Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 187 Chapter 187 That's Unnecessary "Ms. Eyer, please make your decision soon. We need to proceed with other segments." The staff reminded Jean kindly. They could not let the other attendees continue waiting for Jean.

Edgar stood opposite Jean with a stern expression. At the stime, unidentifiable emotions flickered in his deep-set eyes. "If you are scared, get out. But don't ever expect Eyer Group to amount to anything." His words were like daggers, piercing through Jean's heart. I have said I will raise the Eyer family to its former glory but do I have the ability to do so? Since Edgar is givinga chance, I should grab it, right? Jean's hand trembled slightly as she held the pen. "Jean..." Ben wanted to rush onto the stage, but someone stopped him. “Mr. Ludwig, it is not your place to help in this matter.” At the stime, more people began to discuss fervently. Jean clenched her nose and heard Edgar. “It is you who is throwing away this chance. Don't cbeggingfor it in the future." "I'll sign!" Jean said through gritted teeth and immediately signed her name. Edgar arched his eyebrows and sneered. "Since you have signed, you are not allowed to change your mind." Once again, Edgar was in control of this gof revenge. However, Jean was only flustered for a few seconds before regaining her senses. She handed the signed agreement to Edgar and replied, "I won't change my mind. However, the scan't be said of certain someone who treated marriage as a gand used it as a bargaining chip for revenge." Edgar's eyes turned fierce. On the other hand, Jean's eyes becspirited again as she said, "Mr. Royden, I hope you won't regret it this time." Then, she left the stage and walked away resolutely. She headed straight to the washroom and gave a long sigh the moment she locked the door. Her hands were covered with cold sweat. She could not understand what Edgar was up to this time. Why did he give Eyer Group a chance to rebuild itself? Is it so that he could ruin my life again? Or, is he planning to make other companies hate Eyer Group so that he could easily make it disappear again? Neither of them is good news. However, if I did not accept the collaboration, it would amount to giving up on an easy profit. Everyone would mockfor being a coward.

It turns out Edgar's decision can easily forceinto a difficult position. Jean turned on the tap and splashed cold water on her face. "There's nothing to be scared of." She bit her lower lip. "All I need to do is persevere. Then, things will eventually turn to my advantage." It was break twhen she returned to the hall. Everyone began to discuss amongst themselves as Jean walked in.

"She dares to sign the agreement. Is Eyer Group even able to carry out the project? I heard she is the only person in the company." "Doesn't that mean she got this lucrative project without having to do anything? Why am I not as lucky?" "Yet, she took so long to sign the agreement on the stage. Perhaps she was scared sh*tless." "Who knows, she might be thinking of using this as a chance to get close to Edgar and rekindle old flames..." Everyone thought since Jean managed to cling to the powerful Royden Group, Eyer Group would becsuccessful even if Jean knew nothing about business.

Jean listened to them, but her expression remained calm.

"Are you alright?" Ben found Jean and looked at her worriedly.

She shook her head and smiled. "Don't worry about me. Instead, you should worry about yourself. Will you be okay now that Ludwig Group didn't get the project?" Ben frowned and answered, "My father did not expect Royden Group to suddenly change the rules either." Everyone in the hall felt the sas Ben. They suspected Edgar did it for a reason.

They even believed Edgar made sure Eyer Group was picked.

Although many were dissatisfied, no one dared to confront Edgar about it. Doing that would amount to a death wish.

Therefore, everyone took out their jealousy and anger on Jean.

Jean knew she would have a difficult tahead. Furthermore, she would have to bear the blif something went wrong with the project.

If she was a little careless, she could lose everything.

"He deliberately did this." Jean said calmly, "He wishes to seebeg for his forgiveness." Ben's expression fell. He beceven more worried about Jean.

"Don't worry about me. I already figured out how to retaliate when I signed the agreement." "What..." Ben wanted to ask Jean something.

However, Miles cover before Ben could finish speaking. “Ms. Eyer, Mr. Royden is waiting for you in the meeting room upstairs. He would like to discuss sdetails of the collaboration with you." Jean had expected this. "Sure." She followed Miles to the meeting room and pushed open the door to find Edgar sitting there alone.

She walked in and looked at him calmly.

"Mr. Royden, you went through so much trouble for this. Aren't you tired?" "The ghas only just reached the fun part. Why would I be tired." Edgar turned around. His gaze was colder than the wind outside. "Eyer Group is only an empty shell of a company. You won't be able to carry out this project." Contents belong to Edgar's words carried a hint of threat as he waited for her to plead for mercy.

Although Jean responded impressively just now, it did not change the fact that she was in a precarious position. After all, Royden Group could easily file a petition and bring her to court.

Jean looked at him and smirked. “Mr. Royden, aren't you being too harsh? How are you sure Eyer Group can't carry out this project? Furthermore, didn't Royden Group propose to change the selection method at the last minute? If I'm not mistaken, every lot in that box was Eyer Group." Jean spoke calmly and looked straight into Edgar's eyes.

At the stime, she kept reminding herself not to panic but think carefully. There was bound to be an opening she could utilize.

Edgar is not a god but a mere mortal. Even if he holds immense powers, there is bound to be something he neglected to consider.

Jean gained more confidence as she thought about that.

She would not lose if she persisted.

After a lengthy confrontation, neither spoke for a long time.

Edgar suddenly narrowed his gaze. He could not deny Jean was more courageous than most people he knew. That gave him a sudden interest in continuing the negotiation.

It wasn't because he wanted to torment her. Instead, he honestly desired to listen to her plans.

The meeting room door remained shut all this while with Miles standing guard outside.

Suddenly, someone hurried toward the meeting room.

"Where is Edgar?" Gigi demanded and was about to barge into the meeting room.

Miles stopped her and explained quickly, "Ms. Reece, Mr. Roydenis in the midst of a/nfieeting. Please wait outside for a while." "You wantto wait? Get out of the way!"

Gigi banged on the door. "Edgar, cout now! I know you are in the arginthe is room. In fact, I know Jean is in there too my too. What are the two of you doing in there?" Jean smiled in the meeting room.

It was she who sent Gigi an anonymous message.

Still, she did not expect Gigi to arrive so soon.

"Is this the capability you spoke of?" Edgar said sternly as anger grew within him.
