Chapter 453

On the other hand, a stern look overtook Edgar’s eyes right after he exited the video conference.

Miles had finished processing the files.He knocked on the door before entering.

“Mr.Royden, the police have officially retracted the accusations against Sam.He will be released tomorrow”

“Send the present over”

With that, he walked to the door.

“Have you seen Jean?”

“No.”

Miles was surprised to hear that.

“Also, Mr.Edbert’s car just crossed the highway to the airport.”

Edgar arched his eyebrows, mumbling as he walked out, “I remember Rothschild Group…”

Taking a few more steps, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

“Jean!” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Panic and worry slowly spread on his usually indifferent face.He ran through the corridor with his voice echoing behind him.

Miles immediately contacted security.

“Check the security cameras in the company.We need to know if Ms.Eyer has left”

Edgar searched through every room, but Jean was nowhere to be found.

Just then, he received a call from Edbert.

“Edgar, are you so busy that you forgot to pick up the people from Rothschild Group? Fortunately, I received the information from Mr.Baldwin.I have handled it.He sounded as though he was genuinely looking out for Edgar.But Edgar clenched his phone tightly until veins were protruding from the back of his hand.

His voice deepened as he asked, “Where is she?”

Edbert asked with a smile in his voice, “Who?”

“Uncle Edbert!”

His voice was hoarse with fury.

He had already given enough chances to Edbert just because Edbert was an older family member, but Jean was his bottom-line.

On the other end, Edbert sneered, “I’ve told you so many times, but it hasn’t gotten through you, has it? As a business, you shouldn’t have feelings.

Andy is leaps and bounds better than you on this aspect.”

This was why he gave up on Edgar and worked with Andy instead.

Edgar’s face darkened.

“I’m in no mood to listen to that nonsense.Haven’t you been eyeing Royden Group? I can give it to you, but you must ensure me Jean is fine”

Gigi was a good enough example.He couldn’t let Jean suffer the same.

Otherwise, he could never make it up to her.

Edbert froze briefly before curling his lips.

“Why are you saying that? I’m your uncle, after all.You should probably look for her in the company.I support both of you-”

Before he could finish his sentence, Edgar hung up the call.

In the car, a wide smile spread across Edbert’s face.”I think I overestimated his patience.I can’t believe it would be so easy to get the company.However, I think we used Gigi for nothing.”

However, Edbert wanted more.In the passenger seat, George asked, “Are we still following the plan?”

“Ahem.My dear nephew has never really encountered any hardships.We must use this opportunity to teach him this won’t be the only challenge in his life.”

“Alright.I’ll contact Andy now.”

Everyone in Royden Tower was asked to look for Jean in every corner.

With Miles next to him, Edgar looked everywhere on that floor.As soon as he passed the storeroom, he turned around sharply and tried to knock the door open.He couldn’t afford the delay.

Any second wasted meant Jean’s suffering would prolong.He had been worried about such attacks since Jean returned with Gigi, so he asked Miles to send someone to keep an eye on her in secret.

Unexpectedly, she got into trouble right under his eyes.

“Mr.Royden!”

Before Miles could stop him, Edgar threw his body at the door.

A sharp screech rang as the door broke.

“Jean! Wake up! Look at me!” he yelled, holding Jean in his arms.

Then, he brought her out.

“To the hospital!”

An hour later, Edbert organized a meal with the Summer family and the Rothschild family at Majesty Hotel.

With a broad smile, he introduced both families to each other.

Bernard wanted to meet the Rothschild family, but he didn’t have the connections, so Edbert proposed to help him out.

Satisfied, Bernard raised his wine glass.

“With both of you as the successors to the Rothschild family, I can say that the future looks bright!”

However, both Sara and Charles were unimpressed.

They exchanged glances and took a sip.

Sara was bored, while Charles wanted to meet Edgar.

“When is Mr.Edgar coming?” This was the third time he asked.

His abrupt question made the situation slightly awkward.

“There’s an emergency at the company that needs him. He’ll join us when he’s done.”

With a smile, Edbert changed the topic.

“The seafood at this restaurant is amazing.You guys should give it a try”

Bernard was slightly displeased at Charles’ manners.

Young people nowadays simply don’t know basic respect and manners! Edgar is one of the pompous brats, and now Charles, who comes from a mafia family, is also disrespectful.

No one has ever slighted Pinnacle Group like this! In that instant, the atmosphere was slightly heated.

Venus shot a look at Sherry.

Before the meal, she had told Sherry that she should not consider Edgar or Andy her potential husband.

Charles, the son of the Rothschild family, was a good candidate who would benefit their family business.

On top of that, Charles hadn’t been married, so he might be easier to handle than Edgar.

Sherry didn’t like the idea, but she thought about it with a frown.

Just as she was about to humble herself and start a conversation with Charles, he received a call.

He picked it up and spoke in his native language.

No one except Sara could understand him.

Her face immediately darkened.

“Let’s go”

The pair of siblings stood up and left in a hurry.

Charles had rented a sports car when he arrived, and it was waiting for him at the hotel’s main entrance.

Sara leaped into the passenger seat, complaining in disdain, “Those guys were so mean! They deliberately delayed us.We would have been fooled if you didn’t have contacts in Royden Group!”

“Well, they have a saying here that all businessmen are cunning.”

Charles was not mad about the attempt to fool him.

However, he was annoyed that there were a lot of restrictions as a foreigner in this country.

The speed limit, especially, was a problem for him.

Before arriving at the hospital, he had been stopped by the police twice.

“Quick, Charles!” Sara yelled.

Charles put on his sunglasses.

“Hang tight.”

With a sharp swerve, he avoided the police car in front of him and sped to the hospital.
