Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452

Edbert's kind demeanor sent a chill down her spine.He was responsible for the scheme.He conspired with Sam and Andy and even used the business with Pinnacle Group to threaten Edgar.

Yet, he acted as though nothing had happened.He's so scheming and manipulative that it's terrifying.

She frowned at him defensively.

Edbert's smile froze as he stepped backward to let them walk out of the elevator first.

"I came here because I have nothing much to do.I didn't expect you guys to be here, though.Let me know if you need any help."

"Aren't you-"

Jean could not stop herself.

Edgar quickly held her hand.

"Thanks, Uncle Edbert.We have to clear up the rumors about us.The reporters will be arriving in the afternoon."

While he was speaking, he slowly brought Jean behind his back.This distance is perfect.This way, Edbert and George can't touch Jean.

"I see.We'll be going now.Alas, once you get older, you simply don't have the same energy"

Edbert waved at them.

"Off you go, then."

As soon as the elevator door closed behind them, Edgar instructed, "Miles, let the board of directors know that the meeting later is canceled.Everyone from the public relations department has to stay back and work overtime.Let them know that I want to focus on the news regarding Pinnacle Group.

"Noted, Mr.Royden."

With that, Miles quickly entered the secretarial department office.Then, Edgar brought Jean into his office and pulled down the blinds.

"Take a seat.I need to-"

Before he could finish his sentence, he received a call.

"Just carry on with work"

She quietly walked to the side.

The decor in his office had not changed a bit.It was minimalistic with gray tones, making him seem aloof and distant.

The same pictures were shown in his photo frames — with Susan and his parents.She zoned out for a moment there.

I never tried to know more about his life, did I? Since the accident, what has he been through, and how much has he suffered to achieve his success today? Sitting at his desk, Edgar spoke fluently in another language to the CEO of another company.

He spoke firmly at the perfect speed, giving an air of reliability.

Anyone would easily be influenced by him.

As sunlight shone at him through the windows, his side profile and jawline seemed even more attractive.

Jean retracted her gaze and walked out of the room.

Since Edgar was busy working, it was inappropriate for her to be there.

After walking out of the room, she noticed that the corridor was quiet.

Everyone from the secretarial department was busy at their desks.

Hence, her footsteps seemed loud.

"I think the pantry is here."

She looked at the door sign, but something else in the printing room caught her eye.

"Quick!" someone said furtively.

"Alright, alright.Stop rushing me.Mr.Royden has too many contracts.We have to make sure that we got everything"

Are they stealing the documents? Jean wanted to leave, but as soon as she started moving, she knocked into someone.It was George, the secretary with Edbert from moments ago.He was much taller than Jean.He sneered at her maliciously through his golden-rimmed glasses.He covered her mouth and pulled her into the storeroom behind them.
