Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 415 I Won't Let Anyone Control me

Meanwhile, Edgar was in a negotiation the whole afternoon in Royden Group. He was already exhausted when the other side signed the contract.

“Mr. Royden, I hope we can continue to work well together. I hope there won’t be any more negative news from your company.” The other side made a veiled statement.

After all, if a company’s reputation deteriorated, it would adversely affect its business partners. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lanier. I assure you that there won’t be any problem. Miles, please send Mr. Lanier downstairs.”

“Mr. Lanier, please come this way.” Once they left, Edgar headed to his office. As he was nearing his office, he saw a lean figure standing by the door. Her back profile and the way she dressed resembled Jean.

He quickened his footsteps and rushed over, only to discover that the woman was Gigi. His gaze turned cold, and his expression clearly showed how he felt about seeing her.

Gigi smirked awkwardly and knew he had mistaken her for someone else. “Jean is in a fashion design competition. Of course, she won’t show up here. I wanted to talk to you about something. Can we speak somewhere private?”

Edgar glanced at the staff behind him and coldly led her into his office.

After the door closed, Gigi took off her scarf and sat down carefully. “Edgar, I’ve decided to go overseas and will not be causing you trouble again. I have written a letter, and I hope you can help me give it to Jean.”

Her acting was now completely useless against him.

He looked at her without a hint of emotion.

“I know I’ve done many wrongs in the past. It was my fault, and I won’t let anyone control me anymore.” After saying that, she stood up straight away. However, she suddenly paused when her fingers touched the doorknob. “I heard you recently went on a blind date with Ms. Summer. You… You should consider it carefully.”

She left right after saying that.

Her words spread through Edgar’s mind, prompting his gaze to darken. He raised his hand and pressed on the intercom. “Miles, come here for a moment.”

That afternoon, news about Royden Group’s close relationship with Pinnacle Group and the possibility of a marriage alliance spread like wildfire.

Sherry was seated in an office above the competition area when she heard the news from her assistant.

“I haven’t done anything. Who released the news?”

“We do not know yet.” The assistant continued softly, “The news spreads rapidly because it involves two major corporations. We need time to investigate.”

She suddenly seemed amused. “Still, this is good
