Edgar and His Destined Wife
Chapter 492

Chapter 492

Hearing Xena's tone towards Edbert Royden, George reminded in time, "Miss Xena, you shouldn't speak in that manner to Mr.Royden."

Xena acted.She carefully lowered his head while still holding the card. She urgently needs money.

With money, you might dress like those wealthy women and carry name-brand bags as opposed to today, when you have nothing.

"Sorry" Xena's voice came out gentle.

Seeing her reaction, Edbert Royden smiled with satisfaction, "Don't be nervous, I won't blame you, if you have some emotions, you should vent them out. You just need to remember one thing, from today onwards, you are no longer what you used to be. You are a daughter of the Royden family, and in the future, one of the heirs of the Royden family"

The light in Xena's eyes brightened. She murmured, "Really?"

"Of course, I heard that you want to do an internship at Royden's?"

Xena nodded hurriedly. She wanted to be closer to Edgar.

"No problem, I'll get someone to arrange it right away. You can go to work next week."

Xena rushed towards him, "Thank you!"

Edbert Royden patted the girl on the back, "No, thank you, There are many things that can be re-planned. Since she is simply his first wife's abandoned child, they were not actually related by blood. She was only an acquaintance of Edgar. Edbert Royden will undoubtedly take her back to Royden's home considering this. He notified George right after as Xena exited the vehicle.

"Allow the business to prepare. She should be placed next to Royden."

"Mr.Royden, then you...

"I won't go to the company for the time being. To avoid the limelight, those things will be suppressed and dealt with cleanly"

Edbert Royden crossed his hands in front of him, with a deep grin.

"Not yet."

"Understood, Mr.Royden."

George immediately turned the steering wheel and sent Edbert Royden back home.

Jean also requested that a lawyer assume Hiram Zimmer's prior duties and assist her in dropping the litigation against Sherry Summer when the Royden Group's internal strife abated. She also received a letter of invitation from the Pinnacle Group at the same time.

I'm hoping she can come to Mrs. Summer's family's birthday celebration.

This is a cue and a chance to improve the dynamic between the two businesses.

The Summer family was not obligated to do this.

Compared with the Pinnacle's strength, the Eyer family was not worth mentioning.

But Pinnacle needed to maintain its public image to the outside world, and it is very likely that he would replace a good excuse for Sherry so that she could escape successfully.

Now that Gigi was in prison, the Summer family could say whatever they wanted.

"I don't think you should go."

Ben immediately put the invitation letter on the table, "You don't need to think about it to know what the people in the Summer family are thinking. If you go, it will be like a red wedding."

Jean hummed.

"And I heard that although the Summer family doesn't favor Sherry, she is the most capable among the younger generation. If she was a boy, she would have taken over the Summer family's business long ago, so...are you listening to me?"

Ben hastily took a position in front of her.

Because Jean has already begun to get ready for this feast.

"Ben, I understand what you've just said, but I have to go."

Jean's eyes were firm, "If they are determined to restore Sherry's image, they will definitely come to me.I disagree, but then they will definitely replace trouble with the Reece's."

"I don't want that to happen' There were only the two of them left in the Eyer family.

Ben paused and ruminated before he responded, "Then I'll go with you."

Jean thought for a while but didn't refuse.

"I guess I'm troubling you again. My treat when this dinner is over.

"You can't run away from this banquet."

Ben took his suit jacket and drove outside.

Although Jean examined her lower belly in the mirror and was wearing a loose-fitting evening dress, there was nothing noticeably different about her physique. The two drove quickly to the dinner gathering. Today's financial news came from the car radio, "Royden's Group restarted a project that had been put on hold for a month, and made a high-profile announcement...

Jean directly changed the channel. She turned her head to one side, looking at the street scene outside the window.

Ben gripped the steering wheel, and said softly, "Escape is not the best way to solve the problem. You should think about whether you really want to sell the Eyer Group." Edgar would say the same thing since he didn't want her to regret it.

You won't ever get it back if you sell it to someone else.

Jean was assured that this point was apparent.

Jean hummed softly and cast a narrowing glance at the opulent hotel structure in front of her.

"Is this the hotel in which the Pinnacle invested?"

"Yes, Pinnacle forced out the prior owner and purchased the business for 30% less than the going rate. There is simply no way out for Summer's family regarding the business."

On the news, Jean learned that the operator had to commit suicide by jumping off a building in order to save his family after being driven into debt.

The same thing occurred years ago.

Sam Reece was also sued in court early in the development of Reece's Group, but that event was ultimately resolved.

They could take advantage of the legal loopholes, notwithstanding everything. It's awful how it was done.

Sam Reece had been recovering in the hospital without seeing anybody since the police halted their inquiry.

When the automobile pulled into the hotel parking area, Jean's cell phone started to ring.It was Officer Bunnings calling.

"Miss Eyer, I have some good news for you. Because someone provided new evidence, Sam Reece's case will shortly be revived as a result of fresh evidence being presented. This time, a conclusion is surely in store, but things won't go smoothly either"

Jean's eyes lit up at the words of Officer Bunnings.

She gripped the door handle, "Is there anything I can do?"

"I hope you can meet Gigi before the trial. After all, as a key witness, she is very important to the direction of the judgment of the whole case."

Officer Bunnings whispered, "I Know you are relatives.If you talk, she should listen. Do you get what I'm saying?"

Jean hesitated for a while, then nodded.

"You've been a resident of Reece's home for a long time and have always thought of Sam Reece as a member of the family.I can appreciate your concern"

"That's good. The court session and subsequent trial schedule will be sent to you as soon as it is available"

Jean inhaled deeply as she heard the phone disconnecting.Ben recognized her worried expression, "You know, we could always just leave..."

"It's okay, let's go" said Jean.

She lifted his eyes to meet his.

As they proceeded up the stairs together, they could make out Sherry standing next to the Summer family pair with an unforeseen individual to her left.

"Charles?"

Jean was startled. He exchanged a glance with Ben.

"This is surprising."

Jean hummed, "Maybe this is why the Summer family has the confidence to enter the domestic market"
