Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 558

Chapter 558

“He’s an old friend,” Julia said hesitantly.

Ivan went along with whatever she said.

Jean did not ask anymore. She turned to Edgar to signal him, but he was talking to Nathan and didn’t notice her. She could only listen to Ivan.

At last, he promised, “I agree to use my assets to invest in Royden Group. I do not need any shares.”

Is it that simple?

Jean gaped and kicked Edgar under the table.

Edgar got her meaning and said with a smile that did not meet his eyes, “The company is…”

Ivan stopped him before he could say anything else, “Mr. Edgar, we should’ve partnered up a long time ago. We’re only doing this now because of my indecisiveness. Let’s do our best.”

The room went silent. Nathan squirmed in his seat.

“Mr. Bolt, I’m sure you’ve seen the news about Royden Group. Do you not mind?”

It’s not that he was envious of Edgar having a man that came to him on his accord to ask for a partnership; he was just worried that the situation would change or maybe Ivan was someone Edbert

had bribed to create trouble for them.

Ivan’s eyes crinkled as he smiled, “I believe Mr. Edgar isn’t someone bad. How would I earn any money if I invested according to rumors and followed other people’s trends?”

His words convinced Nathan.

At the same time, Edgar nodded, “Now that I know you have this vision, let’s find another time to chat.”

“There’s no need. I’ve…” Ivan started to say but stopped when Julia glared at him.

He shut his mouth and then put on a smile again.

“Alright, I was too impatient. Let’s find a time to chat.”

The more she listened to him, the more suspicious she grew.

She interrogated Julia when they went to the bathroom, “Aunt Julia, what’s your relationship with Mr. Bolt?”

Julia was washing her hands nonchalantly.

“He’s just an old friend I haven’t seen in a while.”

“Then why would he suddenly want to partner with Royden Group?” Jean asked doubtfully.

Julia cleared her throat and said, “I don’t know. Maybe he found out that I came back and heard about my relationship with Edgar, so he came to rekindle our friendship.” She turned to Jean and continued, “If you think there’s something fishy going on, talk to Edgar. There’s no need to become partners.”

Jean was hesitant. Royden Group needed a powerhouse. Ivan appearing now was like a gift from the heavens. She couldn’t make the decision for Edgar.

“Alright, don’t overthink it. Gigi is going overseas for treatment with Dr. Walterson this weekend. Will you send her to the airport?”

“Yeah, I will.” Jean turned the tap on, and her hands were encased in cold water.

The meeting with Ivan went too smoothly.

On the way home, Edgar was still uncertain.

“With his prestige, I’m sure he has heard the rumors. Yet, he chose to believe Royden Group. Could he have a third eye?”

“Could it be…” Jean did not continue her thought. Although she was suspicious, she could feel Ivan’s

sincerity. He was keen to collaborate with Royden Group.

“Let’s not think too much about it. You should go back and rest,” Edgar said, then covered her hands with his. They had to pass tomorrow first. His heart ached as he thought about Jean working late with him all these days at the office.

Royden Tower was filled with reporters early the following morning.
