smiled. “Yes, I’ll do my best.”
“About later, will you…”
“I’ll return to Edgar’s villa.” Jean picked up a fork and began to eat. “There are still unresolved matters between us.”
Ben opened his mouth to say something but decided against it.
“Sure.”
Jean returned using the same way she escaped. The anxious maids heard running water from her bathroom and rushed over.
“Ms. Eyer, you’re home?”
Jean blinked at them in confusion. “You’re mistaken. This is not my home.”
She walked into the bedroom and shut the maids outside the door.
The maids looked at each other. “What’s going on? Do we still need to inform Mr. Royden?”
Things were peaceful in Royden Group for the next two days. Although it did not leak any news to the public, Jean managed to hear something from Edbert.
Andy would be officially leaving Royden Group.
Judging from Andy’s greed, he would bring a portion of the people with him as he left. Coincidentally, Edgar would not be in the company for some time. Once Andy left, it would result in a severe blow to Royden Group.
Then, Sam would join forces with a few small companies and snatch a chunk of resources from Royden Group.
By the time Edgar returned, things would be in a dire state.
Jean held her phone and listened to Edbert. “Once Edgar returns, you should go on a holiday with him. It’s best to go away for ten to fifteen days, understand?”
Jean chuckled.
“You think too highly of me. He has begun to suspect me. I think your chess piece has reached a dead end.”
She gripped the tabletop with some force. Her gaze slowly turned vicious.
“That’s my problem to consider. You, as the chess piece, should do your part. If not, I believe you understand the consequences better than I do.”
‘Clap.’
Edbert hung up right after saying that.
Jean heard the beeping noise and bit the corner of her lip.
