Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 465

Chapter 465

"Do you have a better idea?"

The man's eyes were cold as he asked solemnly.

Miles was stunned for a few seconds.

But he answered quickly, "I'll do it right away."

Just as he was about to leave, Edgar continued, "Do it properly. Make sure no one knows I'm joining before the race starts."

"Yes, Mr.Royden."

Miles closed the door and walked out with brisk footsteps. He sat by the window and pressed his forehead. He was two rooms away from her. But he could not appear before her. He had to guess what was on her mind.

The man smiled bitterly.

Perhaps this was a torture to them.

The office of the president of the Royden Group was locked.

Edbert's office was now filled with all the directors of the company.

They all had cunning smiles as they approached Edbert, "Now that Mr.Edbert holds the most power in the company, Royden Group will achieve greater heights!"

"Yes. We will become better now that all the scandals that ruined the company's reputation are over."

"Mr.Edbert, we will give you our full support."

Edbert sat on the sofa in front of them. His eyes were dark.

After a very long time, he answered.

"I'm just the vice president of the company.I accepted this position because I wanted to help my nephew, Edgar, deal with some matters. Thank you, everyone, for your support.All of you play an important role in determining Royden Group's future."

Edgar had never spoken so highly of them.

The directors all excused themselves with huge smiles on their faces. Only then the office became quiet.

"I've held myself back all these years. Finally... Haha."

Edbert sat on the sofa. He held his cane with both hands and stared at the photo on the desk beside him.

His eyes were full of hatred as he said, "Brother, did you ever think this day would come? That your son will lose Royden Group? Now, Royden Group shall return to its rightful owner!" He held his cane tightly.

With his head lowered, he laughed so hard that he trembled all over.

"I knew that this day would come!"

He stood up suddenly and swept everything on the table to the ground.

"Everything here should have been mine. You should have been the one falling from that place!"

He roared in the office like a madman.

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door.

His whole body shook in surprise.

Then, he turned around slowly.

The anger on his face slowly disappeared and was replaced by an innocent gaze.

Sherry had witnessed all of this from outside the door.

He was like two different people! She was so afraid she dared not step forward.

George, who was standing beside her, reminded her.

"Ms.Summer, Mr.Royden is calling you"

Mr.Royden! Yes. Edbert was no longer the vice president now.

Sherry forced a smile and mustered up her courage to walk forward.

But her makeup could not hide her pale and shocked face.

"Uncle Edbert, my parents told me to send you this tea before they left." Sherry smiled and said.

Edbert quickly reached out and took them with both hands.

"Please give them my thanks.I appreciate it."

He gestured at George, and he quickly took out a new contract.

"Royden Group has officially obtained the license from the Rothschild family to develop that piece of land. Our families will be handling the gold mining business from now on." Sherry's face froze.

"Uncle Edbert, do you not know yet? The Rothschild family sold off that gold mine to Pinnacle Group"

Sherry's main purpose today was to apologize on behalf of her parents and Pinnacle Group for doing such a terrible thing to Royden Group.

"What?" Edbert glanced at her.

"Say that one more time!"

But repeating it wouldn't help change the outcome.

Sherry coughed lightly and got up quickly.

"I still have matters back in the company that I have yet to settle. Please contact Charles from Rothschild Group if you have any questions.I hear he is going to take over the family's business. More importantly, I heard that he is close to Edgar"

It seems like Edgar had plotted this, although, at the surface, he had let Edbert take over Royden Group.

"Gather all the directors now! We will have a meeting right now!"

Edbert watched Sherry leave furiously.

George, who was standing aside, had turned pale too. He quickly arranged the meeting.

At the same time, misfortune had bestowed Pinnacle Group.

"Mr.Summer, there's a problem with the mine"

His secretary was sweating.

"What's the matter? Did Edbert sent someone to cause trouble? Get a lawyer to deal with it."

Bernard was about to celebrate gaining such a huge profit. He did not care if Edbert thought he was a cruel person.

It was Royden Group's fault for insisting on working with him. It was normal for the stronger to survive in the cycle of life.

"That's not the case, Mr.Summer. There is a problem with the mine."

The secretary took out a lawsuit notice and said, "Our company is being sued"

"What?"

Bernard's eyes were filled with anger. But it was too late.

News had traveled all over social media just that morning.

Jean read the news in the changing room. She chuckled helplessly.

"How could you have thought you would win Edgar in scheming?"

She threw her phone into the locker.

She did not notice the other two racers.

"You will practice for the coming five days. Everyone on your team can practice. This is your access card. The door will be locked automatically at nine every night' Sonny brought them around for a tour. Then he added, "This race is indeed exhilarating, but it is dangerous. Since both of you are not professionals, and you are not in dire need of money, you don't have to try so hard... You know what I mean" "Sure.I'm just here to accompany Jean to de-stress"

Ben smiled and put on his helmet before he went onto his bike.

Sonny shook his head and advised Jean.

"I'm not worried about you. But Ben becomes unstoppable when he gets nervous. He only listens to you. So you must watch over him."

Although it was just a practice race, the weather was almost the same as during the race.

This was why the locals knew this place as Hell Racing Grounds.

They must not take this lightly! "Alright, Sonny.I understand."

Jean took her helmet and went to a bike at the back.

When Sonny saw Jean's face, he felt...

He quickly hurried towards her and said, "I heard from Franklin that you are jetlagged. Are you feeling better? Why don't you test drive tomorrow? We still have a few days to the race, after all" He did not expect the two of them to bag any positions in this race. He thought they were here just for fun.

There was no need for Jean to force herself.

"Don't worry, Sonny.I'm fine."

Jean insisted and got on her bike.

Sonny could not stop her, so he had no choice but to wait for them outside the racing grounds.

The weather was fine at first.

But a few minutes later, dark clouds filled the sky.

"A thunderstorm is coming!"

"It's a practice race today, right? What a pity. The rain seems to be heavy."

Sonny held his binoculars and looked at the two bikes on the racing grounds.

He raised the radio in his hand and said, "The weather is changing.Come back."
