Chapter 559
Miles came late. When he saw John, Edbert, and the other directors, he made his way to them leisurely.
“Please come in if you have time. Mr. Edgar would like you to witness it,” Miles calmly said, then turned around and left, ignoring the furious expressions on their face.
Edbert no longer held any prestige among these people.
“How about we go and have a look, Mr. Blanc?”
These people were opportunists. They were ready to jump ship if they saw a better opportunity.
“Do you think Edgar will forgive you for how you treated him?” John said harshly. He looked at Edbert with eyes full of hate and spat, “Edbert, explain the situation. Is this all a ploy devised by you and that Shaw brat to steal our money?”
He wouldn’t have believed Edbert if he hadn’t been so convincing. He had taken out all his money from Royden Group and invested it in Andy Shaw. But now it was all gone.
Edbert inhaled slowly, his face stoic as he said, “Let’s go.” He wanted to see how Edgar would revive Royden Group.
John and the other directors shuffled behind him with crestfallen faces. All the excitement from last night had faded. They realized their childishness once they entered the meeting room.
“Mr. Edgar, what you are saying is that Royden Group is no longer in any financial difficulties with Mr. Bolt’s investment. Is that right?”
“Will Royden Group be moving on to Al technology? Will you become the ‘Oprah Group’ of Yorktown?”
The cameramen all had their cameras pointed at Edgar and Jean.
“Please take turns. Mr. Edgar will answer all questions.” Miles tried to keep the reporters’ eager questioning at bay.
A few days ago, the public had been discussing when Royden Group would announce bankruptcy. They were all dumbfounded when Edgar and Jean appeared today. It was as if they were phoenixes reborn from their ashes.
With Miles’ approval, one of the reporters started to broadcast live.
Those waiting for Edgar to fail miserably were forced to look up to him once again. When the public started to become slightly pacified, the reporters changed the direction of their questions toward the relationship between Edgar and Jean.
“Are you guys remarried?”
“Not yet,” Edgar replied quickly and continued with a tinge of regret, “I made a grave mistake and wronged her. I will use the rest of my life repaying my debts.”
“Such flowery words,” Julia scoffed with her arms crossed.
Ivan timidly nodded beside her. “I agree. He should just answer the questions. Is there a need to give extra information? He’s just degrading the importance of this press conference.”
There was a lull of silence in the room when he said this, and several people who heard him turned to look at him. They had been paying attention to Edgar, so they did not notice a beautiful lady beside the single Mr. Bolt. From how they interacted, it seemed Ivan Bolt doted on her.
Julia glanced at the stage and Ivan. “That’s my niece’s future husband. Be careful what you say. No matter how extra his words are, they are more substantial than those that don’t keep their promises.”
The people listening to their conversation were speechless. How could someone talk like that to the ‘Ivan Bolt’ that shook the business world ten years ago? And he’s laughing?
