Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 366

Chapter 366 Can't Help but Feel Jilted

Ben sneered and said, "I went easy on you." If not for his injuries that hadn't fully recovered, Colin wouldn't have been left with a mere mild concussion. He would have sent Colin to the hospital for three weeks

In an instant, the ferocious and sharp air that was emitted from Ben scared Leah. Much of her arrogance dissipated. But Ally, who was at the side, suddenly said, "Actually, how are they at fault? Eyer Group didn't make it clear that they weren't going to invest. This is just a misunderstanding."

She wanted to direct the rage to Jean. Her dad had previously discussed it with his friends, talking about how Eyer Group was developing so quickly. If they continued to evolve rapidly, how could she compare to Jean?

Hearing it, Leah immediately added, "Yes, this is a misunderstanding." She immediately pulled Colin, who was silent. "Alright, let's go home."

Shortly after, Ben left the hospital. He didn't look for Jean but went to the training grounds and did ten laps instead. He was fast and furious. It frightened Sonny and the new driver. "Sonny, your old racer is so intense."

"I... He must be in a bad mood today. You can leave now and come back tomorrow for practice," Sonny said. He ran to Ben with a bottle of water. "I saw the news. Are you alright?"

Ben nodded. He lifted his head and finished the bottle of water. His eyes stared at the entrance passage far away. During that time, Jean walked out of there every day.

But now, the distance between them was getting further. It was even further than the distance between her and Edgar. Ben raised his head. "Sonny, I can't help but feel jilted."

Soon, Ranford International officially terminated the contract with Eyer Group, while Eyer Group made the formal change to an investment company. The news spread throughout the industry. Many people were waiting for Eyer Group to be the laughingstock.

"What waves can that girlie cause?"

"I never thought that someone as honest and dutiful as Mr. Eyer could raise such a reckless, crazy girl."

There was a table full of corporation presidents at a dinner party. They shook their heads when Eyer Group was brought up.

Upon hearing it, Zenith's expression darkened. "You don't have to say that, Mr. Raben. I think that Eyer Group wants to have a breakthrough and bring forth new ideas. What's wrong with that?" The others clearly never imagined that Zenith would stand on Eyer Group's side.

They looked at each other and carefully thought if Jean had anything to do with the Rocher and Knox families.

Someone retorted, "Eyer Group can only survive to this day because of Edgar's magnanimity. If she does her job to protect the company, she may be acknowledged, but she's going through so much trouble. What is she doing if not trying to go down a dead end?"

"All the investment companies have to rely on Royden Group. It's clear that she wants to go against Edgar, and it's not beneficial to her at all. I don't think she can last for three months."

"When the time comes, Eyer Group would lose everything that they invested."

Zenith looked around him. Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.

He stood up. "I have something to do. I'll be leaving."

They watched as he left, as though displeased with their topic of discussion. They chuckled. "Let's wait and see."

Zenith walked out of the restaurant unhappily, and he saw a thin figure standing outside the door.

"Mr. Rocher." Jean walked over carrying folders. "I have something to ask you, and I'm wondering if you have the time?"

Zenith was startled. "How did you know that I was here?"

"I asked Jensen." Jean felt that she had to ask and learn more so she could do well.

"Have you been waiting for me here all this time while I was at the dinner party?" Zenith saw that her clothes were thin and the weather outside was so cold.

"Let's go. Let's talk about it at home."

Nathan had just arrived home and saw Jean from afar as she got out of Zenith's car.

He hesitated for a moment before he made a call to Edgar. "Do you want to come and have a drink at my place tonight?"

"I'm not interested."

"Jean is here. I think she's discussing something with my uncle."

"I'll be there immediately." The call ended.

Nathan clicked his tongue and shook his head as he heard the dial tone. "He's crazy. This man has gone crazy."

Jean stayed in Zenith's study room. The documents in front of her were investment-related information that she didn't quite understand. She summarized her questions and asked Zenith one by one. "For this, does it mean that..."

Zenith treated her like his own daughter. He gave her everything that he had in terms of his previous investment experience.

Jean listened as she made notes. She was exceptionally serious.

She didn't even notice that Jensen walked in twice.

"Mr. Rocher, can I do this then?"

Jean looked at Zenith after she finished. She wasn't sure if her thoughts were right.

Zenith nodded in surprise at once. "Yes. That's exactly right. What you're thinking of is correct. Ah, I never thought that you would be so good at this. You're much better than Jay."

One had to be sharp and decisive when in the investment industry.

The secret to success was to target new projects that would make waves and act before anyone else could.

Zenith praised Jean's thinking to the high heavens. It made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Rocher, I'm only testing the waters. I'm not sure if I will succeed." Jean was very calm. She knew full well it was impossible to strike gold overnight.

Especially for Eyer Group's current state. There were too many things that they still needed to learn and acquire.

Zenith said with sorrow, "It's amazing that you can take such a brave step. I believe that with time, Eyer Group will make a comeback."

"I hope for such a day as well."

"Alright, it's late. Let's go down and have some tea. Stay here for the night. I'll take you around the company tomorrow morning." "Can I?" Jean was filled with hope in an instant.

Zenith walked out of the study room with her, but they met Edgar in the corridor as he was also about to go downstairs.

"Mr. Royden?" Zenith was stunned. He didn't know that there would be guests at home today.

Jean raised her eyes and looked at the man. She assumed that he was there to look for Nathan, so she ignored him.

"Here."

Edgar walked to her and handed her a cup of coffee. "It's not hot. It's just right."

Jean was filled with bewilderment.

Nathan came up from behind and happened to witness such a scene. He explained at once, "Edgar said that the coffee tastes pretty good, so he was just heading to the study room to let you have a taste." He urged Edgar repeatedly to be patient.

He had almost scared Jean away.

Over the past few days, Nathan came to an important conclusion. Edgar was remarkable and talented in terms of business, but his dating IQ was basically at zero.

He didn't know what other women saw in him.

Zenith came to his senses. "Since you're here, Mr. Royden, let's go downstairs and have a drink in the tearoom."
