Chapter 491

Edgar’s hands froze as he was chopping vegetables in the kitchen.

Jean opened her mouth at this point as if she wanted him to know.

Edgar became even more disinterested due to her candor.

“This Uncle Eyer’s life work, Jean.It cost you a lot to..”

Reclaim it from Edgar’s grasp.

Ben mumbled a few words and slumped miserably, “Jean, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me.I will help you solve it”

Jean lowered her eyes and shook her head, “No need, you have helped me enough.I can’t always trouble you”

Friends are friends.

Business is business.

“If anyone wants to buy the Eyer Group, you can introduce them to me.”

Jean opened the dessert box and took a sip.

The moment the sweet flavor dissolved in her mouth, her demeanor seemed to improve noticeably.

Ben kept staring at her without blinking.He was repressing all the justifications that would escape his lips as the emotions in his eyes became increasingly evident.

Even if someone had to reason with her, it shouldn’t be him.

Ben was sent out by Jean, who then left Edgar to work in the kitchen and didn’t come back.

They seemed to be in two distinct worlds even though they were alone in the same house.

The man took off his apron, turned, and walked out of the kitchen.

“Sell it to me”

He stepped forward a few steps, the light in his eyes was deep and cold, but with an undeniable undeterrent force.

“I’m not joking, if you really made up your mind to sell the company, you can sell it to me.”

Jean frowned, “Do you even have the money to buy it?”

She continued drinking her dessert, “Besides, I want cash.”

Edgar’s face tensed up.

He smiled, “Even if I no longer serve as Royden’s president, I still have this little money.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org – All rights reserved.

The stern expression on his face still rendered Jean hostage in her attempts to avert her gaze.

“All right, I’ll have Rachel estimate the cost with a member of the accounting team before I speak with you.”

Jean got to her feet and turned to face the kitchen.

“Susan has also been informed that I am independent of anyone’s care.Don’t come here again in the future, either.”

Future? Edgar pulled his fingers back into his palm.

Just as Jean was about to assume that he would be so furious that he would walk away, the man abruptly stepped closer and grasped her waist.

Pressing down on Jean’s body, and the two bodies were quite close together.He inched closer to her.

It made Jean’s heart beat faster.

He had to support her shoulder with the palm of his hand, preventing closure, “Dont…

Edgar paused, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated.

It was replaced with gentle concern, “I won’t make you feel uncomfortable.I’m just afraid that you won’t be able to figure it out for a while and make a decision that shouldn’t be made.”

Jean gritted his teeth, “I know exactly what I’m doing.”

The only thing she could do for this child was to cut off all ties with this place, go to a place where no one knew them, and start over.

Even if they used this money to buy a small house in the country, it was enough for them to live a stable life.

And she almost gave up until she noticed the man in front of her.

After taking in her response with his half-closed eyes, Edgar replied in a low voice, “No, you don’t know anything at all, and you constantly do as you like, just to regret it afterward.”

His voice grew softer as he continued to speak.

Edgar’s voice dipped lower.She shook from it.

Edgar put his hands around her neck, bowed his head, and gave her a passionate kiss.

Inch by inch…

While momentarily dejected, he kissed the tears that were streaming on her cheeks.

He quickly stopped all motion.

“Sorry” His hand loosened.

‘Smack’ Jean raised her hand and slapped him hard on the face.

“I’m not the kind of woman you can do things to as you please, Mr.Royden, you can go now’ While lowering his head, Edgar mockingly curled the corners of his lips.

“Yes, I went too far, and constantly made you back away.In the future, I’ll pay closer regard to propriety.”

He removed the blanket from her shoulders as it started to slide off, but Jean retreated as soon as she sensed his movement.

Edgar felt as if he had been stabbed.He frowned.

“The meal is in that pot.”

He gave a command in a stern voice before walking away.

Jean turned around, stared at him in a daze as he got into the car, and then walked away.She moved into the kitchen and smelled the aroma of the food.

The bitterness in her heart became stronger.

In the meantime.

Edbert Royden was officially discharged from the hospital.

When he left the hospital, some reporters heard the news and blocked him and George at the entrance of the hospital.

“Mr.Royden, should we bypass them?”

Leaning on crutches, Edbert Royden shook his head slowly, “No, I want to know what it looks like outside now: He wanted to fight Edgar again.To the last moment, it is still unknown who will win the game.

“Okay, I’ll inform Miss Xena now”

Edbert Royden left, and George obeyed the orders.

“Hey Mr.Royden, how are you doing? Did you experience a crisis at the Royden Group conference room as a result of company business?”

“Will you come back to work at Royden’s when you’re released from the hospital?”

“Is your connection with Edgar going well?”

Edbert Royden steadily remained still while raising his hand.

“I’m not feeling well, everyone.I recently located my daughter, and I want to get some rest soon.I don’t want to interfere with our relationship.”

“Your daughter?”

The reporters looked at each other.

According to reports, Edbert Royden did get married abroad many years ago.

From a distance, George brought Xena over, “Miss Xena.He is your father, the vice president of the Royden Group.”

Xena was stunned.

“Father?”

After she finished speaking, the photographer snapped a picture of her and Edbert Royden together in the same frame.

Then, as the news became overwhelming, many individuals began to speculate in private that Edbert Royden would never step down.He had only recently discovered his daughter, and he would do anything to protect her.

George unlocked the car door and sent their father and daughter home after declining the reporter’s request for a private interview.

“I want to go back to school” said Xena ina disheartened fashion.

George looked at Edbert.

“Let her leave, I understand that it will take some time for her to accept a stepfather like me.”

Edbert Royden was unconcerned and instead offered Xena a card.

“I’ll give it to you even if you don’t spend it, so take it.As my gift to you and your mother, I will put a little amount of money into this card each year.”

Xena clutched the card.She yelled with hatred, “Why did you only come to me now! Why!”

If it had been earlier, she would have met Edgar earlier.
