Chapter 219 Chapter 219 Let's Have a Good Partnership "Then why did Andy's secretary say that Royden Group and Eyer Group..." Before she could finish, Edgar interrupted her.
"You don't have to listen to them. In Royden Group, what I say counts," Edgar said as he stood up and leaned over. He walked to her one step at a time. "Other than this, I have something else to ask you." His gaze in that moment was too deep. Jean panicked. The next moment, he grabbed her wrist. "If I call off the engagement with the Reece family, will you giveanother chance?" Jean's heart shook violently when she heard that. "Edgar, did you drink too much and go crazy?" Jean's face darkened. "I've said it before. I won't exploit myself with those conditions." "No." Edgar wrinkled his brow, upset. "I didn't mean that, I really..." "Really what? You regret what happened in the past and you want to make it up to me?" The man's brows tightened slightly. In a low voice, he answered, "Yes." Jean immediately took a step back.
Hostility was written all over her face. She knew how to deal with Edgar deliberately playing tricks on her or going to great lengths to schagainst her.
When he looked at her so caringly, it only invoked the sad memories in Jean's mind.
"When you told my dad that you wanted to marryback then, you had the sattitude as you do right now." Jean took a deep breath in. Her voice was still shaking. "I don't know what you want from me, but lettell you, I will never repeat the smistake again!" The light in Edgar's eyes slowly dimmed.
He really regretted it.
But she wouldn't give him another chance.
"If you want to terminate the contract, Mr. Royden, I have nothing to say. But please don't say things like that again. I'm going to move out right now. I've carried out the personal contract to my utmost duty. If you have any excessive requests, I'm sorry. I have no way to obey it." Jean turned around bluntly. She packed her things, and boldly left the villa through its doors.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe bodyguards at the door were about to stop her, but an order from Edgar cin their earpiece.
"Let her go." When Jean got back to her rented room, she was met with the smell of mold. She furrowed her brow as she looked at the narrow room before her eyes.
It definitely couldn't compare to Edgar's villa.
She spent the whole thinking about nothing and just cleaning. Then, she laid on her bed, relieved.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Edgar's face that was as cold as an iceberg appeared. "Giveanother chance?" Jean immediately shook her head. "He's insane!" She thought about what she would do if Royden Group charged Eyer Group for breaching the contract. As she was mulling things over, a call cin.
"Ms. Eyer, it's me, Andy." He laughed lightly. "I'm wondering if you've changed your mind about what we discussed previously? I would like to meet you in person to talk about it if it's possible." "Mr. Shaw, you're looking for the wrong person. I don't have the right to make decisions about this partnership proposal." Jean's voice was dull.
She couldn't imagine what Edgar was thinking about at the moment.
But since Andy was looking for her again, she could somehow confirm that Royden Group only listened to Edgar. Otherwise, Andy wouldn't keep looking for her of his own accord.
"Ms. Eyer, you don't have to rejectso hurriedly. Why don't we meet, and you can listen to my conditions before you make your decision? Actually, with your current ability, you don't always have to be controlled by Edgar." "... Where should I go to meet you?" Half an hour later, Jean reached the entrance of a restaurant after following the address Andy had given her. The restaurant was restricted to private members only. She was stopped at the entrance.
"A man named Mr. Shaw toldto chere." The manager smiled. "Please wait here. I'll take a look." It was what places like this did. Jean didn't say anything.
She stood there waiting and suddenly saw a familiar figure from afar. It was Edgar! Contents belong to Jean immediately hid behind a pole.
She saw Edgar say to Miles, who was behind him, "Stop the Eyer Group partnership proposal for the tbeing..." Jean couldn't clearly hear what was said after that.
Eyer Group didn't have the hope of making a comeback. This thought kept swirling around in her mind.
If she missed this opportunity, she didn't know how long she would have to wait.
When the manager cout and ushered her in, she barged in and went straight to Andy. "Royden Group has decided to stop the partnership with Eyer Group, am I right?" She needed to seek confirmation.
Andy's narrow and shrewd eyes were colored with mirth. "You receive news fast, Ms. Eyer." After a while, Jean's heart was still unable to calm down.
Why did Edgar have to hurt her again and again! Did he think that it was fun? To give her hope before ruthlessly tearing it to shreds.
Andy leaned back in his chair. He said indifferently, "But right now, an official order has yet to be issued. If Eyer Group wants to continue the partnership, there is still an opportunity to do so." "You want to continue the partnership with Eyer Group?" Jean frowned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe should be helping out the Reece family instead.
"Ms. Eyer, you should have heard this before. There's no such thing as an eternal friendship, only eternal benefits. I'm a businessman. I only think about making money. From how I see it, partnering with you is more beneficial tothan partnering with the Reece family."
As Andy spoke, his smile deepened, and he threw out a bargaining chip. "If you have your doubts, Ms. Byer, I can invite you to join a meeting amongst the high level board members of Royden Group tomorrow "} morning. When the tcomes, you'll know what kind of person Edgar is." "There's no need for that. I know full well what kind of person he is." Jean's eyes grew colder. "I just want to ask. How would the partnership go? I don't want to waste my time.” If the partnership stopped, what awaited Eyer Group would very likely be a statement of charges from the court, or a huge amount of compensation that she had to pay.
She couldn't wait. She couldn't afford to.
Andy immediately smiled. "Alright. I'll send a car around to pick you up tomorrow morning. Let's have a good partnership, Ms. Eyer." He extended his arm on his own accord.
Jean just quietly said, "I hope that you are someone who keeps thein word, Mr. Shaw Otherwise, even if I have to give up my life, I will make sure Royden Group pays the price." She turned and left.
Andy's hand slowly fell. He stared at the beautiful figure that disappeared through the door. A malicious expression streaked across his eyes.
"As expected from a woman that Edgar has his eyes on. This is interesting." The next morning, Jean was sent by Andy's driver to the underground parking lot at Royden Group.
Andy's secretary, Theo, was waiting for her by the entrance of the elevator.
"Ms. Eyer, this way." Jean didn't have a good impression of him and stayed silent the whole way.
Theo, on the other hand, couldn't stop chattering. "I told you. Mr. Shaw is the one who has the right to decide on items for the partnership...' Jean had no emotion on her face as she walked forward. She suddenly asked, "Aren't we going to the meeting room?"
"It's not tyet." Theo opened the door of an office and gave Jean a cell phone. You can watch Proceedings in the meeting the the meeting room here. When Mr. Shaw gives his orders, I will take you there right away." Jean nodded. "Alright." Theo smiled meaningfully. "You're a smart person, Ms. Eyer. You better not have any other intentions. Mr. Shaw isn't fooled easily." X
