Chapter 284 Edgar's Bottom Line

Gigi wasn't bothered. "The child is due soon anyway. Once the baby is born, we just have to forge a DNA report. That's not hard."

I could even forge my pregnancy test reports. Why should I be worried about the child's DNA report? Edgar is always busy, and he won't care about these insignificant things.

Winnie was unconvinced. "Anyway, you have to be more careful. Given Edgar's personality, if he discovers that you betrayed and bluffed him, he'll surely kill you." Of course, Gigi was well aware of that.

"I have no choice; all my hope is on Edgar now. Andy was suspended recently and has been gambling all day. He's like a jobless wanderer. He can't hold a candle to Edgar. I'll never possibly get together with such a lousy man."

Although Andy could satisfy her sexual needs, Gigi's ultimate goal was to marry into a wealthy family. So, only Edgar could fulfill her desire!

Meanwhile, Edgar hurried to the company after hearing Miles' report.

"The few shareholders insist on withdrawing their investments unless Mr. Shaw's suspension is lifted."

"Ha! I bet they were threatened by Andy." Edgar looked out of the window.

"But Mr. Shaw has been gambling in the casinos overseas and has not contacted them. In fact, Jensen privately met up with Mr. Hart." Miles added.

Coldness flashed through Edgar's eyes.

"Head to Knox Residence."

"Yes, sir."

Before arriving at Knox Residence, Edgar sent Nathan a message. Before this, the only concern that was holding him back from taking any action was Nathan's condition. All other things were not within his consideration.

"Mr. Royden?" Zenith was about to head out and was surprised to see Edgar. "Nathan went to the company and might only be back at night."

Edgar lifted his cold eyes and blurted, "It's not him whom I'm looking for. I'm looking for Jensen."

"Jensen?" Before Zenith could understand what was going on, Jensen, who had just come downstairs, quickly scurried upstairs.

"Don't you dare to admit your own doings?" Edgar asked coldly. Thereafter, he strode into the living room and sat on the couch with his legs crossed. His eyes were as cold as ice.

"Mr. Rocher, I hope I didn't have to say this - I've given Jensen several chances, yet he kept challenging my bottom line. I'm determined to get to the bottom of this matter this time."

Zenith became more confused as he listened to Edgar's accusation. "What exactly happened? Jensen, come down and explain to me."

He was well aware of his son. If he didn't do anything wrong, he wouldn't hide in a panic at the sight of Edgar.

Standing upstairs, Jensen sent a few messages before he switched off the phone and went downstairs. "Hi, Mr. Royden, what brings you here? I forgot to take my phone charger just now and was about to go and get it in my room. What's the matter?"

Feigning an innocent look, Jensen sat down and put his phone, which was switched off, at the side.

Zenith looked less doubtful and spun to face Edgar. "Mr. Royden, could it be a misunderstanding?"

Edgar's expression remained unchanged as he waved his hand.

Standing beside him, Miles took out a few pictures. "Mr. Rocher has been interacting closely with a few of Royden Group's shareholders and has repeatedly attempted to disrupt the unity among Royden Group's staff. Not only that, he threatened the shareholders to sabotage the new projects Royden Group has invested in. Here's the evidence."

Jensen yelled immediately, "How can you simply accuse me with a few pictures? Edgar Royden, just admit it if you're here to stir trouble. Stop attempting to intimidate me..."

Before Jensen could finish his sentence, Miles played a recording.

Jensen's voice was recorded clearly. "Mr. Hart, as long as you do per my instructions, you'll obtain an additional ten percent of shares once Mr. Shaw becomes the president. By that time, you'll become the second biggest shareholder of Royden Group."

"I-I'll be doomed if Mr. Royden replaces out about this."

"There's nothing to be worried about. Even if that happens, you can come to my company. As long as we're in the same boat, Edgar will be destroyed by us sooner or later. With him around, no one will get any benefit. In contrast, everyone will live a good life if he disappears. Don't you agree?"

Edgar turned his head and stared daggers at Jensen, whose face had already turned pale before Edgar could speak up.

"Stop fooling around, Edgar Royden. Any tech-savvy person can forge a recording like this. Believe it or not, I can even make a video for you." With that, Jensen attempted to snatch the phone from Miles. However, Miles swiftly dodged before Jensen's hand could reach him.

"Take it easy, Mr. Rocher. For your information, we have both recordings and videos. We can even invite the involved parties over to confront you if there's a need. Mr. Royden has been putting up with you for the sake of Mr. Knox. He has given you many chances, but..."

Miles' statement represented Edgar's attitude. Edgar had personally come to settle matters with Jensen.

"You're stubborn and ungrateful. Not only did you disregard Royden Group's reputation, but you also disregarded our partnership. Since that's the case, Mr. Royden has no obligation to give you any more chances."

"Who are you to say this to me?! Even if I really did something wrong, it's not up to you to lecture me." Jensen sprang up and vented his anger on Miles as he didn't dare to offend the other two people who were present - Zenith and Edgar.

"That's enough!" Zenith bellowed and glared at his disappointing son with a frown. "Are you still going to deny it?"

He had raised Jensen since Jensen was a young child, so he was well aware of his character. Despite his gentle appearance, Jensen was actually a scheming person. This was one of the reasons why Zenith was hoping for Jean to become his daughter-in-law, so that she could control Jensen.

Little did he think that not only did his hope fail to realize, but Jensen had directly offended Edgar.

Looking flustered, Jensen had nowhere to escape. "Dad, it wasn't my own intention. I was just passing a message on behalf of another person. The mastermind behind all these is Andy Shaw. Even if someone has to become a scapegoat, that person will definitely not be me. I'm not even part of Royden Group."

"Come here!" Zenith was boiling with anger. "I said, come here!"

Jensen stood up reluctantly. As soon as he stood in front of Zenith, the latter slapped him fiercely in his face.

"I'm going to hit you to death, you punk! I asked you back to get married, not to stir up trouble. I don't care what you did out there, but Mr. Royden even came here to confront you. You better admit your own doings!"

For crying out loud, the affected party was Edgar Royden! Even Zenith, who was older than Edgar, had to show respect to the latter. Jensen had no right to argue with Edgar, and he would only suffer miserable consequences if he challenged Edgar head-to-head.

In fact, Edgar wouldn't be harmed even the slightest bit.

However, Edgar showed no response after Zenith slapped his son. He lifted his eyes indifferently and asked, "Mr. Rocher, do you think that will be enough?"
