Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 460

Chapter 460

Before leaving, Ben told her again, "I'm helping you because of our business relationship. You should think about your next steps. Don't focus on attacking Sam any further - he's a goner now' Jean patted his shoulders as she pushed him out of the door.

"Alright, alright.I know. Don't worry, Mr.Ludwig.I keep my boundaries clear between my work and personal life.I will never mess things up.Just wait for the profit!"

Ben wanted to give her more advice, but Jean seemed calm and relaxed. He heaved a sigh of relief, "I'll go home first. Sleep well"

Leaning against the door, she waved at him. They smiled at each other again.

Then, he got into the car and left.

Two bodyguards instructed to protect Jean exchanged glances in the dark.

"Should we report this to Mr.Royden?"

Half an hour later, Edgar received a report from Miles. He was still working in his study.

With an arched eyebrow, he repeated Miles' words ina low voice.

"Ben went to Eyer Residence, and he just left?"

Miles hesitated before replying, "Yes. They probably had dinner together"

Edgar clenched his pen tightly with a sarcastic smile on his face. She wanted to be discharged early and insisted on keeping a clear boundary between us. Was she in a hurry for her date with Ben? Worried, Miles suggested, "Perhaps they were discussing work."

"Continue to keep an eye on her"

A stack of health reports was placed on the top left corner of his desk.

Jean had done a series of health checks when she was hospitalized.

Edgar hired the most capable doctor to have a look at her.

Even though she had been injured, the baby was doing well even after she fainted from the chemical.

In conclusion, the baby was not harmed at all.

Hence, she likely teamed up with Sara to put on a show just to keep him away. He heaved a gentle sigh.

"Jean, I'm also a human - I feel tired also."

I've been chasing after her and taking care of her.I always show her how genuine I am and how much I care about her.I am exhausted from all this.

Just like what she said, perhaps it's better to give her some space that might be good for both of us.

In the corridor, a series of footsteps rang.

Miles brought Sherry over. She walked over to him in a purple dress.

"Thanks for agreeing to meet me, Edgar." Edgar shot her a cold stare.

"Ms.Summer, I've already made myself very clear. I have assigned another person to follow up on the collaboration with Pinnacle Group. It's useless even if you meet me. I'm not in charge of any projects you would like to discuss."

Truth be told, some of the massive projects were now under Edbert. He had to pay this price to get Jean back, and he was willing to do so.

Sherry lifted her head and looked at him.

"It's such a waste doing all this for Jean. Don't you think so? She doesn't even have feelings for you anymore."

With that, she took out her phone and showed him the picture of Jean and Hugo.

"She has already moved on from the divorce. Why can't you do that?" she asked agitatedly, taking a few steps forward.

I don't see how she's better than me!

"Edgar, look at me - I can give you everything you want.I don't even care if you don't like me."

I don't want to be sent to Charles like a Christmas present.

Compared to that, Edgar is the better option.

Sherry flashed all her trump cards at this point.

"When I studied abroad, I majored in business management. With me helping you, Royden Group will have a bright future!"

As long as he's mature and ambitious, he will know that this is like winning the lottery.

Only if he really wants to quit his job will he reject me.

After assuring him of her credentials, she flashed a smile she thought was attractive.

"Are you done?" he asked coldly.

"The door is right there - please go home. You don't have to tell me any of these insignificant matters." He was utterly unfazed.

Sherry lost all her pride and dignity in front of him.

Biting her lips, she demanded, "Edgar, you don't have to be this harsh! I come from the Summer family. What good would it do for you to humiliate me like that?" Edgar placed his hands on the chair.

Suddenly, he asked, "If I wasn't the president of Royden Group, would you still put so much effort into me?"Sherry was at a loss for words.

"Do you even think that question is meaningful?"

Edgar shook his head with a smile.

"You don't understand.I handed my company to my uncle, Edbert.No matter how much effort you spend on me, it's useless."

Sherry tightened her hold on her bag.

The corner of her lips twitched as she asked, "Are you really allowing Edbert to take over the company?"

Based on what I Know about him; he will never do a stupid thing like that. He must be out of his mind.

"Ms.Summer, I put on an act with you. Now that you brought up the past, I'll tell you again - Jean and I are not over, and we never will be.I will never accept any other woman apart from her. Do you understand me? Miles, please walk her out."

With tears welling in her eyes, she left his office, biting her lips hard as she walked away.

As soon as she left, Miles entered the room immediately.

"Mr.Edbert's secretary, George, is downstairs. But he should have gotten off work ages ago."

"I bet he's here to pick Sherry up."

Edgar turned around to look out the window.

Amidst the darkened surroundings, one of the floors in the opposite building suddenly lit up. He immediately stood up and walked past Miles to the elevator. "Mr.Royden, that's not-"

When Miles wanted to stop Edgar, he had already entered the elevator.

Miles sighed and continued, "That's not Jean; It's Rachel."

A few minutes later, Edgar arrived in front of Rachel and two other employees breathlessly.

They were printing some documents. His impulse dissipated instantly as he walked away into the seemingly never-ending darkness.

The following day, Sam was detailed by the prosecutors for further checking.

They detained him because he had moved a tremendous amount of money, yet he refused to pay interest.

"Who is behind this? I've done nothing! Where's my lawyer?"

While being brought away from his house, he turned around and yelled at Winnie, "Get me, my lawyer, now!"
