Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Threatened "What's that smirk about?!" Gigi bit her lips in anger when she saw Jean's smile. "Nothing. I just thought you were guilty of cheating on Edgar; that's why you haven't been able to keep him all this while." "Nonsense!" Gigi retorted immediately, but her voice was obviously much weaker than before. Besides, she subconsciously glanced backward with a guilt-stricken look.

Jean narrowed her eyes as she was more assured of her assumptions-Gigi was cheating on Edgar. Tsk. I've never imagined that Edgar would one day be two-timed.

"I'm going to sleep in this room anyway. Get lost now!" Gigi forcefully pulled Jean out of the room. She knew the guest room downstairs only had a single bed, and she could only be at ease if Jean had stayed there.

However, Jean did not respond to Gigi. Frustrated, Gigi fumed, "Quickly get out already!" Jean shook her head. "What about you cin, and we can sleep in the sroom?" I'm not going to let Gigi get what she wants! Suddenly, Gigi had a brainwave and directly took the blanket from the guest room. "Fine. I'll sleep here tonight!" Since I can't chase Jean away, I should at least stay in the sroom as her, so I can keep an eye on her and prevent her from seducing Edgar at night.

Jean smirked and reminded Gigi, "Don't forget that Edgar and I are enemies.” The next second, Gigi placed her hand on her abdomen as she recalled how Jean taught her a lesson in the ladies restroom. She gripped the blanket and warned, "Edgar is not going to let you off if you dare to lay a finger on me!" "Oh, is it? I thought there were sproblems going on between you two," Jean said while lying down on the other side of the bed.

Her comment hit the bullseye.

Later, Jean took out her phone and typed a message for Ben. 'Did the operation go well? I'm handling smatters and will visit you after this.' However, the message couldn't be sent out for sreason.

Jean frowned and walked toward the outside while holding her phone.

Gigi grabbed her at once. "Where are you going?" Jean rolled her eyes at Gigi and blurted, "I'm going to make a call.” She shoved Gigi's hand away and headed to the corridor. However, the signal was equally weak in the corridor. Just then, she recalled a similar occurrence at Zoe's place, which were caused by the signal jammers.

Did Edgar use that trick too, to makestay here? Jean looked around and decided to go to the study room as she thought there should have the strongest signal of all places.

She knocked on the door of the study room, but there was no response. She glanced at the phone screen and noticed the signal bars were activated, so she walked straight into the room.

A few seconds later, footsteps approached the study room. Jean was standing beside the window and was blocked by a pot of plants.

Not long after Edgar entered the study room, he answered an incoming call.

"Andy made a mistake with the inventories last time, and this the's insisting on partnering with the Ludwig family? It's normal that Mr. Langley and the others supported him. They have been backing each other up in the previous board meetings." Is this regarding Royden Group? Jean arched her brows. She didn't mean to eavesdrop on the conversation, but she happened to overhear it. Oh well, it's not like I purposely wanted to listen to the conversation.

She reckoned that if she showed up at that moment, Edgar would surely accuse her of eavesdropping, and she couldn't possibly defend herself. So, she decided to continue hiding.

"I've said that I will not collaborate with Ludwig Group." "I won't change my mind no matter how many inventories they can offer." Jean furrowed her brows. No wonder Myer has been pulling a long face the past few days. It turns out that he lost Royden Group, a strong business partner.

Nonetheless, despite his cold-bloodedness, Jean knew Edgar wouldn't be reckless when it cto business decisions. Otherwise, Royden Group wouldn't have prospered in a short time.

Jean could see Edgar's bony side profile reflected in the mirror. The man took a cup of coffee from the table and had a sip.

As he glanced toward the other side of the curtain, his lips curled up slightly, but the smirk was quickly dismissed.

"Also, I want Ben and his team to be banned from all racing tournaments in the next three years." Miles was startled at the other end of the line. "Mr. Royden?" He was not aware of the matter before this. Besides, they were talking about the company's matter a second ago.

Edgar hummed in response. “I don't care what the final result from the racing association is. I want them to follow my instructions. Otherwise, our company will not sponsor any of their tournaments from now on." Contents belong to With that, Edgar hung up the call.

Thereafter, he retracted his gaze from the curtain, put down the coffee cup, and pretended to be working. "Edgar Royden, you're too much! Not only did you refuse to partner with Ludwig Group, but you want to sabotage Ben's racing career. What has he done to offend you that you have to do this to him?!" Jean couldn't hold it in anymore and cout from behind the plant.

She slammed her hand on the table and yelled, "Cafterif you're unhappy with me. Leave Ben alone!" Ben was one of her very few friends, so she didn't want to implicate any of them.

However, Edgar interpreted her words differently. Initially, he was plotting to make Jean Stay for a few days more, but he changed his mind when he saw Jean get all worked up because of Ben. It made his blood boil. Since she cares about Ben so much...

"Indeed, I dislike him and want to pick on him and Ludwig Group. Do I need your permission to do that?" Edgar wore a half-smile; his eyes were as deep as the ocean.

Jean felt attacked by Edgar's scorn, but she couldn't retort.

Edgar lifted his brows as the outcwas not as expected. öm Jean's response always caught him off guard. He subconsciously moved his gaze toward her red lips as the kiss just now resurfaced in his mind. "If you agree to my conditions, perhaps I'll consider letting him off." Edgar set the trap in a deep voice.

He was confident that Jean would fall into the trap. She almost lost her life when she transfused blood for Ben in operation, so Edgar wagered there was nothing she wouldn't do for Ben.

"What are your conditions?" Jean asked slowly with all her guards up.

Edgar took out his phone and put it in front of Jean. "Call Ben with my phone." Jean frowned. "Tell him you'll not meet him anymore from now onwards because you're going to join Royden Group." Jean was dumbfounded while Edgar stood up, his tall figure blocking the light in front of Jean. His shadow enveloped Jean as he approached her.

He croaked in a hoarse voice, "Do you dare do that? Or, it doesn't matter, even if Ben is barred fromparticipating in any tournaments in the next three years. Oh dear, I wonder how many years can a top racer afford to waste in his career." Edgar's eyes were filled with coldness as he said that.

I can't believe I'm doing this to keep her by my side. I must have lost my mind! X
