Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 221 An Exciting Moment

Subsequently, all eyes were on Jean. Some were curious; the others despising. Whatever happened to and in Eyer Group had circulated around. Everyone in the circle knew about their story.

Even though Jean had regained her fortitude after what went down in her family, it wouldn’t change anything. That was why Andy had let her into Royden Group.

Andy noticed a shift in public opinion in the conference room. He flicked the cufflink on his sleeve, “Right now, Reece Group is more suitable for this project. I think Ms. Eyer should know very well about our relationship with Reece Group.”

“…”

Jean didn’t say anything. “The daughter of Reece family will soon marry Royden Group’s president. Everyone knows Mr. Royden is a keeper who would do anything for his woman. How could such a terrific project be given to an outsider?”

What a dagger to the heart! Andy led the others up the garden path as if Jean was a vain and shameless woman, throwing herself at Edgar.

His inference stirred up whispers and snickers in the conference room. Murmurs could still be heard in the presence of the daunting Edgar among them. Some of them remained hushed but their thoughts were written all over their faces.

The daughter of a bankruptee; a desperate woman like Jean giving herself away in exchange for material and power. The project was given to Eyer Group because of her special relationship with Edgar.

The contract in Jean’s hand was scrunched as she tightened her grip. She had envisaged these scenarios on her way here. But when it really happened, she still couldn’t keep from flustering.

Edgar saw Jean’s predicament and frowned. He wanted to say something, but someone came in. “Mr. Shaw!”

All the managers rose from their seats and greeted Edbert. Edbert was a nice man by nature, but now he looked fierce, “Isn’t this a business meeting? There’s no need to didcuss other people’s private life.”

Everyone lowered their heads and shut up. Edbert pulled out a chair and sat next to Jean, “Every business undergoes setbacks. It’s inevitable. Didn’t Ms. Eyer already profess to solve this issue? Don’t be a bully. Royden Group participated in and discussed the selection of a business partner since the very beginning. So, it is also our responsibility to sort out this mess.”

Only Edbert, who was also Edgar’s uncle, had the authority to say that. At first, Edbert’s edict sounded like a wish granted. But then Andy realized the situation didn’t add up to his expectation.

“As long as Eyer Group is confident in solving the underlying issue, Royden Group has no right to terminate the contract.” Edbert turned the tide with just one sentence.
