Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 452

Edbert's kind demeanor sent a chill down her spine.He was responsible for the scheme.He conspired with Sam and Andy and even used the business with Pinnacle Group to threaten Edgar.

Yet, he acted as though nothing had happened.He's so scheming and manipulative that it's terrifying.

She frowned at him defensively.

Edbert's smile froze as he stepped backward to let them walk out of the elevator first.

"I came here because I have nothing much to do.I didn't expect you guys to be here, though.Let me know if you need any help."

"Aren't you-"

Jean could not stop herself.

Edgar quickly held her hand.

"Thanks, Uncle Edbert.We have to clear up the rumors about us.The reporters will be arriving in the afternoon."

While he was speaking, he slowly brought Jean behind his back.This distance is perfect.This way, Edbert and George can't touch Jean.

"I see.We'll be going now.Alas, once you get older, you simply don't have the same energy"

Edbert waved at them.

"Off you go, then."

As soon as the elevator door closed behind them, Edgar instructed, "Miles, let the board of directors know that the meeting later is canceled.Everyone from the public relations department has to stay back and work overtime.Let them know that I want to focus on the news regarding Pinnacle Group.

"Noted, Mr.Royden."

With that, Miles quickly entered the secretarial department office.Then, Edgar brought Jean into his office and pulled down the blinds.

"Take a seat.I need to-"

Before he could finish his sentence, he received a call.
