Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 293 Tolerance

Jean listened as Zenith recalled memories he had long forgotten. Even though he couldn’t remember anything of use to her, it confirmed her suspicions. This bangle belonged to the Eyers.

Someone was selling her family’s belongings right under her nose. Who else besides Edgar would have the gall to do such a thing? Jean left the Rocher Residence with more questions than answers.

Meanwhile, Gigi was crying in pain while delivering the baby. They had injected her with an anesthetic, but it didn’t work. She waited for hours while in pain and was pushed back into her room to wait until she was fully dilated.

The doctor suggested for her to deliver naturally after checking up on her to avoid any unnecessary injuries to the body. Gigi was covered in sweat. She leaned against the pillow, all out of sorts.

“Where is Edgar? Has he arrived yet?” She asked in a weakened voice. “Something came up at work. He’s in a meeting.” A lone tear escaped the corner of her eye. “Why… Why doesn’t he feel sorry for me?”

Winnie sighed helplessly. “Just endure it a bit longer.” Gigi smiled bitterly. “Endure it?”

She had been enduring by herself all this while. “Leave. I want to be alone.” Why didn’t she see Jean the last time she went to Royden Residence? Gigi stared at Winnie’s side profile. She no longer trusted Winnie.

After Winnie had shut the door behind her, Gigi made a phone call. “I promise that I’ll work together with you as long as you promise me one thing. My child needs to be the heir to the Royden empire.”

Meanwhile, Edgar was still in a meeting at the company. Miles was reluctant to hand over the report that said that Eyer Group was about to break into the smart intelligence industry and had already formed their own team.

This was obviously aimed at the Royden Group. “Mr. Royden, Eyer Group’s designs and concept are extremely similar to Project A’s. However, they have announced it ahead of us…”

Which meant that Royden Group could no longer use Project A. An entire year’s worth of labor gone just like that.

Sighs echoed around the table.

First, they had lost the bidding. On top of that, they had also sold it for a million less than they had hoped for. And now, their project was stolen.

“How did Eyer Group find out about Project A? Someone in the company must have leaked it to her!”

While everybody was busy suspecting each other, Miles coughed when he saw the expression on Edgar’s face.

It was most likely that this was stolen right from Edgar’s home office.

Edgar grew somber. He studied the faces of his employees. “I’m going on a business trip to regain the company’s reputation. Right now, our focus needs to be on finding another project that will rival Project A. You have three days.”

“Three days?”

They were all baffled.
